Located at the top of a hill from one of the lakes boat ramps, this quaint spot is perfect for supporting local. From the red and white vinyl picnic table clothes, styrofoam cups, roll of paper towels and Texas Pete at each table, I knew we were going to enjoy some great food. Eggs, crispy bacon, toast served with warm melty butter to spread and cheesy hash browns were all delicious. I also tried their jalapeño grits which were yummy too. Reasonable priced, great service, and great food!

Just off the interstate but not close enough to benefit from surrounding businesses and traffic, this little unassuming cafe is a local spot delivering great food and friendly service. A cool angle on this place is that they not only serve a good breakfast and lunch but they also have a great dinner option that's a little different than most. They serve dinner, family style. Choose your meat and three sides and they deliver! And here's another economical tid bit... drink is also included! With different price tiers it's not only delicious but it's a great value as well. They are fairly new to this location but it looks like they have the recipe for success! Keep it up ladies!!!

Husband had grits which he said were very smooth and buttery. I had eggs over easy but the Yolk's were too hard for my liking. The pecan smoked bacon had such a great flavor and not too salty. Enjoyed that. The home fried were nice and crispy not oily. The coffee was fine. We will go again and try something different. Hometown local feeling. Bon appetito!

Arrived at Strickland's late one morning for breakfast. The Yelp ratings set high expectations,…read morewhich were thoroughly met. We were promptly greeted and seated. The restaurant is plainly decorated with about a dozen tables. We timed our visit perfectly since it seemed that soon after we arrived the lunch crowd began arriving, which quickly created a wait. We ordered the Eggs Benedict, which cooked perfectly and were topped with a well-executed béarnaise sauce. We also ordered a Meat-Lover's Omelette that was generously stuffed with various meats. We also ordered a stack of blueberry pancakes that were light and fluffy in the middle with slightly-crisp edges. Delicious all around. Service was attentive and efficient. The staff seemed to have multiple roles as you would expect in a small/family-run restaurant. I highly recommend you stop here for breakfast or lunch and enjoy delicious food in a simple atmosphere.

How long has it been since you have heard something like that? Talk to the waitresses here... you will hear things like "I've been here for 19 years, and just love the place." These are the sort of people who you just know are the best grandparents on the planet. I've been a few times for Breakfast and have enjoyed every meal I have had... BTW their Sour Dough Toast is the best... I usually get the special, two eggs, bacon, toast, grits... I know it's hard to mess up breakfast. The coffee is good. The service is just like I got from my grandparents. These people are the salt of the earth. More than once I've given $100 for a tip. Yesterday morning the lady checking me out said "I think you made a mistake on your tip." I said "No Ma'am, I was shooting for 200% and that's pretty close"... She offered me a piece of cake to take home. :-) These people are simply your grandparents, your Sunday school teachers, Aunt "B" from Mayberry... You really have to go by and experience the best people the USA has to offer. If you go and you agree that the folks here represent the best we have to offer, leave them a tip like you just ate the best meal of your life.

We were out house hunting in the Anderson SC area and our realtor found this place on Yelp. We are…read moreso glad we stopped in here for lunch. I'm always on the hunt for Old Style Family restaurant's and this place did not disappoint. A lot of choices on the menu, decided to try their Club Sandwich. The bread was some of the best on a sandwich I have ever had, nice and soft and not too little or too much bread where it overpowers the rest of the sandwich. Every bit of the sandwich and fries was tasty (picture was from their website- forgot to take one). The service was friendly, didn't take long at all before we had our food and they were attentive but not annoying. For those that love the old style family restaurant's, this is a must visit.
