Hi all-

I am craving a basket of hand-battered, fried-to-perfection onion rings. Of all the places to eat around here, certainly somebody has some really good ones. I just don't know where to start.

Any suggestions? I haven't had an intense craving for a food like this in years!

Thank you in advance for any suggestions.

~Kimmie

Both Ike's and The Beacon in Spartanburg will hit the spot.

Not sure if you have an Arby's where you live, but I think their onion rings are delicious.

I am an onion ring connoisseur. Trust me. Try the onion rings at The Clock on Congaree Road. Get in your car and drive there right now!

And leave you with the lingering smell of them to take home with you.

I agree that they are worth waiting for on special occasions (I can't eat greasy foods as often as I once did).

On a side note, I'd love to know of places around the Upstate that offer good fried okra. My benchmark is Soul Fish Cafe in Memphis. The closest recipe/method I've found in the Upstate is the Big Clock of Powdersville.

Is Big Clock and The Clock the same thing, because I know of multiple The Clocks in Spartanburg, Anderson, and Greenville and know of Big Clocks in Berea part of Greenville, and Powdersville? Or am I just confused.
If it is different, what is the difference?
