10Best Says

Chicora (accent on the second syllable) is the success story of two Greenville brothers, Ben and Adam Dixon. Their restaurant and bar has gained lots of attention since its opening, and dining and drinking coexist happily in this second-floor space. Along the back wall sits the bar, constantly populated by regulars and animated groups, quaffing longnecks and draft PBRs. Brunch is served on Sundays from 11 am until they run out of food. And it doesn't last long with items like huevos rancheros and Southern fried crab Benedict up for grabs. If you're a lover of Mimosas, you can order them by the pitcher for a bottomless effect.
