18 Best American Restaurants near Slater Marietta

“Stop in 5 minutes before closing after a all day hike at Jones Gap State Park. Was greeted with great hospitality. Got a couple of burgers and was not disappointed. I chose to eat outside so they could close up. But it definitely was a good quality burger. We will have to try their hot dog next time. They make a bold claim.“

“I grew up in Mexico, and everywhere I travel I’m searching for the taste of home. Sadly, most Mexican restaurants in the US, even those with Mexican cooks, cater to an American palate. They invent foods unknown south of the border and utilize ingredients that are not part of the our cuisine. Not these folks. Their food catapults me to my childhood. What a gem of a place! The owners/cooks are from Central Mexico, and their menu reflects that. Come and be ready to finally learn what authentic Mexican food really tastes like. ¡Viva México!“

“We were driving through the area and stopped here for a coffee (and a pup cup). The staff were extremely friendly and it is dog friendly. They made our dog a pup cup with whipped cream and treats. I ordered an iced coffee and black and it was really good. I may order a seasonal drink next time. I highly recommend this coffee shop. It is just right off the road and has a great atmosphere.“

“John and Jenny Artune are great people and they have a great establishment . They have been huge supporters of the Pumpkintown FD and we appreciate everything they have done to help us. Please go see them and support small local businesses!“

“This was truly an incredible experience. Very much an actual chef's table, with Chef Gene giving us so much information, so much of his time, and so much food! We took home multiple to go boxes. Every course was inventive and fun, and I strongly recommend going there open to whatever Chef Gene has in mind, because it is a crazy fun and innovative culinary adventure tour. Our meal ended with a steak (any cut of our choosing?!?) that he deep fried in Wagyu tallow (?!?!) - our minds were blown. Everything was great, but I think my favorite was this amazing mahi mahi on a bed of salsa verde, pureed corn, with a Peruvian tomato-based sauce. All of those flavors came together beautifully, and the fish was perfectly pan-fried. Just as importantly, everybody there seemed to be having fun and actually enjoying their job, which feels way too rare these days. For Greenville/Greer-based folks it is definitely worth the drive. It's good to get away from Main Street and take in the peace and quiet and greenery, and delicious food.“

“The restaurant sits directly off the highway not as I thought (tucked in a side road, more country). Having said that, we were there for breakfast 1) the place was spotless, clean! 2) food was good, right out of Grandma's kitchen 3) service was prompt and friendly.“

“Local bakery/deli that excels at breakfast in particular. A short trek off the main drag, but easily walkable. Not infrequently less of a wait for higher quality food than a lot of places in Travellers Rest. Lots of eclectic outdoor seating with plenty of room for larger parties to stretch out. Great for take away baked goods and sandwiches as well.“

“We were on our way home to Charleston when we stopped at the clock restaurant outside of iEasley. Ellis and I said after we took our first bites of our meal... Move over lizard thicket...this is your competition. We ordered the special of the week, the c country steak along with the well, seasoned canned green beans, and the creamy mac & cheese. The country fried steak with its brown gravy was delicious.All of our food was super hot, and the waitress brought it to our numbered table. the service was gracious, and they checked back to see that our food was OK and whether we wanted a refill on our drinks. Zachary and GEORGE ordered burgers with french fries and onion rings. The burgers were not grilled, they were steamed. The fries and onion rings were crispy. George thought that the Batter was a bit too crispy and he couldn't taste the onion. On the other hand, Ellis and I thought the onion rings were crispy, hot and delicious. So if you want to know what we think, Ellis and I would say...order the house special of the week. George and Zachary say... best experience is looking at it in your rearview mirror. We had great fun writing our "four star" review.“

“Ate here at an odd time, 3 o'clock on a Sunday. The staff was very friendly, the atmosphere there was welcoming. I really enjoyed the multiple options per entree. I got generic chicken tenders, but the gave me so many options. It made a usually boring meal very entertaining. It has so much flavor! I will definitely be back.“
