“Great experience here. Greeted with smiles and great attitudes. Food was prepared and at the table in a timely manner. All 5 orders were correct. Everything had wonderful flavor. Staff walked around the whole time asking tables if they needed anything, cleaning plates, etc. Will definitely be back“

“Wife Savers recently catered an event for St Alban’s Episcopal Church. I was very pleased with the service from first contact with the staff to the actual delivery and set up of the food. The food was delivered hot and it was delicious. The guests were very complimentary of all of the dishes especially the mac and cheese. The amount of food was generous and reasonably priced. I would use them for catering again for good service and food and no hassle.“

“Great food and atmosphere!“

“We visited the Cracker Barrel in Evans Ga and our experience was exceptional. The food was hot and prepared well as one would expect. The best part however was the attitude and consideration of our server, Madeline. It was clear from the beginning that she cared about our experience and was attentive to every detail. I so appreciate someone who works so hard to be the best representation of themselves no matter what they are doing. Cracker Barrel, Evans Ga, should consider themselves blessed to have such a conscientious server as they do in Madeline. If there was a fifth star, she would certainly deserve it!“

“What an incredible time we had me and my husband had to tonight. Service was incredible - Terran could teach a master class on service. His great personality, attention to details and just over all service manner enhanced the atmosphere and the food. Food was delicious. Love the design. (Love everything except for the uncomfortable side chairs that don’t seem to go with the beautiful design). Will definitely drive down from Columbia again to dine at Abel Brown.“

“So pleasantly surprised with this restaurant. The food was amazing but the best part was our server Rhonda. She gave amazing suggestions and was a delight. We had the pimento cheese( I had never had before & never would have ordered without her suggestion. We had salads, fries and a bottle of bubbly!“

“The best!!! Turkey wings are my favorite. I judge restaurants based on their Mac and cheese and this is definitely 5 star worthy! ❤️“

It does not matter what time of the day you go, early or late, even right at closing she is always the same!!! It is rare these days to get good customer service, she is AWESOME!!!“

“My husband and I visited the restaurant on Valentine’s Day while it was noticeably busy it was to be expected on this day. We exited the elevator to find a line of people waiting to be seated. We had 8:00 reservations and were sat by 830 is by George. George was phenomenal in managing getting people checked in and seated along with helping to clear tables as well. He did a good job walking up and down the line communicating with us waiting that we all would be sat as soon as possible. We were sat and greeted by Rebekah and our experience only got better. She was attentive despite having a full section as well as serving people at the bar. Our food and drinks came out in a timely manner and were cooked to perfection and flavored amazingly well. We will definitely be back. I want to thank George and Rebekah as well as the rest of the staff working hard last night, your smiles and positive attitudes made our first visit amazing.“

“Went in while waiting for my car to be serviced, looking for a place to chill for a while. Wasn't expecting a delicious meal ... Chicken fingers were amazing, hush puppies and the baked beans just took me straight to heaven. I couldn't believe I finished the whole plate!“

“My uncle told my mother and I about the place so we decided to go. I can't eat spicy foods and everything I tried was great and flavored just perfect. I got so much on my plate I ate two times on it. My mother and I took my sister and she loved it also. We have decided not to cook for new years so we are hoping they will be opened New Year so we can go there.“

“Shane’s catered our family Christmas festivities, and I genuinely cannot say enough good things about the experience. The food was excellent—fresh, flavorful, and exactly what you hope for when you’re feeding a large group. There was plenty of food, great portion sizes, and an overall fantastic value for the quality and quantity provided. The service was phenomenal from start to finish. Communication was clear, everything was on time, and the entire process was smooth and stress-free, which is priceless during a busy holiday. Customer service was top-tier, and the owner was absolutely phenomenal—professional, kind, and clearly invested in making sure everything was perfect. If you’re looking for great BBQ, outstanding service, and a team that truly cares about their customers, Shane’s in Grovetown delivers on all fronts. We will absolutely be using them again and highly recommend them for catering or any event.“

“Good food… #period I recommend the food eaters look for“

“I love Cheddar Scratch Kitchen! We have several up north. The honey croissants are amazing and a must have if you are stopping in or eating out. The southern fried chicken was an amazing deal. For $3 extra you got an entire second chicken breast. Only issue is the curbside pickup is not connected to the text you receive when order like all other major restaurant chains.“
