New Survey Reveals The Best Hole In The Wall Restaurants In North and South Carolina
My husband and I stayed in a little mountain town a couple of weeks ago with one restaurant. You could definitely call it, a hole in the wall restaurant. And you just never know what you might get. A new survey reveals the best hole in the wall restaurants in North Carolina and South Carolina.
The one we went to in Glendale, North Carolina was surprisingly great. And we went in with trepidation. Nothing about the outside suggested the culinary delights inside. That is, by definition, what makes a great hole in the wall place to get your vittles.
According to Cheapism, if you are in Greensboro, North Carolina you must stop by Carolina’s Diner. You can find it at 506 South Regional Road in Greensboro. According to Cheapism, people say they love this place for the clean interior, fast service and classic dinner meals. When you are there the locals say be sure and get some biscuits and gravy or country friend steak and eggs.
When in South Carolina, you must stop in at OJ’s Diner in Greenville, South Carolina. You will find it at 907 Pendleton Street. So what makes this place so special? It is family owed and does an excellent job with all the southern classics. We hear the fried okra, pork chops and grits. Don’t forget the peach cobbler for dessert.

These Are South Carolina's Top Dog Friendly Restaurants
What are South Carolina’s most dog friendly restaurants? We’ve got the answer. And listen, I love dogs. I really do. And I’m on board (if your dog can handle it and is happy) for taking dogs to places like breweries. Perhaps even somewhere with an outdoor patio to eat. But I’m a little more hazy on that one. But what I saw this weekend in Blowing Rock, was two different dogs one in a stroller and the other just laying under the table, inside in a restaurant. I’m sorry the line has to be drawn somewhere. Your dog will be ok at home for an hour by themselves. These were not service animals, just dogs that were accompanying their owners to dine inside a sit-down restaurant.
I get it. When my dog was alive I did wish I could take him everywhere. He loved to go to the drive-thru, the bank, or a pet-friendly store like Petsmart. But I never took him into a general store and certainly never to a restaurant. And in all honesty, he would have been miserable at a restaurant. He hated sitting still in a new place, would have been trying to eat everyone’s food, and the heat outside would have bothered him as well. But despite my personal feelings about taking your dog out to eat, numerous people do it. This is what led Yelp to create a list of the most dog-friendly restaurants in America. And three of South Carolina’s most dog-friendly restaurants made the list.
Here’s how Yelp says the list was curated: “We identified businesses in the restaurants and food categories with a large concentration of reviews mentioning “dog friendly,” then ranked those spots using a number of factors including the total volume and ratings of reviews mentioning those keywords between June 1, 2020, and June 1, 2023. If a chain appeared on the list more than once, we only included the highest-rated location. When available, all businesses on this list have a passing health score as of June 1, 2023.” You can view the full list of 100 restaurants here or keep reading to see South Carolina’s Top Dog-Friendly Restaurants.
