Topsoil Kitchen & Market

Good food comes from Topsoil!

Topsoil Restaurant in Travelers Rest is a farm to table restaurant in South Carolina led by Chef Adam Cooke, 2020 James Beard semifinalist for Best Chef Southeast and SCRLA Best Restaurant Chef 2022. Their goal is to provide you with a memorable meal every time you walk through our doors!

The mission at Topsoil Restaurant is to connect guests with food grown in the community in a more meaningful way. Their classroom is a 16-acre farm, and their mentors are a handful of passionate neighboring farmers. This endeavor, has given the Topsoil team a valuable perspective and respect for the hard work that small farms do daily to put food on our tables.

Topsoil is located in the historic Williams Hardware building in downtown Travelers Rest nestled between Main Street and the Swamp Rabbit Trail. When you join them for dinner, weekend brunch, a craft cocktail at the bar, a wine tasting, a monthly plant based supper club, a private event or our Sunday Chef's tasting menu you will get to taste the difference local makes! In fact, there's a good chance you will travel farther to get here than your food did.

Topsoil Restaurant is something much more than a restaurant, it is a love letter to long growing seasons here in South Carolina and hard-working small farmers.
