Eat Right… in Summerville!

Summerville offers an eclectic mix of restaurants that offer true variety – from the 50-year-old Southern Specialties eatery that has delighted locals for three generations, to authentic ethnic restaurants, to the Five-Star, Five Diamond Dining Room at Woodlands Inn.

You'll find that chefs in Summerville use style and originality to produce delicious dishes that please any palette. Enjoy the relaxing atmosphere on Short Central -- a cobblestoned, pedestrian-only streetscape with shops and cafés just a block from Town Hall. Here you'll find the popular, European-style café, Eclectic Chef. Sit outside beneath market-style umbrellas while perusing their menu of sandwiches, soups, salads and desserts.

If you want to take in a cool, relaxing treat, grab a root beer float or a cherry Coke at Guerin’s Pharmacy (the soda fountain is at the rear of this old-style drug store) or stroll the historic downtown and find a café for dessert and a glass of ice-cold sweet tea. Yum!
