I have good memories of those meals, so for me cafeterias are comfort food. If you have those memories too, the layout and offerings of S&S will be instantly familiar to you, and you will probably enjoy it as much as I did. They have many choices of tasty food that treats your insides right. One callout: they offer turnip greens, catfish, and trout, which are all hard to find in the Low Country. The staff are friendly.

I came for fried chicken but my son chose the ribs, which were so tender they literally were off the bone. The yams were Devine and the fried chicken so tasty.

You order, they plate it, you pay and either take it to go or to sit in the small dining area. Service is very quick and efficient, and you can tell there are a lot of regulars who come here because the staff joked and laughed with them as they waited in line. Speaking of the line, it moved fast but while we were there a woman came around with a tray and offered little cups of brightly colored something. I chose red and was delighted to see it was a frozen punch, red is cherry. My friend got orange and he said it was like a mango or peach flavor. I ordered the fried chicken, with cabbage and red rice. The cabbage was absolute fire, it was so tender and delicious. The red rice was good, but a bit on the dry side. I feel like had I been there when a fresh pan was brought out it would have been a lot better. The fried chicken was perfectly cooked and had a flaky crust but it needed salt and the tables did not provide any. I would come back, there are so many other things I would love to try and this place is busy for a reason.

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. Our son enjoyed the hog dog. Service was adequate. For me considering that the food was cooked to,order, I was quite satisfied with the service and the food.

I ordered the Chicken Caesar wrap with fries, but ended up getting onion rings instead. It was not a big deal. They were still decent, just not what I ordered. The food itself was slightly above average and fine for a casual meal. The service was average as well. Our waitress was polite but nothing really stood out in terms of attentiveness. The inside of the restaurant was pretty basic, with a simple setup that did not add much to the overall experience. I don't think I will be back.

Don't get between a Coastie and Taco Tuesday!…read more By the standards of institutional food, this is an excellent chow hall with courteous staff. The menus were varied and tasty. I never ever left hungry. Now for the areas for improvement: The grill line should offer grilled cheese sandwiches at supper. No clocks on any wall. It would be nice to have visible clocks. The physical plant is tired and could use a refresh. The tables are too small for the size of tray they use. The A/C vents were dripping condensate down on to unsuspecting diners on especially humid days. They seemed to struggle to obtain consistently ripe bananas (often green with brown patches). It would be nice if the chow hall offered pre-ordered box lunches for people who will go off-site on the weekend. The desserts were delicious but it would be nice if they were not tucked away in a cooler but were on the serving line with clear labels.

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!

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.
