South Carolina has been home for AnneMarie since 2001. Her favorite part of the state is Lake Jocassee. An App State alumna, it's always the mountains; the lake bonus makes it heavenly. When not writing about the state, she may be spending time with family, relaxing by the pool, or out somewhere enjoying nature.
If you’ve never taken time to venture out into some of the smaller towns of South Carolina, you’re missing out on some true hidden gems. Take, for example, the tiny town of Perry, which had a population of just under 200 people in 2021. You may not expect to find anything but country scenery there. But in reality, there’s a little restaurant called Christy’s Country Cooking that is said to have the best burgers in South Carolina, and quite possibly the best burgers you’ve ever eaten, period.
The town of Perry is located in Aiken County, which is a part of what's known as Thoroughbred Country, with the city of Aiken known as the "Horse Capital of the South". Christy's Country Cooking is situated along Highway 389, or Walker Street, which is the main highway through Perry.
Christy's Country Cooking is a very casual eatery with warm hospitality and southern, home-style meals with a good variety of options.
If you're a hamburger or cheeseburger lover, you're in the right place. Many say that you won't find a better burger than right here at Christy's in the tiny town of Perry.
One customer even said he'd been on a mission to find the greatest burger in America, stumbled onto Christy's by accident, and was in awe over how good these burgers are! He specifically noted that there was no heavy feeling after eating it as he'd noticed at other places due to the grease used as leverage for flavor. At Christy's Country Cooking, you get a real deal hamburger!
But if you'd rather have a meat and three type of meal, you'll have some options from the meat specials offered that day along with lots of choices for sides/veggies to go with.
Christy’s Country Cooking in Perry serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner. So while you’ll want to see for yourself if they’ve got the best burgers in South Carolina, you’ll probably want to eat here more than once to try some other things people rave about, too – such as to-die-for pot roast, just for starters!
If you’ve got animal lovers in your family, check out Eudora Farms close by. There are plenty of other fun things to do in Thoroughbred Country, so you may wish to just book this top-rated Airbnb in the area and spend some time exploring this corner of the great state of South Carolina!
