When it comes to game-changing foodie experiences in South Carolina, you won’t find another eatery that’s quite like Gene’s Fine Food in Union. It may be a bit off the beaten path, but traveling to out of the way places is what makes a road trip… well, a road trip. So put on your adventure shoes and hit the road to Gene’s. Here’s what you’ll find when you get there:
Firstly, Gene’s Fine Food has been around for more than 50 years. And secondly, when you roll up to the parking lot to find yourself standing beneath a very cool sign and next to a huge chicken on top of a vintage truck… you’ll know you’ve arrived someplace shabby and chic.

While Gene’s serves up a mean burger (and you definitely want to try one while you’re here), there are many items on the menu. So many, you’ll have a hard time deciding.

From fried chicken (the best in town!) to seafood platters, a land ans sea plate, chicken livers, hot wings, and more, Gene’s Fine Food lives up to it name time and time again.

Watching your lovely figure? Why not stick with a veggie plate? Or you could go with the chef salad, side salad, or taco salad! You can’t go wrong at Gene’s.
Google Maps/Edward Corner Sides include baked potatoes, French fries, and onion rings.
