When you’re ready to chow down in Walhalla, you’ll have an array of tasty choices to satisfy your hunger, whether you’re in the mood for comfort food or more sophisticated fare.

And if it’s coffee, beer, wine or dessert that you seek, you’ll find some great options right in town.

Here are a few possibilities to explore during your visit:

It's all about the fried chicken at Walhalla Steak House.

Walhalla Steak House
316 E Main Street
(864) 638-3311

This famous fried chicken hotspot with the misleading name (no steak here!) serves homecooking cafeteria-style: fried pork chops, hamburger steak with onion and cheese, flounder, spaghetti and lots of sides like crowder beans, turnip greens and fried okra.

Mountain Mocha
314 E Main Strett
(864) 638-9357

A locally owned coffee house and sweets shop, Mountain Mocha offers fresh-roasted, pour-over coffee, espresso drinks, baked goods, ice cream, soups and sandwiches. 

Sweet treats and savory things to eat make ShugaBears a standout.

ShugaBears
104 W Main Street
(864) 482-8861

Sweet treats and savory eats abound at ShugaBears, a locals' favorite for cakes, pies, cookies, donuts, pizza, wings, burgers and more.

The Garage on Main
400 W Main Street
(864) 986-4714

Pub grub reigns supreme at this family-owned restaurant with two-fisted burgers, sandwiches and other American comfort fare. Live entertainment and karaoke nights make this a fun gathering spot.

Stumphaus Taproom
200 East Main Street
(864) 916-0602

More than a beer joint and lively gathering place, Stumphaus Taproom serves an array of tapas, rib-sticking apps, entree-worthy salads and savory, well-crafted sandwiches with smoked brisket, chicken and more. 

Steph's Steaks
115B E Main Street
(864) 638-6226

Beefy sandwiches star on the menu at Steph's. Cheesesteaks in various iterations are applause-worthy along with a host of impressive co-stars like the pastrami reuben, fried green tomato BLT and buffalo chicken philly. 

A daily rotation of empanadas and creative coffee drinks are menu superstars at Alexander's.

Alexander's Coffee House & Cafe
124 E Main Street
(864) 718-5372

Alexander's evolved from a dedicated office supply store to a purveyor of freshly made hand-helds, snacky bites, breakfast sandwiches and amazing array of coffee drinks. The Cuban sandwiches, empanadas and treats like a spinach and feta pretzel tempt adventurous tastebuds. Cupcakes, muffins, cookies and more make a fine finish. Fun fact: The office supply arm still operates at 118 E Main.

Carolina Pizza Company
124-D E Main Street
(864) 916-0692

Carolina Pizza is where locals get their pizza fix. The menu has all you'd expect from a small-town pie shop: calzones, sandwiches and salads, all freshly made and served in cozy digs.
