What a lovely and completely unexpected experience in Dillon! On our way to Charleston, we were looking for a stop to have lunch and my wife found that little place 5 minutes away from the freeway. They serve southern food in a buffet-style fashion. The place itself is a little dated but who cares! People were warm, lovely and welcoming. Food was really good! We felt like a friend or family member had invited us over lunch. It’s quick, efficient and they even have warm brownies and ice cream for dessert! I couldn’t recommend it more.

Great country buffet in the heart of Dillon, S.C

Found this on Yelp as I was searching this morning for a spot to stop for lunch on our way home. It is a quick two miles off of I-95. It was fast, good, and easy (not to mention inexpensive). Stay focused... I am talking about lunch. When you arrive, the parking lot might be full (it was when we arrived), almost always a good sign. You can grab a spot on the street or behind the now mostly defunct main street. When you walk in, you glove up and start serving yourself from the buffet. Someone will take your drink order (ours was taken as we were going through the line), then find a seat. I didn't know what fatback was, but I had already Googled it before we arrived, so I easily identified it. After one bite, I decided my dentist might become richer if I continued to try to chew it. The fried chicken was good but a bit salty. The fried pork chop was good as well, but I would have mistaken it for fried fish if I hadn't read the menu. Smoked sauage, yum. The biscuits looked good, but I took (and ate) the cornbread but would not have known what it was if I didn't have the cheat sheet. The salad bar was primarily lettuce. They had a few salad toppings, but the tongs were short and difficult to use. I suspect most people do not come here for salad. Oh, did I mention dessert? Huge cinnamon rolls and something chocolate with pudding and cookies. It fit the bill for what we were looking for.. a quick, inexpensive sit-down lunch.

Very good fried chicken. They were kind enough to fry some early for me to take on the train. Great service and delicious breakfasts.

The food at this place is sooo good that I decided to visit two days in a row! The portions are generous, especially considering the price. I actually struggled to finish my meal because there was so much food. I'm already planning to go back and try something different next time. The service is a little different, but I didn't encounter any rude staff members. The highlight is definitely the amazing food and the value for money. Don't miss out on this place!

Well worth the detour from 95. Good food and very friendly staff. I recommend the sweet potato patty and fried chicken

The fried chicken is great! Everything else less so but still decent over all. Its a mix of homemade items and store bought.

Great little hole in the wall buffet with friendly people and good food. Every time we've been the food has always been fresh because of the amount of people that are there, they have to keep filling the buffet up! Not the greatest parking situation but there's more parking across rhe street.Parking: Small parking lot at the facility but more parking across the street that usually isn't all that busy
