12 Best Breakfast Restaurants near Travelers Rest

“I have to start out by saying this place brings you back to your southern roots from the moment you walk in the door. Such a cool spot with local artists painting on the wall and some really old and neat decor. I have had their breakfast here several times and their Driver omelette is amazing. Today we went for lunch and heard that they are famous for their tomato pie. After trying it, I can definitely see why!!! It is a quiche baked into a flakey pie crust (like chicken pot pie) with sliced oven roasted homegrown tomatoes seasoned to perfection. This is the best thing I have ordered from here by far. I had Mac and cheese which was ok but their collared greens and sweet potato casserole were great! The servers are great with fast southern style service that makes you feel like you are part of the family. If you are wanting a great breakfast or lunch with amazing food and people, The Hungry Drover is the place to be! Make sure before you leave, you buy a homemade cinnamon roll that is so sweet and fresh and the size of a dinner plate. Highly recommend“

“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.“

“This is my first visit, ever. This place has inside and outside seating. I ordered the Spartan omelet with potatoes. This is a massive serving and well seasoned. The potatoes were amazing. The organic coffee was splendid, and Courtney went over and above. Great job.“

“Wow! The people are great here! Big smiles, greetings and I am a big fan of the newer dish called Hash. They allowed me to replace the bacon with tomatoes and it is so delicious. I also like a signature dish called The Squawking Goat that was featured on the Food Network many years ago. On a regular old day, their grits are great on their own. I would recommend this place and if you are a local, they have a Coffee Club for $35 for the year. The best value for me because sometimes on a busy morning I fly by and grab a coffee to go. The atmosphere here is lovely, older people, families, cultural diversity and a clear view of the kitchen and being able to watch the biscuits being made is always a nice moment to witness. I have been coming here for about three years now and probably tried everything by now, waffles, fritaffles, biscuits and gravy, vegetarian gravy, smash browns with salsa, Blue Grass grits bowl....just really good food.“

“The food was warm and delicious. The service was minimal and efficient. The atmosphere was the right amount of busy but calm. This was my first visit to this location, but it matched my expectations and experiences at other locations. The consistency of Waffle House is always so comforting.“

“Had a great breakfast at Eggs Up Grill in Greenville, South Carolina. A very cute inviting restaurant. They had a really great breakfast and brunch menu with a few alcoholic options. The service was stellar. Everyone was super helpful and kept asking us if we needed anything. The coffee was absolutely delicious. I had the shrimp and grits omelet which was out of this world. It had shrimp and Swiss cheese with green pepper. Outrageous!! The home fries that came with it were perfectly seasoned. The chocolate chip pancakes were also delicious. Full of chocolate chips!! We also had the shrimp and grits bowl and that was to die for!! I wish I had a second stomach so I could’ve eaten more things. Will definitely go back!“

“One of the best waffle houses I have been to. Food was fast and prepared perfectly. The waitress was very friendly for that late of hour and made sure my drink was never empty. I will definitely be going to this location over others while on duty.“

“On our way home, my friend and I went out for breakfast at the waffle house. The location in Greenville was pretty busy. We had a nice little girl as our waitress. She came right then to get our order. I had the traditional breakfast with scrambled eggs and ham. It was really tasty and good at the same time. My friend got pork chops, eggs, and a waffle. It looked so good. She said it was also tasty. It was the first time I have seen two cooks working at the same time in a while. I know now that is the best breakfast spot on that side of Greenville. I will visit again!“

“This IHOP location is the best one around! Pat , the manager, makes sure everything is perfect! Neshia was our server, and we could not be happier. She was the best server and made our visit impeccable! I can't recommend this place enough! Even if you think it's too busy to get a seat readily, give it a go. They turn tables over quickly, and we have not had a wait ever.“

“The lady who served us our waffles was probably the nicest person I’ve ever met. The waffles were scrumptious and the hash browns were divine. I never thought I’d meet someone so kind at a waffle house, yet she welcomed me and my dad with hospitality and kindness. 10/10“
