    Lunch menu.

    A hidden treasure. Maybe the best hamburger on lake Hartwell. Friendly waitstaff that makes sure things are good. Food is cooked when you order so yeah you may have to wait a few minutes, this ain't McDonalds and you know it when you bite into the hand made burgers.

    This place is one-of-a-kind southern cooking at pre-Biden prices in the middle of nowhere. We wish the country was more like this!

    Poor service, poor food quality. Not impressed at all…read more Ambience is nice, very spacious, newly built, restaurant. Friendly staff. Not very attentive at all. Say for 15 minutes before the manager had to obtain a server for our table. After the food was delivered, the server did not provide adequate service. I requested a water refill, which took an additional 15 minutes, because she continually forgot. Food quality wasn't the greatest. They served chicken, which consisted of 2 thighs and 2 drumsticks. Along with friend catfish filets, that had been way over salted. Both were very soggy. I ate half the thigh and quit. Veggies? Only vegetables were Lima beans, everything else considered vegetables, was a casserole. A table full of starches. Over rated and over priced. Sadly disappointed. If you want good southern food, go further south to Thomasville, GA. Go to O'Neals. You can fool some folks, but not someone that knows southern cooking. We won't return.

    The new Temu version sucks. So incredibly devastated and disappointed!! You should probably change…read morethe name along with all the other changes because this is NOT the Dillard House. As a local, I have gone to the Dillard House my whole life and it has always been one of my most treasured spots but sadly it will never be the same again. I visited for the first time since bought out by some Atlanta conglomerate called Legacy Ventures and boy did they just take the character and soul completely out of this place to make a buck. All of my childhood memories and the charm of the south, replaced with some generic millennial grey design bullshit and shitty recipes. Was the old place fancy and swanky? Absolutely not, but here in the country we like our charm like grandma's tried and true biscuit recipe: Not pretty but dang does it taste good. Thank God they kept the family style menu, but boy was the food NOTHING to write home about. I can't say that anything tasted as good as it used to. It was all cold and overcooked and certainly not prepared by someone from the south that knows what they're doing. The cured salty country ham that made your mouth water...bland and uncured. Missing some of the best staples the menu offered. Completely ripped out the country store and gift shop. I didn't want to believe the other locals when they told me what had happened, but now that I've experienced it, I'm not sure I can continue to support this place. They have replaced the kids from Rabun Gap that always worked there with people who are clearly not familiar with the place nor how to show Southern hospitality. I always admired the fact that they gave jobs to kids to learn how to serve the community and make a little money. Every kid should have that experience for character growth. I thought for sure I'd be able to bring my children here one day to experience the same nostalgia that is seared into my mind and heart, but sadly that will never happen now. Can we PLEASE stop selling out our cherished local spots to people who clearly don't know anything about the area or care to honor it? Let's keep the country the country and you city folk can do whatever you want there. It's also very clear that nothing is being done to improve these conditions with the onslaught of negative reviews from lifelong customers online. You may fool new customers that don't know what they're missing, but the lack of traffic on a Sunday proves the point that you aren't making changes to "honor the past experience and care about the feedback." Word of mouth travels fast.

    We had such a great time and the food was great! Our server (I believe her name was Sidney?) was…read moresuch a delight! For appetizers we got the clam chowder, not shy on the clam, was very tasty and a side salad with maple bacon vinaigrette, nice and refreshing. Something called to me to get the crab cake and since it's an appetizers I ordered that with a side of street corn. Upon first sight, I felt maybe they went a bit light on the remoulade but the flavor from the crab cake itself was incredible, and the remoulade was a nice enhancement. Any more would've overpowered the flavor of the crab cake itself. They did it right and the street corn was also delicious. Pimento Cheese Rockefeller Shucks pimento cheese and jalapeño pepper jelly. I didn't know what to expect from this but we are adventurous and I'm glad. This may be my favorite of the evening! We also got the Butter Parmesan Rockefeller which was heavenly. Next onto the raw oysters. We opted for gulf, Virginia, and NC and ended up ordering more VA & NC. Normally I use lot of horseradish and coctail sauce but the mignonette was so delicious that about half way through I only used that. Finally, and I wish I had gotten a picture, we talked ourselves into getting the crème brûlée cheesecake, diets be damned. I love crème brûlée and the hubby loves cheesecake. This became apparent when after a few bites we made a deal that I eat the top and he can have the bottom this was a win win for us! All the food was a hit, we loved our server, and the location and ambiance! Not only will we be back, I could see us becoming regulars. The hubby loves raw oysters/seafood and I'm coming around. Everything I ate was fabulous and I would order any of it again though there are other menu items I want to try as well. Thanks Shucks for a great night out. We will be back!

    I hate this place closed. Was my favorite downtown seafood spot. Fresh oysters and lots to choose…read morefrom
