    Small Fried Chicken Plate with Okra and Collard Greens
    Julie Ying X.

    I came here on a Tuesday afternoon for takeout lunch with a group of 3 people. We went to the drive thru. We ordered 3 plates: small fried catfish with coleslaw/okra, small fried chicken with potato salad/green beans, and small fried chicken with okra/collard greens. For the fried chicken, you can request dark or white meat. All the plates came with hush puppies as well. It's a lot of food for a small plate for about $5 so it was super cheap. The food was fresh and delicious. The staff were very nice and helpful. The place was pretty popular so definitely recommend coming early before the lunch rush. I would definitely come back if I'm in the area.

    So.... this place is absolutely incredible. This is the definition of a 'hidden gem' and I hope it stays that way forever. We are driving from NY down to Florida and needed to get our craving for southern food satisfied, and oh boy did Paulines Place do just that. To start, this place had locals waiting in line at the walk up counter and drive through (make sure you know what you want before ordering at the drive through). We did went the walk up route. We ordered a small platter of each: hot chicken wings (phenomenal), bbq (pulled pork) unreal and very tangy as they used a vinegar based sauce and then catfish (best I have had, and I've had a lot). A couple things to note. 1) you get 2 sides with all platters. 2) bbq is just pulled pork but some of the best I have had. 3) they take cash and credit 4) make sure you stop here. If you don't, you messed up.

    The BBQ was not good. It tasted like it was left over from the night before and had too much vinegar in it.

    Found a hair in my food . They replaced it but I was so sick to my stomach and being pregnant too just made it worse. I never returned.

    Great place for Eastern NC BBQ and fried chicken. Food is much better than Smithfield and a damn sight cheaper.

The staff was very friendly, the service was good...I had takeout but the restaurant is a buffet inside. It clearly is a place the locals enjoy and it is an easy stop if you are on the way to the beach. All in all, my favorite was actually the hot dog. The chili was excellent and the slaw had just a touch of sweetness. The BBQ was well prepared, just not my favorite style or taste profile...a bit too much twang. I would recommend Shuler's if you are in the area and look forward to trying other items the next time I return.

    Shuler's is located off I-95, Exit 181A heading towards Marion and Myrtle Beach. You have to drive…read morea mile or so from the exit but it's easy to spot. The place is a large wooden building that resembles something that would have been built in the 1870's. There are a few bench's and chairs on the front porch to relax in after eating or if you need to wait for a table. They have a general store with some interesting items as well. Schuler's is a buffet style barbecue and all you can eat. Their pulled pork is their best meat. I wasn't really impressed with their ribs though. Don't get me wrong, the were pretty good but I certainly wasn't blown away. Their fried chicken is good but again not much different from most buffets in South Carolina. Their collards are nice and they do offer hash. If you're thinking corn beef hash, it's not that. It's a BBQ or liver hash and it's definitely an acquired taste. I usually put it over rice if I get it. Hash was highly popular in South Carolina for many years. It can't hurt to try it as Schuler's is actually pretty good. Not my favorite barbecue in the area but it's cool place with great people.

    Shuler's BBQ - Hash on the bottom left. No, not like corned beef hash. This is BBQ hash. It's sort of an acquired taste. Not a big fan.

When we pulled in, we quickly found out that this is not your typical restaurant establishment. It is located in what seems to used to be a shed, which stirred the thought in my mind that we shouldn't be eating here. But, my dad was committed and determined to try it out, and I followed along. When I walked in, I felt that I was in the 80s (hence the lone TV in the corner playing movies via VHS tapes). You can sit wherever you would like, and are given a short menu. We both got sweet teas, which I thought had a weak flavor, but my dad liked. Our server was the waitress, food runner, cashier, hostess, and everything in between. Despite this, she did a pretty great job at keeping everyone satisfied. I ordered the flounder plate, while my dad ordered the dark meat chicken plate. All plates come with fries, coleslaw, hush puppies, and a Kings Hawaiian roll. My flounder was mostly good, although one piece had a metallic taste. I requested 1 flounder, but they gave me three! How generous. My dads chicken was better than my flounder. The hush puppies are ok in my opinion (good, but not the best), I don't like coleslaw so I didn't try any, and the fries are very greasy but are good. The customers are either travelers off of the highway or interstate or are country locals. There were good people, laughs, and vibes going on at the country corral. I do think that the food could improve a bit, but because of the value for the amount of food you get, the people, the customer service, and the experience, Roys gets a 4/5 instead of a 3/5.
