    Biscuit and Gravy with bacon, sliced tomatoes and home fries

    On our way back home we dashed into the best local restaurant in McClellanville. The outside may not look trendy but there's a reason for that. This is down home cooking and comfort. Everyone knows everyone. The regulars don't even have to order because the cook is already working on it. If they don't know you they still treat you like a regular. The service is top notch and some of the sweetest people. Next time I am passing through I will stop again. The biscuits and gravy is well worth the trip. So check it out, you won't be sorry.

    Stopped by for breakfast yesterday after the Land Sea Market. Had not even realized they served breakfast, thought it was just lunch and Friday night dinner. I had the pancakes with bacon. My husband had the cheese omelette with bacon, potatoes and rye toast. Coffee was very good, not bitter at all. Everything was delicious. Service was great. The desserts, some made in house, looked amazing. Will be coming back to try those along with dinner, which is served are fridays only 5-8. Owner is also the chef. Cute little, local place. Had some great lunch/dinner specials listed on the board. Closed Sundays

    This place is fantastic! This diamond in the rough has wonderful country cooking and seafood. I had the She Crab Soup bowl and the chef offered me Sherry to add to it. The soup is marvelous with or without. My parents had the friend chicken and loved the batter. Also, the veggies are amazing. True country cooking. Don't miss this little place. They are super nice and the food is outstanding!

    I've driven by this tiny hole in the wall place in McClellanville for years and never took a second look. One day I noticed it on Yelp and saw the reviews so I figured I'd make it a point to head out there sometime to check it out. I was on my way up to Myrtle Beach and decided to stop in. I didn't realize but they were just about to close as I saw the hours on the door as I walked in. I asked if they were open and the woman was so pleasant and said she would definitely take us. Usually you'd get an eye roll and silverware slammed down on your table for that move but, she was genuinely happy to serve us. I was thinking more about brunch but, they serve brunch on Sundays and keep normal breakfast/lunch hours every other day. They were on their lunch menu so I opted for the flounder basket. For lunch, it was a huge portion and well worth the price. Something about the tartar sauce made it extra delicious but, I couldn't quite figure out what it was. It feels like a family run place and the service was excellent... similar to being in your friends moms kitchen for lunch. I can't wait to check out brunch here on a Sunday. Definitely worth taking the nice drive up to McClellanville for something different than your typical downtown brunch spots.

    Well, here was a hidden gem, and without the wonders of modern tech we would not have known. This place is a rustic slice out of time. Atmosphere is spot on. Friendly service, great food. Grits were just great, sausage gravy primo. They slap this food together in a granny Clampett kitchen, cast iron and all. We were there early weekday, not busy, just a couple yokels getting java and grub. Nice overall experience, will definitely go again. Prices were a bit high, but really worth it.

    First of all, the Yelp or GPS directions for here are incorrect. They are not off by much, just about a quarter mile, and the correct side of the road. The atmosphere is cheerful and homey, and everything inside is attractive and very clean. I ordered crab cakes, which came with two sides. The crab cakes were delicious--perfectly seasoned and delightfully old-school. I want to return to try the She Crab soup and mac & cheese. I highly recommend McClellanville Diner!

    Had dinner on Saturday. Sat outside and enjoyed great music from the Grateful Dead, The Allman…read moreBrothers, & Van Morrison. The food was great too. From the Pimento Cheese Burger with tater tots and Grouper sandwich.

    IF YOU ARE NOT A LOCAL - DON'T BOTHER. Yes, it's a hole in the wall little place, clean, and…read morefriendly. BUT - That's a huge BUT....if you see the reviews and think you'll get a nice variety of food....DON'T. The place is unassuming from the outside, and upon walking in, since we weren't local, everybody gave us a look, and a smile. We were not greeted by a server, so we tracked one down and got our own menus and sat ourselves. The draft beer list totaled three beers, one of which was out. The bottled beer was your standard bud, Coors, etc. I ordered an IPA, which was cold and refreshing and served in a plastic cup. My husband since he did not care for a Coors, ordered a sweet tea, what else are you gonna order when you're in South Carolina. The sweet tea, see picture, was more like flavored sweet water. Server, I believe her name was Maddie, was friendly enough, very courteous. The menu was limited, some appetizers which included wings, mozzarella sticks, etc. There were two salads to choose from. Fish was a shrimp basket, and cod or flounder basket, two burgers, there was also a pulled pork platter, half rack and full rack ribs, brisket, and pizzas, but the pizzas were only served on Thursdays. I opted for the brisket, my husband for the fried shrimp basket. Upon inquiry they informed him that the shrimp was local, because what else do they catch in McClellanville but fresh shrimp! The brisket, Maddie informed me that it was not served on a Wednesday. So I selected the pulled pork. My husband felt at the shrimp basket was frozen shrimp, with a flavorless batter. The cocktail sauce that came with the shrimp was frozen in the center. He had collards as a side which he said were very good. My pulled pork came as a large serving, in a basket, at room temperature. The pork itself had a good bite but was flavorless, our server had brought two sauces to use on the pork, which was needed. My side was the Gouda mac & cheese, which was also very tasty. While we were there, and looking at the menu, the menu has greatly changed from the reviews that we read to the visit. Yes, great place if you were local, because there's not much else available. Friendly yes, but if you were driving any distance (Charleston), don't do it.
