There are not a lot of other restaurants open in the morning, and although we weren't quite ready for a big meal/buffet, we ended up being pretty happy with this decision! This is a no-frills breakfast buffet with probably about 6 to 8 items as your selection, but it is quite a hearty meal. The eggs are not powdered, and the biscuits and gravy were delicious! The men who were serving everyone were very friendly and moved as quickly as possible although the line was a little bit slow since it was a busy time of the morning. It is a little bit of a pricier buffet given the selection, But for the convenience, it was worth it.

That said, once we ordered, the food came out surprisingly fast (5-10 minutes), and they clearly had a solid system in place for how busy they were. It's an order-then-find-a-seat kind of spot. The $15.99 combo special is absolutely the move: a main/sandwich/hot dog, two sides, a drink, and a small piece of fudge. The sides are on the smaller side, but the sandwiches and hot dogs are generously sized, so it balances out. Plus, the fudge at the end is a nice little sweet touch. Plenty of BBQ sauce options that slapped, too. Food-wise, everything we had was really good--flavorful and satisfying. The only hiccup (and the reason for the 4 stars) was with a couple of items. My hot dog was supposed to come with nacho cheese sauce and caramelized onions (I even watched it get rung in), but it came out completely plain. The mozzarella sticks also came out cold, which was not great--especially when you're expecting a cheese pull. When I brought the items back, I was asked if I wanted the mozz sticks microwaved... which was a hard NO. I asked for them to be remade properly which is when an older woman--possibly a manager or owner-- stepped in and did offer to remake them but seemed visibly annoyed. I get your busy, but hey -- my order was wrong so you should probably address that before rushing to the next order. For the hotdog, I told her what was missing and instead of the nacho cheese sauce and caramelized onions that was supposed to come on it, I was handed cold shredded cheese and chopped raw red onions. The food still ended up tasting good, but the reaction to the mistake was disappointing. Overall, it's a solid BBQ spot with great value and good food. I'd recommend it and would go back, though I might try a few other places first. With better handling of small mistakes, this could easily be a 5-star experience.

I got the bbq pork sandwich with macaroni and cheese and slaw. Being a SC girl I had to try the mustard based sauce. Overall everything was excellent. The barbecue had a good smoky flavor and the sauce was on point. The coleslaw wasn't too sweet and went well with the barbecue sandwich. Macaroni and cheese was chefs kiss. I could've eaten a tub of it. The spot also offers coffees and other non-barbecue food items. There's a cute gift shop to pick up something from your visit.

He was the bartender at the time. When we walked in we were the first ones there. When we walked out the place was packed. Food: we had the chicken wings and curly fries. The Cyrillic fries were good but the chickenb wings lacked taste. Atmosphere: nice cozy restaurant with plenty of seating and maybe 10 bar stools. A beautiful fireplace in the middle of the restaurant. Tip: not that much of a selection of beer on tap. We had a blue moon can.. Bathrooms are located downstairs and it does get slippery as to where the snow melts and gets all over, so be careful.

No wait, seated quickly off by a window where there might be a breeze to help move the air. The beer hit the spot and the burgers were pretty good, but for 3 burgers a beer and a couple soft drinks, the place was a bit pricey at roughly $60+tip. Our server was friendly and personable, but not particularly attentive in that he did not come back to see how we were doing if we needed anything etc... and again, I say, the place was not busy. Would not be my first choice of an eatery the next time I'm in the area.
