So I drove 8-10 minutes off 95 for... great value brand coffee. I watched her take the grounds and put them into the espresso maker, and then add the great value milk into a chinet cup (same kind I get at walmart for togo). And for a hot coffee it was $4.59 for a plain hot coffee. Then I got an iced vanilla coffee, the vanilla was also great value brand. I could see the ladies in the back make sandwiches, the shelves were all stocked with great value brand bread and all kind did other items. To say your a cafe and then serve Walmart store brand food is very disappointing to customers. The iced coffee was $7.99 which is way higher than Starbucks and the cup was mostly ice. I am all for supporting mom and pop small businesses!!! But, I also wouldn't do it at the expense of quality. I do not recommend unfortunately. The owner should consider better quality supplies.

Hello, we have been patronizing Clark's for nearly 8 years and compared to many establishments…read morewe've visited throughout our lifetime Clark's has a FEEL none can match. The food is exceptional and has surpassed any expectation regarding cuisine we've experienced in many different restaurants. Regarding staffing, no words can express the sincere professionalism, courtesy, kindness, friendliness, warmth that is received with each and every visit. Namely Danny (irreplaceable), Mark (irreplaceable), Donna (irreplaceable) Melvin (irreplaceable), "Field" (irreplaceable), Jamie (irreplaceable), Olivia (irreplaceable). If we have forgotten anyone, please forgive us but I am POSITIVE they too add a sense of class and elegance to this fine establishment. Our only concern and disappointment is the newly appointed manager by the name of "Lance" who by our personal observation does NOT relate well with the staff and communicates with them in a disrespectful and abrasive manner. He exhibits mannerisms more suitable for a fast-food establishment. In our opinion he is definitely NOT qualified as Clark's material. We considered never re-visiting Clark s restaurant until he was no longer on staff, however staff insisted we return and not let his temperament dampen our experience. For those who frequent Clark's, please continue to patronize this great establishment and enjoy the unique FEEL and AMBIANCE that makes Clark's the beautiful place that it is..... To the owners we wish you blessings and continued success!! And it was a honor and pleasure meeting both Mr. Mrs. Clark in person.

We found Mac's Diner here on Yelp thanks to the smashing reviews. We knew we would add ten miles or so each way but we decided to go have a try. Oh, man - this is one of the best diners I have eaten at in a long time. The place was clean and charmingly decorated, the server Michelle (I think) was fabulous. Coffee was decent, but of acceptable quality (I am a coffee snoberoo). I ordered a bacon and cheese omelet and my wife ordered eggs and corned beef hash. We also heard from the server that the biscuits and gravy were homemade, so we got that as a side. I got french fries with my omelet and they were perfect. Omelet was well cooked and stuffed with crispy bacon and cheese. I was blown away by the corned beef hash. When we get hash, we like it crispy. This hash was - as requested - brutally incinerated with no mercy. It was one of the most delicious things I have ever eaten in a diner. OMG. Perfection. The biscuits and gravy were also amazing. I am also a big fan of this dish and I can tell you that sausage gravy should not be WHITE - this gravy at Mac's was brown and rich and filled with an abundance of sausage bits. It was absolutely heavenly. Take the 30 minute detour if you are coming up or down i-95 in South Carolina - you will NOT be disappointed. Hope we come back some day.

Cute little diner in a small southern town. We would come back…read more My first impressions: Small, cozy, friendly, bright and clean. My friend had been here several times over the years and suggested we have lunch here. We popped in on a Tuesday early afternoon. The menu offers typical southern fare, and a solid breakfast selection. Nothing super-extraordinary, and everything familiar. Something for everyone in the family. My friend ordered the burger all-in, and I opted for a buffalo chicken wrap. My friend said that the burger was great, but that the home cut potato discs needed to be drained off a little more (they were very greasy). My wrap had real chicken breast, super fresh, lettuce, and tomatoes, but barely any shredded cheese and zero buffalo sauce for that matter. One of the ladies behind the counter, noticed my questioning facial expression, and immediately asked me if I needed something, and kindly brought me a little cup of sauce. I was amazed that they had regular hot tea (being in the south, tea usually means sweet tea, which I'm not a fan of). Our lovely server was on top of our beverages and brought everything so quickly and with a smile! This place was so clean, from the common dining areas to the bathroom! Gotta love that. Unfortunately this place is not wheelchair friendly (tiny bathroom, even difficult for able-bodied and larger-bodied persons to navigate). Also, sides are extra. My wrap was $10.50... surprising that this doesn't include at least a handful of potato chips or fries. Biggest plus? The sweetest staff and great vibes. The ladies really seem to work together well.
