Delicious breakfast, bacon is the real thing, toast was perfect! That's how you make a toast! Coffee was good! Service too. It is one of those places that are far from fancy or part of a chain and yet the food is MUCH better than those other places. I will definitely go back next time I go to Congaree.

Waited over 30 minutes for the worst hamburger I had all year. Cooked to a hockey puck and served at room temperature. Table was dirty. There was literally no other customers sat so I have no idea what could’ve taken that long to prepare a cheeseburger. Little to no customer service, and tables all had salt and crumbs on them. Straight up dump , don’t go.

Good food and service. Price seemed high at $27 for chicken lunch special with extra piece and tea. Can't afford to return.

My first time there, very nice and clean I'll be back to try some food. The potatoe pie looks great and the chocolate cake also.

Nice little lunch spot. Good food, pleasant staff and spacious parking for any sized vehicle. The very small bathroom was the only bummer.

Had a great veggie plate. Really nice people working there. Good place to stop for a southern meat+3 or a burger. Had some vegetarian options as well.
Kid-friendliness: Nothing to break. Big round tables. Big grassy area next to the restaurant if they need a place to run. No changing table.

If you are visiting Congaree, be sure to stop at JD's Place. The food is great and the people are even better. We felt very welcome and had a lovely time. Can't recommend it enough!

Low key, local establishment that gets Southern flavor right. This is not one of those trendy born again pretending to be old southern... This is real old school, little rough around the edges and taste great. A flavorful perfectly seasoned fried livers and gizzards with a little hot sauce of unknown origin, that makes you happy kind of place... a slow down and appreciate simple good food kinda place.
Had a good egg and cheese on toast for breakfast at 8:30 before conquering Congaree. Lunch of chicken livers. Good home cookin.

Stopped here after kayaking Clear Creek in Congaree NP. Our guides highly recommended this place. The food was outstanding!The 4 of us ordered fried chicken and pork chops, each of which came with 3 sides. For us, the sides included yams, potato salad, Mac and cheese, greens, Lima beans and cornbread. We also ordered a piece of 7-up pound cake. The food was incredibly good!Highly recommend!!!
