It was recommended to us when we visited area. Service and waitress were very good. I had salad that was bagged stuff with some cold fried chicken, not great. My husband had roasted chicken, it was dry. Green beans and limas were good. Bread was cold and not fresh.
I called in the order and got great directions from the person taking the orders. My food was ready when I walked in & drinks too. Plus all the little extras meaning salt, pepper, butter and silverware. I had explained on the phone that my father was in the hospital & had been there over 2 months straight from a car accident we both were in. They had the food separated as I asked for plus extra rolls & corn muffins and double bagged my father's soup too. Nice friendly and clean restaurant and Bathroom.
There where are eleven of us in a party en route to a business function. Really good, genuine southern food. Plentiful portions. Food was tasty and the service was great. Could not fault it.
So we actually ended up at a different location at first, not realizing there was more than 1 (we're from outta town). We walked in the other location and immediately walked out due to the musky smell, but decided to try the original location we found and let's just say y'all exceeded our expectations! And service was amazing! Thanks for helping us celebrate our anniversary while we were visiting SC!We almost forgot the pix of our desert (grilled pound cake with vanilla bean ice cream?)
This was not my first time here. My first time was 5 star quality. I loved it so much I brought my visiting family. We got horrible service. The waitress was very rude to us. Rolled her eyes and made disgusted faces at us. She didn't even try to hide the fact that she didn't want to wait on us. She was overly nice and loud to the other tables she waited on. The food was terrible. Chicken breast is NOT dark meat. Corn put in thickened water is not creamed corn, syrup mixed with god knows what is not honey. Was that garbage just served to us? Or everyone? We spent all over $100 in our group. I waited tables before its alot of work. She made a good tip deserving or not. It's her job wait table. It's the cooks job to properly cook. It's the managers job to manage. Get it together.
Worst service I ever had. Waited 30 minutes and never even got service. Last time I step foot in the door.
The sign says Real Country Cooking. It's right. I was searching Waze for local food as I'm out of state for work and I prefer local and unique restaurants to chains. There was a notification for tonight's special, fried chicken livers. This place met all my needs.The tables are set for good distancing. Atmosphere was like home. The waitress was prompt with my drink request and was very friendly. I chose the livers, fried okra, black eyed peas, and inquired about the potato salad. Several patrons sighed as if I had mentioned Mama's special dish. It was perfect. Cornbread as well, of course.The food arrived quickly and was great. My only minor ding was the okra had some overcooked pieces. Not complaining though. The sweet tea was also JUST right. I can't believe I ate it all. I will definitely make a visit next time.A certain *country barrel chain could learn a thing or 2 about the way Lizard's Thicket does country food. I was very happy. And full.
Have enjoyed eating here several times now, and have never had a bad meal. Typical country type fair, choose and meat and 2-3 veggies or veggie plate, with a different specialty daily. Again never had a bad meal here and the servers have always been real pleasant. Also good value for your dollar.
I'm not sure what was going on in this restaurant when we walked in, but it seems that we were walking into some kind of drama. The waitress was all stressed out and telling us that she and the cook were fighting. She keep forgetting what drinks that we ordered, so she yelled across the restaurant to ask us repeatedly. When she brought the drinks out, she spilled one of them on my son. She was very apologetic, but it seemed like she was all over the place. When our food finally came, two out of the five meals were wrong, but she said that she couldn't ask the cook for corrections because he was mad at her. It was just a mess. The food was just ok.....crazy salty though. We just ate what came because we were running late and could wait for the staff to figure out what they were doing.
The service is slow The food was cold The attitude in the place was bad
