Wonderful food and excellent service. This little house converted in to a restaurant is a small gem here in the community. The biggest was your usual southern food. Greens, green beans, fried chicken, beef stew rice, and other goodies. This is food that makes you think your at your grandmother's home and she greeted you with all the fixings as your welcome home dinner. The child's hot dog plate came with french fries. My pickey eater was more than satiestfied with his menu choice. Your drinks never go empty, and you will won't regret. read more

This was another one of our road trip pit stops. I was craving some fried chicken and they had it on their buffet. The chicken was good, the salads were fresh, the mashed potatoes are boxed, and the desserts were just not good at all. Oh, except for the bread pudding, that wasn't bad. The price for the buffet is reasonable and includes coffee and tea. Our server was efficient just not what I would call friendly. There appeared to be a lot of regulars, so they don't only cater to those of us just driving by. I would choose this place over fast food... as long as they have fried chicken. read more

Real home cooking. Had the chicken fried chicken and it was delicious. My husband had the smothered chicken that was supposed to be covered with onions mushrooms and cheese...well it was however, there was about a pound of mozzarella cheese on it that enveloped the onions and mushrooms so he end up pulling all of the cheese off to eat the chicken. Other than that, it was good and very busy with locals, so that's always a good sign when trying out a strange restaurant when traveling! I'd eat there again! read more

Good low key Southern dining. Friendly folks, quick service and outstanding food. Bree helped us this evening and was amazing. Took time to answer questions, asked the kitchen about food preparation (we have an issue w/onions) so we wouldn't get anything that would cause a reaction, and just provided a warm and friendly experience. The rest of the folks there were also great, really made you feel at home. Now to the food. I had the Chicken Fried Chicken w/ sweet potato fries. The chicken was hot and cooked to order - nicely breaded and perfectly done. The gravy exceptional. Spices just enough to add interest and not too heavy. Coupled with the fries, which were wonderful, the salad bar and a slice of Texas toast, it was more food than I could eat. My wife had the hamburger steak w/ brown gravy and mushrooms, baked potato with cheese and bacon and green beans (instead of the salad). Her meal was as good as mine. Of note, she commented on how good the potato was (not a normal comment) and the green beans which came from the ample buffet were not over done and tasted great. This is a family friendly place with Southern hospitality. We frequent it in the future and I highly recommend you do to. read more

Nice country buffet, friendly servers and plenty of food for your money! read more

Olde House Cafe - Hamburger steak - Cafes Near Me - Walterboro, South Carolina

Traveling with kids to FL we were hungry for a decent breakfast and this cafe met our needs. Fluffy pancakes, French toast sticks and corn beef hash were big hits with our family. Friendly service and clean and not a chain! Would go again. read more

Great southern cooking and courteous service Good seafood fixed in multiple ways. Good salad and food bar. The chicken fried chicken with white gravy was excellent. A good rest stop when traveling Interstate 95. About 3 miles off I-95 read more

Ok. If you look at the pictures and think maybe it's a greasy spoon with some good home cooking you'll probably be disappointed. If you look at the pics and think it looks like a standard buffet style with a focus on quantity over quality you'll probably be happy. It's okay. Not bad but nothing special. I'm sure you could find better but you could probably also find worse. My kids really liked the chicken and noodles on the buffet- again, kind of bland and mass produced but not horrible. read more

I don't know what I liked more. This is great honestly food. Biscuits, best I've ever had. Fried chicken, best I've ever had.

Was in town doing some work and read all the reviews about this place.....decided to try it. Myself and my coworkers tried the buffet, it definitely didn't disappoint. Good selection of food, it was fast, and the service was great as well. If you are ever in the area, don't miss out on this jem. read more

Great buffet, service and price! Everything on buffet was tasty, well prepared and great variety! Plus excellent service from several great people there! Everyone with a smile! read more

My husband and I decided to have breakfast there. Never again!!! The waitress came to take my order after 20 minutes of waiting, it was almost an hour before I got my food only to have hair in my grits!!! I didn't get an apology and I was charged for orange juice I didn't drink..my husband chose to eat off of the buffet so he was fine but I was starving waiting for an omelette. The customer service was horrible with the exception of the young lady that worked the register up front. I will not be returning ever !!! read more

This is a great hole in the wall gem right off I-95. Family owned and most of customers were local. Friendly staff and great food. The BBQ was our favorite! read more

I love to buy food from locals when I'm on road trips. Stopped through here. I asked if they had fresh fruit and the waitress said "yeah we have strawberries." So I said 'fresh strawberries?' and she said 'well, they're floating in syrup' 'so basically they're canned?' 'well... Ya...' she said People down here are special. Food does the trick though while on a road trip. read more

While I usually try to avoid fried and canned food, and therefore "country cooking", we ended up stopping here since the chain restaurant at the previous exit had a 50 min. wait. We had the Saturday night seafood buffet, which was $12 and included dessert and tea/coffee, and no wait. I must admit I was pleasantly surprised. The salad bar, which was just as big as the rest of the buffet, was quite comprehensive and items were fresh. Over on the other side, seafood meant fried fish, fried shrimp, and fried chicken (well not everybody likes seafood). While there were canned veggies present, there were also other choices that were pretty darned good. I went back twice for more of the Brunswick Stew, and grits. And I have to admit although the fried chicken was not overly crispy, it didn't taste like it was dripping in grease either. Rounding out the meal was a piece of cornbread, and of course the dessert bar which had slices of carrot cake and red velvet cake (I think - it was red anyway). I stuck with the 'nana puddin' which was decent. Elsewhere on the menu is the regular non-seafood buffet for under $10, sandwiches around $4-5, and dinner choices around $10-12. There are also grilled chicken or fish choices, so all is not lost. Dinner entrees include one trip to salad bar and choice of potato. While this sort of establishment would not be my first choice in cuisine, I was pleasantly surprised and for the price it's a deal for hungry interstate travelers. And it's not far off I-95 either. I would certainly consider coming back. read more

They say they are country cooking however the mashed potatoes are instant and the stuffing tasted like stovetop but soggier. The fried chicken was cold. The macaroni and cheese and greens were good. It is $11 for small buffet; order off the menu you might do better. The red velvet cake was very old, banana pudding was pretty good and the sweet tea was good. I will not eat here again. read more

Olde House Cafe - From the buffet - Cafes Near Me - Walterboro, South Carolina

See all

Waited and waited for the food to come out (nearly 1.5 hours). Only after asking multiple times did the food finally arrive. While the food was good, there was no acknowledgement of the horrible wait. In fact, the restaurant employee only replied when asked about the wait ..... "Yes. It just takes a really long time." read more

We got lucky and missed the exit for Cracker Barrel. At the very next exit we found this little gem. Good home cooking on a buffet that let us weary travelers enjoy a hot meal without waiting in line. Interesting items, like shrimp gravy (yum) for the grits, corn chowder, the usual fried chicken, shrimp, and fish, along with a salad bar and desserts. Good place! read more

Nice local spot to stop for lunch, right off 95. Good food and great service. Staff was very pleasant, very clean would stop again if in the area. read more

Okay, one more hit of southern food before heading back to New England. I found this place on Yelp, we're always looking for local places to eat. Quick service and southern cooking. We opted out of the buffet since it was all heavy southern delectables and chose items from the menu. I had grilled shrimp while my husband had chicken Alfredo. We weren't finished with our salads when our entrees arrived. They food was okay, I think this place is more about the quick service and friendliness of the employees. Why is it that people are so friendly and polite in the south? Now I have to head back to New England, home of the not-so-friendly grumps. read more

Very welcoming staff. Buffet was very good! Fried chicken, beef stew (yummy had seconds!), yams, mashed potatoes etc. etc. and some kind of delicious bread that tasted like it had coconut in it. Everything was seasoned well and very tasty. Had to be some of the best banana pudding I've ever had! We needed a good southern home cooked meal after driving for 12 hours with 4 more to go. Thank you! read more

This place is not the best. Like they are clean and relatively cheap, but I could have gotten a better breakfast from Waffle House. Service was slow. It takes over 40 minutes for pancakes and eggs, and when you get the food it is so inconsistently cooked and greasy that you only eat it because you are hungry. I've been here once before, and it was decent. But now, sub par at best. My friend says that the bacon could've been better. I concur. read more

The place is so cozy and the food is great! I highly suggest for anyone traveling down 95. Make sure you have lots of room because the buffet is a great price and has so many good things! read more

Okay, so the veggies are canned... Not the best. However, the seasonings are good. They brown gravy is too brown, but the most of the other food makes you want seconds. I have had better... but I still go back there when I want a buffet for a good price with southern cooking. Surprisingly, the coffee is really good! read more

Amazing homemade country cooking at unbelievable $$. Plentiful buffet or order by the plate. No instant food here!

Great fried chicken, beef stew. Endless salad bar. Great service, fair prices, what more can I say?

Just ate here based on what we read online about prices being $11 for the buffet to include a drink! NOT THE CASE! Drink not included and the food was awful and very scarce selection, hardly any choices and basically fried crap! I have that feeling I hate when leaving a restaurant and feeling I literally just wasted my money!! So disappointing! read more

This place rules. A group of us are staying in a cabin nearby and decided to stop in for breakfast. The food was fantastic and the service was great. We plan on coming back again before we leave. read more

Olde House Cafe - Hungry man breakfast with home fries - Cafes Near Me - Walterboro, South Carolina

After reading all of the reviews I was anxious to stop for breakfast on a Sunday morning while returning home on our road trip. We arrived at 1105 and imagine our surprise when they stop serving breakfast at 11...on Sunday!! We were sadly disappointed that we had to order lunch, after looking forward to French toast and bacon. I ordered a BLT (hard to mess up and at least it had bacon) which did remind me of the BLTs my grandma used to make for me. Sweet tea was really good. Overall the experience was good, but they need to expand their breakfast hours, especially on the weekend. read more

I came here visiting hoping to experience the full southern cooking experience... And thats exactly what I got here. The lunch buffet was amazing. Everything was homemade and you could definitely tell it was all cooked fresh. I'm coming back for the breakfast buffet. read more

Cute, quaint place with yummy home-cooked food. The fried chicken is extremely tasty and the roast is tender. Highly recommend as it's not too far off of i95! read more

This was a great place to get a home cooked meal the hot roast beef sandwich was great I!!! Was our first time here it is on our favorites list !5 stars!!!!!! Friendly staff too!!! read more

I have been in a car for hours and saw this on a bill board and took a chance and ate there.they made a small meal feel like a feast.

We were so disappointed given all the 5 star reviews. The food at the bar was over cooked. The salad was sad. And we were never waited on after the waitress brought our water so we could t try anything off the menu. There were no non meat protein options at the bar ( not even hard boiled eggs) so we left. The hostess, who I had to find in the kitchen, did comp my grandson's food from the hot bar. read more

Very good food and the service wasn't bad. Enjoyed this local restaurant. Give it a try.

Great place! The salad bar and buffet make this a quick stop and the prices are fantastic. My salad favorites broccoli with peanuts and carrot with raisin. Highlights of the buffet: fried chicken, chicken fried pork, kielbasa fried rice, mashed potatoes, yams, spoon bread, gravy and green beans with ham. Yum! The biscuit didn't appeal to me but I liked the corn bread. read more

I read the reviews and I'm glad I didn't pay attention to the bad ones. Fried chicken is excellent ribs were fall off the bone tender, everything else was equally good! We'll be back for sure! read more

Stopped in one night on our way to Florida, got off i95 and was looking for a place to eat. This was like a hidden gem. The southern soul food was so delicious, it it right on the spot. Exactly what I've been craving for months. Home cook, well seasoned food. We had the buffet. This is now our must stop at place to eat every time we make a trip to Florida. read more

Definitely will come back again. Had breakfast that was delicious. Staff very friendly. Wonderful experience. Would recommend to everyone. read more

Found this place by accident while on a trip. It was a very pleasant surprise. The fried chicken and pork strips were very good and went well with the mashed potatoes and gravy and green beans. Definitely a friendly country atmosphere with lots of personality. The lunch buffet was inexpensive and very delicious. I would definitely recommend this place for a meal stop if you're passing through Walterboro. read more
