Word of mouth and positive reviews can go a long way for drumming up business for a restaurant, so much so that an eatery can experience a boom in popularity almost overnight with a good word and viral social media post. Whether the establishment has been a longtime staple of the community or is a relative newcomer to the restaurant scene, there are plenty of eateries that have achieved a level of regional, or even national, fame and praise that continue to entice customers to see what it's all about.
LoveFood compiled a list of the "most famous restaurant" in every state, basing its picks on reviews, awards and accolades, and first-hand experience to find the eateries that hungry diners are "just longing to enjoy a meal at" and that are worth visiting at least once.
So which South Carolina restaurant is considered to be the "most famous" in the entire state?
Husk
This popular Charleston eatery has drawn in a host of customers for over a decade and serves up incredible Southern dishes in a beautiful restored Victorian-era home. Husk, located at 76 Queen Street, has a 4.5 star rating on Google and more than 3,700 reviews.
Here's what the site had to say:
"No barbecue for South Carolina? Surprising, maybe, but not unexpected when it's also home to one of the most critically acclaimed restaurants in the Southeast. Charleston's multi award-winning Husk (which now has locations in Savannah and Nashville, Tennessee) has one guiding philosophy: if an ingredient isn't from the South, it's not coming in the kitchen. Expect dishes like slow-smoked pork ribs, crispy catfish, and fried cornbread panzanella on the frequently changing menu."
