IF YOU ARE NOT A LOCAL - DON'T BOTHER. Yes, it's a hole in the wall little place, clean, and friendly. BUT - That's a huge BUT....if you see the reviews and think you'll get a nice variety of food....DON'T. The place is unassuming from the outside, and upon walking in, since we weren't local, everybody gave us a look, and a smile. We were not greeted by a server, so we tracked one down and got our own menus and sat ourselves. The draft beer list totaled three beers, one of which was out. The bottled beer was your standard bud, Coors, etc. I ordered an IPA, which was cold and refreshing and served in a plastic cup. My husband since he did not care for a Coors, ordered a sweet tea, what else are you gonna order when you're in South Carolina. The sweet tea, see picture, was more like flavored sweet water. Server, I believe her name was Maddie, was friendly enough, very courteous. The menu was limited, some appetizers which included wings, mozzarella sticks, etc. There were two salads to choose from. Fish was a shrimp basket, and cod or flounder basket, two burgers, there was also a pulled pork platter, half rack and full rack ribs, brisket, and pizzas, but the pizzas were only served on Thursdays. I opted for the brisket, my husband for the fried shrimp basket. Upon inquiry they informed him that the shrimp was local, because what else do they catch in McClellanville but fresh shrimp! The brisket, Maddie informed me that it was not served on a Wednesday. So I selected the pulled pork. My husband felt at the shrimp basket was frozen shrimp, with a flavorless batter. The cocktail sauce that came with the shrimp was frozen in the center. He had collards as a side which he said were very good. My pulled pork came as a large serving, in a basket, at room temperature. The pork itself had a good bite but was flavorless, our server had brought two sauces to use on the pork, which was needed. My side was the Gouda mac & cheese, which was also very tasty. While we were there, and looking at the menu, the menu has greatly changed from the reviews that we read to the visit. Yes, great place if you were local, because there's not much else available. Friendly yes, but if you were driving any distance (Charleston), don't do it.

Web site advertises 'open at 11'. Door was still locked at 11:30. Lights and t.v. on inside?? Went to the McClellenville Diner instead.

Food is not good. No flavor and no seasoning. They weren't attentive.

We had a blast at Wednesday night trivia! The food was great!
Had dinner on Saturday. Sat outside and enjoyed great music from the Grateful Dead, The Allman Brothers, & Van Morrison. The food was great too. From the Pimento Cheese Burger with tater tots and Grouper sandwich.

RUN to McClellanville and visit The Bent Rod. We sampled as much of the menu tonight as humanly possibly and each dish was better than the last. Flounder, BBQ nachos, bacon wrapped jalapeño poppers, fried chicken sandwich……. All unreal. FRESH SQUEEZED grapefruit and vodka at their outdoor bar. Owner operators are new and are the nicest people on earth, we saw an incredible band, and I’m telling you…. This is a hidden gem worth driving to!!!!
Laid back, staff is awesome ?
