A  Southern seafood restaurant isn’t complete without a piping hot, crisp basket of hushpuppies in its repertoire—and the Chesapeake House serves them up just right. Minutes after ordering, guests at this family-owned establishment can expect a basket filled with not only the traditional sweet, crunchy cornbread nuggets, but also homemade cinnamon rolls and a variety of other fresh breads. Diners visit for the fresh seafood and picture-perfect marsh view, but the hushpuppies are more than a side item; they’re a bonus plan. 9918 N. Kings Highway, Myrtle Beach, (843) 449-3231, www.thechesapeakehouse.com
