In fact, 4.8 out of every 5 Google reviewers give it an all-thumbs up! Check it out below and then see how long you can go without making a visit to sample this delectable food for yourself.
Editor's note: Unfortunately, the International Kitchen has closed, and we will miss this delicious food.
Branded as the International Kitchen, this delightful restaurant is located fewer than six miles inland from Cherry Grove Beach and just off of South Carolina Highway 9.
It may be a bit out of the way for most South Carolinians; however, once you try the pickle soup you'll be hooked!
International Kitchen is family owned and operated and features many recipes handed down through generations from Poland. The menu also features other international specialties. But it's typically the Polish fare that draws people into this warming and inviting restaurant time and time again.
Are you a first timer? We suggest the Polish Delight. You'll get a sampling of a variety of traditional Polish dishes, including a cabbage roll, potato/cheese Pierogis, apple carrot salad, and Polish sausage on a bed of cabbage.
Of course you simply can't leave without trying the potato pancakes. They're perfect as an appetizer and served with a side of sweet applesauce.
Add more pleasure to any flavorful meal at International Kitchen with one of their international beers that are very hard to find in the U.S. And be sure to save room for dessert. The bread pudding is all the rave!
When you're ready to head toward Little River, you'll find International Kitchen in an unassuming plaza two blocks from South Carolina 9.
The food at this Polish diner in South Carolina is as good as it gets! International Kitchen is open five days a week. The hours are Tuesday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. Learn more on the official website here, and follow their Facebook page here.
