Burger lunch special

Courtesy's BBQ in Clover absolutely won me over this time around. I ordered the lunch value meal burger with an extra patty, and it was an excellent deal. The plate came with a very generous portion of hush puppies and crinkle-cut fries, all served hot and fresh. The burger was juicy, flavorful, and satisfying, especially for the price. The atmosphere was great, and service was timely and friendly. For $7, this is hands down the best value for a burger in Clover. I'll be honest: I ate here once during the pandemic and didn't really enjoy it. But the renovations and updated offerings have completely changed my opinion. This visit was a huge improvement, and I thoroughly enjoyed the meal. I'll definitely be coming back.

Had the BBQ plate with hush puppies and red slaw. We had a large crowd so a couple waitresses took care of us. Both were great. Nothing real fancy with furniture or decor.

Not my favorite but I know everyone has different taste buds when it comes to BBQ. I was hopeful this was going to be a hidden gem since we were in the tiny town of Clover. We stopped for lunch. We were seated immediately. The waitress was nice but didn't seem thrilled to be there. We told her it was our first time there and asked for appetizer recommendations. She just shrugged her shoulders and said she liked the eggrolls. We went with the cheese curds. I ordered the BBQ pork sandwich which came with fries. I was hoping to get some potato salad with it. When I asked her about it she told me it's not made there. I immediately said no. That's disappointing a BBQ place doesn't make their own potato salad. The pork was ok a bit chewy for me. They put sauce on the pork already which I want a fan of. I did like the hushpuppies. You can tell this place has been around for a long time. It gives off country old fashioned vibes.

Tried for the first time despite living in the area over 15 years. The service was great. As soon as we sat down, the server took our drink order quickly and then took our meal order. The atmosphere was fine. Our food was good. The bbq sauce was tasty. I had the bbq chopped chicken plate with potato salad and fries. There was some pieces of hard cartridge in the chopped chicken which was breast meat. The fries and potato salad was delicious. My husband enjoyed his bbq sandwich. He said the hushpuppies were delicious and how he liked them. Lots of food for the price.

Courtney BBQ DISH.  The meal prep left a lot to be desired.

I just received the "BARBECUE" issue of CHARLOTTE MAGAZINE in the mail yesterday, and Courtney's BBQ was one of the 13 BBQ restaurants written about. I figured that if CHARLOTTE magazine is featuring a full page write up about a restaurant with color photos, the restaurant must be good. Boy, was I wrong! We arrived on Friday evening a little after 6 PM to a half empty parking lot. There was a couple ahead of us at the hostess stand waiting, but no hostess. There were 2 cashiers across the aisle observing this - but no action on their part. One of the customers went into the main dining room to find her. She was in a corner chit-chatting with 2 other employees. She came out to the waiting area, gathered the 4 of us and seated us at our tables. Our waitress came right over. All went as it should. The hush puppies came out, and they were perfect. Hot and crunchy on the outside while warm and flavorful on the inside - slightly sweet with a mild taste of onion. Then our dinners came out - what a letdown. I ordered the large BBQ plate. The pork BBQ was from 2 different batches. One part was finely chopped and tasted of refrigerator, and one part tasted of fresh pulled pork. The dichotomy between the two was striking. The fully loaded potato had been prepared hours previously including the cheese and bacon. The potato flesh was translucent. The collard greens were BLAND. They were just boiled greens lacking any seasoning. To top it all off, everything was between Luke warm and room temp. GROSS. I looked for the waitress and found her in the same corner where the hostess was found chit chatting with 3 other employees. I told her the issue. I returned to my seat. She called an employee from the kitchen to get the plate and warm it up. He returned with the plate only barely warmer than when it went into the kitchen. My dining partner ordered the 1/2 rack of ribs. They were hot and flavorful, but the fire under them had been uneven and he could not eat part of the flesh as it had dried on to the bone. He had the same poor excuse of a potato and the fried okra. Overall it was a poor dining experience and one which we will not repeat. It was too much money for good hush puppies. Gene Courtney prides himself on placing 8th in the Kansas City. American Royal Invitational for his BBQ. It is time to stop living in the past and examine your restaurant carefully As for CHARLOTTE magazine, I think you need to do your homework a little better before writing about restaurants in the area. Your readers rely on you for accurate reporting

Pier 51 is an older seafood restaurant at the south end of Lake Wylie in Roch Hill. It's a rustic…read morerestaurant with real down home service and a traditional salad bar. The servers are really sweet and it sort of feels like being in a time capsule. The menu is all seafood with the few land based offerings. You won't find anything fancy here. The seafood is either fried or broiled. they season things well. However, the portions are crazy. They pile it on! I tried the fried seafood platter. I received flounder, clams, shrimp, oyster, and deviled crab. Are you kidding me?! It's a huge meal for $23. You can't beat the value. I admit I'd like the food to be a little more seasoned. However, I can say the devil crab is really good. I tried a similar meal the second time I went, but this time I had it broiled. I only had the flounder and shrimp this time. Again, a huge portion came out the shrimp were well seasoned, but you really need the cocktail sauce to put it over the top. I wasn't as big a fan of the flounder this time. The salad bar is good. It's very traditional and you won't find anything really unique here, but it is fun to have a salad bar. I sort of missed them when they disappeared. The ladies who provide service are just really sweet. They clearly have regulars, but they treat newbies really well. They always invite you back, which is a sweet thing to do.

Having grown up on City Iskabd in the Bronx and moving to the fort Mill area, I was shocked by the…read morelack of fresh seafood in the area. Are we THAT land locked? They have planes now that can deliver super fresh seafood. Just sayin. City island was famous fir their seafood restaurants and fried fish shacks. I had a craving for some fried shrimp. I found Pier 51 and saw that the had something I hadn't seen since I moved here......Sea Scallops. I ordered a combo of fried jumbo shrimp and fried sea scallops. All I can say is YUM! Reminded me of home. Perfectly fried scallops are hard to find. This restaurant just gets it and the scallops were sheer perfection. The tarter sauce was fresh and tasty and the baked potato (which I ordered fully loaded but just got a plain one) hit the spot. I think the portions are huge for the price and I have been back two more times since my first visit. They don't have a bar where you can have a cocktail whilst waiting for your food but who cares because you call ahead and pick up at the drive thru. Highly recommend.

Baked potato was done to a turn. Butter and sour cream was on table in abundance and convenience! Shrimp was cooked perfectly. Beautiful light golden brown! Best I have had in years. I ordered a small and got 9 butterflied shrimp! Everything appears clean and cared for with the exception of the entrance doors which need replacement and are well weathered. One other observation. The sign next to the entrance is not designed well. It is hard to see and is camouflaged into the background vegetation. A more modern sign with some "pop" may draw attention to this restaurant and German architecture!

Nice old building with European design attributes. Front door needs some work. Appears sun damaged…read more Interior, although somewhat dated, was clean and well cared for. Service was prompt and was consistent throughout the meal. Drinks were delivered quickly with hush puppies, which were excellent! Didn't have to wait long for main meal. My wife had flounder and sweet potato, which she liked very much and they had brown sugar for her sweet potato! She really appreciated that because most places do not have brown sugar. My meal was excellent! I had fantail shrimp, although they were actually butterflied shrimp, and they were prepared great. Soft, tender and cooked to a perfect gold color. Best I have had in a long time. Baked potato was cooked well and I like that the butter and sour cream is in a basket on the table so you don't have to beg waiter for more! I'll be back!
