Do yourself a favor the next time you’re in the Pawleys Island area and have lunch at Chester’s Pit Stop, located right on Highway 17 between Pawleys Island and Litchfield. You don’t have to be from New Jersey to appreciate the delicious Jersey Italian sausage tucked between the folds of a potato roll and then piled high with the toppings of your choice.

Nor do you need to be an official hot dog connoisseur to realize the all-beef hot dogs here are so good, you may worry about them becoming habit forming.
