South Carolina keeps its best burger secrets tucked between backroads and beach towns, where grills sizzle with hand-pattied creations and locals guard their favorite spots like state treasures.
I’ve spent years chasing down smoky char, melty cheese, and that perfect bun-to-beef ratio across the Palmetto State, and trust me, these joints deliver flavors that’ll make you forget chain restaurants exist.
