Craving brunch? We may have just found you a new spot to try out in South Carolina. New rankings show that one South Carolina restaurant ranks as one of the best spots to grab brunch in the nation.

According to The State, SELECT restaurant in Greer, South Carolina made the list of top places to eat brunch. Open Table created the rankings based on multiple restaurant scores and over 10 million reviews. ā€œThe overall score is made up of unique data points, such as overall diner rating, user klout, the total number of reviews, and regional overall rating,ā€ said Open Table in a news release. Of all of the restaurants to make the list, SELECT, is the only restaurant from South Carolina. The restaurant is just outside of Greenville, South Carolina, and is enjoyed by many locals and visitors.

SELECT offers a wide range of great options to enjoy while dining. They have brunch, lunch, and dinner options, as well as, a refreshing drink menu. Particularly famous for their brunch, guests have the option to enjoy brunch foods such as:

  • Chicken Fried Chicken
  • Steak Oscar Benedict
  • Lemon Berry Pancakes
  • Cinnamon Roll French Toast

SELECT is located at 112 Trade St. in Greer, South Carolina, and is your next brunch destination spot! I think I will start planning my next brunch trip today!

It's barely Monday afternoon but I'm already daydreaming about the weekend. And one of my favorite things to do on the weekends? Brunch. You can satisfy your sweet tooth, enjoy something savory, and hello day drinking mimosas. It's the perfect combination. Especially when it's also filled with friends. And while I have some classic go-to places for brunch I love to try new places as well. But in a city like Charlotte with so many brunch spots, it can be overwhelming to know where to try next. It seems like every day somewhere new is opening. Some places that are considered hot spots have multi-hour waits no matter what time you go.

So let me offer you at least a little help. I went to OpenTable.com to figure out what Charlotte has rated as the best brunch in town. Some would have made my list, others I don't necessarily think of as brunch, and a few I'm adding to my list to try! This list features a variety of cuisines not just your typical pancakes, eggs, and waffles. Locations vary from South Carolina to South Park to the lake and many places in between.
