We were warmly greeted as soon as we walked in the door. All of the food was very, very good. As a matter of fact I am going back today! Restaurant was clean and has a comfortable family atmosphere to include an inside old porch style swing. Our waitress was very attentive. You cannot beat the price - $17 weekdays for all you can eat buffet with drink, dessert, and tax included. My new favorite hometown restaurant. read more

Excellent fried chicken and macaroni. Staff is usually very nice. Expect a crowd. Take friends and family. The more, the better. Good home cooking read more

If you want some place where the food is just like your Mom cooked back in the day, then go here. The buffet is a good way to sample everything b/c it's all delicious. It varies day to day what they have for meats and veggies but there are some standards that are always on the buffet. They have a salad bar with a good selection and a wide variety of desserts to choose from IF you even have room. Everything tastes homemade with love. The owner is so nice ad friendly. Truly as asset to an area lacking good quality food! read more

Our First time there food was very good nice variety really good food without braking the bank

The home-cooked food was exceptionally delightful and bursting with robust flavors, making our church's 155th Anniversary truly memorable! The service was outstanding, with the owner attending to us with the highest level of professionalism. The ambiance of the restaurant beautifully complemented our dining experience, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. A heartfelt thank you to the entire staff and kitchen team for their remarkable effort; you did an exceptional job!" Anjanette Hayes - Springfield Missionary Baptist Church member read more

Trotters Restaurant - Buffet plate with sweet tea. Yum! - American Near Me - Clinton, South Carolina

Need to hire more help food is delicious though. The line out the door ridiculous. Good food though

We had a delightful meal in this very clean restaurant with delicious home cooking and a friendly, welcoming, and homey ambience. Will definitely return. read more

Food is good. I can't believe that they charge full adult prices for a10 years old child....which is ridiculous to me. Don't get me wrong, I do know some 10 years old children may eat that much food, but not many. Especially since most kids don't eat a lot of soul food. They love McDonalds!! read more

Great family atmosphere, friendly folks and delicious food. It's a buffet. Now, normally a buffet means quantity but not quality. Get that out of your head. The food is fantastic. If you like fried chicken be sure to arrive very hungry. read more

Very good country cooking place. Solidly attended by the local community so you know it's good.

If you haven't tried Trotters you are missing out, their food reminds me of eating at Grandmas house, Their vegetables are so flavorful none of that store bought can taste here, The fried flounder pork chops and chicken are a cut above, not greasy. You could make a meal off of their old fashion macaroni and cheese, The banana pudding is 2nd to none, so creamy and delicious, So what are you waiting for, load the kids up and hit it, You will be impressed, nothing but the best. read more

Best food in Laurens County...if you haven't been you definitely need to try this place...nice owners and great waiting staff ..

Excellent restaurant for DELICIOUS, fresh home cooking! Kirit (owner) and everyone there is the best at making you feel comfortable and like "Family ". Food is consistently great every time we visit . A true hidden gem in Clinton....GO TRY THEM, you won't be sorry. read more

Food was delicious and service was great! Will be returning. Lots of parking space too. Happy environment.

We stopped on our way through town and we really enjoyed ourselves. The meats and vegetables on the buffet were flavorful and kept us going back for more. My son asked to stop here again the next time we're passing through! Staff was friendly and attentive. read more

On a Sunday drive we happened upon this restaurant. We loved the people and the food was incredible. If you love Southern cooking, you must stop. We will be back. read more

Wow. What a gem of a place. While looking at the outside, we almost left. It looked similar to a metal pole barn. But do t let it fool you. Glad we went in. It's southern style buffet. Very good food. Every dish our party of 7 ate was good. Had no food complaints. The waitress was great. Kept our table clean and drinks filled. She has worked for the owner for 22 years. Fish, chicken,turkey, salads, all the vegetable dishes were awesome. However, the bathrooms were very dirty and needed a lot of attention. read more

Went on a Sunday around 1pm plenty of seating. 2 different big rooms with 2 buffet bars. Same food on both. Great service! Good sweet tea! Drinks were $1.00. Salad bar $8. Salad and food $11.00. My young girls just ate macaroni so they charged $5 each for them. They had several selections of chicken... Breasts, legs, wings, and grilled. They had ham, corn, green beans, macaroni and cheese, potatoes and gravy, Squash casserole, collard greens, deviled eggs, cornbread, and rolls. Desert bar had banana pudding, pumpkin pie, strawberry/jello, pound cake, chocolate cake, and others... Waitress said the pies are homemade my uncle said the pumpkin pie was the best he ever had. Only negative thing is it was really hot in there! It's also 91 degrees outside but I thought they should have make it cooler temperature inside. read more

See all

Me and my family were traveling on vacation about a week ago, and we always love to stop to eat at mom and pop shop style restaurants. We decided to stop in and try Trotters. Most people wouldn't even begin to think about trying to eat at a Buffet, but let me tell you! Trotters is by far the best buffet I have ever had! You can definitely tell that everything was cooked fresh and homemade with some love. The entire menu is warped around classic southern style comfort food, the service was outstanding, super friendly staff, tier 1 safety precautions taken during COVID-19. I will be back to eat here! Great Job, Trotters! read more

Unbelievably reasonable price, very good southern food and friendly people. I paid cash & left generous tips as wife directed me to do. We are just passing by but read more

Very relaxed and comfortable atmosphere. The waitress and the gentleman who greeted us upon entering were very friendly. The waitress was also very attentive. The fried chicken and macaroni and cheese were very my favorites. The other items on the menu were average in taste. I really also enjoyed the Banana pudding. I would revisit if I was passing through the area, but would not make a special trip to visit again. read more

Traditional Southern Buffet, I really enjoyed the sweet potatoes, creamy corn, and rice. I would give them a five, but the ambience does not rise to the level of five although it is more than adequate. read more

Trotters Restaurant - American Near Me - Clinton, South Carolina

This place use to be good when they were along side Pacer's at the motel, however now, since they are out by themselves, this place SUCKS. I fix more for Sunday dinner every week than they have on their food bar. read more

Buffet is full of delicious comfort food, cooked up perfect, not greasy, not over spiced.... really really good eats at a reasonable price. You are going to want to eat here, your going to want to come back. Banana pudding is creamy, your going to want more so scoop big. There is a hidden corner with cakes and pies if you have room, your going to leave stuffed. The turkey and dressing was better than some Thanksgiving meals I have had. Great food!! read more

We went during a slow time which isn't the best time to go to a buffet, but the food did not disappoint. Everything was fresh. The dining room was clean, and the hostess was courteous. The drink situation was a little weird to figure out, as the fountain was right near and to the side of the buffet yet if body language was any indication you weren't supposed to refill your own drinks. A word of advice would be to move the drink machine or post something on it, because it kind of seems like you don't mind people getting their own drinks. Also, there could have been a bigger selection, but overall, for $10 all you can eat, drink, and dessert, not bad. This is a soul food place, not a meat and three, and the difference is in the clientele. I'm pretty sure I'm the whitest person ever to visit this place, and I'll be back if I'm ever in the area. read more

Soul food buffet! The food was good, fresh and hot and the dining area was very neat and clean. Good comfort food. My husband and I passed this place while traveling to Lauren's and decided to give it a try. The food is wonderful and the value is fantastic. read more

The food is great and the people that work there are friendly.Weii worth the ride from Greenwood

I rarely make reviews on Yelp but with my experience at Trotters it would only be right. My husband and I visited this wonderful restaurant on Memorial Day weekend. We are from Greenwood and were not interested in eating at any particular restaurant Greenwood had to offer. I started looking on Yelp for close by restaurants outside on our hometown and found Trotters. I am so glad we did. It is a small reserved restaurant that is decorated so cute and tidy. We were welcomed immediately by the owner who provided us with a booster for our newborn's car seat. "Willie", our waiter was awesome and gave us an "old school, favorite uncle" vibe. He is hands down the BEST waiter me and my husband have ever encountered. The food! Let me start by saying my husband is the definition of a "picky eater". When my husband took a bite of his food and made his satisfaction grunt, I knew then we had found a great eating spot. We enjoyed our meal and experience overall and most definitely will be back. Next time with our 2 year old who will likely clean their buffet out with his favorites (Mac and cheese, mashed potatoes, and chicken). Thank you Trotters for a wonderful experience. Can't wait to return. read more

I don't know how this place has a 4 out of 5 stars. It was awful. The chicken leg was good. I'm not gonna pay $10 to eat a chicken leg. Didn't get a good feeling of it being a clean place either. We actually left and paid for the chicken leg we shared and the food we didn't eat so we could go some else. read more
