An Old-Fashioned Restaurant In South Carolina You'll Want To Visit

Isn’t it cool to live in a state with such diverse geography? You can be at the beach and then within a few hours be in the mountains, all in the same day! And tucked away in our mountains is an old-fashioned restaurant in South Carolina called The Hungry Drover that you really should check out.

You’ll need to head to the delightful town of Traveler’s Rest, which was included recently in a list of best small towns by Southern Living, to visit this restaurant.

Old Fashioned Restaurant in South Carolina: The Hungry Drover — The restaurant is located at the intersection of Highway 290 and Tigerville Road, and it doesn't look like anything all that special necessarily from the outside. You may even drive right past it without giving it another thought.

It does have a cute sign with an illustration portraying its namesake. A drover is one who moves animals, usually sheep, cattle, and horses "on the hoof" over long distances.

Once you get inside, you'll find all the reasons you'll be glad you discovered this place. The atmosphere is cozy, relaxed, and friendly!

And you'll have plenty to choose from on the menu.

You can eat here for breakfast or lunch Tuesday through Thursday and breakfast, lunch, or dinner on Friday.

And the BBQ is some of the best around! It doesn't even need sauce, but the sauce is good if you do want to add it.

The sides are also tasty ... mac 'n cheese is a must with barbecue.

If you prefer something on the lighter side, there are several delicious salad options.

Be prepared for a standing-room-only situation if you go for the shrimp and grits on Friday evenings! Follow the restaurant's Facebook page (linked below at the end of the article) for announcements of upcoming specials and other updates.

And be sure to save some room for a homemade dessert treat!
