Best Cheap Eats in Rock Hill, SC
Two People, Under $20

๐Ÿ‘ Rock Hill  ยท  15 verified deals  ยท  Updated June 2026

Rock Hill sits 25 miles south of Charlotte but keeps its own food identity โ€” built on Carolina BBQ, decades-old greasy-spoon diners (some pushing 50+ years), and a growing Latin scene anchored by 50ยข Taco Tuesdays. Winthrop University keeps the bar low for student-budget meals, and several spots run cash-only, which holds prices down for everyone.

Las Americas Supermarket ๐Ÿ†

50ยข Street-Size Taco Tuesday โ€” 20 Tacos for Two = $10

Small family-run Latin grocery on Cherry Road with a working kitchen tucked at the back โ€” and the place every Rock Hill regular points you toward when you want cheap tacos done right. Every Tuesday the price drops to fifty cents per taco. One important caveat: these are genuine street-size tacos, two or three bites apiece, so order accordingly โ€” twenty between two diners runs ten dollars, with real budget left over for aguas frescas, horchata, or a side of carnitas. The rest of the week tacos jump to $2 each, dressed with cilantro and onion โ€” eight tacos for two diners comes to sixteen. Seven meats are on the board (carne asada, al pastor, barbacoa, chicken, chorizo, carnitas, campechano), and beyond tacos the kitchen turns out birria with consommรฉ, gorditas, pupusas, baleadas, and tamales by the pound. The grocery side carries chicharrรณn, fresh masa, Salvadoran cremas, and an excellent in-cooler hot sauce that locals swear beats the table sauce. Open daily 7amโ€“9pm; Tuesday lunchtime is a real crush, so calling ahead saves a wait. 1906 Cherry Rd, Rock Hill, SC 29732.

Sonny's Dutch Mill

Burgers, Dogs & Shakes โ€” Two Eat Under $14 (46 Years In Business)

Family-owned hot dog and burger counter on Anderson Road, in continuous operation for forty-six years and pulling 4.5+ stars across hundreds of Google reviews โ€” homemade chili and house-cut fries are the recurring callouts. The math here leaves change for milkshakes: hot dogs $1.50, slaw dogs $1.75, hamburgers $3.10, cheeseburgers $3.35, double burgers $4.45, and a hamburger steak plate with home fries and slaw at $7.50. Two cheeseburgers plus one milkshake to share comes in around ten dollars, leaving budget for fries and onion rings. Order it Carolina-style (chili, slaw, and onion piled on top), and grab a Cherry Lemon Sundrop โ€” a house-made signature mixed with cherry syrup. One quirk worth knowing: there's a 4% surcharge on card transactions, so cash genuinely saves money. Hours: Monโ€“Fri 11amโ€“8pm, Sat 11amโ€“3:30pm, closed Sundays. 550 Anderson Rd N, Rock Hill, SC 29730.

Ebenezer Grill ๐Ÿ†

Two Breakfast Plates for Two โ€” Under $14 (Old-School Rock Hill Icon)

A genuine old-school greasy spoon on Ebenezer Road where the walls are layered in customer signatures going back decades โ€” kids who scribbled their name in crayon at four come back at thirty-four to find the autograph still right where they left it. The current owner, Loyd Ardrey, took it over in 2003, continuing a chain of mom-and-pop operators stretching back to the mid-seventies. The 2-for-20 path is bottom-line simple: a breakfast plate with two eggs, bacon, biscuit, and hash browns runs $6.99 โ€” two breakfasts come to under $14. Lunch hot dog plates and chili cheeseburgers fall in the $4โ€“7 range, and the homemade vegetable soup and Carolina-style chili dogs are local favorites. Two important caveats: it's strictly cash (an ATM is on site), and they're only open Thursday, Friday, and Saturday from 6:30am to 2pm โ€” that's the entire week. 1525 Ebenezer Rd, Rock Hill, SC 29732.

Time Out Sports Bar & Grill

Taco Tuesday โ€” 12-Pack for $17 (Rock Hill's Oldest Bar)

Rock Hill's longest-running bar in its original location, three decades and counting on South Herlong Avenue โ€” narrow footprint, dive atmosphere, regulars at the bar by 4pm, and Winthrop students filling the booths come game night. Tuesdays are the headline value: $1.50 beef tacos, $1.50 chicken, $2.50 steak, $3 specialty, $4 street corn, or a $17 twelve-pack of beef, chicken, or split โ€” comfortably feeding two diners with food left over. Outside Tuesday, daily happy hour from 4 to 7pm Monday through Friday runs solid drink and food deals, and the burger menu (the bar's original calling card) holds up well โ€” the Ref's Special and the fried green beans get repeat callouts in reviews. Kitchen typically runs until close, with the bar open until midnight most nights. 131 S Herlong Ave, Rock Hill, SC 29732.

Mary's Cafe

Two Meat-and-Three Plates โ€” $17.58 (Family-Run Since 1995)

Family-run Southern lunch counter on Firetower Road, plating meat-and-three since 1995. The matriarch's country fried steak draws the loudest praise, but the cheapest path to filling two people is the 2-Veggie Plate at $8.79 โ€” pick any two from mac and cheese, fried squash, fried green tomatoes, collards, lima beans, mashed potatoes, fried okra, and pintos, with a dinner roll or cornbread on the side. Two veggie plates land at $17.58 with no meat involved. Add a hamburger ($7.19) or grilled cheese ($5.39) to the math if one person wants to go heavier. The smartest single-order play, though, is the soup with two grilled cheese combo at $13.19 โ€” one ticket, feeds two. Round out a visit with chicken and dumplings, meatloaf, and homemade banana pudding. Hours: Monโ€“Fri 11amโ€“8pm, Sat 8amโ€“3pm, Sun 11amโ€“3pm. 1349 Firetower Rd, Rock Hill, SC 29730.

Empire Pizza ๐Ÿ†

Two Slices Each โ€” $14 (Best Pizza 2024 & 2025)

Pizzeria run by the Doulaveris family since 2009, now expanded to six locations across York, Lancaster, and Mecklenburg counties. Won the Rock Hill Business Excellence Awards' Best Pizza Restaurant in both 2024 and 2025 โ€” the only Rock Hill pizzeria with that back-to-back honor. The 2-for-20 entry point is the slice deal until 5pm: cheese or pepperoni $3.50, slice of the day $4.50 โ€” two slices each for two diners totals $14. Beyond slices: small hand-tossed pizza $11.50 (large $18), build-your-own burger around $11, and the Two Brothers Supreme is the standout specialty pie locals point newcomers toward. Family-friendly with a full bar; menu also covers calzones, oven-baked subs, wraps, pasta, and a crustless Pizza Bowl for low-carb diners. Multiple Rock Hill addresses including the original at 1405 Riverchase Blvd, the Newport-area location at 4811 Old York Rd, and a smaller "Little Empire" downtown at the University Center.

Hot Dog Depot

Two Depot Dog Combos โ€” Under $20 (Local Drive-Thru)

Locally-owned drive-thru with a few picnic tables out back and two locations โ€” Rock Hill at 218 Albright Rd and Fort Mill at 106 Clebourne St. The flagship Depot Dog ($4.79) comes loaded with homemade slaw, chili, and mustard on a toasted bun. Custom hot dogs run $2.99, the Rock Hill Dog $4.19, and a quarter-pound burger $5.99. Two Depot Dog combos with fries land comfortably under $20. The build-your-own bar carries 20+ toppings, and the menu also covers smoked sausage and Palmetto cheese pretzel pups. Twelve boneless wings for $8.99 if you want to split a side. Open Monโ€“Sat 10:30amโ€“7:45pm. 218 Albright Rd, Rock Hill, SC 29730.

Anna J's

Two Diner Combos โ€” $14โ€“19 (50+ Years, New Location)

Greasy-spoon breakfast and lunch counter that's been a Rock Hill institution for fifty-plus years โ€” the original location closed briefly in 2018, then the operation reopened in March 2021 at a new South Herlong Avenue address with the same green checkerboard tablecloths and silver dollar pancakes that regulars remembered. Best 2-for-20 play: the Chicken Strip combo with fries and slaw at $6.99 (two for $13.98), or the Seafood Special with fish and shrimp at $9.49 (two for $18.98). Bubba's He-Man Breakfast โ€” two eggs, choice of meat, three pancakes, grits, toast, and coffee โ€” feeds one heavily or splits well between two. Big portions, fast service, and friendly staff are the recurring callouts in reviews. Open daily morning through early afternoon. 135 S Herlong Ave, Rock Hill, SC 29732.

Off The Tracks Brewing

Share a 12" Brick Oven Pizza โ€” $17โ€“18 for Two

Brewery and brick-oven pizza spot in a Cherry Road shopping plaza, jointly owned and operated by two York County mainstays โ€” Hobo's and Amor Artis Brewing โ€” who'd been collaborating on Fort Mill's Main Street Jams since 2018 before opening this place together. The cleanest 2-for-20 play is splitting a single 12-inch brick-oven pizza ($17โ€“18); the Stockyard (red sauce, mozzarella, pepperoni, Italian sausage, bacon, Canadian bacon, and bacon jam), the Pongonis (lemon herb ricotta with fresh basil), and the Handcar (a pickle pizza with mozzarella, parmesan, dill, and pickle ranch drizzle) all qualify. If you'd rather split sandwiches, Buffalo Chicken focaccia is $11.25 and the Cattle Wagon meatball is $11.75 โ€” both come with house chili-butter popcorn on the side. Dog-friendly covered patio attached to a kid-friendly green space. 502 Cherry Rd Suite 106, Rock Hill, SC 29732.
