Devour An Old Fashioned Burger At Broad Street Lunch, The Oldest Diner In South Carolina’s Oldest Inland City

Nostalgia rings loud and true at the oldest diner in Camden. Open since 1931, Broad Street Lunch - or the BSL, as the locals call it - is quite likely also the oldest diner in the state. And while the restaurant has changed a bit over the decades, the menu is still anchored by their famous Old Fashioned Hamburger served between two slices of bread.

If you've never eaten a burger between toasted slices of bread, then just wait.

You're in for a pleasant surprise! The bread is grilled to perfection, as are the burgers and each one is piled with your choice of toppings.

The Old Fashioned Burger is a mainstay and beloved by the entire community. In fact, in the nearly 90 years since the BSL opened, generations of kids have grown up anticipating that first bite on each and every visit to the diner.

Who would have thought a burger wedged between two grilled slices of bread would be so delicious? Pair it with crinkle cut fries for the ultimate lunch. But the BSL is open for more than just lunch, even though it's called Broad Street LUNCH.

The diner is open six days a week serving breakfast and lunch. Prepare your taste buds and your senses for a step back in time at this tiny eatery in the heart of South Carolina's oldest inland city.

Broad Street Lunch may be tiny (it's only 768 square feet!), but the flavors are huge. Check it out for yourself!

Since 1931, Broad Street Lunch has been serving the best burgers in Camden - and they come wedged between two griddle-fried slices of bread.

The hours for Broad Street Lunch are Tuesday through Saturday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday 10:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. (closed on Monday). You can learn more on the BSL Facebook page.
