When it comes to hidden gems, Crawdad Hole fits the bill. Not only is the eatery located in a small town, but it’s housed in a former service station – both of which mean it’s easy to pass up. But you’ll definitely want to seek out this restaurant since it serves some of the tastiest seafood around. Take a look:
