They are only open at lunch Monday to Friday, and only accept cash. Last time I went cost was $30.00 a person. This is Sunday Dinner at your southern Grandmama's. I love the fried chicken, biscuits so light they float away, so many vegetables! This is all served family style around tables that seat 10. This is a MUST. The line starts to form around 11am. Don't let the line scare you off, it moves quickly.

This is a guest favorite and it is in the neighborhood. They will sell seafood to you fresh or cook it there for you to take home! Check out the lowcountry boil. A local favorite dish. Get all the seasonings. You can order a full tray which will easily feed 6 - 10 (if doubtful add a couple of extra pounds of shrimp to your order) Ask for cocktail sauce. Don't forget to order hushpuppies, you wont be disappointed. Bring a pool towel to carry the tray back to the house, the tray is hot! Enjoy around the pool. (be sure to place the shrimp shells outside, you don't want to leave them inside until the morning!) PS I cheat and grab a pint or two of KFC coleslaw. They are just down the street.

In the neighborhood. A breathtaking live oak avenue leads visitors one mile down a colonial road to a vistor center, where they can watch short historical film, tour a museum, and browse a gift shop.

Trails meander past scenic marsh views to the Colonial Life Area, where costumed interpreters provide living history demonstrations in the afternoons, weather permitting. Five more miles of nature trails are available for those who are more adventurous.

Here you will find treats for all ages. Staff was super friendly and the working candy shop was amazing. We were mesmerized by the taffy pulling, the wrapping machine, the conveyor belt, etc. We were able to watch them flavor taffy by hand, pour out pralines, and cut and wrap candies. The staff seemed eager to answer questions and dole out a few samples. Great wall of candy and ice cream too. Be sure to look up and see the train running around the shop.
