Sometimes the best foods in South Carolina like mom used to make are found in the most unexpected places. Case in point: the following truck stop located just off Interstate 20 just west of Columbia. The food here rivals almost anything mom used to make, and once you see it, you may find yourself wondering when you can have some for yourself…

If there’s one thing on the menu you can’t pass up, it’s the crispy fried chicken. Pair it with gravy and your favorite sides if you want to get the full effect.

However, if you’re a person who simply can’t say no to liver and gizzards, you won’t be able to resist checking their claim to the best in town… it’s posted on the door on your way in. It’s one of the few restaurants in the state where you can refuel your car and your tummy all in one stop!
