In all, the South Carolina Department of Agriculture made 387 routine and follow-up inspections for the month. A total of 358 received A scores and 24 B. C is the worst grade the Agriculture Department gives. If a restaurant scores below 70 it has to close until it is reinspected.

Greenville city sues developer of swanky McDaniel townhomes. The Swamp Rabbit Trail is one reason.

GREENVILLE — The McDaniel, the upscale townhome project in suspended animation that for a year has been under legal siege by an array of contractors, now has a new adversary: the city of Greenville. The city’s chief beef is its claim that the developer who promised luxury living unprecedented in Greenville has instead mismanaged the project to the point that plans for a new extension to the Swamp Rabbit Trail have been sullied. The city is not only demanding compensation but also financial punishment. In 2024, a year after it was announced, work abruptly stopped on the second phase of The McDa...

This Charming South Carolina Spot Is Part Café, Part Grocery Store—And Worth The Trip

When I opened the brown paper bag it smelled like popcorn. The freshly baked bread inside had a delicious aroma of oil, salt and just a hint of sweet. After taking a bite into the perfectly crisp crust and soft doughy middle, I understood why it was such a popular staple at the Swamp Rabbit Café & Grocery in Greenville, South Carolina. The success of this stecca bread, named after the Italian word for “stick”, is a story of serendipity. “We were just slow one day, and so I was like, ‘Oh, I’ll make my stecca bread,’” co-owner Mary Walsh told Southern Living. She gave some to one of their regulars, and he couldn’t stop raving about it. Now the company bakes stecca bread daily, often pumping out loafs until the early afternoon. Walsh said, “I think the freshness is what makes it extra special.”
