Palmettos Smoke House and Oyster Bar, Anderson

Using local ingredients whenever possible, the chefs at Palmetto's Smokehouse and Oyster Bar smoke prime meats with flavorful rubs, carefully shuck oysters for fire grilling, and prepare other specialty dishes such as creole jambalaya, shrimp five ways, and fried green tomatoes. Customers can order oysters prepared four ways—raw, steamed, grilled, or fried—and dive into smoked meats such as brisket and pulled pork. As they eat with eco-friendly tableware and sip on sweet tea or wine, diners can admire digital artwork by local photographers.
