    Why does anybody order a pimento cheese sandwich? I guess I should say what the heck is it? We ordered it and it was God awful on wonder bread, it made me wonder what I was eating. The plantation was fantastic and I would love to return to that but not the café! It took them quite a while to spread this soft yucky stuff that they called cheese on white bread. I wouldn't, NOT recommend it and not sure if I would go there again because the service was not good at all.

    The Peacock Cafe at Magnolia Plantation and Gardens is a great place to stop for a snack or drink while exploring the grounds. They have a really good assortment of different items available to choose from and the prices are not that high for the convenience of the location. They also have a nice shaded area with plenty of tables to sit down and enjoy everything and stay cool.

    Pulled pork hoagie $8.5 (I already ate half of it.)

    Peacock Cafe is the only place inside magnolia plantation to purchase food so plan ahead. My family went for a late lunch closer to 2 pm and the line was still a good 15 minute wait. They stop serving lunch items at 3 pm so by the time we got there a couple of selections like turkey & swiss sandwich, veggie wrap and chicken salad croissant were out of stock. I ordered the pulled pork hoagie and that was definitely worth the money! I'm surprised not a lot of people bought that since it was delicious and juicy and they give you a ton of pulled pork. My sister got the ham & Swiss sandwich...not impressed. Their soup of the day was clam chowder and that was pretty good too!

    The only game in town if you plan on buying food in the gardens. Be prepared for a long wait (15 minutes plus) when it's crowded, and bring cash in case the CC machines don't work. Prices are steep for what you get, so you might want to hop in the car and drive to Chick-Fil-A down the street (free re entry if you keep your receipt) or BYO picnic lunch.

    Fresh egg salad.

    Really good egg salad and chicken salad at the plantation. Prices were reasonable for a tourist area. The package deal for a sandwich, a side order and a drink was $11.

It was so good I had to go back! The Brunch bowl is what I order both times ( I wish I tried something else) and the "grit balls" were delicious. Service was fast and prompt even with a full house. And the woman at the counter (she was in the kitchen and ran food, greeted guests as they pick up their food, possibly a chef) was EXTREMELY nice and outgoing. She seemed to really enjoy her position and kept order in the kitchen. Food was delicious if I haven't already said so, so much flavor, a Carolina quality kinda spot! I highly recommend to anyone looking for an exceptional, yet casual place to dine. Thank you Grit Counter!

The parking lot was packed, and most tables were already taken when we walked in, which is always a good sign. You order at the counter and then grab a seat while they bring the food out to you. The menu is extensive, with plenty of dishes built around grits (as the name suggests). I went with the chicken and waffles, and it was loaded with flavor--crispy fried chicken breasts, a Belgian waffle, chunks of bacon, and a blueberry compote on the side. The whole plate was enormous; I definitely didn't finish it. My husband ordered the fried chicken and fish platter with French fries, and it was equally generous in size. We also started with the grit fritters as an appetizer, and they were fantastic--crispy on the outside and a nice surprise inside. Overall, the food was really on point with big, satisfying portions. The waitstaff seemed super busy but stayed friendly and attentive. The only downside for me was having to bus your own table at the end. Prices for lunch felt a little high at first glance, but when you consider the huge portions, they're pretty reasonable. We'll definitely be heading back soon.

We were actually asked if we would be willing to sit at a table with others. We did not mind. Unfortunately they were out of shrimp and catfish and my wife was wanting shrimp and grits. Our son ordered the Hog Dog, (hot dog with pulled pork) my wife ordered the Fat Boy burger, and I ordered the country fried steak. Their order came with fries and I ordered mashed potatoes and coleslaw with my dinner. Hush puppies and a corn muffin came with my meal. It took about 25-30 minutes for our meal to arrive. My dinner was delicious. Country fried steak was tender and crispy. Mashed potatoes had chunks which I like, the coleslaw was creamy with great taste, hush puppies were fantastic, and the only disappointment was the corn muffin was not warm. My wife loved her burger.

    How have I not eaten at JF before?! I feel like I have been missing out. I visited on a Saturday…read morefor lunch and sat at the bar. The whole place feels quaint and local, yet refined and classy. First off I love that it's a full service bar and eating at the bar is no problem. Second I absolutely love they sell pitchers of beer. Not many taps, but still pitchers. And it's mostly local beer. I was with my husband and we wanted to try several things and took recs from the bartender who was awesome. We ordered the pork dumplings, the scallion pancake and the spicy sichuan hot karaage rice bowl. And we made it a combo with miso soup and an egg roll for $4. The pork dumplings were SO good. I could eat a meal of those alone. They were dense and flavorful and the dipping sauce was slightly spicy. The scallion pancake was a surprise delight. It was crispy and not too greasy again with a delicious dipping sauce. The miso soup...chefs kiss. It looked like ordinary miso soup but there was something extra that we really loved!! And the egg roll was big and juicy and fried and wonderful. It's a veggie egg roll but don't let that fool you. So much flavor and again the sweet chili dipping sauce left us drooling. Most of those sauces are too sweet but this was the perfect blend and the perfect spice level. The rice bowl was full of flavor!! The spice on this is quite a lot so make sure you can handle heat if you order the "hot" version. But again lots of flavor not just hot. Thank god we didn't order anymore food because this was plenty for the two of us to leave full and honestly we could've had leftovers. We will 1000% be visiting again and fully understand the hype around this phenomenal restaurant!!

    Not bad. I like places like this with lowkey casual vibes and a unique menu built for sharing…read more My husband and I sat at the bar for dinner. We ordered the following: pierogi, fried rice and Sichuan hot karaage (fried chicken). Being a Polish girl, I can confirm these are not authentic pierogi and they tasted more like a dumpling/ravioli to me, however they were still delicious and I would order them again! The chicken was fried nicely and had a good level of spice, which I appreciated. The rice was pretty good for the most part but also tasted like something was missing. I would definitely come back here again to try other things off the menu :)

Everything was hot and fresh. The meatloaf sandwich with onion straws was delicious. Hot and tasty. Not a huge fan of shoestring fries but they were also hot and fresh. Our son loved his burger but it is a messy meal. Service was fantastic and we really enjoyed the atmosphere and food. Lots of TV'S so I could watch the Braves game while eating. A great experience for us at Underground Chucks. I recommend.
