Regardless of your particular tastes, dining in the Carolinas will satisfy even the most discriminating palettes.

Low Country Cuisine

Low Country CuisineRestaurants in the Carolinas offer dishes that range in style from traditional European recipes to Low Country cuisine. If you've never heard of the latter think Cajun with a little less spice. The region is blessed with a wealth of fresh seafood all year long, which means seasonal shellfish makes up most of the signature dishes commonly attributed to the Low Country. You'll find endearing names like Hoppin' John, She-crab Soup, Skippin' Jenny, Frogmore Stew, Perlau, and Crab Crack on the menus in this delightful area. Do yourself a favor... ask about them, then be sure to take note of the local pride that rises on your server's face as he or she explains the merits of each dish.

While a tried and true menu of oyster, shrimp, crab, lobster, and whitefish dishes holds appeal for many travelers to the Carolinas, there are others who prefer a classic dining experience. Fortunately, the area offers a long list of first class restaurants who specialize in an eclectic array of cultural cuisine, and in authentic American fare.

One thing is for certain: golfers build up hearty appetites after a day of Carolina golf, and will never go hungry in North and South Carolina. In fact, it will require a couple of rounds of golf a day in order to work off all the delicious food you'll enjoy on your Carolina golf vacation!
