Palmetto Shooters Forum

Give me a good ol' Mom & Pop's place anytime. Here in Conway, we have J&J Cafeteria, or The Sandwich Shop as the locals call it. It's been in business since 1955 and in the same family. It's one of our favorite places to go for some good ol' home cooking.

When I travel I always make it a point to eat at local places instead of fast food joints.

When you say Mom & Pops, I assume you mean owned by a local family?

I recall a restuarant I charleston called Brecks. It's a steak house and they have great steaks. the atmosphere was a little lacking, but the food was always outstanding.

A fellow could get a 1" Tbone or a rib-eye that hung over the sides of the plate.

I've not been to this one, but it looks like the same family . . .
Breck's Place At The Ice House

I don't know about the one in Summerville but the original is still where you probably remember it.
Unless you are as old as me you would not remember the hole in the wall where they started out.
I used to eat lunch there with my adopted son there a couple of times a month.
Then he went and got all health conscious and lives on fiber bars and water.
I keep telling him "man was not intended to eat tree bark"

The one in Summerville must be owned by the same family,, have eaten at both and the food is the same,, LARGE and good

I'm late to the party but yes both Breck's are owned by the same man. Unfortunately he has gone hands off and his kids run the places now and they aren't as dedicated to the businesses as he was. I think it will be only a matter of time before he comes out of retirement and re takes the reigns of his stores. But I do still love their burgers.

I was told about Brecks by some of the Charleston area locals. My wife and another couple were in Charleston for the day a while back and looked up Brecks. We could not believe the size of the meat portions! Ever since we walked out the door of Brecks that day, we were planning on a trip back. We were even talking about it last night.

Maybe we should all meet up somewhere for dinner?

Music Man BBQ Monks Corner. I ran across this place about a year ago. Now everytime I am in that area I try to get by there :
