Beth's Country Kitchen -- Pageland, South Carolina If you're driving **Charlotte Myrtle Beach**, this spot is a **straight-shot, easy 3-mile detour** that's absolutely worth it. Beth's Country Kitchen sits on its **own lot with plenty of parking out front**, housed in a **quaint, no-nonsense metal building** that instantly tells you this place is about the food, not the frills. And that's exactly how a proper country kitchen should be. I stopped in on a **Tuesday in January**, and the **lunch buffet was straight-up banging**. ### Buffet highlights: * Crispy, well-seasoned **fried chicken** * **Beef and gravy** * **Mashed potatoes** and **rice** * **Mac and cheese** * **Field peas and snaps** (a personal favorite and not something you see everywhere) * Additional vegetables and sides * A **full salad bar** * **House-made desserts** Everything on the line looked -- and tasted -- **homemade**. Nothing felt mass-produced or rushed. This is the kind of food that reminds you of church dinners, family reunions, and Sunday tables. The atmosphere matches the food: **simple, country, welcoming**, and comfortable. Locals clearly know this place, and travelers are lucky when they stumble onto it. **Bottom line:** If you want real Southern country cooking, generous portions, easy parking, and a buffet that actually delivers -- **Beth's Country Kitchen is well worth the detour**. Highly recommended. read more

I had the opportunity to drive through Pageland around lunch time today, and I am so glad that I stopped at Beth's Country Kitchen! The parking lot was PACKED when I arrived, so I already knew it was going to be good. Sure enough I had some of the best cherry pie I've ever eaten! Amazing service and amazing food. It was so good I didn't make the time to take a picture of the food. I saw a Karen on here complaining about the ketchup bottles, so I did make the time to set the record straight- Extremely clean! I will definitely be back next time I drive through read more

Was searching all over Pageland for a breakfast spot, and my friend remembered coming here awhile back. We came in hungry and desperate for breakfast. Right away was greeted with that Souther hospitality and felt relieved to make it in time for breakfast. The service was prompt and friendly, and our order came to us in perfect timing. Thoroughly enjoyed this establishment and appreciative with the great service, warm attitudes, and good food. Thanks for having us! Will be back next time when around the area! read more

Not much to look at, great local place with reasonable prices. Ham club $5.50. BUFFET think $12 or $13. Club was good. Buffet look liked it was good but too much food For me. Service was good. You order upfront hit buffet or they bring the food to you if you order off menu. read more

I cannot, for the life of me, understand how this place has such high reviews. We've eaten there over the years and watched a steady decline in the quality of the food and service while the prices continue to rise. We go so infrequently now because each time we leave, we agree we will never come back. The last time we had breakfast there, all of it was cold. The place wasn't busy and the waitress, who is always there, had her typical, cavalier attitude in full force. She sat this nasty bottle of ketchup on the table as you see it in the picture. She's also notorious for bringing drink glasses to the table held in her hand by the rim. ALWAYS ask for a straw. read more

The best service and Buffet around!! Couldn't ask for a more perfect restaurant!!! Definitely will be back!!

Love the breakfast here. Great Local restaurant and very good service! The setting is clean and more of a country theme. Nice folks here

Love Beth's! Real home cooking and family friendly people! We go on a regular basis and ha v e never been disappointed.

We were traveling the back roads instead of interstate when driving back home and it was time to eat lunch. I looked on Yelp and found Beth's country Kitchen that was located about a I/2 mile off our route. When we pulled up the parking lot was full including some first responder vehicles. We figured any place this crowded had to be good and it was! We will definitely eat here again should we decide to travel the back roads. We might even do so on purpose! read more

Great food, even better service! You are family once you walk through the door! Anything on the menu is great! Try it all!

Cozy, southern spot with a hometown feel. I stopped in for their lunch buffet and it was pretty busy. They have one buffet bar with various items and everything I tried was delicious. The fried chicken was fresh, crispy and perfectly seasoned. The meatloaf was tasty and the toss salad was satisfying. It seems to be a favorite among the locals as there were various people who the employees knew by name. I would definitely come back. read more

Everything was really good and loved the people, had a place to go early in the morning and eat without feeling rushed out I recommend this place . read more

Was working nearby and came for lunch. You walk in and take a plate which you can load up at the buffet table. I was there on a Wednesday and there was fried chicken which was very good. The chicken was moist on the inside and it was light and crispy on the outside. They had typical vegetable and potato sides" dishes and a small salad bar too. Dinner is $10. Lunch is $9. Drinks are $1.50. read more

Food was delicious, I had a western omelet and hash browns with fried biscuits and it was sooo good!

Beth's has consistent all American southern food in a buffet dining style. You can also order burgers and such off a general menu. It is some of the best! There is always fried chicken and then another protein, like fried fish or stew beef. They have great seasonal vegetables like butter beans, collards, fried okra, corn, macaroni, rice & gravy... and they cook them all just as good as Paula Dean can! A raw salad bar with beets and cottage cheese rounds out the bar. And I can't forget the best little biscuits and squares of corn bread. They also have some southern favorites for dessert options. Order togo and they weight it by the lbs. Prompt and friendly service and some of the best sweet tea you can find. read more

Very friendly and welcoming! Would highly recommend stopping and enjoying the good food and excellent customer service.

We stopped here on the spur of the moment as we were driving from Charlotte, NC, to St. Stephen, SC, for the 21 August eclipse. We had been taking country roads to avoid the expected traffic jam along I-77 and I-26. We are so glad we made the decision to try Beth's. We got there just as the Sunday church folks were leaving. (Let the record show that we attended a worship service earlier in the day.) We were warmly greeted by Beth and her staff as we entered. The cost for the all-you-can-eat buffet was $11. The food was uniformly delicious. The crust on the fried chicken was crispy and thin, and the meat was warm, soft, and moist. I saved the spareribs for last because I knew that I would be using my hands. They were the best I have ever had. I could go on and on about the sides. Beth stopped by our table to ensure we were satisfied with our meal. In my opinion, Beth's Country Kitchen is an iconic source of Southern cooking. Trust me. We will make every effort to eat here again if we pass by within a reason distance. read more
