Customer Reviews

Steve Barton

For the quality of food, think Bay Street Charleston. For the price of food, it is very acceptable for the quality, quanity, and slelction. Atmosphere, think about a train stop from 100 to 150 years ago. You can settle in, be comfortable and get lost in the pictures and RR memories. To make things even better, The Eatery is located right beside an active Norfolk Southern track and it runs through Branchville several times a week. If you would like to eat at a low key, home feeling resturant with a menu that reminds you of days gone by with a price that you can afford, this is it.

Exceptional food, very reasonable prices! Be sure to visit the adjoining railroad museum. Branchville, SC is the site of the world’s oldest railroad junction!
