The banana pudding was a complete miss for me. I honestly wouldn't consider it traditional banana pudding. The texture and taste just weren't there, and I would skip it altogether. Ironically, the most enjoyable part of the meal was the store-bought rolls with the honey for dipping. Fresh food is a great start, but Southern food is about flavor.

I visited in March when I was vacationing and visiting family in NC and SC. I grew up in Bennettsville in the 70's and 80's , not far from here. My family never went here , so this was my first time trying it. I was told by many people in the comments of my videos that it's not the same as it was years ago. I guess they don't put honey in the batter anymore , supposedly because some people may have allergies. I was also told you can ask for honey to put on yourself , but I wasn't told or offered honey for my chicken when I ordered it. I ordered a 2 piece white , with rice and gravy , mashed potatoes and gravy , roll , banana pudding , and a soda. I was happy they gave me 2 breasts instead of a breast and wing. The breast were kind of small , but with the rest of the meal it filled me up. The chicken was okay , not juicy but not dry either. I was disappointed the batter had no honey flavor , but as I said I didn't know that they no longer put it on the batter , you have to ask for a side of honey. After I was finished my meal , I passed a gentleman at his table putting honey on his so I was like dang it ! The rice and gravy was kind of bland and so was the mashed potatoes and gravy. I did add pepper to both. The roll was your standard pre-made roll not homemade. Banana Pudding was a huge disappointment. Southern banana pudding is supposed to shine , but this tasted like out the box bland pudding with some Nilla Waffers on top and No Bananas. The dining room was clean except the drink fill area could've used a wipe down. There are some old posters of Yogi Bear cartoons and a stuffed Yogi Bear near the front counter above the Boo Boo boxes. The old style menu is behind the counter with no electronics like back in the day and specials are posted on the wall. The iconic neon sign is out front with Yogi holding a chicken drumstick. Service was okay , not Southern Hospitality , but not rude either like I've read a few others have said. It was an experience of stepping back in time , but the food was disappointing. I hope it stays in business for years to come , but personally it was a one time deal for me.

Over 25 years ago, Ann and…read moreI met right here on the front porch, and every time we come back, it feels like coming home. Atmosphere & Service: J. Michael's has that down-home, laid-back vibe that makes you want to settle in and stay awhile. The staff is always friendly, the service is consistently great, and you can tell this is a local favorite where everyone feels welcome. Food Quality: Tuesday night was "Hotdog Tuesday," and it's become one of our go-to traditions. I couldn't resist the $5 chili cheese dog, paired with a basket of fresh-cut fries. Ann and Ryleigh stuck with the classic juicy cheeseburgers and fries, and Parker went all-in with a cheesy, melty Philly cheesesteak that didn't last long on his plate. Everything came out hot, fresh, and full of flavor. Overall Experience: From the quality food to the cozy vibe, J. Michael's is one of those places where memories are made -- and for us, it's where ours started. Whether you're here for a casual night out, a family dinner, or just some good comfort food, this spot delivers every time. Highly recommend J. Michael's Grill -- a local gem with great food, great service, and a lot of heart.

He was SO hospitable, sweet and genuinely welcoming. He gave great recommendations and did not steer us wrong. These days, it's not always easy to come across service like that, which made it even more appreciated. I ordered the Sunset Blush drink and it was delicious. We also got the cornbread and I'm not exaggerating when I say it was the BEST cornbread I've ever had. So soft and flavorful. The brisket sandwich was a little dry (could be because we went during closing) but still had really good flavor. The mac and cheese though... WOW. I am very picky with mac and cheese and most places miss the mark, but this tasted homemade. Easily a 10/10. My husband got the peach bourbon burger and said it was great. The kids ate everything in sight which is always a win...lastly the cinnamon roll cheesecake for dessert... phenomenal!!! Overall such a great experience and I'm really glad we stopped in!

I rarely leave reviews like this, but after our experience at Wholly Smokin' BBQ & Ribs, it feels…read morewarranted. After driving 15 hours on March 21, 2026, my husband and I were genuinely excited to try this place and planned to take our food back to the hotel. Unfortunately, the experience started off poorly and never really recovered. First, parking is extremely limited out front, which is frustrating when you're tired and just want a quick pickup. Inside, things only got worse. The front-of-house staff was shockingly unprofessional. The employee helping us clearly didn't understand her job and had to be corrected multiple times by another staff member--something no customer should have to witness. It created confusion, delays, and zero confidence in our order. We paid about $50 for a sampler, which is not cheap, and yet the same employee argued about giving us the sides because she entered the order incorrectly. If another, more competent employee hadn't stepped in, I'm convinced it would have escalated further. Even then, we never received one of the four sides we paid for. To make matters worse, we were never asked if we wanted drinks to go, and we weren't given plates, silverware, or even BBQ sauce--basic essentials for a takeout order. That's just unacceptable. While waiting, we also watched this same employee tell three separate dine-in families to go sit and wait while she stood there rolling silverware. Completely rude and dismissive. If I had been one of those customers, I would have walked out. This is the first impression customers get, and it's a terrible reflection of how the place is run. Between the disorganization, poor communication, and outright unfriendly behavior, the service was a mess. The only reason this isn't a one-star review is because the food itself was actually very good. The burnt ends and ribs were the standout--absolutely delicious. But great BBQ can't fully make up for such a frustrating and poorly managed customer experience.

Today's lunch was very enjoyable. Their claim of Texas style…read morebrisket in SC is genuine and accurate. I ordered brisket and BBQ beans for lunch. Both items had a ton of flavor. The beans had chunks of onion and bacon with a slightly sweet finish. The beans were also slightly firm, which led the beans to have a bit of texture and not like most just all mush. Main event: Brisket, The slow smoked traditional Texas style "BBQ" really shines here with flavor. For a brisket the meat had been trimmed very lean. It contained plenty of crispy and extra smokey edge pieces. I like most of all my BBQ meats with extra sauce. Their sauce is a traditional thick KC style molasses dark. It added just the right amount of flair to put the smoked meat over the top. If you need a BBQ fix and want quick in and out, this concession trailer style pop up "food truck" is an easy winner. They are currently Fri/Sat across from Sonic on Palmetto. I didn't try the pork, ribs, or chicken. But I'm sure I'll be back.

The buffet had sausages, fried bologna, biscuits, gravy, pancakes, French toast sticks and much more. Before we knew it, the place was buzzing. It seems to be a favorite for local people. So many took out food. Our waitress was great, making sure we had plenty of fresh hot delicious coffee. We're sorry there aren't more Shoney's near us in Florida.
