Since the Carolinas are the home of barbecue check out this roadside hole-in-the-wall. Try the classic mustard sauce or pair with vinegar for double the delight.

For when you don't want to leave the house but desire fast-food type fair without the chain mentality. Burgers and buffalo chicken tender plates are my favorites.

This is my favorite breakfast/brunch spot in downtown! It is well known and very popular on the weekend so get there early. They have a wide variety of "Cathead" biscuits with tons of specialty breakfast sides (bacon of the day anyone). Also, there is a JAM/BUTTER BAR. I love the gravy flight! Come with an appetite

Fun place off Brown Street to enjoy cover tunes and easily embarrass your friends. There have been a few times when it takes a few hours to get a real good vibe so maybe check this place out as a second or third stop on a full night out.

Arts & Culture
If you enjoy more risque or almost blackbox style productions this is the place for you. I've seen performances of Rocky Horror Picture Show, Caberet, Metamorphoses, etc. There are many theatres in Greenville but I would say this has a younger average audience as well as consistently high quality performances.

This is the prime theatrical venue in downtown. If your looking for the biggest names in performance or theatre this is the spot for you. Don't expect tickets to be cheap and its always best to purchase well in advance.
