This Rustic Mountain Restaurant In South Carolina Is Worth The Trip From Any Corner Of The State

Foodie road trips come in a variety of delicious adventures. But one thing they all have in common is the thrill of exploring new places as well as new restaurants. Mountain House Restaurant near Cleveland has all the makings of a fun experience that includes a winding trek up a scenic mountain, flavorful lunch choices, and a visit to a state park (only steps from the restaurant) with sweeping mountain views of the Blue Ridge Escarpment.

Mountain House at Caesars Head rests at the top of a mountain that peaks at just over 3,200 feet.

On a hot day, it may be difficult to pass up a double-scoop cone after your meal.
Enjoy the lovely view from the bright and airy seating area facing the long-range view out back.

It affords a perfect view of the Blue Ridge Escarpment (the edge of the mountain chain) and the surrounding mountains and valleys beyond.

On a clear day, you can see all the way to Table Rock and beyond. This is probably the perfect spot to enjoy the view AND that homemade fudge you just bought at Mountain House Restaurant.
