This Upstate South Carolina Diner Is Known For One Standout Dish That Keeps Locals Coming Back

The biscuits at this little counter-service diner are made from scratch. They’re also big enough to make a grown adult rethink the word snack. That alone would earn a spot on my list. Then I learned the same kitchen turns out cheeseburger plates, hamburger steak, and blended soft serve treats called cyclones.

Handwashing, food temperature issues cited at Anderson County restaurants

Four Anderson County food establishments fell below the "78" score threshold for a "C" rating in October 2026 restaurant inspection reports, according to the South Carolina Department of Agriculture. Inspectors conducted routine inspections throughout the month and ordered follow-up inspections within 10 days for facilities that received failing scores. In our coverage of food inspections around Anderson County, we categorize violations into two types: priority and priority foundation. Priority violations are those that pose the highest risk of causing foodborne illness and identify contributing factors that could lead to illness. A priority foundation violation is a contributing factor to illness.

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.”

The new location is 64 Beacon Drive, next door to California Dreaming, in an area rife with restaurants along Interstate 85. The restaurant was started by Frances “Chicken” Lea, her husband Hurdle Lea and Mike Shuler. The Leas were well-known Greenville entrepreneurs.
