My gf and I decided to try this as the non-chain breakfast selections in Clemson are horrible. We arrived to find the restaurant practically full with only maybe one or two tables empty but still needing to be bused. We waited at the door thinking some one would clean one of the tables off and then seat us. Another party arrived as well and began waiting too. One of the two waitresses then says to have a seat where ever we would like, keeping in mind all the empty tables are still dirty, my gf and I decided waiting was best option ,as typically, guest don't sit at a dirty table. The party behind us didn't adhere to this and had a seat at one of the dirty tables, so we followed suit. After sitting at a dirty table it took a waitress atleast 5 mins to acknowledge we had sat down and begin clearing the table. She only took the dishes, asked for our drink order, and says she would be back to wipe the table off though she did leave a dish rag. So not wanting to sit a dirty table any longer, I wiped the table myself.The waitress had warned us that they were busy and it would be a few minutes.

One of the new parties is then given menus and have their drinks order taken. At this point, around another 5-10 min has gone by since we have sat down. I'm kinda upset that other customers who have been sat down after us are now being serviced and we still have a dirty table. We left and didn't even see a menu. This place has to be a least decent as it was really busy and seems to have great reviews from previous patrons. I doubt we...
Read moreGood breakfast food but horribly under staffed. Our server was literally pouring sweat trying to cover all the tables and work the register. This seem to be a common thing here and makes getting little things like butter or drink refills very difficult. The waitress was doing the best she could to help everyone, however there was just not enough staff to keep the place moving properly. I really enjoyed my meal and felt sorry for the waitress having to do the work of 3-4 people so I tipped her 200% of the bill and told her how I understand that she was doing way more than should be asked of her. She smiled kindly and simply said...
Read moreI've eaten here many times over the years and I think it's always been for breakfast. This time I ordered 3 eggs scrambled (soft) with white toast, grits, coffee, and a small orange juice (no meat). Did I get the usual good breakfast? NO! As simple a breakfast as you can get, it was the BEST breakfast I think I have ever had!! No lie! Cooked to perfection! Couldn't have tasted better! (And I wasn't starving to death!) I still can't believe how good it was! Gave the new cook...
