The building looks a little unusual on the outside for a coffee place but don't let this fool you because inside you will find a very cozy, super clean stylish and modern business with different seating options, the two girls that worked today were very professional and friendly and did a great job with the coffee and the cappuccino and the crepes we ordered. Everything was delicious and very reasonably priced. They already had the Christmas decoration out and did a fantastic job with it. The restrooms were super clean too. I would've taken pictures if I would've imagined they are not on Yelp yet. Pictures can also be found on similar websites on the Internet.

A great display of baked pastries to look over while I waited in the short queue before ordering my latte in a "here" cup. It did not take more than a couple of minutes before it was called out and I picked it up. Simply delicious and creamy and a real delight. There's nothing wrong with sitting here for a bit and I did so, checking on my route to the next stop on the speedy wifi and enjoying my excellent coffee. Five stars for Openroad. Awesomeness.

Definitely bypass abuc-ees and come here for some home-spun goodness!

Both were tasty and hit the spot. The chicken salad sandwich was the standout for us--simple, fresh, and really satisfying. The frittata had great flavor, but it was a little on the dry side, so I'd probably pair it with something extra next time or try another option. All in all, a solid place to grab a bite in Saluda, and we'd happily come back--especially for that chicken salad sandwich.

They serve bagels, custom make your own sandwiches that are made with Boars Head meat, and they have an array of side salad options to go with it. There is a small seating area inside and a few tables out front. I had an Italian hoagie with lettuce, jalapeños, tomatoes, and roasted red peppers. The sandwich usually has balsamic vinaigrette, but I opted for mayo. My sandwich was super tasty, and the macaroni salad was very good too. I am pretty picky about that so I was very impressed. My husband had turkey and jalapeño jack cheese on a toasted everything bagel with his choice of toppings. He also enjoyed his very much. I would definitely recommend this cute, local spot.

This was my first trip to South Carolina and the first stop was Southern Manners - it did not disappoint! We had a huge group of ladies to celebrate our bride and the staff were all fabulous - big shout out to our cashier/server, Jaden! He was amazing and so accommodating with our 19 top. The ordering was as smooth as it could be and Jaden made sure to go around asking any questions he had about the orders. The food came out relatively quick considering how many people we had and I really appreciate the staff. The pricing was very reasonable and i would recommend if you're looking for a real home-y feeling restaurant with good food! In regards to ordering, we had special accommodations because we were a big group, but normal flow has customers ordering and paying when they walk in the door and then the food is brought to your table. It has a fast food vibe, but I didn't mind it! The line moved pretty quick while we were there. Can't wait to go back!
