Favorite SC restaurants
I'm back traveling in SC a lot on business and would love to know some favorite places to eat. There are plenty of suggestions for Charleston on this board so would like ideas for other places in SC. All types, including meat & threes and BBQ for solo dining and good places to entertain customers. Thanks in advance for suggestions.

Thanks again Guy. I googled to find info on Jestine's and it looks great. The link also introduced me to HollyEats.com, which has great ideas in SC - and elsewhere. The suggestions for GA are good ones, so I'm going to try their SC suggestions too.
Would love to here from Fodorites, too.
There was a Las Vegas suggestion that I'm going to share on the other thread.

OK, here goes.
Greenville:
Pita House- casual mediteranean
Island Blend - casual jerk
Sushi Koji and Tsunami - sushi
Pho Noodleville
Lemongrass
Coffee Underground - coffee, drinks, dessert
Chicora Alley - mexicanish
33 Liberty - fine dining
Devereaux's - fine dining (bring your expense account)
Sprouts - just a workday salad
Spartanburg:
Wades - GREAT meat and three. Get the yeast rolls and the fried chicken.
Beacon - only if you have a strong stomach that can handle a lot of grease...delicious grease, mind you.
Landrum - Stone Soup
Traveler's Rest - Thaicoon

In the Florence area we have two very good, fine dining restaurants,
Victor's on S. Irby St.
http://www.victorsbistro.com/index.shtml
and Carmen's Restaurant, also on S.Irby St. Both are top notch with good menus and wine lists.
For more casual dining we like Las Palmas Family Mexican Restaurant. I truly believe it is the best Mexican restaurant in SC. Rt 76, just off the I95 interstate. Judy, the owner, makes unique and innovative dishes. Take the Timmonsville exit, but head toward Florence, not Timmonsville.

The ultimate in casual seafood dining has to be "The Wreck of the Richard and Charlene" in Charleston. It took us forever to find the restaurant.
Food was ok, prices were moderate, but the atmosphere was great.
I have pictures on my webpage (about halfway down):

Starrsville,
there's so much here on Myrtle Beach, I won't bother with that.
But nearby . . .
In Conway, River Town Bistro is excellent (would be very nice for client dinners, lunch on your own would be good too). Sidewheeler is also very good.
In Georgetown, the Rice Paddy is great (again, good for clients).
In Hilton Head, we loved Red Fish.

Thanks, beach_dweller. I drove past Red Fish a few days ago. I'm glad to know its good and I'll stop next time I'm in HH. Of course, I discovered a Bonefish Grill there too - and may have to indulge even those others have pointed out its part of a chain.
I DID eat at Kenny B's and the Greek restaurant. Enjoyed both for casual solo dining.
