Make reservations early, expect to lose cell phone service here, they do have wifi. Nice view of the river, rocking chairs on the porch, small covered bridge that you can drive across. Table was ready at time of reservation which was 6:30. Placed order shortly after we sat down, we didn’t get our food until 7:40. Dinner, dessert and coffee had us leaving at 8:41. Not used to spending this much time dining but we had a good time just talking. It’s not a huge place so there’s not a lot of noisy chatter which makes having a conversation very easy. We were told that there were a lot of orders ahead of us but we saw a few tables where people were seated, dined and left while we waited so we didn’t really believe that. Trout, flounder and fried shrimp were excellent. Ribeye ordered medium was well done and too tough to eat. Macaroni salad, fried apples, biscuits with apple butter and green beans were good, slaw had a huge amount of vinegar and salt in it which we didn’t care for. Key lime pie and Tarhill pie were both excellent.

Resteraunt was clean and the waitstaff was great. Slaw and macaroni salad come out first with family style service. I had the flounder and it wad perfect. Lightly breaded and moist inside. Nights are crowded, so make a reservation.

The 1st coming to this little gem. Tucked in by a big stream and mountains. Small menu but with big plates to choose from. Really cool how they put fried apples, cole slaw, macaroni cold salad, green beans and scratch biscuits with apple jam on table for whole party to enjoy. Party of 8, went early around 5pm, no problem getting a table with outstanding service. Will put this on my return list. Drove from Greer to try. Well worth the drive. Glad to see some restaurants still care about the food, service and the people that support them.

The place is absolutely beautiful, nestled on the river in the valley of the mountain, and the covered bridge only enhancing the atmosphere. The rocketing chairs are placed in the right place and there are plenty to sit upon.

My husband took us to Caro-Mi Dining Room for our anniversary dinner Saturday. He chose Caro-Mi because of pleasant memories he had coming with his parents and grandparents as a child. He made a reservation for 6:30 and they seated us timely. The front porch was very pleasant and the light rain made a tranquil atmosphere. Unfortunately we had to wait 55 minutes for our food to arrive to the table. We wouldn’t have minded the wait if the food was good but it just wasn’t. The fried chicken was under-seasoned and dry. The trout had about a dozen bones left in it which I didn’t realize until taking a bite full of bones. The green beans, macaroni salad, slaw were all just okay. The apple butter was good. We really wanted to enjoy our food and experience but it was just not good. Unfortunately we will not be back. My husband voiced his disappointment for days following our experience.

Even with reservations it took a while. We were seated pretty much on time but everything slowed down after that. It was ten minutes before our drink order was taken. Another ten minutes before we received the drinks. The same was true with taking the order etc. So plan plenty of time to talk and enjoy your friends. Even with the wait it is a great place. I suppose if it wasn’t worth it they wouldn’t be so busy!!!!

Wanted to love this place as our family has been making the hour drive for dinner since the 60s. It’s just ok. Setting is the best part. Food is uninteresting and undersalted. I ordered a rare ribeye and received a sirloin or strip. It was pink inside but barely any sear. My husband’s trout was dry and flavorless. Almond butter didn’t help. Oh, and it was hot inside. I think one trip per generation maintains the tradition well enough.

The chicken livers were great! My entree was trout- very dry and didn’t taste good at all! The service was great even tho they were running back and forth. Next time will get fried chicken dinner.

Good food, service and atmosphere! The Mahi Mahi is the best and the coleslaw has a secret receipe that I wish I knew 🙂 This darling cabin in the woods is a wonderful hidden gem! Will definitely return and recommend 🙂

Beautiful setting in the foothills, sit on the front porch and enjoy the mountain stream……get there early to enjoy. Food is very good, family dining atmosphere. If you haven’t been, go. Brown bag OK.
