I'm in Greenville. The only places around here I know that serve vegetarian/vegan are Swad Indian Restaraunt on Laurens Road (awesome soup) and India Palace on Pleasantburg. I've heard Pita House on Pleasantburg also has some vegan stuff but I've never been.
I'm a new vegetarian (about a week) but my hubby has done it periodically-- with both of us doing it now I'll sure we can stick to it together.

There also used to be an Indian place on East North Street (across from Publix) that had some really good veg dishes. Don't know if they're still in business.
I grew up near Clemson and lived in Greenville for a couple of years. The Pita House is easily my favorite my restaurant -- well worth the trip! Also, Earth Fare has some pretty good vegan options in their cafeteria. They used to serve a cutlet in savory gravy that was to die for. I'd usually get the cutlet, new potatoes, and a salad there, then buy a second meal to go. Garner's cafeteria never excited me that much, but they sold incredibly good brownies and the best mock tuna salad (though it tasted nothing at all like tuna) I've ever had.Originally Posted by VeggieNetters

Yay, a Hilton Head question!
I'm not from there but have spent tons and tons of time in HH as my grandparents have always had a house there.
Definitely check out FIESTA FRESH if you like Mexican - there are a few different locations on the island. They have the most amazing food and they have a vegetarian section on their menu and they're so nice and really happy to modify if you don't want cheese or something else.
Mellow Mushroom is also great - their tofu hoagies are amazing, oh my God.
A Taste of Thailand is incredible - try the vegetarian Pad Thai.
It's Greek To Me also has some great stuff.
These are my favorites, but honestly - there are over two hundred restaurants on the island and almost all of them will have something you can eat. And not just pasta with steamed veggies, like many places. You can get real food. Every time I go there I spend almost all of my money going out to eat. You shouldn't have any problems.
Have fun! Hilton Head is great!!
>>>i'm going to Hilton Head in September. i am hoping to find some vegan restaurants or even restaurants that offer vegan options.
anyone from that area?<<<

I went to a couple flea markets in columbia two weeks ago. I found a link that shows where lots of big fleamarkets are and the pricings of booths, etc http://www.fleamarketguide.com/sc.htm
I also found a site that lists a few cities that have vegetarian and vegan friendly restaurants. It also has some health food stores listed. http://www.vegetarian-restaurants.ne...rolinaReal.htm
Also found a list of animal shelters in various cities and counties. Thought that would be helpful, too. http://www.netpets.com/cats/catresc/scarolina.html

They had the best Tofu "Egg" Salad!
I shop at Earth Fare all the time but have never tried their caf. I'll have to check it out next time! Since Whole Foods opened last week, I'm not sure how often I'll go to Earth Fare since it is farther away from my house and I am SOOOOO in love with Whole Foods.Originally Posted by MorningCalm

I thought I'd bump this thread and let everyone know I'm from SC. I'm actually from columbia and have been here all my life. I'm 21 by the way. Anyhow, I've been vegetarian for 3 months or so. Downtown area has lots of places to eat, so if you would like to ask any questions, feel free.

Nice to see more peoples have showed up! I'm 26 and in Greenville. I have found most of the Mexican places around here have a vegetarian section.... Guadalajara comes to mind.. there's one in Mauldin and on Haywood road... I think there are more. They have awesome veg fajitas!
Woahhhh dancing broccoli! I LOVE broccoli! Especially when it dances! Why can't it dance on my plate?!?!?!?
