They close the food portion early (2:30/3), but you can call ahead and the fries are cut fresh. Everything I've had here is good! Also, butcher shop right in the back. I've heard stories about the "real bacon sandwiches" back in the days of old Godfrey when he piled handfuls of bacon on. Still best BLT in SC. Hidden gem. My fam lives double bacon on white nontoasted, but I like the original. No matter what you get: I bet you won't be disappointed!

This place is a serious find, completely off the beaten path about a mile off of Highway 25 a few…read moremiles north of Greenwood, South Carolina. The only reason I found out about it is because my National Guard unit just moved from Abbeville to near Hodges and Ware Shoals. I was making up a missed drill. When you do a make-up, you work with one of the full-time folks and go out to lunch if you want. They took me to Godfrey's. Only locals know about it. Godfrey's is a restaurant, as well as a small market with a few really high quality meats, including their own country ham and homemade sausage. It turns out the sausage is made by a retired National Guard guy who I knew. For lunch, I had fried chicken, recommended by my buddies, and fries. The fried chicken was great, the usual southern batter done perfectly. Fries were also cooked properly. You can also get burgers and the usual fare for a walk up lunch counter. There are also typical grocery items you would find at a small market, mostly necessities, it is the only grocery for probably 10 miles or more. Hodges is tiny. But, the real prize is the meats and pimento cheese. The sausage and pimento cheese are both made there fresh. The sausage is exceptional, ground pork, mildly spiced and very lean. The pimento cheese is the best I have ever had, it has some olive and jalapenos that give it a perfect kick. Godfrey's is worth going out of your way to visit. Eat lunch, get 10 pounds of sausage if that much is available and get pimento cheese. If you could freeze pimento cheese, I'd get ten pounds of that, too. If you like country ham, theirs looks good.

This business was Northwest Processing prior to selling to these folks. Last year I brought a…read morecouple deer to them to little success. Half of the vacuum sealed bags were not sealed and the meat requires far more trimming than ever before. I was going to use them again today due to location and drove there to find a sign in the window that they were not taking deer. In over 20 years of using the previous owners I can't remember once that happened. Maybe they are doing their beef or don't have employees but it is a bummer.

Called three times over the past few weeks to order a Berkshire pork roast for Christmas. 1st time I was told, no problem, call back in a week and we'll order it. The next two times I called back it seemed they had forgotten I'd called. But said they would call me back to let me know when they could get it. I ended up going into the store, and the gentlemen said he would get it tomorrow and he would call when it was in. This was two days ago, and I still don't have a call back.
