The Market Restaurant — Restaurant in Cayce

It seems the business template has changed post Covid. They aren’t open on the weekends so that changes when I can come. You order at the register, pay, and tip while standing and they bring your order when it’s prepared. They don’t come check on you to see if you need anything so I’m uncertain what the gratuity is for if not that personal service at the table. You now eat off paper plates or cardboard style if I’m being honest along with the flimsiest plastic utensils on the market.

It's food that will fill an empty tummy but does nothing for taste or freshness. It taste like they did their grocery shopping at Dollar General. No reason to return again.

Packaged thin sliced ham on the club and no turkey... nothing at all like the pictures. Near translucent tomatoes sliced so thin. Served in the dining room in a styrofoam to-go box and plastic fork. $34 for 3 people. Smh... maybe breakfast...
