Top 10 Local-Only Restaurants You Should Try – #3

The Name: Tiger Town Tavern

The Place: Clemson – 368 College Avenue

The Food: Burgers and more – every entree on the menu is named after something related to Clemson sports

The Price: $7-$12

The Good: Really good food, outdoor seating available, Two HD projectors, separate game room and restaurant areas, trivia night on Wednesdays, did I mention TWO HD projectors?!

The Bad: It’s a pub, so the bar atmosphere sets in after 8 pm or so

I suggest… “Chris Patton” – The bacon swiss burger (a perfectly prepared and cooked burger, thick strips of bacon and tons of swiss cheese melted over the bacon)…and don’t forget to order the Cajun Cheese Fries!

The Place: Anderson – 150 West Beltline Blvd

The Food: Beef in many tasty forms, plus a few other things

The Price: $12-$25

The Good: Beer-battered fries! Rustic environment

The Bad: The whole peanut-shells-on-the-floor thing (if that bothers you)

I suggest… NY Strip with fries

Top 10 Local-Only Restaurants You Should Try – #5

The Name: Main Street Deli & Coffeehouse

The Place: Central – 133 W. Main Street

The Food: Quality sandwiches, soups and more

The Price: $7.50-$10 for a sandwich and drink

The Good: Great cuts on the best bread, nice atmosphere, some local foods/drinks, free wi-fi

The Bad: Can get expensive when adding things like a smooth cup of joe or delectable dessert from The Cheesecake Factory (should that be in “The Good” category?)

I suggest… Hot Ham & Swiss – heaven on a croissant and dipped in honey mustard
