South of the Border

One of the most overrated items on this list has to be the South of the Border gas station in South Carolina. This joint gas station and restaurant sits on the border of North and South Carolina, and decided that the fact that it is just south of the actual border will be its one and only defining trait. The entire thing is intentionally overly campy, but for many, it leans so far into the irony that it's no longer enjoyable or ironic.

If you plan on stopping here, hopefully, it's just for a refill on gas and a pit stop for some food before moving on somewhere more interesting. At the end of the day, it's just a gas station.
