    bacon, eggs, and sausage
    Amy P.

    Every time I've gone here, it's always a good experience. The owner and staff are so pleasant. They don't have menus, but have plenty of options. They serve breakfast all day which I love. It gives me a diner feel that I miss coming across. Check them out if you get a chance.

    Our all time favorite diner! The owner is always there, always happy to make you feel welcomed, and the food is always great! My family and I love coming and making our own orders, big or small.

    Interesting first visit. Had the pork chop w fried squash and a side salad. The food was good. Did not care for the owner taking a piece of squash off of my plate w her long fingernails before I ate anything

    I've never been to such a quaint restaurant before, talk about old-timey!! No printed menu the server (often the owner) will recite the special of the day and offer suggestions too. Everything is made to order, fresh and hot. Beware, bring cash because they don't take any electronic form of payment.

    Country steak, eggs and grits

    Absolutely love this place. The server is so funny. This is our third time visiting and we always enjoy the food and service. She does trivia with the guest. This time she asked us to name four colleges with a color in their name. When we walked in she told me to write my order down. The cook came and got the order, but they were out of country ham so she had to come back and change my husband's order. The food came quickly and everyone is welcoming and friendly. I had to take a half of star because it is very small and they aren't adhering to Covid spacing.

    Great Food, Super low prices, and Nostalgic decor! The quintessential "OLD GREASY SPOON", the food was quick, greatly seasoned, well cooked. Chalk boards and posters advertised the daily specials and favorites ordered by regulars. Our waitress was friendly, informative, approachable, and entertaining. She read us the Menu in the form of a Poem. SO darn cute. So don't ask for a menu, there isn't one. The restaurant was decorated with lots of nostalgic memorabilia hanging on the walls. Pictures of Old time movie stars and entertainers. You felt like you've traveled back in time. It was definitely like eating breakfast at Grandma's house. No fuss, No frills but sure tasted good. It is a CASH ONLY BUSINESS. We ordered the Western Omelets with Home Fries it was very filling and very well cooked. I really enjoyed our ride to Moncks Corner for this meal. I highly recommend.

    I normally do not post things like this publicly, but after attempting to address concerns…read moreprivately and receiving no response, I feel obligated to share our experience to help others make informed decisions when booking events. We recently hosted our daughter's First Communion celebration at Ophelia's Wines & Bites, and unfortunately the experience was extremely disappointing. Throughout the planning process, numerous promises were made regarding setup assistance, décor, staffing, food portions, beverage service, and overall event coordination that were either not followed through on or changed entirely by the day of the event. Family members and guests ended up handling many tasks that we were told would already be completed, including decorating, organizing tables, lighting candles, and addressing missing items while guests were arriving. Food portions were much smaller than represented during the tasting, several items we expected to be included were charged separately, beverage service was poorly managed, and there was little to no actual table service despite paying for what was presented as an "all-inclusive" event experience. Most upsetting was the lack of communication, follow-through, and accountability afterward. We spent a significant amount of money expecting professionalism and hospitality, but left feeling stressed, embarrassed, and taken advantage of during what should have been a very special day for our daughter. I am sharing this simply so others thoroughly clarify ALL expectations, pricing, staffing, setup responsibilities, food quantities, and service details in writing before booking an event there.

    We visited Ophelia's Wine & Bites for a moms' night out, and overall it's a cute spot with a lot of…read morepotential, though a few things didn't quite hit the mark. The atmosphere is charming, and the space itself appeared clean, but the place was completely empty during our visit, which surprised us. I ordered a Lambrusco from the sparkling section of the menu and expected something bubbly, but what came out was a still red wine. Everyone at the table was a little confused by that. Thankfully it still tasted good, so I kept it -- just not what I thought I ordered. For food, I had the crostini, which tasted good, but for the price I expected larger portions rather than very thin slivers of toasted bread with cheese and fruit. We also ordered the s'mores, which were fun and tasty, but again didn't quite feel worth the cost. A few more strawberries or a way to toast the marshmallows would've elevated it. The service was truly great, though. Our waitress was incredibly sweet, attentive, and checked on us often. She was definitely the highlight of the visit. The only real downside was seeing a few roaches on the wall. I know it's the South and it happens, but it's still not ideal in a dining setting, even in a place that otherwise seemed clean. Overall, Ophelia's has so much charm and potential, and with a few improvements -- clearer menu descriptions, portion adjustments, and addressing the pest issue -- it could be a wonderful go-to spot.

    Now THIS is what I was looking for when I wanted great BBQ!…read more Music Man BBQ was a bit of a drive, but from the moment we walked through the door, the experience felt completely different from another BBQ restaurant we had tried while visiting the area. We were immediately greeted by a hostess and made to feel welcome. The decor is fun and full of personality, with a country music theme that makes you feel like you've wandered into a BBQ joint somewhere between Memphis and Nashville. Then we discovered the best part: it's an all-you-can-eat BBQ buffet! You pay at the register first, grab a plate, and then the fun begins. WOW! The pulled pork was moist, tender and delicious exactly how pulled pork should be. The spare ribs were fall-off-the-bone good, and I especially loved the baked chicken quarters, which were juicy and perfectly cooked. And let's talk about the sides! The collard greens were on point, and adding a little hot pepper vinegar took them completely over the top. The mac and cheese was outstanding rich, comforting and absolutely worthy of a second helping, which happened! And since it's a buffet...why not? But Music Man wasn't finished with us yet. They have dessert! The bread pudding and banana pudding were spectacular. After all that BBQ, I certainly didn't need dessert, but there was no way I was leaving without trying both and I'm glad I did! This is the kind of BBQ restaurant that makes a long drive worthwhile. Great food, plenty of choices, a fun atmosphere, friendly people and excellent value for the money. Music Man BBQ was worth the drive and worth every penny. Run, don't walk you won't regret it!

I brought my neighbor, but unbeknownst to us they are closed on Monday and Tuesday. Well TODAY was the day. I am so glad I came. The barbecue is delicious and Gene's original sauce takes it to another level. I really, really enjoyed the bread pudding and where can you go that has pork skins on the menu! I will definitely be back. I learned a lot of history from Bobbie, my sever. This place has been here for 20 plus years! What a legacy.
