Grabbing a bite to eat with friends or having a date night with your partner is always a good time, but you don't always have to dine at the most popular eateries and chain restaurants to have a great meal. Sometimes the most delicious plates can be found hiding away in family-run establishments with secret recipes, pop-ups started by friends that grew into community staples or hidden gems with the tastiest bites for an affordable price.
Using reviews, awards and accolades, and first-hand experience, LoveFood compiled a list of the "most charming" restaurants around the country, selecting the most "delightful" spot in every state "from historic buildings turned into boutique restaurants to romantic date venues with breathtaking views."
According to the site, the most charming eatery in all of South Carolina is Momma Rabbit's Nibbles and Sips. Located in Lexington, this family-run restaurant is operated by a group of siblings and offers unique decor that was once found in their grandmother's house. Momma Rabbit's Nibbles and Sips, which has a 4.3 star rating on Google and over 600 reviews, is located at 5082 Sunset Boulevard.
Here's what LoveFood had to say about this inviting eatery:
"For a real family-run restaurant experience, head to Lexington's Momma Rabbit's Nibbles and Sips. Eight siblings — Will, Sarah Grace, Spencer, James, Webb, John, George and Richard Allen — created the restaurant, drawing on their background of raising animals and growing crops organically. When you pick up a sandwich, soup, or salad, have a look at the walls which are covered in retro movie posters that formerly hung in the home of the siblings' grandmother, Momma Rabbit."
