Fantastic! The wife and I wanted a good breakfast while we were staying in the area and boy did we find it. Delicious food was matched by a swarm of waitstaff that all took care of us.To start the parking lot was very full when we pulled in mid-morning and had to wait 15+ minutes that went by fast as there was a small gift shop attached and plenty of rocking chairs out on the covered front porch. The building has a southern vibe with plenty of decor in a natural wood building. Very charming.Once we were seated, we both ordered the Eggs and Hash that came with 2 eggs, hash browns, 3 strips of the best bacon I’ve ever had and a flaky biscuit that was phenomenal! Their homemade hot sauce was a perfect match.The service was way above average. 5 stars actually. They all worked together so I’m not sure who our actual waitress was. My coffee never went empty and someone was checking on us ever couple minutes without intruding.I would highly recommend and this was a well earned 5 stars as everyone there made it a great experience!

Our first time @ Sawmill Place. Service was fast, employees worked as a team clearing tables and refilling drinks. Nicole was our waitress she was very attentive and friendly! Food was excellent! Sweet potatoe pancakes with pecan butter was excellent choice! Grits were awesome! Bacon and sausage was fresh! We will be returning our next trip through the area!! Thank you for excellent service and food!

Wow! That was an amazing meal. The breakfast wrap was excellent. I feel like in an average breakfast wrap, the eggs and cheese are just fillers and the sausage is the star of the show, but that was not the case with this wrap - the cheese and eggs were as pronounced and flavorful as the sausage. Also, the sauce that came with the meal was bangin’. The tonic hot tea was delicious, too. The place was clean, service was fast, and the waitstaff was great. I will absolutely go here many more times.

5/5Alexis Streich

We road our motorcycles down from North Carolina to have breakfast at The Sawmill Place. Well worth the hour trip there. I the red, white, and blue pancakes that were on special they were fluffy and delicious. My husband loved the biscuits and gravy.

What a charming and warm place! We stopped in for a late breakfast on the recommendation of a local at the gas station, ha! He was right this place was the spot to be! The food was amazing, our server was super sweet and a party of 5 ate for $50 and we’re stuffed! We bought cute souvenirs from their shop. I love that we supported local farms and business owners!
