The Coziest Place For A Winter South Carolina Meal, Marina Variety Store, Is Comfort Food At Its Finest
When the temperatures dip below your comfort zone in the Palmetto State, it’s comforting to find a cozy restaurant with familiar tastes to stow away for a winter meal. In many locales, the ultimate destination may include a flickering fireplace and a nice steak or prime rib. But if you’re anywhere near the coast and there’s a chill in the air making it difficult to get outside to enjoy that salty breeze… there’s no place more comforting than a waterside restaurant with views that remind us of warmer days spent on, or better yet: in, the water.
We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life. While we continue to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, please take proper precautions or add them to your bucket list to see at a later date. If you know of a local business that could use some extra support during these times, please nominate them here: onlyinyourstate.com/nominate




There is a whole menu of Benedicts, for instance... all served with a bowl of grits or hashbrowns. The specials, omelets, wraps, and even breakfast seafood entrees (think crab cakes with your eggs, or shrimp and grits) are sure to please any seafood lover.

Choose from appetizers, soups, salads, burgers and steaks, chicken, pork chops, and of course, seafood! You can't go wrong with anything on the menu — and there's something here for everyone.

The stone ground grits are especially creamy and paired with fresh shrimp (and possibly an added order of fried green tomatoes), it's a meal to savor!

Everything is fresh and made with a southern flair. We definitely recommend the collard greens (always fresh!) and the mac and cheese.
