It is something you never thought you needed. This is a great place to eat, fries and a burger, or dumplings and sauce to go with them, I haven't tried the other things on the menu, but I bet they are all as great as what I have already tried, The menu is very descriptive, some ingredients on the burger have some HEAT so you know to BEWARE! Or stay away from the jalapeños,my husband tells me he has pain twice when he eats anything too hot. so that's TMI really. The food is fantastic

I went in the Farmer's Market first. It looks like an old barn. There were lots and lots of homemade choices- "canned" soup bases, fruits, vegetables, salsas, jams, flavored oils to name a few. There were also fresh fruits, nuts, honey, vegetables, dairy products and cakes. There are four areas you can eat. The main "restaurant" is small with only a few tables. Evidently it's a favorite of older local gentlemen to gather for an early breakfast. There is also the "Pig Sty," "The Chicken Coop" and the farmer's market area. Some of these can be cold in the winter and warm in the summer so dress accordingly. The farmer's market area is heated by a wood stove. The staff here are so friendly. It felt like we were visiting family. The food was good ole country food. The hubby and I each ordered the breakfast plate. I had coffee with my choice of several flavored creamers. If you pay in cash you get a discount. If you are in the area you should check it out. You can order from the breakfast or lunch menu. Plan to stay a few extra minutes and look around and support local farmers. We brought home some boiled peanuts. Fun experience and good breakfast.

Very crispy batter and nice fresh cod. No desserts available either. I would have tried the Bread and Butter pudding Bathrooms were extremely clean and tidy.

I…read morehad really hoped that I would leave giving rave reviews of this restaurant, but I just can't do it. The property overlooks the Hartwell Marina, and the front porch is adorable with its rocking chairs and windows to the bar. Inside, it's a deliciously divvy atmosphere with mismatched tables and chairs, high and low ones, and barside seating. They offer live music most (all?) nights that they are open. Always a bonus! I started with a craft cocktail of cucumber something but traded it in for a gin and tonic. My husband ordered his ushe of fried shrimp with onion rings and home fried potato chips. He said the shrimp was good and the onion rings and fried chips were as well. He would not eat the hushpuppies. We both found the outer shell to be tasty, but inside a bit tacky and without much flavor. I ordered grilled grouper which I felt came off the heat just a tad early for my taste. It was fresh enough, though. The green beans I ordered were right out of the can, but the mac & cheese was good. It is not grandmas's homemade fare, but if you like pasta and you like gooey cheese, you'll like this. In general, everything just needed some seasoning and a tweak. My husband ordered a chocolate chip cake which was their dessert offering for the day. It was delicious. Our service was pretty good, and I would give them another try.

Iama Critic Rating - Cookout - 4 Stars 3432 Clemson Boulevard, Anderson, SC Overall: You want cheap decent fast food? This is the place! Blows away most value fast food chains. But wow, their food sure ain't pretty! And beware the hidden charges for cheese, tomatoes etc. And why do they require that you purchase drinks with each combo. Do I really need three drinks? $2.90 - Cajun Chicken Tray - 4 Stars I ordered this sandwich with a chicken wrap and a cheese enchilada. This is a lot of flavor for under $3.00. However, they do require you to buy a $1.70 drink so I guess the price is really $4.60. $3.40 - Big Burger Tray - 4 Stars I ordered this sandwich a corn dog and a bacon wrap. What a combo! However, they do require you to buy a $1.70 drink so I guess the price is really $5.10. $2.90 - BBQ Tray - 4 Stars I ordered this sandwich with coleslaw and hush puppies. Only the coleslaw fell below four stars. However, they do require you to buy a $1.70 drink so I guess the price is really $4.60. read more

The wings were way overdone and cold when they arrived - I've had beef jerky that was more tender. Somehow, they were still tasty - just really hard to chew - anyone who has had dental work - beware! Burgers were well seasoned but also waaaaaaay over cooked - imagine the patty well done then cooked a couple more times just to make sure it was really dead. Maybe I needed to specify I prefer my burger slightly juicy when I placed the order? I will say this - the place looked clean. Their ketchup bottles were labeled with dates showing when the bottles were opened. The soda machines looked clean and counters/tables did as well. I don't think the $54 bill was reflected in the quality of food. So sad. I was hoping this one was going to be a winner.

We came from Clemson to attend a play in Pelzer and decided to have lunch here first. It is not a destination restaurant. The menu is very chicken heavy. Started with 8 smoked wings as an appetizer, bbq sauced with a side of hot sauce. Received 4 bbq wings and 4 hot wings. Now the wings were smoked nice and very good. Both ordered half-and-half tea. I received unsweetened. They had meatloaf as a Sunday special. I got it, mashed potatoes and gravy, cornbread, and a side salad. The side salad was really nice and worth ordering. The cornbread was jalapeño cornbread, but not described that way on the menu. The mashed potatoes and gravy should not be ordered. Period. They were both reconstituted, fake and a tiny portion. The meatloaf was a good size portion, but tasted like a seasoned hamburger. Thankfully the bbq sauce on the table saved it. Her chicken salad sandwich was good and a nice size portion, but again it was different than described on the menu. She said it tasted like smoked chicken. The banana pudding was very unremarkable but looked nice. We might give it another try if we're in the area and hungry,but it's not in the "let's remember this place" list.
