    While doing a road trip to Atlanta from Savannah, my husband found on Roadside America that Claxton, Georgia is home to the famous fruitcake company, Claxton's Fruit Cake. I do like fruitcake, however it really depends on what is in it. Some fruit cakes that I have had has too many candied fruits, which is something I don't really like and find to be too sweet. I like a fruitcake that is well balanced and also has chopped nuts for added texture and nuttiness. Anyways, in 1910, an Italian immigrant who also had a background in baking/ pastry making, Savino Tos, opened a bakery in Claxton. Although he had made other baked goods, he was best known for his fruitcake that is made with raisins, Georgia pecans, candied pineapple, dried fruit and other nuts. You can actually purchase this fruitcake from Amazon, Sam's Club, Walmart, etc. nationwide. But it is cheaper if you buy it from the storefront directly. When we arrived on a Tuesday morning, around 11 am, we were able to find street parking right out front. We came in and were acknowledged but were not greeted by the employees behind the plexiglass. Based on the few photos on this Yelp page inside, it was definitely different looking (I am assuming because of the pandemic). There were few offerings of fruitcake, which included individually wrapped thin slices of fruitcake, 1 lb rectangular wrapped fruitcake, 3 lb wrapped fruitcake and 5 lb wrapped fruit cake. Not sure if I would like this fruitcake, I ended up purchasing: Fruit Cake Bar, $1 prior to tax- I purchased 2 of these fruitcake bars, which were individually wrapped. Being that it was only $1 (before tax), I figured it was a good deal just to try it. I consumed this the day after purchase and felt it was on the sweet side because of all the candied fruit that was in it. I did not feel the flavors were balanced, as I felt part of it was bland and the other was so sweet. I am glad that I only ended up purchasing 2 of these thin bars instead of a 1 or 3 pound cake (which is what I was afraid would happen if I did not end up liking it). ------------------------------- (Total= $2.08 after tax) Service was a little weird and made me feel a bit awkward when we came in. There were employees and their children sitting behind the plexiglass. It looked like the children and the adults were eating their lunch or breakfast. Since we were the only customers, I think it just added to the awkwardness. All the food items on display on the counter were not price tagged so I had to ask how much the fruitcake bars were. Overall, not really interested in coming back here or to try this fruitcake brand again. But I am sure there are others that would disagree and be delighted with the way this company's fruitcake taste like.

    It's just darn good fruit cake that's been around for a long time! From Claxton, GA, the Fruite Cake Capital of the World!

    I have always enjoyed their fast and friendly service. The fruitcake makes a great snack any time of the year.

    The public store here is a little counter off to the side of what I'm guessing is a big building where they make fruitcake.

    My goto spot in Statesboro when anyone comes to visit…read more OGreat food expertly prepared, a luscious cocktail menu, desserts that are off the charts, pleasant and helpful staff, and a tremendous bonus to find out that they locally source as many items and ingredients as possible.

    Absolutely great bistro in Statesboro! We arrived 10 mins before 11, when they opened for brunch on…read morea Sunday, and there was already a line of people waiting! Must be a good sign. We promptly got sat by the lovely staff working. We sat outside, I ordered an Aperol spritz and my husband got a Bloody Mary. All of our drinks were delicious, reasonably priced. The Bloody Mary wasn't spicy (although a table next to us was complaining it was...), and the Hugo spritz was SO refreshing! They for the fresh mint from their herbs out front! Only complaint was we prefer our espresso martinis to be mostly espresso heavy, and this one was more cream heavy. We ordered the Brussels, country breakfast (subbed cheese grits instead of pancakes because we're gluten free) and got a side of fresh fruit. It was so much food. We didn't finish it all! The grits were nicely seasoned and cheesy. Brussels were super crispy and not drenched in grease or sauce. Eggs were nice and salty, potatoes were fried nicely. Everything was great. We would love to come back for lunch or dinner - especially happy hour. It wasn't too loud and we felt there was plenty of seating.
