This a hamburger and hotdog place. Been around for decades. The interior is full of antiques. The burgers are homemade with excellent beef and the lettuce, tomato and onions are very fresh not limp like other burger places. The onion rings are crispy and not oily. Coke products served. Nostalgic place with family feel And family owned Prices are comparable to other burgers establishments. Better tasting food than other burger joints. Support your local restaurants. Bon apitito! read more

Amazing food considering the exterior appearance, we have been told by many other people that it was very good. When we finally got to experience it for ourselves it was excellent. Service and food was surprisingly good. We will definitely be back. There is no fair comparison to other burger places, it is far superior especially when you consider price. read more

Mac Smith's isn't just a country store anymore--it's a Pendleton institution. This is the place folks from Sandy Springs, Five Forks, and Lebanon have been coming to for years, and once you eat here, you'll see why. The burgers are juicy and cooked just right--no frills, no fluff, just that perfect magic. And the bird dogs? I once heard they were invented right here in Anderson County, and if that's true, Mac's feels like exactly the kind of place that would've done it first. Crispy chicken, soft bun, melty cheese, and honey mustard... absolutely hits the spot. The sweet tea is ice-cold and perfectly sweet, the way it oughta be, and the folks behind the counter are just as friendly as you'd hope in a small-town Southern spot. This isn't some flashy roadside stop--it's a piece of local tradition, the kind of place you keep coming back to because it feels like home and tastes even better. read more

Mac's is a great lunch spot for everyone in my family. We have enjoyed this place for years, from the main sandwiches to the sides. Highly recommend stopping by! read more

Best hot dogs in the area, but that's not saying a lot. Good burgers too. I DO have to mention that during Covid , they did not take any precautions and were not truthful when my wife called to ask, as she is diabetic and cautious! That may be a deal-breaker for some people. read more

Not a store. Very good local restaurant in an old country store. Always appears to be packed, but very fast considering they cook to order. Not a fast food place at all, everything is good quality and clean. Best macaroni and cheese burger around, but probably the only macaroni and cheese burger around also. read more

Time stands still at this little clean lunch spot located on a country road in SC. The food is awesome and the folks are friendly!!

Clean, cozy, family run. A petite burger joint that brings you back three generations. It's definitely not pretentious. If you're wanting good burger at a crossjunction in the middle of farmlands, close to nowhere famous... This is it! The burger patty (we had cheeseburger) was juicy with crisp sides. The onion rings were amazing. It was overall a fabulous meal for us. read more

This is the best country store, atmosphere and food I've ever had. I can get really good burgers here. You can get really good plate dishes here you can get a very good chicken here I have to say that my go to is either the burgers or a couple hotdogs with chili and onion and mustard on them. read more

One of the most amazing experiences in the least expected area or location. Just like the owners statement, what they "feel" they lack in ambience, they make up for in the quality of their food. Their selection, portions and quality are outstanding! We went and enjoyed burgers today, I got the cheeseburger with bacon and that came with a side of fries and a drink for $7. Hubby ordered the burger with mustard and lettuce. He added a side of coleslaw to his combo. They are generous with their fries and the size of the burgers are large so come hungry . Ambience was country store style, and very welcoming. When you arrive, you walk up to the cashier and place your order using the menu board-perfect amount of options. Staff is super friendly- they will bring food out to your table - they cook everything when ordered so it is FRESH. Love this place and we will be back! read more

I had lunch here today and it was the first time I have ever eaten here. I got the cheeseburger combo with onion rings and tea. It was served quickly and WOW! It was awesome. This is an hour from where I live but somehow someone that I know walked in. He said that he eats lunch there almost every day. He got the BLT. I highly recommend this restaurant. read more

Hidden gem! If you want a delicious burger, bird-dog, or fish sandwich in a rustic country store that has been a staple of the Pendleton, South Carolina community then this is your place.

It's absolutely to-die for, although if you're watching your butter intake, perhaps try something else. read more

I didn't know 'old time burgers' were still available! O.K., ~ I'm old, but I do remember getting in my youth a properly prepared hamburger. What could be any different today considering it's only a bun, ground meat, 'mator, lettuce, onion and mustard/mayonnaise? Whatever it may be, at Mac Smith's you get a perfectly seared, hand-patted burger generously laced with condiments. Burgers in my youth at the local 'Kum Bak' was 39¢ and today considerably more, but the burgers back then could not have been any better than what we found today at Mac Smith's. Enjoy your ride back into the past finding this crossroad joy-to-behold setting. Open only Tues-Sat 10-4:00. read more
