Camden is halfway between my parents and my house and we often meet in between for lunch when we…read morehaven't seen each other in a while. This time, we stumbled upon this adorable drive in. It was everything we wanted...EVERYTHING. The restaurant was adorable, the service was fast, friendly and above and beyond. The cute cashier answered every question we had about even the simplest thing on the menu. And the food. The food was beyond what you would expect when you walk through the door. My dad got a slaw dog that came with chili, onions, and a bunch of other things on it. My mom got a hamburger all the way and french fries - She could only eat about half of it. My husband got a triple burger with french fries which he raved about. And I got the grilled chicken Philly with mozzarella cheese and grilled onions that was so delicious that i only wish that I'd ordered a second one just so I would've had more leftovers. The portions are perfect and a little on the larger side so we took leftovers home. You have the option with each meal for two sides. And you can either double up on fries or do like I did and get fries and a mini side salad. I would go here again and again. I've mentioned it to a few people that have also raved about this place as well. What a hidden gen and what a great place when you're in the area. You will not be disappointed!

Stopped into Blackmon's at 10:45am on a Saturday. That's not too early for a hot dog, I promise…read moreyou. But I may be the only one of that opinion as I was the only person there at the time. When I walked in, the phone rang with a to go order. The gentleman taking the order rolled his eyes a few times as he took the order. Glad they couldn't see that over the phone but not a great customer experience. He gruffly took my order and I went and find a table in the open restaurant. The lunch rush started once I sat and the phone was ringing consistently and a regular stream of folks came into the restaurant many greeting "Mr. Blackmon" at the counter. :/ My name was shouted and I went and grabbed my hot dog and tater tots. As others have acknowledged, the hot dog chili is REALLY watery. With an untoasted bun, I assumed that the bun wouldn't last two bites. However, I was pleasantly surprised. The pimento cheese in the bottom must protect the structural integrity of the bun. I was really pleased. The pimento cheese and the chili really tasted good together. The tater tots were nicely crispy but unseasoned. Though I enjoyed my meal, I think I'd go elsewhere if I return to Camden just due to the attitude of the gentleman at the counter.

We had heard that the restaurant had changed ownership and now has a different menu. You used to…read moreorder at the bar and take a seat. Now it's more of a true restaurant. Not too many tables in the main room (I think maybe 6 or so) and they have the Company store side apparently for banquets. Still have the old screen porch that you could eat at but today nobody was out there. They are open for lunch and dinner. Friday and Saturday nights til 9:00 PM. The menu surprised me. They have a good assortment of starters - fried pickles, fried okra, hush puppies, and more. I ordered the BBQ pork on Texas Toast, Fries and Cole Slaw with unsweetened ice tea. Everything was excellent. Big Al's BBQ sauce was very good. Almost like a combination of North Carolina and Tomato based...not sure, but very good. My wife and I both liked the sauce. It's not thick and was served in a sqeeze bottle. The Cole slaw was great. Not your typical Cole slaw that is sweet. My wife took a bite of my sandwich and cole slaw and loved both of them. She ordered a quarter chicken dinner. It came with three sides and she chose salad with Vinegariette dressing, green beans, and the hash and rice (she said mainly so I could try it). The chicken was great. Quarter chicken with wing and very moist. The green beans were perfect. I like the southern style green beans - my wife likes the al dente. These were my style. The BBQ Hash and rice was also very good. Her dinner also was served with a regular bread roll. The waitress was very prompt in seating us and taking the order. We were served in probably 5-7 minutes after ordering. Very fast. We'll definitely go back. They currently don't have beer or wine but have put in for their license. RIght now they do not have any fish or shrimp on the menu but are looking to add shrimp and a low country boil in the near future. It's a nice ride out to Rembert and a great little trip from NE Cola for a relaxing lunch or dinner. Try it...you'll like it.

I have eaten breakfast, lunch and dinner at the boykin mill store and I have yet to be disappointed. It's a country store with yellow grits lining the shelves (for sale) that are from the mill across the street. The grits are served with many meals, but my favorite is the shrimp and grits. There are a variety of different items to choose from. Along with the food and atmosphere, comes the staff. They make you feel special and very welcomed and will make you feel like fanily. I love this place and would recommend it to all ages!! I'm going tonight for dinner, to relax and have a beer and listen to some good ol boys play some good ol music! Which by the way, play just loud enough.

However, I got the country fried steak with mashed potatoes and lima beans and was not impressed. They did not have white gravy which every other place I have ordered country fried steak offers. The server said white gravy is only available at breakfast. The steak itself was almost perfectly round. Ut tasted bland. The potatoes tasted like they were out of a box. Th lima beans were not much better. Given all I had read about tis place on Facebook and now the reviews I see on here, I was really surprised. It wasn't that great. I'm willing to give it on more try, maybe at breakfast next time.

The rice & peas (which, for my southern friends, was essentially red beans & rice) were so good, and the plantains were the star of the meal. My husband's jerk chicken was also fantastic and just the right amount of spicy. I loved it all, and for just a few minutes, hubs & I were back in Jamaica.

"Retreat? More like Retreat from Flavor."…read more If you're looking for a place with gorgeous views, a nice interior, and food that tastes like it was prepared by a distracted toddler with access to a microwave -- look no further! Let's start with the espresso martini, which arrived looking like it had just lost a bet with a gallon of skim milk. It tasted like someone whispered the word "coffee" into a glass of dairy and then threw in three coffee beans to give the illusion of effort. Fancy? Sure. Flavorful? Absolutely not. I've had stronger coffee vibes from a candle. Didn't get any appetizers, probably a blessing in disguise. Straight to the pasta, which came out looking like it had just been scooped out of a kid's menu at a bowling alley birthday party. Imagine Chef Boyardee got promoted and immediately overcharged for it. That's the vibe. As for the service, it was slow enough that I had time to consider starting a new life as a lake hermit. When it came time to pay, I literally had to write down my order to help the server -- who then still managed to create a culinary version of musical chairs with our table's meals. Everyone got someone else's dish, which might've been fun if it were a potluck. It was not. The scenery? Gorgeous. The inside of the restaurant? Super nice. Honestly, if they'd served the ambiance instead of the food, this would've been a five-star experience. But alas, The Retreat truly lived up to its name -- I retreated straight to the nearest gas station for a Lunchable and some dignity.

My wife ordered it while I was at work so I didn't get to eat the food till hours later. If it was this good hours later and heated in a microwave I could only imagine how good it would of been fresh. The portion size was insane! I will upload pictures the next time as I didn't think to take any. I guarantee you don't get a portion size as bug anywhere else. I wish I could give this place more then 5 stars. 2nd time here wasn't quite the same experience as the first. The portion size was still amazing, the bun wasn't toasted like last time which was kind of disappointing. The sub wasn't horrible and still pretty good overall. I had gotten a order of mozzarella cheese sticks. The outside looked good, looked heavily fried which was fine. Unfortunately they was fried for to long and their was no cheese inside 5 of the 6. The one had some at one end of the mozzarella sticks. It's the only let down of this order overall.
