    Alligator bites

    Wonderful food, very nice chef/owner and great location!!! Best restaurant in town for sure!

    Custom ordered salad for the win!

    This place is a phenomenal bistro style grill located on the Main Street in Kershaw SC! I live very close by. My wife and I bought a house in Kershaw and have been visiting the restaurants in the area. We always pass by this place because it is so small. There are a handful of tables inside, BUTTTT.....DO NOT MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE WE DID OF PASSING IT BY. We are regular customers now. This is a few pictures of the Thursday night steak special. There is nowhere else in the state of South Carolina that you can get a ribeye this big and a baked potato this large and a salad and your drink for $15.99. They have a wonderful chef/owner (Christie) who clearly takes great pride in the quality of their food. She is running a tight ship at this restaurant. And it shows in the quality of the food. The waiting staff is super nice and it takes next to no time for you to get your food. I'm also a huge fan of the way they do their salads. They give you a laminated menu with all of the salad items on it and they let you choose with a a dry erase marker what all you want on your salad. Pretty genius. I'm going to stop rambling now so that you can go and try it out for yourself. The steak special is every Thursday night until they run out. Go get yourself one of these bad boys!!!

    Food is good! Recommend getting in early on a Friday because it can get busy and service can be slow. But overall recommend.

    Good food. Fish sandwich is great. However the catfish nuggets were not pleasing at all.

Gabe was clearly busy on a Saturday night but still stayed attentive to our table of six. He walked us through the specials with great detail, offered thoughtful recommendations, and clearly knew the menu inside and out. Food - The reason we came, and it did not disappoint. Our table enjoyed shrimp cocktail, duck spring rolls, rack of lamb, and the King Tut special--every dish was a hit. The large sides were truly shareable for all six of us. The scalloped potatoes, in particular, were incredibly cheesy and scrumptious. Overall - It was our first visit, and we will definitely be back. The only downside was that the hostess seemed visibly overwhelmed by the Saturday night rush, which made the check‑in experience a bit stressful to watch. It might help to give her additional support during peak hours so the front‑of‑house experience matches the excellence of the food and service.

We live in Arizona now, and whenever we are near, we make a point to come back. They open at 6 and close at 9 on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. They have been in business since the 70's. I believe with the original owners. A lot of the foundational materials are the original. Well maintained though. If you plan on coming early, you need to make reservations. You actually need to have a reservation up until about 2000 if you are bothered by waiting. This is a family owned and operated business. Everyone is friendly and works hard to make sure you have a great experience. They have little turnover in the staff too. I've been seeing the same faces for 20 years. The waitresses are hustling and our drinks never came close to empty. Everything runs so smoothly. It's obvious that the back of the restaurant is working as hard as the front. Janelle was our waitress tonight and she's phenomenal. Here's what makes this place irresistible. Their steaks are marinated and cooked to perfection every time on a sizzling hot plate. They cook it a little less than requested because your steak continues to cook while you eat. I like to cut up my steak and roll it around on the steering plate. But that baked potatoes. This is what I dream about when I'm gone. They have a sour cream and butter mixture that is out of this world. It is so good, and they know it, that very few people know the recipe and they bring it in already mixed so that no one can truly figure it out.

    I have been coming to Carolina for many years now. I'm actually embarrassed that this is my first…read moretime leaving a review! I'm even more embarrassed that I never have pictures because I eat everything up so quickly, lol. They have the absolute best steaks in the county. I have never had one that wasn't seasoned perfectly or cooked accurately. The salad bar is very basic, but it's filling. It's definitely a nice start to the meal. The baked potato with sour cream is to die for! Now hear me out. The sour cream is seasoned with an onion & chive mixture that just brings out all kinds of flavors. I used it on top of my steak too! I can only recommend Carolina for dinner service because I hadn't had their lunch, but if its anything like their steaks, I'm certain you won't be disappointed!

And to those of you who write reviews, as I do, you owe it to the staff, management and owners to immediately deal with it. I did not want to make a scene as it was a busy weekend, so I was wrong. I later talked with Tony, one of the owners, who was extremely helpful as we went over the issue. Unfortunately, my bad, there was little he could do to rectify the situation and to determine just why the steak was not to my satisfaction. For whatever the reason, I can assure you, as I did with Tony, that when my wife and I return that is there are any issues I will immediately bring it up to the manager. A good reminder lesson for me. Butcher Shop does have excellent, high quality meat. We will be looking at how the cooking part goes. Could have been a bad night. We will see.

The shop also has a small bar and a small dining area. Friendly staff, nice menu, comfortable atmosphere. Menu specials offered, most of us ordered the meatball lunch with red sauce, mozzarella cheese , fried grits with goat cheese, others ordered a crab cake sandwich, Cuban sandwich, side of mushrooms and a side of hot honey brussel sprouts We all liked what we ate. However for me the fried grit squares had no detection of goat cheese in them and seemed to me not the best addition to compliment the meatballs. The mushrooms tasted standard. However we all loved the hot honey roasted brussel sprouts and I enjoyed them more than the meatballs! Food plately nicely, brought out hot, good portions size. We certainly would return and try somet other menu choices.

The burgers tasted great -- juicy and flavorful. What stood out most was how accommodating they were to my 12-year-old son's gluten allergy. He ordered a hamburger with plain rice, and it was prepared with no issues at all. That level of care gave us peace of mind. The only thing we wished is that they offered a dedicated fryer for gluten-free cooking, so my son could also enjoy their house chips or fries. But overall -- lovely place, tasty food, and a staff who clearly cares about their customers' dietary needs. Highly recommended!

It seems that it has been hit and miss over the past six months or so. We typically stick to the same order for wings, burgers and pork chops. I did order wings as a meal and they came out with my salad and were cold when everyone else's food came. The service is the same... hit or miss. I don't know when we will be back but it will be a while. We had a party of 4 adults and a child and with a tip and bull it was just under $100. It just appears that they are missing consistency.
