Sara's Porch

this is one of the best restaurants in town,the owners are very friendly and come in and out too chat with you often it is a very friendly envierment! they also have the best fried pickles & cheese burgers around for sure!!!

Great spot for lunch. Meat and 3 is the way to go. All the classic sides + fried chicken, meatloaf, etc.

First visit here. Was for sure home style cooking for my fried porkchop. Was a nice sized chop and was cooked very nicely as well as the whole meal. Will be back for sure.

I grew up in a nearby town in the same county, but moved away long before Sara’s Porch was built. Visiting the area again in autumn of 2022, this eatery was recommended to me. It was surprisingly good. It’s clean (really clean) and friendly without being overbearing. The menu is all homemade and fresh, and it changes often so you won’t get bored, so I’m told. I can tell they want a healthier, more unique, and varied take on traditional Southern foods, as they’ve caught on that this area of SC is tired of the same old unhealthy Southern fare in restaurant after restaurant. I’m vegan, but often have to make concessions and go the lacto-vegetarian route when traveling in small Southern towns, as they don’t quite grasp fully plant-based eating yet. But I was able to enjoy a great vegetarian meal here (it could’ve easily been vegan if I’d opted to leave off a bit of salad cheese). The homemade balsamic dressing was the best I’ve had, and it was wonderfully done. The salad greens were true mixed nutritious greens (no iceberg lettuce in sight!) and as fresh as could be. Carnivores would be happy here, as they get the most options, with marvelously different creations new to most palates. There are lovely desserts, all unique and not too common in the area (win!). There are wines and draft beers, as well as an array of domestic and imported bottled and (I think canned) beers. The best part was the remarkably articulate, knowledgeable, and friendly server, Jordyn, on 10/01/2022. Jordyn is stellar in every way. In an area that was so polite when I grew up here but that has rapidly become disconcertingly discourteous, Jordyn gives hope we can bring back Southern graciousness and more inclusive and welcoming behaviors; Jordyn is a role model to be admired and appreciated. Sara’s Porch has the culinary skills and efficiency to run a good show, and employees like Jordyn make the experience excellent.

I stumbled on this restaurant to find something local while I was out dropping off some information at Darlington County Schools technology department. This was a treasured find! The staff was so friendly, and it was nice to see several local law enforcement, EMS personnel, and local workers eating here. Our waitress was very kind and helpful in narrowing down our choices. I love that everything was made fresh that day - and delicious! WAY better than a chain - but don't be in a huge hurry. :)

We eat here every chance we get!!! Macaroni and cheese is always fantastic!! Prices??? Affordable, worth every dollar. Service is always friendly!Very clean!!Darlington is blessed to have Sarah’s porch!!!Never disappointed!!!

The bacon jam burger was a revelation and now I'm obsessed with figuring out the recipe. Staff were super kind and friendly despite us showing up as they closed for the afternoon. Support small diners people: non-chain places like this are gems

Salad tasted like paper.Hamburger steak with cheese gravy and mushrooms was dry af string beans tasted like a salty butter can good corn was trash i ate nothing... My kid said she liked her tenders and mozzy sticks the fresh pork skins were good i paid 53 bucks for food i didnt eat smdh

The staff was SO nice! Good food, cute decor, very clean.

Lovely little place and very nice service. Told us about the fireworks and we got to enjoy those after dinner.

Please update your hours on google. Came in from Texas and was recommended for breakfast and called ahead to ensure our party of 6. No one answered and thought they were just busy. Made it to the restaurant and completely deserted. Sign in the window said updated hours are CLOSED Sunday and Monday.

Had to get our own menus and also had to ask for fresh hot fries three times. Put mushrooms on my food after requested no mushrooms. Poor service idk if it was because I'm of color or had a few Hispanics with me

Ok, at first glance, we thought this was a truck stop. It looks just like one from the outside. But do not be too quick to judge because the food is very well worth it.The place is very clean and neat, the staff was very friendly, & the food is super good for southern cooking.One thing to note, is that the hours have changed. (See pic below)We arrived as soon as they opened and were seated immediately with drinks delivered quickly. We ordered the food and it came out fresh and hot.Do yourself a favor and stop by when you’re in the area

This was our first visit, and we were not disappointed! Good homemade food, super clean, and Becky was an attentive and friendly waitress. We are already planning our return, next week.

The food is homemade and fabulous! The fried chicken wasn't a bit salty and the meatloaf was some of the best I've had. On top of that the place is spotless!
