We stopped here for a late lunch after a day on the trail and returning our bikes at Sundrift. Two of us got the club sandwich and it was so good! Never had one with a fried egg on it before and now I wish they all did that. Everyone at the table loved the sweet potato chips and the fries my daughter had were very good too. We sat outside and enjoyed the nice weather. read more

Shortfields - Club sandwich with sweet potato chips - American Near Me - Travelers Rest, South Carolina

Ate here twice while in TR. We had a light lunch and breakfast here. The pretzel bites are delicious. Breakfast was delicious. We had the avocado toast and TR breakfast. Both were delicious. The interior has ample seating and there is also outdoor seating. When we came for lunch service was quick. When we came for breakfast service was slower. read more

We were a little nervous walking into Shortfields for breakfast as there were literally no one else there at 8:30 for breakfast, but not long after we sat down they started filling up. This quiet relaxed restaurant served delicious home cooked breakfast. My TR Bowl had the most light fluffy hash browns with none of the usual grease. So good!! Great little find. Cam was friendly and very quick to help whenever a drink was low or a to go box was needed. Pleasure. read more

My daughter and I went for dinner on a Friday evening. We did get there fairly earl, 5 pm, and were seated very quickly. Our server was very nice and willing to accommodate all of our request for substitutions. We started with the fruit nachos. They were good, but we did feel a little misled as the only fruit was grapes. They also took quite a while to come out. We got our appetizer in the time I would have expected an entree. I ordered the French dip and a side salad and enjoyed both. My daughter got a burger and found it to be absolutely inedible. The waitress was very nice and had her entree removed from the bill. That is the reason they are getting 3 stars and not 2. read more

Enjoyed breakfast this morning for Easter. My friend had the big pancake breakfast and I had the waffle breakfast. Truly everything was delicious. I think the waffles might have been premade but besides that I have no complaints. The service was incredible and we got there early so it was quiet. read more

Our family of 4 ate here today and while we had high hopes for a good breakfast we all were very disappointed. Our server was nice but forgot multiple things and had no apologies. The hollandaise sauce was separated and gross, the hash browns were undercooked and we asked for cheese in the hash browns and it was a cold, folded up piece of American. While the prices are good it is still NOT worth going here. There were 4 adults in our group and no one enjoyed their meal. read more

Good food...consistently good! Their specials are always good. When they do their unusual soups, give them a try. I think you will be pleasantly surprised. The service is always good. The staff is friendly and accommodating. Unfortunately they had to remove their Lasagna Rolls, which were extremely good. (Lasagna Rolls might sound a bit strange, but they really were excellent.) The pasta dishes are flavorful as is everything on their menu. read more

There's a bar area and a more "restaurant" side that's separated by a probably 5 foot tall wall. There are some TVs in the bar but it's nothing special. The service was friendly but slow. Now on to the food. The salad was the most basic salad you can get. The dressing is just a Sams club dressing. The potato skins were undercooked. The cheese was nicely melted. Can we discuss the prices for just a second? A side of dried out mashed potatoes...$6.25. A baked potato...$6.25. Spoiler alert neither item cures cancer. The people i went with enjoyed their meals. The greens were pretty good! My mashed potatoes were DRY. My cordon blue was so overcooked it was like jerky. There was barely any sauce on it. Dont be fooled by the picture on the menu. Thats not what you're going to get. Also, the picture isn't the same potatoes. Its also shown with green beans and it comes with greens. Lol. $25/pp. was a robbery for this mediocre meal. Positive note...they do some great work in the community i was told. I love supporting businesses that do good in the community. I won't be supporting this one again until they give me the quality I'm paying for. read more

After a 5 mile hike in Paris mountain we decided to give Traveler' Rest another chance. Hungry and tired, we stepped into Shortfields. Ambiance casual and lively, fifteen minutes wait and we were in the booth. Menu looked well endowed and plentiful. We ordered brunch fare and a chicken salad. So, avocado toast was good but not enough; it could use some thing else on the plate. Breakfast potatoes were a little tired and could have been warmer. Veggie omelette was very tasty and hash browns not too shabby. The Salad was par excellence in both presentation and taste. The Philly style omelette also did not disappoint. Definitely worth another visit soon! read more

I come here ever so often and I would like to say this place is quite quaint. Always love the food here and the this is the only place I know where I can get a nice pretzel bite not a ball not a full pretzel just a nice little pretzel bite. The salads are fantastic and always fresh and I know everyone who works there works hard. Any food industry weather humans know it or not isn't an easy task having to deal with difficult customers and trying to keep business thriving with competitive restaurants but, they do it all and more. I definitely recommend this place if you're new to the area or even a local. read more

Great food at a great cost. Love going here the food is always delicious! Defiantly recommend eating here

Shortfields is always a good choice when want a simple dinner close to our home in TR. The food is always good and the employees are always so friendly. We even like to dine at the bar and talk to some of the locals. I normally try different things for dinner and my wife loves their trout and always orders that. read more

We ordered clam chowder, half of a turkey sandwich and a French dip. The turkey sandwich was fine. However the chowder and French dip were far from fine. The French dip had absolutely no flavor and the au jus tasted like greasy water. Unfortunately the chowder suffered from lack of flavor. Good or decent cooking is not a hard thing to do. I don't understand charging $18 for a sandwich with gray meat and no flavor. We will definitely not be returning. read more

We were in town for a couple of days and tried Shortfields for dinner. Enjoyed it so much we returned for breakfast a couple of days later. Both meals were delicious, salads were fresh, everything well prepared, and the service was great. The French toast was exceptional! Comfortable dining room, good prices, good food, good service. Recommended! read more

First time visiting Shortfields. We ordered the chili cheese tater tots, they were delicious!! And we both got burgers, they were very good also. The service was good too. We did notice that the tables weren't cleaned off and requested that they do. read more

Kid friendly! Coloring pages and crayons available! And they have changing tables available! Parent win right there lol What caught my was the white wings! Anything wrapped in bacon is a must order lol. And the travelers trio paired well with the tenders! Egg salad, chicken salad and tuna salad with cornbread! Perfect for someone who is indecisive like me! They have plenty of parking available in the back but side street is available as well. Fyi. It's right next door to a brewery so grab something to eat and they wash it down with a cold craft beer! read more

Service is always attentive and quick. The atmosphere is perfect for an everyday meal or to watch a sporting event, it can be loud and is casual dining. The wings are amazing. The food otherwise is average. read more

We sat on the patio and enjoyed it so much. The food and service was very good as well. We will eat here again on our next visit.

So much food!! We stumbled into this small town eatery after biking the entire Swamp Rabbit trail. We were HUNGRY! This place did not disappoint. Huge portions, reasonable prices, great service, hot coffee, and comfortable seating. I could not have been happier. I had the best Monte Cristo I have had in my entire life. Absolutely perfect and it was enough to put me in a diabetic coma but it was incredible! Thankfully we had the entire bike ride back to Greenville to work off the sugar but I was so glad we took a chance on this place. It has a very down home, family kind of vibe with tons of outdoor seating that I am sure is much more popular during the cooler months. It would be easy to have a family get together here or just catch up with friends. Hunger brought us in, and we were not disappointed. Try the Monte Cristo - your life will be changed. Bon voyage! read more

Just left Shortfields for the first time. I don't usually write reviews but I had to come brag about them! My husband and I went for lunch on a Wednesday. It was not busy and we did not have to wait at all. We ordered the spinach dip appetizer, I had the French dip with tater tots and my husband had the trout with mashed potatoes. Spinach dip was by far my favorite spinach dip I've ever had. The French dip was so juicy and had so much flavor and the horseradish sauce was delicious. My husbands trout was cooked very well and had lots of flavor. The mashed potatoes were so creamy and flavorful as well! We are definitely Shortfields fans now and can't wait to come again! read more

Usually good food with courteous service but this evening-not so much! Rueben sandwiches had corned beef full of gristle with hardly any sauerkraut or dressing. The waitress did not stay at the table long enough for me to tell her. She should have noticed all the meat left on my plate but chose to ignore. read more

You can't go wrong at this place!!! Everything they have is amazing! We stop there every time we are passing through the area, and sometimes we drive there just for kicks! read more

So glad I came! Great location in Travelers Rest. They have indoor and outdoor seating. The staff was very friendly and attentive. All the servers seemed to help each other out in terms of getting what people needed, which you don't see very often. But the fact that they all work together was nice to see. Everything on the menu sounded so good. I wish I could try a bite of everything. Haha. The sandwich/fries/ sandwich were outstanding. I can't wait to come back here again. Definitely check it out!! read more

I think my life changed over a club sandwich at Shortfields. Maybe not because of the club sandwich but literally, I think my life changed right over top of it. Its interesting how major life stuff happens over a meal. I think my personal Hallmark movie plot would go like this: Retired beach guy meets a girl from the mountains north of Traveler's Rest. She shows him the place where she grew up. There is a montage of art galleries, a brief 50 yard portion of the Rail to Trail, there is coffee. The soundtrack is up-tempo. They laugh. They talk and discover they have a real future over a club sandwich at Shortfields. Well, and fried pickles. Fried pickles just makes me laugh saying it out loud. Ours were hot, hot, hot. Not spicy, but we couldn't wait, we dove in and burned our mouthes. Worth it. Fried anything is the antidote when you're hungry. The sammie was excellent but way too much. I should pause sometime and count it all out but I think they use a whole loaf of bread in making it. Deli ham and turkey are food of the gods so there can never be too much of that. Clemson was playing and they were losing at halftime to Boston College. There was some localized anger at that sort of performance and the anger was well deserved as Clemson should have hung 70 on BC before halftime even without that long haired QB they have. As expected, Clemson roared out of the tunnel after half-time and took care of their business. Lots happens every day in people's lives. There are some amazing people around and they do amazing things and lives are changed, sometimes in an instant--maybe not over a club sandwich all the time--but why not? If not at Shortfields, then where? read more

I loved it beginning to end! The food was delicious and well presented. The service was top notch. My husband had the lasagna, which he loved, and I had the trout with asparagus, which was excellent. Mine also came with a nice side salad. This place is a little bit pricey, but not for what you get, and it is conveniently located in downtown TR on Main Street. I will definitely be back again for another date night! read more

Went there for the first time Sunday afternoon. (Travelers Rest location). Pricey menu. Not busy but extremely slow service. Long wait for food which was disappointing. Wedge salad was essentially iceberg lettuce. Reuben was burnt around edges and hardly any sauerkraut with dry corned beef. Had to ask for our check since we never got it while wait staff stood around chatting. Extra 3% to use card. Won't be returning. read more

WINGS & Salad only review. Boneless and regular wings are off the charts AMAZING. Salads are always fresh. Probably the best wings we have ate. The boneless are NOT heavily breaded - actually, I'm not sure they are breaded at all. We've tried multiple sauces or dry rubs and each are great - never too over the top seasoned (salty). We would give a 5 star review but ... the "white wings" are a bit dry and definitely bite size nuggets rather than the description which implies they are like chicken tenders/strip size. Hopefully, they will change the wording soon. Service can be slow but we always sit outside and enjoy the people watching. If you love wings, this is your place! read more

Don't stop. Keep driving. Just left after a Father's Day brunch. My wife said it was the worst meal ever. I agree as our breakfast was literally cold as if left out on the counter for 20 minutes. Eggs were overdone also. But again COLD. Cold eggs, cold hash browns, cold pancakes, cold French Toast. We live in TR and there is no decent full breakfast in town that we've found. And being Sunday EVERYTHING is closed, so we gave Sh..fields a shot. Never again. But their one saving grace: Bloody Mary was excellent! OTOH Waffle House NEVER has disappointed. read more

Service almost non-existent. Overall service level marginal. Very very slow with no payoff for the time. Food mediocre. No warmth to the environment. Not worth the effort. read more

Our waitress was great and very knowledgeable about the menu. We both ordered burgers that were delicious. The collards and the sweet potato chips were on point. The restaurant was clean and comfortable. The Mountain View margarita was well worth the trip to Shortfields. Try the banana pudding cheese cake- it was so good. You won't be disappointed! read more

They have the best jalapeño salsa burger with avocado. My only complaint is that they say avocado, but it's smashed like guacamole and I like fresh avocado slices better like they use to do it. read more

I was traveling through Travelers rest and is always consulted to help me find a good place for dinner. My waiter was Kianna, she was attentive without being pretentious or hovering. I started with a dragon berry Mojito. Serve tall with mint and a gentle Barry flavor it's not overpowering. The dinner salad that comes with the meal was a nice surprise of mixed greens, cheese, cherry tomato and cuke slices. Try the bacon dressing for something different. I had the Carolina mountain trout, seared nicely and topped with mushrooms, asparagus, pine nuts and micro- greens. It was drizzled with butter for even more flavor. Two good-size pieces, was enough for leftovers for $18. I was too full for dessert, but I'm sure they have something delicious. read more

Tried a spot in Travelers Rest and was quite pleased. My Wife, a good friend of our's, and myself decided on this place. Bri (pronounced "Bree") was our bartender/server. Very attentive but not overbearing. Made for great customer service. She kept the bar area clean and clutter-free. We ordered a pimento cheese and bacon burger, an order of the deviled eggs, and a reuben. The deviled eggs were quite tasty. A lot better than those at Golden, Brown, and Delicious. With the crabmeat on top, i was not upset about the price. The reuben is the best i have had in Greenville to date. Still a bit too soggy on the bread. I gotta find the spot that can make a reuben without the bread being sooo soggy. The pimento cheese and bacon burger was just like my Wife likes. Good job. Because a happy Wife is a happy life. With a full bar and bathrooms that were extremely clean, i believe i will be checking in here in the near future. Totally recommend this spot. read more

We have tried this place on several occasions and have never been impressed. After a couple of years we decided to try again. What a mistake. We ordered the pimento cheese appetizer and asked them to warm it as suggested by the bartender. When it came out they had put the chips and pita points on the plate while it was warming and the pita bread was not edible and the chips had a burnt taste to them. I had the club sandwich. The ham was so salty that I had to take it off of the sandwich. Once we got our bill and realized their draft beer was $5 we knew this was a never again place to go. Not only was the food bad but the beer prices are more than anywhere in downtown Greenville. Service was good but that would not bring me back here again. read more
