Where to eat in the Old96SC area

Obviously visiting a new place means scouting a few new eateries and trying new dishes. Here are a couple of restaurants I tried on my trip. Don’t expect any international culinary extravaganzas but count on good old small town charm.

Starbucks, Greenwood – This will be your one location in the area and a fairly nice one too so mark it for reference.

Kickers - Interesting, mainly because it is owned by Abdel Dimity who came to the US on a scholarship and has stayed on now to run this restaurant. They have some regular fare but also things like Moroccan turkey burgers! The place was pretty packed for a weekday lunch, I hear they are expanding their location soon.

Nattys – Cozy crepe place/bar close to the square. Nice staff. Good options for dinner.

Edgefield Grille – On the square. Regular American fare. Popular with the locals, they had a good crowd lunchtime on a work day, and everyone seemed to know everyone!

Abbeville Grille – Dined alone on my last night out. Good service and food. Wait staff were terribly concerned I was alone and kept checking on me often. Sweet. Good dinner and drink specials.

Main Street Coffee Company – The one coffee shop there and it was spacious, nicely decorated, and even had their holiday specials on – I tried the fall warm apple caramel cider and it was lovely. Enjoyed the atmosphere and would have considered a good spot for working out of if I was staying longer.
