Woodruff Road is where much of the Upstate does its shopping, and for a lot of Greenville, Saffron has long been the reward at the end of the errands. It sits in the WoodRuff Gallery plaza, and a remodel a few years back left the dining room more polished and modern than the strip-plaza address might suggest. It fills up on weekend evenings, so it helps to come a little early or plan for a short wait when the room is busy. The menu covers the full spread of Indian cooking most people come in hoping for: curries and biryani, tandoori and tikka masala, samosas, and fresh naan straight from the tandoor. There is enough vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free cooking that many diners come specifically for the meatless side of the menu. Spice is set to your preference, and the staff will walk you through their scale if you are not sure where you land. Butter chicken and garlic naan are the two dishes reviewers mention most, the naan buttery and blistered at the edges, while vegetarian diners are just as likely to talk up the vegetable korma, paneer dishes, and chana masala.

Great Wall has been a fixture on Wade Hampton in Taylors for years, the family-run kitchen a lot of people on this side of town name first for Chinese food at home. Plenty of households have made it their steady go-to, ordering the same favorites long enough to know the menu by heart. The setup is takeout-first: a casual counter with a few booths, built for calling ahead, grabbing a bag, and eating at your own table. What brings people back is the food and how much of it there is. Portions run generous enough to stretch into a second meal, prices sit at the easy end, and the menu covers the familiar Chinese-American range, from General Tso's and sesame chicken to lo mein, pork fried rice, and egg rolls that reviewers keep singling out. A couple of things set it apart. The kitchen will make General Tso's and other dishes with white meat for a small upcharge, which not every spot nearby bothers with, and people who go for the sesame chicken often ask for an extra side of the sauce to dip. Order takeout here enough times and you will settle on your own usual, the way most folks along Wade Hampton already have.

Eggs Up Grill keeps breakfast-and-lunch hours, open early and closed by mid-afternoon, so it lands as a morning and midday spot rather than a dinner destination. Breakfast runs the whole time the doors are open, sitting on the menu next to burgers and sandwiches, which gives a table of people with different cravings somewhere everyone can settle on. This is the Simpsonville location, out on North Main, and the room stays casual and unfussy, an easy call for a quick weekday breakfast or a sit-down lunch.

Joe's Ice Cream Parlor is an ice cream and dessert spot on East Main Street in Easley, in the western Upstate. Scoops are the draw, but it runs as more than a cone window: it also works as a dessert shop and confectionery with an American-style food side, so there's more on offer than a single sweet stop. It's a well-liked stop in Easley, open Monday through Saturday from late morning into the evening and closed on Sundays.

The shaved ice here starts with fresh cane sugar and is made by hand, and the flavor people keep coming back for is the sno cream, a house-made creamy version reviewers single out again and again. It is a small walk-up window in Edwards Forest Plaza on Wade Hampton, an old-school stand with a few umbrellas out front to sit under while your cone melts. Cash only, and open just for the warm stretch of the year, roughly April into late August. Past the sno cream there are more than sixty flavors to work through, all made in house, from cotton candy and blue raspberry to cherry cola and mango, priced low enough that a whole carful of kids will not dent your wallet. It has been a Taylors fixture since 1987 and has stayed family-run the whole way, which is why you will spot grandparents, parents, and kids standing in the same line. That is what makes it a summer-evening ritual for so many Upstate families: bring the kids, cool off from the heat, and spend almost nothing doing it.

Napolitana gives Greer an ice cream parlor of its own, a small dessert stop on Middleton Way with a strong local reputation for its size. It is a Greer spot through and through, worth knowing if you are on that side of the Upstate and in the mood for a cone.

Lovey's is a neighborhood ice cream and dessert stop on North Pleasantburg Drive, north of downtown Greenville rather than in the walkable center. It has built up a steady local following on that side of town.

Creme Shack keeps it casual: a no-fuss ice cream and dessert stop in the thick of downtown Greenville, easygoing in the way the "shack" in the name suggests. It has become one of the go-to spots for dessert on North Main, the kind of place a night out downtown tends to end.
