The Top 22 Restaurants Near Camp Modern American Eatery

Rank 1. Scoundrel
French
Hardwood floors, brick walls, and a full bar make Scoundrel feel like the French bistro Greenville didn't know it needed. The chef's food is classic in frame but restless in execution, the kind of place where a Caesar salad shows up better than expected and a roasted chicken arrives with gnocchi Parisienne and mustard sauce just to make its point. It holds a Michelin star, and bar seats fill as fast as tables. Book ahead.

Rank 2. Jianna
Italian
Upstairs on Main Street, this downtown Italian restaurant fills up fast enough that the full-service bar exists partly as a pressure valve for the reservationless. The menu runs a clean Italian line from handmade pasta through to secondi, with the wine list holding its own alongside both. A James Beard semifinalist nod for beverage service in 2026 says something about where the priorities land.

Rank 3. Soby's
Southern
Pimiento fondue over fried green tomatoes is the kind of dish that makes you wonder why the rest of the country isn't doing this. Soby's is a downtown Greenville institution, a full-service Southern restaurant where the dining room buzzes on a Tuesday and the bar fills up fast enough that a reservation is a good idea. The wine list runs deeper than the room suggests, and the kitchen keeps its Southern cooking earnest and unfussy.

Rank 15. The Anchorage
New American
The front room doubles as a wine shop, and if a bottle catches your eye, the team will open it for you right there. That sets the tone for this snug New American dinner spot, where a short menu of nearly ten dishes pulls from local farms and lands on things like hand-rolled rigatoni or steak over Carolina Gold rice. The Michelin Guide has it selected. Bring someone who reads labels for fun.

Rank 18. Topsoil Restaurant
Contemporary New American
The name refers to the 16-acre farm supplying much of what lands on your plate, which is either a charming detail or a lot of pressure for some soil. This is a three-course New American restaurant just north of Greenville, with hardwood floors, wood-beam ceilings, and the relaxed, unhurried feeling of somewhere that doesn't need to hustle. The menu turns with the seasons, and the pastry side earned a James Beard semifinalist nod in 2024.
