The Best Meal In Greenville ?!? | Larkin’s On The River

When someone asks where to get the best steak in Greenville, Larkin’s on the River is consistently at the top of the list. Sitting on the edge of the Reedy River, Larkin’s is the ideal spot for relaxing, dining on high-quality food, and simply enjoying others’ company. Larkin’s specializes in the quality, cut, and decadence of their steaks. From Filet Mignon and Ribeyes to their reserved DeBRAGGA Wagyu New York Strip, you can count on perfection. While their steaks are monumental, I was impressed by the full experience from start to finish.

Larkin’s menu offers a wide-variety of items without causing a migraine deciding what to order! Each of their starters is southern at heart with an elegant twist. I highly recommend the Calamari Steak, not your typical fried, chewy calamari. Tender chunks of herb-crusted calamari are served alongside sautéed spinach and drizzled with a rich and flavorful mustard beurre blanc: simple, delicious, and satisfying.
Larkin’s is famous for their She Crab Soup. Naturally, when I saw a special that featured a crab cake and fried green tomato stack with the She Crab Soup poured over the top, I couldn’t resist! For a taste of the best that southern food has to offer, this is the starter for you.
Larkin’s takes the classic spinach salad to a whole new level with their Spinach, Arugula, and Goat Cheese salad. The spinach and arugula is dressed with a bacon, tomato, and balsamic vinaigrette and then topped with a generous serving of warm peppered goat cheese. Be sure to take a bite that incorporates each and every component of this dish, including the spiced pecans!
Now for the star of the show…The Larkin’s Signature Bone-In Filet Mignon is simply out of this world. I almost didn’t want to cut into this beautiful cut of meat due to the sheer beauty of this dish. As if the steak isn’t rich enough, they serve it atop creamy smoked Gouda mashed potatoes. The meat cut like butter and had a flavorful, earthy crust that complemented the potatoes perfectly. If you want to truly eat like a king or queen, this is the dish for you.
To finish off a meal like this, dessert is a must. Their Bourbon Bread Pudding was highly recommended, but overshadowed by their Chocolate Lava Cake, also a customer favorite. This is no Applebee’s lava cake my friends! A Larkin’s tradition, this sinful treat has an authentic, rich chocolate flavor and is served with homemade vanilla ice cream and fresh berries.
Larkin’s on the River is to the restaurant scene as a great pair of jeans are to the fashion scene; they will simply never go out of style. Whether you have company in town to impress, or want to unwind with friends, Larkin’s is waiting by the river!

Do you remember going to a Greenville Braves game at the Greenville Municipal Stadium? I know I do, they were such a major staple here in the city before we were the “booming metropolis” in the state. So many nights at the park with my glove, Greenville Braves hat, and a bunch of those ice creams in the upside down helmet (you know what I’m talking about). The team had their highs and lows throughout the years, with arguably their best season coming in 1992. A few of the guys on this list help guide them into the history books in becoming the Southern League’s first 100-game winner. So without further ado, here are some of the biggest names in baseball (in no particular order) to come through # yeahTHATgreenville !

Some of us remember the days before “#yeahThatGreenville,” the days when we were just little ole’ Greenville, SC. Entertainment was simple back then, anyone between the ages of 5 and 65 spent Friday nights right off of Mauldin Road at Greenville Memorial Stadium. Mauldin was home to our AA Greenville Braves, or “G-Braves” if you were local. Greats like Chipper Jones & Tom Glavine to the “shy & humble” closer from Georgia, John Rocker, those games were star-studded. Looking back on how many G-Braves actually made it to the “Bigs,” makes me even more proud of Greenville, SC. So if you are new(ish) to Greenville and want to be able to wear the Old Greenville Braves hat with confidence, here are 7 facts that should catch you up.

Have you caught on to the virtual gaming craze , Pokemon Go, that has revived a beloved 1990s Nintendo game and nearly knocked Twitter off its pedestal? The former kids’ gaming sensation was launched by Niantic as a mobile app for adults last week in the U.S., Australia and New Zealand. Greenville Reddit users have provided an assist for those residents wanting to scour every corner of town for “Pokemon Go” points by compiling a user-friendly Google map of about 150 Pokestops at gyms, offices and businesses across the city. If you are into Pokemon Go in Greenville make sure to head downtown, where there is an influx of pokemon, pokestops, and pokegyms. Check out the crowdsourced map below for dozens of specific locations. If you have another spot, feel free to add it to the map.
