South Carolina is home to many delicious eateries and restaurants. In that spirit, let's get into the best South Carolina under-the-radar restaurant to try. Maybe you're someone who sticks to the favorites. I certainly have my favorite spots that I frequent more often than others. But, sometimes it's nice to find a restaurant that's a bit off the beaten path. It's nice to find something new that perhaps other people haven't discovered yet.

Visittheusa.com has put together a list of the best South Carolina restaurants that are off the beaten path. These are spots that are pretty under the radar, but maybe they won't be for long. "Sometimes the most memorable meals are served in places tucked away – places that locals know and love, that visitors can discover on a scenic drive," they said. "South Carolinians can rattle off a hearty list of restaurants matching this description."

Best South Carolina Under-the-Radar Restaurants

Before we get to No. 1 on the list, let's look at some of the other spots that Visittheusa.com deems the best in the state. No. 5 is a spot that so many people love: Peaches Corner, which is located near the boardwalk in Myrtle Beach. This spot has delicious hot dogs and burgers with tons of toppings, and they actually got their start back in 1937, according to the publication. Another popular spot for hot dogs that made the cut is Harold's Restaurant at No. 6. Harold's Restaurant has been around since 1932 and offers chili burgers and downtown Gaffney. Visittheusa.com suggests to, "order yours all the way with mustard, chili and onions." Because why not go all out? When it comes to steak, The Mill Pond Steakhouse made the tally at No. 10 on the list. The special spot in Rembert "serves high-quality steaks, aged and cooked to perfection." The outlet also suggests to try their shrimp and grits. All of those spots are detectible, and I'm happy to see them make the cut. Overall, their list features a range of different kinds of food places, from steakhouses to seafood restaurants to hot dog stands.

Now let's get to the best of the best. What's the No. 1 best South Carolina under-the-radar restaurant to try? Their pick is SeeWee Restaurant in Awendaw, which has fantastic golden-fried catfish and hush puppies. "Daily specials showcase South Carolina signatures such as Lowcountry boil, a one-pot wonder of shrimp, corn and potatoes and homemade desserts," Visittheusa.com states about this best South Carolina under-the-radar spot. Congrats to SeeWee for the honor.
