8 new restaurants we're excited to try
Fort Mill will soon be home to many new restaurants! There are even a couple of new ones we haven't tried yet, because, well quarantine, but we'll be giving them a go soon!
Blue Smokehouse & Bar - Brought to you by the folks of The Office Craft Bar & Kitchen, Blue Smokehouse & Bar is expected to open late summer 2020 off of Doby's Bridge and the Bypass. It will be a fast casual smokehouse with a full-service bar and homemade southern sides. (article edited June 17 to add Blue)
Emmet's Social Table - The well-known Waxhaw, NC restaurant is expected to expand to downtown Fort Mill in summer 2020. Taking the place of what used to be Southern Sugar, this will be their second location serving American-style tapas, craft beers, creative cocktails, and a variety of wine. Not sure if their menu will be the same, but check out their current menu, as well as a gluten-free menu they offer.
Epic Chophouse - Opening their second location in Kingsley Town Center, Epic Chophouse is currently a local treasure in the Lake Norman area, "offering exquisite steaks and seafood, specialty cocktails, and generous portions." No doubt it will be the go-to steakhouse in Fort Mill. Check out their current restaurant menu.
Legal Remedy Cantina - Scheduled to open in several weeks at Riverwalk Carolinas across from the Giordana Velodrome.
