    Came into the place because of the ratings but was a tad disappointed. Upon arrival, everybody seemed very friendly and they were very friendly, but it wasn't that busy and it took them forever to come and just grab our drinks. The one server that was actually our server was talking to a person and went outside to finish her discussion with her and said that the lady inside would be with us. She never came to us as she continued sweeping, but in all honesty, I don't think it was her job to serve us as she didn't ask us to. Now I'm in the food service business so no matter what if I'm not busy or if I'm doing something that doesn't require me serving a guest I'm gonna take care of that guest, but it all depends on how they operate their business. Anyways, we probably waited for about 10 to 15 minutes for the waitress to come ask what we wanted to drink I was able to go to the bathroom and wash my hands. She did come to the table and ask for our drink order, we asked her for waters and she came back two minutes later and asked us what we wanted again and we had to remind her of waters. After ordering our meals, it came back looking great but the flavor was not so great. The fried chick was lightly battered which I absolutely loved and it was juicy and flavorful and not dried out at all. The collard greens were bitter and not cooked enough, I hardly tasted any vinegar that it should be cooked in. And don't get me started on the mashed potatoes. The mashed potatoes. Were definitely powdered mashed potatoes. I was disappointed because it doesn't cost that much to make mashed potatoes. I just had really high expectations for this place and it was just not good. Super cute place. Just not the best place to eat.

    Driving home from Florida. Tired of fast food. Stopped here for some good, local homestyle cooking. Had the beef-tips over rice with collard greens, coleslaw and a peach crisp. Friendly service. Good people. A true slice of America. Highly recommend!

    I always enjoy eating breakfast at summerton diner, their food never disappoint me and the staff is so kind.

    Red chicken stew over rice, macaroni casserole, and fried okra. (Forgot to the the fresh iced tea and peach crisp dessert)

    We stopped by during a road trip , 15 minutes before they stopped serving lunch and they couldn't have been nicer- our waitress was like a Grandmother insisting we come in "from the heat to get something good for lunch.". The service was amazing with traditional southern country cooking. We each had the lunch special for $11 which was a dinner entree with 2 sides and fresh peach crisp and cornbread. Such a deal and the portions were huge, we could have split a plate. The food was good but the hospitality and service was top notch. So nice to meet a server who loves their job and makes you feel at home. Check it out, there aren't too many options along 95 in this area.

We were just passing through Santee SC for an overnight and sought out the Prime Rib dinner at the Lake House. It definitely did not disappoint! All the wait staff were super friendly and helpful.

I gotta say, the OMG Carrot Cake just might be the best carrot cake since I got married so many years ago. Each slice is 4 layers tall and so massive that it's served on a dinner plate.

RVers are a "captured audience" since onecan walk from his or her RV to the restaurant. This is quite convenient. As well, the restaurant is located in a scenic environment. These are the two big pluses. As stated earlier, offerings are not tasty. They are way overpriced for what is delivered. One in our party had Yaya's cut of steak for 35 bucks. Take a look at the picture below and ask yourself a question: would you pay 35 bucks for this? The taste was not there. The portion size was not commencement for the price. Salads are not delivered as salads, but rather a bed of greens slathered with so much dressing that one can barely taste the salad at all. This place is a huge disappointment and a waste of your dollars. Don't bother stopping by.

    Cute little diner in a small southern town. We would come back…read more My first impressions: Small, cozy, friendly, bright and clean. My friend had been here several times over the years and suggested we have lunch here. We popped in on a Tuesday early afternoon. The menu offers typical southern fare, and a solid breakfast selection. Nothing super-extraordinary, and everything familiar. Something for everyone in the family. My friend ordered the burger all-in, and I opted for a buffalo chicken wrap. My friend said that the burger was great, but that the home cut potato discs needed to be drained off a little more (they were very greasy). My wrap had real chicken breast, super fresh, lettuce, and tomatoes, but barely any shredded cheese and zero buffalo sauce for that matter. One of the ladies behind the counter, noticed my questioning facial expression, and immediately asked me if I needed something, and kindly brought me a little cup of sauce. I was amazed that they had regular hot tea (being in the south, tea usually means sweet tea, which I'm not a fan of). Our lovely server was on top of our beverages and brought everything so quickly and with a smile! This place was so clean, from the common dining areas to the bathroom! Gotta love that. Unfortunately this place is not wheelchair friendly (tiny bathroom, even difficult for able-bodied and larger-bodied persons to navigate). Also, sides are extra. My wrap was $10.50... surprising that this doesn't include at least a handful of potato chips or fries. Biggest plus? The sweetest staff and great vibes. The ladies really seem to work together well.

    Mac's Diner is exactly what a proper Southern diner should be--unpretentious, friendly, and full of…read moreflavor. It describes itself as an "easygoing spot offering a menu of breakfast and comfort-food classics," and it delivers on that promise completely. I had the daily special: a fried pork chop with red rice and fried okra. Every bite was perfect--crisp, seasoned just right, and full of that old-school Southern comfort you can't fake. The red rice was deeply flavorful, the okra was golden and crunchy, and the pork chop was everything you hope for when you see it on a chalkboard special. Inside, it's a cozy, classic diner setup with a counter lined with barstools and a few booths nearby, then an adjoining dining room with plenty of tables for larger groups. The big daily specials board is a nice touch and adds to the hometown feel. They serve breakfast and lunch only, closing at 2:30 p.m., and from what I saw, breakfast must be worth the early trip. One of my dining partners ordered a hamburger--it looked phenomenal, thick and juicy, and he was more than happy with it. I also noticed a small dessert selection, including red velvet cake, which fit the Southern theme perfectly. Service was excellent--our server was prompt, polite, and attentive, never letting our glasses dip below half full. On the way out, we met the owner, a very pleasant lady who clearly takes pride in the place. Mac's Diner has a large, free parking lot and an atmosphere that instantly makes you feel at home. I highly recommend it to anyone passing through Holly Hill or anywhere nearby. If I lived closer, I'd be there for breakfast regularly. This is Southern comfort done right.

    Hello, we have been patronizing Clark's for nearly 8 years and compared to many establishments…read morewe've visited throughout our lifetime Clark's has a FEEL none can match. The food is exceptional and has surpassed any expectation regarding cuisine we've experienced in many different restaurants. Regarding staffing, no words can express the sincere professionalism, courtesy, kindness, friendliness, warmth that is received with each and every visit. Namely Danny (irreplaceable), Mark (irreplaceable), Donna (irreplaceable) Melvin (irreplaceable), "Field" (irreplaceable), Jamie (irreplaceable), Olivia (irreplaceable). If we have forgotten anyone, please forgive us but I am POSITIVE they too add a sense of class and elegance to this fine establishment. Our only concern and disappointment is the newly appointed manager by the name of "Lance" who by our personal observation does NOT relate well with the staff and communicates with them in a disrespectful and abrasive manner. He exhibits mannerisms more suitable for a fast-food establishment. In our opinion he is definitely NOT qualified as Clark's material. We considered never re-visiting Clark s restaurant until he was no longer on staff, however staff insisted we return and not let his temperament dampen our experience. For those who frequent Clark's, please continue to patronize this great establishment and enjoy the unique FEEL and AMBIANCE that makes Clark's the beautiful place that it is..... To the owners we wish you blessings and continued success!! And it was a honor and pleasure meeting both Mr. Mrs. Clark in person.
