Chicora Alley-Travelers Rest
About us
Our Passion For Southern Food & Live Music
Chicora Alley, nestled in the heart of Greenville, South Carolina, and its sibling in Travelers Rest, is not just a restaurant, it's a local legend. This culinary gem has been spicing up the Greenville dining scene for over two decades, a remarkable feat considering the rapid evolution of the city's West End. The story of Chicora Alley is one steeped in family, tradition, and an adventurous spirit, crafted by brothers Ben and Bert Dixon.
Imagine a place where the warmth of Southern hospitality meets the zest of the Caribbean and the bold flavors of the Southwest. That's the essence of Chicora Alley. Born from a blend of family recipes, travel experiences, and a pinch of entrepreneurial magic, the restaurant offers a menu that's as eclectic as its history. Signature dishes like shrimp and grits, Mom's Cream Cheese Enchiladas, Mile High Nachos, and jerk plates are not just meals; they are a mosaic of the Dixon family's journey.
This journey began two decades ago when the Dixons envisioned a space that reflected their travels and upbringing. They saw potential in Greenville's then-undiscovered West End, a decision that many thought was a leap of faith. But just like the towns out west and the sun-soaked streets of California, they believed Greenville could embody that mountain town resort vibe. And oh, how right they were!
Fast forward to today, Chicora Alley is more than a restaurant; it's a part of Greenville's soul. It's where memories are made, from baby showers to wedding receptions. It's a place where the next generation of customers is being nurtured, one party at a time. And with plans to expand their culinary delights with Bert's Bangin Beef Jerky, the Dixons continue to innovate and delight.
In a nutshell, Chicora Alley isn't just a stop on your culinary journey; it's a destination where every bite tells a story of passion, tradition, and a little bit of Southern flair mixed with international zest. It's a testament to the Dixon's vision and Greenville's ever-growing charm
