Really great barbecue and loved the sauces. Glad I only got the junior plate. Could not even finish that! Had fried okra as my side! Loved it. Banana pudding was very tasty.

If I were writing a review based solely on the ribs, I'd give this place a 5. But there are other considerations. My sides of cole slaw and potato salad were terrible. The restaurant was very understaffed, so it took more than an hour to get the food to our large party. They are trying to hire staff (based on a sign on the door), so it will probably be better soon.

A truly unique casual dining experience, boasting South Carolina Low Country and Cajun Cuisines. Great BBQ and Seafood options. Belly up to the Oyster Bar and get some fresh Raw or CharGrilled Oysters shucked to order with several flavor options...VooDoo,

Visiting from out of town on Christmas Eve, we found many Clemson restaurants closed for the semester break. Palmetto's was open and accommodating. The steamed oysters were delicious. The Brunswick stew was as tasty as other reviewers described: sweet and savory. The étouffée was labeled spicy but was just right, with more flavor than heat and no lingering burn. It was loaded with sausage and shrimp. The salmon was just OK, but we enjoyed the fried green tomatoes and the cornbread was like cake, moist and sweet. The owner said that was his mother's recipe. Admittedly we were the last patrons on Christmas eve, but the server and owner were friendly and attentive and didn't rush us at all. Next time we're in town we'll be back; the oysters were a real treat.
