DINING
Rutherfordton and the rest of the Tri-City Area (includes Spindale and Forest
City have all the usual fast food venues and chain restaurants like Fatz, Chili's,
etc. Forget about that and check out Main Street in Rutherfordton, where you
will find Legal Grounds, which is a coffeehouse, pizzaria, restaurant and bar
with live entertainment on the weekends. Downtown Rutherfordton also has
Anna Rose, Gregory's, Doc's Homemade Ice Cream, and Mi Pueblito. Scoggins
Seafood & Steakhouse just outside of town has been a county institution for 50
years. If you feel like a big splurge and a fabulous meal, ask us how to get to
the Water Oak, just outside of Rutherfordton.
Spindale has M2 which serves organic fine foods and has a great live band
most weekends, Barley's Taproom and Pizzaria, and the Broad River Coffee
Company inside Spindale Drugstore.
Forest City has great Thai food at Bangkok Delight on Main Street.
