Our first time here and it has been a BANGER! We got tomato soup and grilled cheese, a turkey club with potato salad, and a... cheesy ham croissant. Everything was DELICIOUS! But the real starvof the day was Bella, one of the food delivery robots. Mydaughter was entranced! After buying 3 pounds of old fashioned candy in the store, we head3d back to the car with full belliesand happy hearts. Read more

Oh my goodness!! I'm so thankful that I stopped by. The pics on Google and their website don't provide the amount of products... they carry. I came here for some shrimp and grits, and maybe some peanut brittles and peanuts. I walked out with ~$140 worth ofgoodies!! They have all sorts of popcorn, nut products, holiday gifts, a small section for the pups, hot sauces, jelly,chocolate covered nuts, candles, ice cream, stores making kits, hot chocolate, chocolate, tshirts, etc... I bought 2 large bagsof Carolina peanuts, 2 cracker jack caramel popcorn with chocolate covered peanuts, a hot chocolate making cube, some peanutbristles, 2 coconut chocolate, 2 chocolate rice crispy, 2 jars of jelly, 1 coffee gift pack, ... and the delicious shrimp andgrits. What I love about their chocolate products is that they make them. Highly recommended!! I got to meet the owner, Carrie,such a nice young lady and a dog lover. She was so kind to take the time to tell me about her products and answered all myquestions. At checkout, I had the option to tip on my entire purchase, whuch I did.
