I came here October 6 , 2021 with one of my high school friends who now lives in Laurinburg and I live in Las Vegas , Nevada. We were driving around town and reliving those days of growing up in Bennettsville and going to school there. We graduated in 1985 , Green Gremlins ! This was my fathers favorite place to get a footlong chili dog with onions and I would always get a chocolate dipped ice cream cone. So , of course I had to honor his memory and get one. Well they were out of footlongs , so I got 2 regular chili dogs with no onions for me , but we did get onion rings and french fries. I have to say they are still the best chili dogs I've had and I have been all over the country and several countries while in the Army. If you were to can that chili sauce they would make a fortune ! They now have a dining area inside , but we ate outside at one of the picnic tables near the creek. When we were in high school everyone used to ride around Dairy Dream and hangout in the back parking lot, small town living. Back in the days they only had an outside window that you would order your food and pickup from. They had picnic tables outside or you could eat in your car. The selection of food is way more than when I was a kid too. I'm so glad to see they are still in business and a local favorite. So many things from our childhood have disappeared and only live in our memories. The sign is always up high and filled with uplifting bible quotes.

It's a southern style buffet. You pay up front. The staff is very attentive in refilling your…read moredrinks. I wanted to like this place but the food was subpar. Everything is very salty. They had rice, Brunswick stew, peas, collard greens, bread stuffing, sweet potatoes, baked chicken, fried chicken, breaded pork chops, macaroni and cheese, and fried pork rinds. Corn bread, and slices of cake ( red velvet, carrot, lemon, chocolate , are in a separate area.) I had a piece of the baked and the fried chicken. Both were salty, dried out tough, even though the place only opened 40 minutes before I got there. I liked the cornbread and the sweet potato. I chose this place based on its high yelp rating , leaving the interstate . It's the first time yelp failed me.

It was fast, good, and easy (not to mention inexpensive). Stay focused... I am talking about lunch. When you arrive, the parking lot might be full (it was when we arrived), almost always a good sign. You can grab a spot on the street or behind the now mostly defunct main street. When you walk in, you glove up and start serving yourself from the buffet. Someone will take your drink order (ours was taken as we were going through the line), then find a seat. I didn't know what fatback was, but I had already Googled it before we arrived, so I easily identified it. After one bite, I decided my dentist might become richer if I continued to try to chew it. The fried chicken was good but a bit salty. The fried pork chop was good as well, but I would have mistaken it for fried fish if I hadn't read the menu. Smoked sauage, yum. The biscuits looked good, but I took (and ate) the cornbread but would not have known what it was if I didn't have the cheat sheet. The salad bar was primarily lettuce. They had a few salad toppings, but the tongs were short and difficult to use. I suspect most people do not come here for salad. Oh, did I mention dessert? Huge cinnamon rolls and something chocolate with pudding and cookies. It fit the bill for what we were looking for.. a quick, inexpensive sit-down lunch.

I remember when this used to be the Sanitary Cafe and Harry ran the place. He had a small display case with some of his old military stuff in it from when he was in World War 2. I was happy to see the stainless steel wall cover still there behind the counter. I met a friend of mine for lunch on my way to Myrtle Beach. We've been friends since 3rd Grade ! I had the Country Ham Plate with Mac-n-Cheese , Mashed Potatoes and Gravy , Roll , and Sweet Tea. He had the Patty Melt with Fries. I love getting Country Ham when I come home to visit because we can't get it in Las Vegas. It was good , but I have to say the portion was a little smaller than I expected. The Mashed Potatoes and Gravy was good , but the Mac-n-Cheese I didn't really care for. Sweet Tea was on point. My friend liked his Patty Melt and fries. He knew our waitress and she was nice enough to take a picture of us. Bennettsville is still the small town community that I remember and grew up in. I would love to see it grow again like many places have even though all the jobs moved away years ago when the factories moved overseas. My father and I walked the streets of Bennettsville everyday after he got off work and we visited many of the shopkeepers after his first heart attack to give him some exercise. He grew up in Bennettsville and never moved as many of the people that he grew up with. Bennettsville was a tight knit community then and I know the ones that I grew up with still have this place in their heart even being thousands of miles away like me.

There is plenty of space and tables for dining.I ordered the burger and fries. The burger came with onions, lettuce, pickles, tomatoes, and banana peppers with your choice of cheddar or provolone cheese. As you can see, I chose cheddar, and I added bacon. The burger had one small strip of bacon, about two small pieces of banana pepper, and about two small round pickles; it was a bit disappointing because they skimped on those toppings for the size of the burger. Overall, the burger was okay. The fries were like crispy fries. I did like that they were hot. I noticed something was on the plate near the fries, so I didn't eat many after that. I honestly was starving, so I was grateful for the little bit I did eat, but yeah, it was not as pleasing as I would have hoped for in a meal here.

The inside of the restaurant is set up nicely, albeit a little older but still nice. Nothing fancy. The server came around to us almost an immediately and took our drink orders and left us to go through the menu. I knew I was getting a gyro before we even got there but I substituted the fries for rice. My wife got a cheesesteak and fries. Both were delicious. I was actually quite surprised the gyro was as good as it was. The lamb just popped in your mist and the seasonings couldn't be any better. My wife's cheesesteak was probably the best I've tasted anywhere south of Maryland. What separates the cheesecakes here apart from almost every other place I've been to is that they actually season the meat. I'm quite sure that it's the same seasoning they use on the meat for the gyros but I could be wrong. Either way, it was delicious. Definitely worth a swing by if you're in Cheraw.

The food is made fresh and the wait time is not ridiculous. The atmosphere is nice and clean and very welcoming. I ordered the ranch wings basket with macaroni and cheese, and the philly cheesesteak eggroll since they're famous for their eggrolls. The macaroni and cheese was really good. I love that it was flavorful and cheesy, and the noodles were not overcooked. The cut wings were big and dusted with ranch seasoning. They were good, but I have a thing about big wings. The philly eggroll was so flavorful and really good. It's served hot so be careful. The portions are decent as well, especially for the eggrolls. I also ordered a lemonade because I think those are popular as well. They have a variety of flavors that you can add to the lemonade. I chose watermelon and it was absolutely delicious. If I'm back in the area, I may try something different. I overheard others ordering the oxtails so they are probably good and I would be interested in trying them.
