The best barbecue almost always comes from those unassuming hole in the wall places. My inner voice…read moreof confidence, the one that says "it's gonna be great," was already humming before I even stepped inside. At first glance, I wondered what exactly this industrial looking neighborhood had to do with good food. Still, I parked, walked in, and was immediately greeted by the unmistakable aroma of meat that had been slow smoking all day long. A very kind older lady welcomed me and explained that the buffet was all-you-can-eat for just $17. That sounded easy enough. I grabbed a plate and began my journey down the line. There were the staples: rice, collard greens, fried okra, hush puppies. Then came the showstoppers. A massive tray of mac & cheese, golden fried chicken, barbecue chicken, and pulled pork that looked like it had been tended with care. Oh, my. Off to the side sat squeeze bottles of sauce and ketchup, flanked by potato salad, cole slaw, and two varieties of pickles that added a crisp counterpoint to the richness of the meats. I ate far more than I intended, but every bite was worth it. The mac & cheese was excellent, very cheesy and full of flavor. Maybe not quite as good as when Mrs. K. blesses me with her recipe, but still, excellent. The barbecue chicken was moist and seasoned just right. The pulled pork was some of the best I have had, with a few larger pieces mixed in that gave it texture and depth. It was so good it really didn't need any sauce at all. If desserts were offered, I didn't see them. A small scoop of banana pudding would have tied the whole experience together in a perfect knot. Even without it, this was a five-star meal in my book. Yum, and then yum again. [Review 1512 of 2025 - 1366 in South Carolina - 25063 overall]

From the first phone inquiry to the experience in the restaurant, the people were genuinely polite and welcoming. The atmosphere felt calm, relaxed, and easy. The food exceeded expectations. The Cobb salad was especially good - fresh, well-balanced, and thoughtfully put together, with healthy ingredients and no bacon, which I appreciated. The shrimp tacos were excellent, topped with a slightly sweet/spicy, mysterious sauce that worked really well. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area!!!

The staff were all very polite and friendly. We were seated quickly with drink orders taken. It took a few minutes to get the drinks, but thats OK. A larger table was seated before us so its all good. We placed our food order of the Loaded Fries for an appetizer, 2 Killer Club sandwichs(pesto on the side)with fries, Secret Philly with onion rings and the Blackened Fish Tacos with the chips salsa and queso. The Loaded Fries were delicious! Plenty of bacon and queso on them. The Philly was delicious, onion rings hot and crispy. The kids loved their Club sandwiches. They were HUGE and the kids could have easily split one. The Blackened Fish Tacos were the only negative on our trip. They were pale colored, hardly warm, and the slaw was soggy. Honestly they were aweful! My husband tried a bite and said it tasted like it was from yesterdays trash. I have seen tons of good reviews on them so I'm not sure if they have been changed or I got them on a bad day or what. I hate sending food back, so I just ate them. I tried throwing pesto from the clubs, salsa or queso on bites trying to make them better, but nothing really helped. Overall we will definitely be back again, just not ordering the tacos!

I ordered a hot dog and mac and cheese on DoorDash from S & S Eatery as I was leaving nearby…read moreCameron. GPS said 12 minutes and DoorDash said the order would be ready in 15 so the timing was gonna work well. S & S is right by SCSU and I hope it's a favorite of the students cause the food is darn good. This location has some parking out front but not a ton. There is able seating inside. I let the gentleman behind the counter know that I had a DoorDash order and he had it all packed up and ready to go. Now that's what I call service! I was on a road trip so I enjoyed my food in the car. The Hot dog was LOADED with chili and slaw. Listen, I love when places are generous with their toppings but I could barely pick-up this dog. This meal took lots of napkins! Amazingly the bun held together until the last bite. Now that's resilience! The chili and slaw worked really well. The hot dog itself was good quality too. The mac and cheese was PLENTY cheesy and delicious Thanks S & S. I hope to return if I'm in the area again.

Hello, we have been patronizing Clark's for nearly 8 years and compared to many establishments…read morewe've visited throughout our lifetime Clark's has a FEEL none can match. The food is exceptional and has surpassed any expectation regarding cuisine we've experienced in many different restaurants. Regarding staffing, no words can express the sincere professionalism, courtesy, kindness, friendliness, warmth that is received with each and every visit. Namely Danny (irreplaceable), Mark (irreplaceable), Donna (irreplaceable) Melvin (irreplaceable), "Field" (irreplaceable), Jamie (irreplaceable), Olivia (irreplaceable). If we have forgotten anyone, please forgive us but I am POSITIVE they too add a sense of class and elegance to this fine establishment. Our only concern and disappointment is the newly appointed manager by the name of "Lance" who by our personal observation does NOT relate well with the staff and communicates with them in a disrespectful and abrasive manner. He exhibits mannerisms more suitable for a fast-food establishment. In our opinion he is definitely NOT qualified as Clark's material. We considered never re-visiting Clark s restaurant until he was no longer on staff, however staff insisted we return and not let his temperament dampen our experience. For those who frequent Clark's, please continue to patronize this great establishment and enjoy the unique FEEL and AMBIANCE that makes Clark's the beautiful place that it is..... To the owners we wish you blessings and continued success!! And it was a honor and pleasure meeting both Mr. Mrs. Clark in person.

As you enter the restaurant, give yourself extra time to wander the charming (& large) gift shop. Each of the staff we met along the way was delightfully kind & pleasant.

The restaurant waitstaff were impeccable, great attention to detail - silverware, glassware, napkins, etc. EDGAR was our server & he was a complete delight, a true gentleman & made our experience a "home run". The food was amazing - we had the soups, salad, seafood, gnocci, low country boil & an apple crisp dessert. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. This was a terrific dinner!!

Have you ever felt like you missed out by never having Rodney Scott's bbq in Hemingway, SC before…read moreit became a big deal multi state sensation? B & D (Bobby & Dixie George) is like that- and I have a feeling they have no interest at all in being a sensation outside of their hometown of Smoaks, SC. My daughter and I drove up their driveway sort of impulsively when we were driving through the area hungry and reading Yelp reviews. We ordered our sandwiches from a window that looked like it was their back patio. This take out only restaurant was busy and the patrons were both white and black- a rare sight at restaurants in probably more progressive Charleston- we also had tea (32 oz serving even though we ordered the 'small' which is 16 oz!) and pineapple cake. We ate in our car. It was delicious. Next time I will get the plate so I can try the rice and hash. Check it out but keep in mind they are only open on Saturdays (11 am to 7 pm)- cash only- don't miss out. Bobby and Dixie have been serving their delicious food since 1986 (36 years!!) and B&D Bar-B-Que is not going to be here forever.

I had the catfish dinner with collard greens and loaded baked potatoe. The two large filets were perfectly cooked and the collards were very good too. Not cooked all day, but very tender. Even the stems were tender. The only detractor was that they are currently in a temporary location, so not on the water. But the food and service offset that temporary issue. My wife had Grilled Grouper. She enjoyed her meal too. The Fried Green Tomato Appetizer was probably the best I have ever had. Perfectly cooked, large meaty texture slices. They were mouth watering. It is always great when a restaurant is proud of their health score and will post it in a highly visible spot. Their "A" rating is right there on the door when you enter the establishment. Keep up the great food & service "The Lakehouse". I would love to return once you are back on the lake. I would highly recommend this restaurant.
