Restaurants in Travelers Rest

“We had a lovely lunch on the back deck listening to acoustic music. It was so such a special experience. The food was beautiful and delicious and the staff was lovely. Can’t wait to go back!”

“We had a wonderful time here at the cafe! They have the small town charm in spades here and the friendly staff make you feel like you are in a movie! We loved our experience here and are so glad to have made memories here!”

“Great place to pop in for excellent tacos after a walk on the swamp rabbit trail.

Sat at the bar for a few beers and tacos. They have some unique items and quick friendly service.

Everyone loves tacos and this is a great place to get some.”

“If you are looking for a beautiful view, delicious food and great service, look no further than Restaurant 17.”

“Excellent Food , as always, however, the Hostess tonight was extremely rude!!”

“Great staff. Great beer. Dog friendly!”

“A great mom and pop cafe off the beatin’ path. They really make you feel welcome.”

“Best cheese burger made my a really cute guy!”

“We biked the swamp rabbit trail - half our group wanted sushi and the other half wanted pizza. Sushi Yama was nice to let the other half of our group have their pizza out on the patio dining area. Our water was super knowledgeable and helpful! Sushi was some of the best I've had. Highly recommend the Carolina roll and the swamp rabbit roll (if you are ok with cream cheese)... Love the area for kids next door with plastic axe throwing, etc.

Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly”

“Simple, delicious Pho. Excellent service. Vegetables are very fresh, everything high quality + all the fine details down to the way the onions and herbs are sliced make this a top tier experience. Hidden gem of the upstate!”

“We love this charming winery in the woods! Everything about it is delightful. The owners are so nice and easy to talk to. The property is so peaceful! Their dog Lilly is precious. And the wine is devine!!!”

“Edited my own review after realizing I was hurting the brewery because of the customers near us talking so loudly about politics, which isn’t the fault of the brewery staff who were prompt and helpful! Give it a try and enjoy!”

“Great food. Everyone is so accommodating”

“They have the best hamburger steak (The Rev) that I have ever eaten. Top that with some gravy, mushrooms and grilled onions and it's out of this world! We had been camping at Jones Gap and had our dog with us so they let us sit at the table outside. Everyone was so sweet. One of the ladies brought our dog a water bowl and the cook brought our food out to us. I had collards and mac & cheese for sides and they were wonderful as well. We always visit Northwest Grill when we go camping. I wish we were closer just so we could eat here more often. You locals sure are lucky. Great food, excellent service and nice people!”

“My husband and I ate here for valentines & it did not disappoint. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was perfect, and the staff were so polite!”

“I received a recommendation to stop here on my 2-week roadtrip and I’m so glad I did! Loved it!!! Wonderful food, friendly people. ❤️”

“Super cute coffee shop inside. The staff is always very cheerful, kind and fast. The coffee is delicious! ☕️ I also really appreciate the drive through window. 🙌🏼”

“Best chai lattes anywhere around!”

“The food is good, the service staff was very helpful and the atmosphere was typical of most Mexican restaurants that I go to. Our server barely spoke any English but she worked very hard to try and make the meal perfect. She was very good!”

“Everything I've ever eaten here has been delightful. We are GF (gluten free) and vegan. Sidewall has the best GF pizza Everrrr. Hands down. Also, every employee that I've encountered there is kind, patient, helpful and really wants to make sure you have a great experience. Even when they're super busy, Sidewall staff are always on top of things. I had a an over-the-top experience today at the Travelers Rest location in the afternoon, and I am oh-so-forever grateful for them today.”

“Good food great service clean place to take your family.”

“This was our second time at Coastal Crust and we had Rachel again as a server! I think she was the only server working, but we never felt neglected and she went above and beyond to make sure we always had water and that everything was okay and to our liking. The Italian salad and fig & prosciutto pizza are amazing!! Will definitely come back again, hopefully Rachel is working!! ??”

“Friendly down home service! Awesome and delicious food!”

“Very good food great service”

“Had supper here last week with a friend. It was pretty good! I got the Rocky Balboa burger, and he got a Philly Cheesesteak. My burger had a fried egg and bacon on top. The bacon was VERY salty, so it overpowered the flavor of the burger itself. But the 8 oz of meat was juicy and tender. The onion rings were also delicious. It's definitely worth going back, in my opinion! Especially because they also have two, three, and four-patty burgers! Definitely want to try one of those sometime... ?”

“Been wanting to try this spot for a while and finally got around to it. Classic diner with the best prices in the area! Pancakes, bacon, eggs, biscuits were all great. Will be coming back!”

“Awesome food. I asked for Meatloaf and the owner placed it on the menu the next week. Great food and customer service. I wish they were open every day for supper.”

“Definitely worth a Whistle Stop.”

“We go here often. With my twin granddaughters. They eat well and love the candy machines too. Great place to eat!”

“The cook she was great, the server she was terrible. The server was not friendly at all, bad attitude when she brought our food on 8/10/22 at 6:45 pm the server never came to refresh our coffee and left the cook all alone with all the tables full. Manager needs to pull security and see this. For 25 minutes we never saw her again. We finished our meal and she still was not back. The cook was having to cook, clean tables. wait on customers, she was doing a great job. TR waffle house hope you look at your security footage.”

“Stopped in for lunch was working in area, had cheeseburger plate and was delicious fries were hot and fresh cheeseburger tasted really good the tea was sweet, thank you for the great lunch! Definitely check them out!”

“Pup sundae for Rocky’s first birthday!”

“My wife and I just moved to this area from Landrum but Spartanburg part. We have ordered from Nate’s, and the food has been great. Pizza was good, cheese bread was delicious, but we tried the hot subs….and wow! I have gotten the Meatball sub 3-4 times already. My wife has tried multiple subs and has loved them all. Great bread, thin, and crunchy. The meatballs are great, melted cheese, sauce, and a great seasoning to top it off! This place knocks it out every time!”

“Petee's has always been our, "go to"for a quick bite when in town but today was not good. The wait at the drive through was long and the over cooked hamburgers were cold. I'm sorry Petee's I call it like I see it.”

“I was there today, and they made me a shake and a tea just let me say so amazing that I joined today go try them out”

“it's just a great place. I wish I got to meet Karl.....”

“Friendly staff, good portions with more then expected meat. Quite tasty and affordable. Skip the fast food and go here instead. ���”

“We stopped by 4/6/24 after leaving the car show at advance auto parts, and the staff was great! Ashley and another employee were nice enough to come out to our vehicle and check out the audio!! We definitely recommend this restaurant for a family friendly restaurant.”

“Wow!!! Food is incredible!! Service is amazing!!! What an awesome spot! 1st time today and will be back as much as possible!!”

“Always a home run when we eat here! The fried green tomato sandwich is amazing!”

“It is so nice to drive down the mountain and see civilization again. I am writing this review after all the storms and flooding from Helinie and it is clean, the food is hot, and credit cards work as well as their restrooms. Right now I could not ask for more.

Kid-friendliness: Has a play area and plenty of kids having fun.”
