On a recent trip to TN, we didn't want fast food and found this place online. Here's an honest…read morereview, and unfortunately, the reviews that influenced our decision to drive several miles away from our destination were not what we experienced or expected. Ambiance: Pretty good, clean, no complaints. Service: Quick, fast, friendly service. Food: Waitress/bartender took our to-go order. Ordered three to-go plates, meat plus two sides. Asked her if the macaroni and cheese was worth ordering-is it homemade or like the box? She replied, "we make ours homemade, people love our homemade macaroni and cheese!" Added to our order, two of us got pulled pork, and one order for half-slab of ribs, and requested please do not put sauce on the meat; she replied that they do not cook it with the sauce on it and all meat is served dry with "homemade sauce" on the side. Fried okra as second side all three orders. Take a look at the attached photographs, definitely not homemade macaroni and cheese just looking at the pictures and tasted like Velvetta. Pulled pork - drenched in sauce that and was not good. Neither of us could eat the pulled pork; it was that bad. Don't have a picture of the ribs and those were okay, fried okra was really good. Just do not appreciate dishonesty to make a dollar. We would have still ordered from here even if they said they used box macaroni and cheese- just would have tried something else. Also, ordered fried mushrooms that were excellent, but the "homemade" ranch sauce was definitely not "homemade ". And waitress said their honey mustard was also "homemade". It definitely was not. Spent way too much money on "homemade" food we trashed and ended up having to get fast food after all.

The good. Service was excellent-fast and easy to speak with hostess/waitress. The fries were hot…read moreand cooked well. The bad: well the brisket...it was really tough almost like leather. I don't get a single piece of fat, all lean tough meat. See pic. For them to charge the same as Lewis BBQ who makes one of the best briskets in the upstate, this was a far cry from that. Just no tenderness and dry meat even with the sauces it's a constant chew. If you're going here for a meal, I would definitely NOT get the brisket. Maybe try the pork or chicken.

PROS of our dining experience : Fairly empty dining room so…read moreplenty of covid spacing. All staff took covid precautions wearing masks and gloves. The buffet is protected by plexi glass and your plate is prepared by a server . Very efficient service . Servers were friendly and our drinks were always filled and plates cleared quickly. Quick dining. It's buffet style so no waiting for food to be prepared. We were traveling home with several more hours on the road and wanted a quick dinner so a buffet seemed ideal. CONS: The bbq completely missed the mark for me in terms of texture and flavor. It was dry and clearly not pit cooked. Tasted more like it was boiled and reheated in an oven. There was no sauce on the meat which would have helped during the cooking process. The three sauces available were mustard, vinegar and a ketchup based one. We did not care for any of them. The vinegar was 100 % vinegar with nothing else added to it. The ketchup based tasted like ketchup mixed with Kraft bbq sauce. We were very disappointed in the lack of culinary creativity in the sauces. Bbq sauce is an art, it can literally make or break the meat and it seemed like an afterthought at Hawg Heaven. Overall, there was nothing on the buffet that was particularly tasty or worth the calories. They offered quite a selection like fried chicken, pork loin and mashed potatoes but everything lacked seasoning and flavor. The only way to put it is the food did not seem to be made with love! Lol .Perhaps they were having an off night so maybe one day I can improve my rating.

I've been a 'frequent flyer' at Hawg Heaven for a long time. The experience, service & food had…read morealways been exceptional, but recently it appears success has 'gone to their head'. Last night (10/17) we went with some friends for an early meal at about 5:45P and to beat the soon-to-come suppertime rush. The selection wasn't all we'd expected on a Friday evening & it soon became apparent they were moving leftovers from lunch. The vegetable selection was just fine, but the BBQ was only somewhere close to room temp. The ribs looked great, but were tough & not warm. Both the broiled fish & fried chicken were unacceptable: tough, dry & nowhere near warm. I've had a little experience with food inspection & assume a DHEC inspector would've probably closed them. We've had similar experience recently & assumed it was just a fluke, but it's become more a pattern. Someone overseeing the kitchen is letting food get to the serving line that's not acceptable...or even safe. Assuming this gets read, we'll probably give it another try, but if it isn't greatly improved, it'll be Farm Boy's or the long ride to Shealey's.

This is the third Groucho's Deli that we've visited and we've enjoyed each one. The atmosphere is…read morefast food but with table service, the food is consistently delicious and the menu is extensive. We especially enjoy the sugar free Dr. Brown's craft sodas! Hubby ordered the STP Dipper with Groucho's chips, and I ordered the Reuben Variation with slaw instead of sauerkraut, and potato salad. The sandwiches were tasty and filling. We each finished the meal with a cookie to go: chocolate chip and snickerdoodle. The cookies were just the right size, soft and chewy. Currently Groucho's Deli locations are only in South and North Carolina and we will try to patronize them when in the area, but we'd be happy to see Groucho's venture farther north!

It was hard picking something! I chose a turkey sandwich on rye which came with a tasty pickle spear and bag of their own chips $8.79 (?). It was tasty the bread was a little smaller than normal rye bread but there was plenty of meat. I suspect they have their bread made too. Hubby got BLT and the bread same ( little small) but was mounded high with meat!

The cashier asked if I wanted two wings, and I said no. Then he asked if I wanted two legs! I said I'd like a breast and a wing. He said "Oh, we can do that! " Since when did the two piece meal not come with either a thigh or a wing? My wife wanted a crispy breast and water. They didn't have crispy so she took a regular. They gave her a small cup for the water and charged her $1.69....I guess for the cup. When she went to get water, it had a pinkish color from the drink associated with the water dispenser. She tried to run the dispenser to clear the water, but it still didn't clear it. Tables were not clean..we had to look around to find a clean table. No napkins in the dispenser. Would not recommend this KFC. It's not worth it.

Got a text stating 10:42 but at 10:45 i received a message from my uber driver that they had an issue with my order and had to remake it. Got my order and it was wrong. I contacted uber then Pizza Hut and got no response back. My children's pizza was so dry no sauce was on it the cheese was brown the personal pan we ordered was wrong. It had so much toppings on top as if they were thrown on top. So I called this morning to report that I tried calling last night to notify about my order and that it was wrong. I asked could they please remake it being my children went to bed with out eating since our food was over a hour behinds and wrong. She stated they will not due to policy of needing the food. (Which got thrown out by hotel staff when room was cleaned) no kind of settlement knowing all that was stated about calling and placing orders just because I didn't have the food.
