Most known for its delicious hamburgers, you'll also find chicken, seafood, steak, and more on the menu, plenty of options for everyone at your table to find something to enjoy. Try the cheesecake for dessert!

The burgers are made from real beef and are hand-patted and made to order on a griddle. If you choose to get everything on it, this includes lots of chili.

The fries and onion rings are also awesome, and you can get half one and half the other if you'd like to have both. You'll experience fast and friendly service as well, along with reasonable prices for your meal.
The second world-famous restaurant in Belton, South Carolina is Grits and Groceries, which has been featured on the Food Network, PBS Travels, the New York Times, and CNN.com.
