The campus of Furman University is located just south of the city limits of Travelers Rest, but the university retains a Greenville address based on its ZIP code. The name "Travelers Rest" came from the fact that it is situated close to the border with the North Carolina mountains.

Travelers would often have to spend the winter there, waiting for the snow to clear in the mountains before continuing northward.

Stopped in to try this spot last weekend and were very disappointed. I can truly say we tried everything...got the sampler platter and the pork belly...also 5 different sides. Nothing was worth a repeat. The brisket, ribs, and wings were dry. The pulled pork was ok but not something Iâd want again. The house made sausage not good either. The pork belly probably the worst Iâve ever had. As for the sides...the Mac and cheese highly salty, cauliflower casserole tasted days old, the collard greens were well seasoned but drowned in vinegar, the fried okra was ok, the smoked potato salad undercooked and didnât taste smoked at all. The one positive thing was we had good service. I donât typically write harsh reviews but Iâm not sure how this place stays open...donât waste your money.

This is a hometown restaurant and seems to have been here forever. The food is what I would consider country cooking. I ordered a four vegetable plate and cost around $6.00. I don't think you can get fast food this cheap and the best part is the food is healthy. I look forward to eating here more often.

We brought my fiance's family (9 people) here on a whim and for being such a small restaurant they were so accommodating! The food was fantastic and the servers were wonderful! Grace, who was either the manager or asst. manager kept coming by and checking to make sure we had everything we needed. The fish and chips were so amazing and there's such a great ambiance to Hare & Field. Everyone loved it and want to come back next time they're in town!

Rocket Surgery has so much going for it; An innovative chef, pleasant wait staff and some memorable dishes. Notably is their fresh Strawberry salad - a total, and complete winner! The flavor profiles in this dish are unexpected and youâll be craving this app for days afterward. Another winner app is the ricotta cheese - a surprising wow. And, the Brussels Spouts and bacon app. For dessert the Tiramisu was hands down the favorite.

My friend told me I needed to try the burger. The burger was awesome and Iâll certainly be back. Next time I want to give the daily special Iâll try Iâm sure it will be just as good.

We came here because it sounded like it had some good options for us girls (me, my grandmother, and my cousin) on the menu, because the 2 places that we came to check out happened to be closed today. We came in with an open mind hoping for a delicious lunch while we caught up. Sadly, it took the waitress about 7 to 10 minutes to greet us for our drink order, enough so we had our meals decided. It took her another 5 to bring us these drinks. Then, we sat for 50 minutes before our food came. 50. My grandma and I ordered salads and my cousin had a hamburger. And the restaurant was NOT packed, on a Wednesday... at 1p. THEN... my cousins burger was undercooked... and the salads were pretty underwhelming. I would recommend for a family with young kids, or for guys looking to grab some fries and a beer.... anything else, head elsewhere.

Dined here for the first time this past weekend. The setting is beautiful and reminds you of somewhere in Europe. It is very easy to access from downtown Greenville. The restaurant has an elegant interior. They have a good selection of meat options, few vegetarian options. They also have a large drink menu. Most of the food comes from local farms and is very fresh. Our meals were tasty, although the portions were small and pricey. Overall, slightly underwhelmed with our experience and likely won't go out of our way to dine here again.

Have tried this restaurant several times now and it is always good. From farm to restaurant food makes it even better. The Hungry Drover breakfast is more than can handle. The biscuits are good and the homemade bread is excellent. They also have cooking classes.

Stopped after a long trip because we were driving through town and hadnât been here in a while. We remembered it as fairly good but not today. My wifeâs potato skins were simply cut up potatoes with cheese on top. My beet salad was not that good. Sweet potato chips were not worth the bother. My.wifeâs napkin was full of holes. Place has gone downhill.

It was very crowded and busy, but we still were seated quickly, and served beverages, then appetizer then pizza in short order. Loved the pizza crust Twists as appetizer: hot and soft with a marinara sauce. The Bacon Bliss pizza was also very good.
