Top 5: Where to Dine in Greenville, South Carolina

Greenville, South Carolina, has been a popular destination for travelers seeking scenic hikes, southern culture or the sort of history you’d find at the city’s various museums, but, now, the city is becoming known as a culinary destination, too. Here are five top-recommended restaurants to visit next time you’re in town.

Soby’s New South Cuisine

Soby’s New South Cuisine isn’t really new at all, but it is a can’t-miss on any foodie’s itinerary. Try menu favorites like the barbecue shrimp and grits, fried green tomatoes with jalapeño pimento cheese and crab cakes remoulade.

CAMP Modern American Eatery

CAMP Modern American Eatery is much newer, opening last year with a chef at the helm who boasts experience at a little restaurant you might just recognize called French Laundry. This is not your normal Southern cuisine, though. Think entrees like coconut curry chicken, sea scallops with celeriac puree and marinated turnips, and swordfish schnitzel.

Southern Pressed Juicery

For those who need a little pick-me-up, Southern Pressed Juicery offers a menu of cold-pressed juices, smoothies, energy bowls and superfood lattes to keep you healthy and energized while on the go. The juicery also offers healthful cold dishes like wraps and salads, and also hot oatmeal.

Molly and Myles Ice Cream

See why this ice cream shop has been called one of the best in multiple national publications. Find everything your sweet tooth desires, featuring not only ice cream but also all kinds of candy and other sugary goodness, from your childhood favorite cereals to cotton candy and doughnuts.

Oak Hill Cafe

This restaurant received a James Beard nod in 2021 as a semifinalist for Best New Restaurant, and it’s easy to see why. A combined restaurant and farm, Oak Hill Cafe offers a robust selection of vegetarian and vegan options, alongside inventive plates such as deviled egg spheres and roe on crostini or a mushroom stew over southern grits.
