They close the food portion early (2:30/3), but you can call ahead and the fries are cut fresh. Everything I've had here is good! Also, butcher shop right in the back. I've heard stories about the "real bacon sandwiches" back in the days of old Godfrey when he piled handfuls of bacon on. Still best BLT in SC. Hidden gem. My fam lives double bacon on white nontoasted, but I like the original. No matter what you get: I bet you won't be disappointed!

This place is a serious find, completely off the beaten path about a mile off of Highway 25 a few…read moremiles north of Greenwood, South Carolina. The only reason I found out about it is because my National Guard unit just moved from Abbeville to near Hodges and Ware Shoals. I was making up a missed drill. When you do a make-up, you work with one of the full-time folks and go out to lunch if you want. They took me to Godfrey's. Only locals know about it. Godfrey's is a restaurant, as well as a small market with a few really high quality meats, including their own country ham and homemade sausage. It turns out the sausage is made by a retired National Guard guy who I knew. For lunch, I had fried chicken, recommended by my buddies, and fries. The fried chicken was great, the usual southern batter done perfectly. Fries were also cooked properly. You can also get burgers and the usual fare for a walk up lunch counter. There are also typical grocery items you would find at a small market, mostly necessities, it is the only grocery for probably 10 miles or more. Hodges is tiny. But, the real prize is the meats and pimento cheese. The sausage and pimento cheese are both made there fresh. The sausage is exceptional, ground pork, mildly spiced and very lean. The pimento cheese is the best I have ever had, it has some olive and jalapenos that give it a perfect kick. Godfrey's is worth going out of your way to visit. Eat lunch, get 10 pounds of sausage if that much is available and get pimento cheese. If you could freeze pimento cheese, I'd get ten pounds of that, too. If you like country ham, theirs looks good.

Two stars since the meat does look incredible. 1 star since the customer service has been poor and…read moredismissive. Called three times over the past few weeks to order a Berkshire pork roast for Christmas. 1st time I was told, no problem, call back in a week and we'll order it. The next two times I called back it seemed they had forgotten I'd called. But said they would call me back to let me know when they could get it. I ended up going into the store, and the gentlemen said he would get it tomorrow and he would call when it was in. This was two days ago, and I still don't have a call back. I'm a bit upset the service has been so poor because the meat looks awesome and I've heard good things, but I've had to find another go to butcher.

Placed an order for our monthly home supply. Was shocked when I went to pickup order and order not…read moreready. Was told they were out of several items but would have today. Stated I would pickup total order today. Even went through what time would be good time for return. Shocked to arrive that nothing was ready. Again items missing told they didn't know about order. I was terribly upset by the person behind the counter. In fact this person said for me to leave Tate's didn't need my business. I purchased the items that was gathered by other employees and left. I thought I was doing the right thing by ordering in advance but it seems like it was a waste of my time. The biggest problem is communication between employees. Every employee stated they didn't know anything about my order. Not one person apologized. I'm happy Tate's is doing so well. I will drive to Greenville for a meat market. 6/18 owner called me to say "don't come back". Just like other reviews, great meat but not worth employees attitude. No customer service or communication. I'll drive to Greenville.
