Diners are those places that are often overlooked when people go out looking for a place to eat. However, that can be a big mistake considering that a lot of diners have amazing food especially if you are in South Carolina. Some of the best cooks we have work in diners bringing you comfort food and soul food with a gourmet twist. You would be absolutely amazed. I found 14 awesome diners across South Carolina that will serve you up some amazing food while making you feel like you're in your Mom's kitchen at the same time.

1. Summerton Diner, 32 South Church Street, Summerton

People keep coming here for the friendly staff, fried chicken, and those oh, so yummy homemade pies!

2. The Early Bird Diner, 1644 Savannah Hwy, Charleston

This place is out of this world! They serve southern foods in a way that make you fall in love all over again. They will also make you something late at night on the weekends just like your mom would if you came home hungry. By the way, what you see above here is fried chicken cordon bleu.

3. The Glass Onion, 1219 Savannah Hwy, Charleston

You are going to feel right at home here. They are dishing up soul food with love. Just look at that perfectly fried chicken.

4. Harold's Diner, 641 William Hilton Pkwy, Hilton Head Island

Harold's is doing it old school with traditional southern foods and their own spin on hamburgers. You'll not be disappointed. P.S. Harold's is a cash only place. What you see above is a Philly Cheesesteak with cut fries.

5. Stax Omega Diner, 72 Orchard Park Dr, Greenville

Do you love comfort foods or breakfast all day? Then you will love this place because they will serve you pancakes or stuffed french toast in the middle of the day!

6. Ray's Diner, 3110 Two Notch Rd, Columbia

Ray's is a no frills kind of place that is serving up great food! And, the wait staff is so nice.

7. The New Dixie Diner, 1827 US-321, Clover

It's just amazing southern foods done right. The breakfast is always good and look at that burger! Oh My!

8. Flopeye Diner, 511 Chester Ave, Great Falls

Not only are you are going to feel so comfortable here due to the warm atmosphere and nice people, but just look at that plate of food! That is a hot skillet with grilled seafood over jambalaya rice. What?! Wow!

9. Dyar's Diner, 2216 Old Greenville Hwy, Pendleton

This is kind of an "in-line" place where you will pick up your meal as you go. The food is absolutely delicious. It's definitely not cafeteria food and you will leave there with a smile on your face and knowing that you will come back again.

10. Fuel Charleson, 211 Rutledge Ave, Charleston

Kind of diner, kind of not. It's an upscale type of diner serving Jamaican foods which are absolutely heavenly! This could become a second home...just a warning. Oh, what you see in that picture is a jerk chicken sandwich with fried plantains. Did you hear that? Fried plantains. Yum.

11. The Spice Diner, 2617 Woodruff Rd, Simpsonville

Awesome place to eat! Come in, kick back, and fill up on some of the deliciousness that they are serving.

12. Sunrise Drive-In, 3624 E Palmetto St, Florence

My friends say that this place has, "THE best fried chicken in the World!". I say that they have THE best homemade onion rings in the world!

13. Auten's, 969 Pine Log Rd, Aiken

Even their motto is, "Where you can have a meal and feel right at home." It's just delicious down home food cooked right.

14. Chickadees, 7949 Broad River Rd, Irmo

This is such a classic diner (girls in uniforms) with a twist! Definitely go for the atmosphere and stay for the food. They are serving things like Elvis French Toast, Wakey Wakey Eggs and Bakey Special, as well as this beautiful sauteed seafood over grits! You'll love this place and go back again and again.

These diners definitely aren't serving what used to be typical, they are serving the fantastic! It's a whole new concept for the little places and are worth your time to go and see what they are all about. Do you have a favorite diner that you like to visit or have you been to one of the above? If so, please tell us what you thought about it. I can tell you that my favorite diners are Sunrise Drive-In in Florence and Early Bird Diner in Charleston. Just thinking about these diners make me want to take a road trip!
