4. Fuel - 211 Rutledge Ave, Charleston, SC

For the absolute BEST fish and chips on this side of "the pond" there's none other than the CODfather in North Charleston. Just look at that hand-breaded swimmer. Yum.

8. Sugar n Spice - 212 S Pine St, Spartanburg, SC

Sugar-n-Spice has been around long enough to have served three generations of your family when they were children. It's a landmark in Spartanburg at this point. You'll love the great American fare lovingly served here by a patient and friendly staff.
