Dined at a great restaurant on your way down I-95 lately? Maybe you've grabbed a bite at a nice little diner. We would love to hear about it! Just use this form. This forum is dedicated to all those road warriors who have found or are looking for that perfect stop along America's East Coast Main Street... I-95!
Young Plantation has a new store located just off of I-95 exit 164 in Florence, South Carolina. They have an in store bakery (with fresh breads, pies, and cakes), awesome sandwiches, ice cream, and a full range of pecans and southern specialty foods. Check it out! Their number is 843-662-2452
If you’re looking for a change from the fast-food, eat and run stop, try Denny’s. There’s all kinds of them from Virginia to Florida and many are located just off the exits.
For roughly the same price as a fast-food joint, you get to sit down and take a break and be waited on. One nice thing about Denny’s is no matter which one you visit, the menus and prices are all the same. You can get a full breakfast or lunch for under $5, or a respectable dinner for well under $10. It’s not the Ritz but not too shabby for the price.
Location: I-95 Exit 77, St. George, South Carolina
I just want to invite all travelers to visit Grady’s Cafe in St. George, SC. Grady’s is a small family owned and operated Cafe. Grady, and son Josh, do all of the cooking just like they are cooking at home. Open for breakfast and lunch daily You can choose a Flounder Sandwich, BLT, Bubba Burger,Chicken tenders,or enjoy an all you can eat buffet with lots of home cooked vegetables. (Leave room for that home made peach cobbler or bananna pudding for desert) Saturday morning you can eat all you want from the breakfast buffet. Friday and Saturday evenings are “steak nights” —rib-eye steak, flounder, shrimp, oysters, scallops, salmon, ribs, etc. You can also make a trip to the salad and potato bar. Many locals eat at Grady’s and are very friendly. You might just make a new friend on your journey. If you want more information email gradyscafe@hotmail.com or call Grady @ 843-563-7951

Popeye’s Chicken and Biscuit restaurants are few and far between up here in New England, but every time we travel south on I-95 we make it a point to stop at a Popeye’s at least once. Specializing in New Orleans-style chicken, Popeye’s is the world’s second-largest quick-service chicken chain. We love it! It’s got KFC beat by a mile!
Location: I-95, exit 21 – Ridgeland, South Carolina
Jasper’s Porch Lakeside Restaurant is a very charming little place. If you sit on the porch, not only can you enjoy some great food, you can look out on the lake and watch the turtles and gators swimming in the water below. Very fascinating for kids! They have wonderful service and tasty food. Don’t forget to try the fried pickles!
When traveling on the Interstates I look for good food cooked fast. I don’t usually stop at truck stops but this one time I decided to try the Travel Centers of America Country Pride. They have the best pancakes and coffee I have ever had !! If you ever want some good food stop at Country Pride.
