The Glass Onion on Hwy 17

Inconspicuously good, fresh food. A relaxed atmosphere. And a friendly staff.

They’re doing it right at The Glass Onion restaurant on Highway 17, just past the intersection of Farmfield Avenue, on the left. As they say, “We strongly believe in the importance of eating seasonally, locally, and naturally. So, you can expect all natural meats, local seafood, and vegetables from as close to home as we can get.”

Don’t miss the fried chicken livers. If you’re on a tight budget, go for the 4 sides for $7.

And their cornbread—how did they do that?

You’ll find owner Sarah O’Kelley—with her signature hair bandanna—busing tables and working the register in a funky building whose original claim to fame is that it housed the first Seven-Eleven store in South Carolina. It’s got new fame now, though. And lots of repeat customers. •
