Near 95 & 26 in South Carolina

[north2south]

Greetings, y'all. I'm looking for a place to eat dinner roughly halfway between Columbia and Charleston, near the intersection of I-95 and I-26. The town of Holly Hill is around there, and yes, Sweatman's, but they are not open for dinner on a Thursday. Any other suggestions? Thanks.

I haven't been there in a while, but Lone Star BBQ in Santee can be a fun experience.

There's precious little. I'd just drive straight to Charleston and eat dinner here. It's only about 100 miles.

Assuming Charleston is the destination, that would be my advice too, since it's only about 50 miles from I-95 to Charleston.

Yes, obviously Charleston has better eats, but the point of this excursion is explicitly to not have to travel all the way to Charleston. I'm not looking for great, but was hoping for decent. Anyone ever been to 82 Cafe or Georgio's in St. George?

This is hard to figure,to drive hell bent from parts north toward Charleston in search of chow worthy food with no intent of getting there.What to call this,gastricus interuptus!

I-95 is exactly one hour from downtown...keep drivin!

Now that is funny!

I actually had lunch a year or two ago at Georgios in St. George. White it was pleasant and good enough, I don't think I'd make a 20 mile RT detour for it. If you HAVE to eat before you get to Charleston, how about Summerville (granted that the only place I ever ate was the Woodlands, and I don't know a single place to recommend).

Georgio's was terrible.

Not trying to be mean,but let that be a lesson to you.Its the old "silk purse from a sow's ear" thing.

Not trying to be mean, but if you are not willing to try out a sow's ear from time to time you have no idea what Chowhound is.

Touche'...good point!
