Abstract:
The countless local restaurants and drive-ins are one of the landmarks in our memory of the community. Kammerer takes us all the way back to the 1930s mentioning such places as Club Pitt, Busy Bee Café, Carolina Grill, Silver Café, Dixie Gray Café, Red Gables Café and Smitty’s Place. North of the river there were places named Chicken & Dukes, Respass Barbecue, Darwin Waters and Bradys Double Inn. In the 1940s and 50s, there was the New Greenville Café, Kares Restaurant, Mary Ann Soda Shop, Dixie Grill, Victory Grill and the Olde Towne Inn. In the 1960s there were such places as Riggs House, Cinderella Restaurant, Ivory Castle Drive-In, El-Patio Drive-In, Sidney’s Drive-in, The Silo Restaurant, The Candlewick Inn, Venters Grill, The Space House Restaurant, and Dora’s Tower Grill.
