I absolutely love the beef stew, roasted okra, pinto beans, flounder, and barsch. The hot fudge sundae and the bulldogs are also highlights, as is every part of her breakfast, especially the BLT. The prices are significantly better than any comparable restaurant. For a hearty meal with stew beans, okra, cornbread, pinto beans, and iced tea, I only paid $9.50. It's such a great value that it feels like enough for two meals! Did I mention everything is homemade? Plus, every bite comes with a side of nostalgia.

It's truly a gem in Chesnee. Inside, you'll find a variety of exciting racing and motorsport posters, along with nostalgic Nascar memorabilia. There's even a clever display with a rope from Studebaker. I can't wait to return!

I don't like sports and that would have been better. I couldn't get the picture out, but it's not necessary. I'd go back.

I had the Cheeseburger a plenty and it was more than this big boy could eat. Sweet tea was good too. Would have been a 5 if they had servers. Overall great weekend bike trip to Chesney SC today. Highly recommend.
