The restaurant is just off I-95 on exit 21 in Ridgeland, SC (map). This is just north of Savannah over the South Carolina line. At first when we pulled off I-95 to find it we were a bit suspicious as you have to drive behind a gas station and a Comfort Inn and we were wondering if it was going to turn out to be just another hotel-attached restaurant. We were very much surprised as we turned the corner and came up on this charming building backing up to a 3 acre lake surrounded by trees.
The food is real deep south cooking - real southern fried chicken, greens, and everything very fresh and homemade. The decor is nice with a southern feel, with lots of indoor dining as well as a large seating area on the screened in porch overlooking the lake (filled with turtles, carp, and an alligator or two.) We hit it just right as we caught the tail end of their Sunday buffet. As they readied a table for our party of six we took a stroll on the nature walk around the lake, which was a treat after sitting in the car all morning. The restaurant is adjacent to the Blue Heron Nature Trail and Learning Center. The Nature Trail starts right at their front door.
I've got this place on my list now as a "must stop" whenever we're traveling north up I-95. I suggest you look for it too if you're passing that way. It's well worth the stop if you'd like a more relaxing meal on your road trip. The prices were definitely not bad for what got. The Sunday buffet was priced around $10 for adults and I believe that meals from the menu were below that and around average for what you'd be paying for anywhere else along the road and definitely a better value.
