A step back in time..

What can I say,  I can not stand eating at a buffet style restaurant.  There is however, an exception too everything.  
Whenever we are in Santee SC, camping at Santee State Park, or attending the Santee Birding & Nature Festival, this restaurant is a must.  On any given night, you will find pulled BBQ,  shrimp and grits, chicken, and a variety of vegetables, (one of the signature items in tomato pie, a low country favorite), and a assortment of desserts.   The food will bring you here, but the atmosphere along with the food, will keep you coming back.

The four old stores or commissaries that comprise Lone Star are full of antiques, most of which were in the old buildings when they were acquired and moved to their present site. Some of the original counters and showcases are in place, and shelves are full of merchandise that had been right there in times before the Great Depression, when mules and wagons and steam locomotives represented the primary modes of transportation.  You can still buy OIL CLOTH by the yard here!

Throw in live bluegrass music in the dinning hall on Saturday nights, and it is a place that just can't be beat.
