Shulers Restaurant Latta SC
So here is the intro incase you don't know what Shulers is. Shulers is a restaurant in Latta, SC that was founded by a local family with good work ethics and a homestyle restaurant with all the hearts you can get. It was featured on an episode of the Profit (Profit is a show on CNBC about a Profiteer who saves businesses who are in need of help or in trouble) due to the mass popularity that overflows the restaurant (which is carefully a business's dream), fearing they would lose their company.
The business has been opened and ran by family only for several years. They homecook everything with real special recipes only family can see. Amazingly, not pre-obviously, the business was such a success that they couldn't manage it and thought they were going to go out of business and unfortunately were losing so much business by turning away customers who didn't have cash or check but debit. A reason was their registers. The guy from Profit reached out and helped them. The family of the restaurant wanted to go national and put more restaurants like this out there because they were no doubt making so much business and are known widely and wanted to spread out to reach more people, but Profit said that won’t work. He fears that for this type of business, franchising is too risky and that they were more categorized like a destination. He wanted people to come from distances to travel here and eat because people were already coming from farther miles. This place is already a special experience. It would take away from the Ma & Pa style of business.
Also, he knew that there are different tastes of barbecue around the country and varies in different style of different states, and it wouldn't be the same. He didn’t take that chance. So it's better to make it a worthwhile eat. Marc decided he would add a general store with relative items to the restaurant to improve sales, and add a deck outside to create an overflow seating (which worked out better than they planned in the end). Also, he wanted to add a more reasonable cash system with two registers that could accept debit and credit and could be easier to use. A reason why so people weren't turned away due to cash or check only. He increased the shares, and made the food sell for what its worth or valued by evenly creating increased cost revenue but making it reasonably priced at the same time. The biscuits are on his mind to distribute them to as many grocery stores as possible. He thinks they're the real moneymakers of the business and are truly so good!
above our heads^^^
On the other end, the restaurant was named after the wife's dad Shuler. Later they came about a son and named him Shuler after the restaurant. They wanted to name him that because he is now such a big part of their family and their business. They are very polite to us customers, treat everyone like family, and sure know how to make rmean ribs! Successful they are, and are the pride and joy of the town and show us what they mean to us and what they mean about the Country.
their business could never be more wonderful.
This is where I come in, about two-three years later or in Summer 2017. The B-B-Q Restaurant shows her small town cute little charm and its rustic backwoods history that complements its location and homestyle service. Business is rocking, and they have astounding delicious food prepared so uniquely, and the quality and effort put into the food is unmeasurably great!
My meal costs $15 for the Homestyle cooked AYCE buffet made from family recipe.
I traveled an extra 50 miles to get here and there after a trip to Myrtle Waves (a very popular waterpark).
When we arrived, I walked into a giant wood-cabiny building, then entered a smaller building connected and went up to the cashier. (the smaller building is the original structure)
I Asked the kind hostess, “Where do I order my food?” This was completely different set up than I was used to.
She kindly responded "You'll pay here, what would you like to order?"
I said I'd like to get the buffet please?
She said “ ‘Just for 1, right?”
“Yes”.
“Alright, that'll be $15.xx”
I asked is the drink included?
She said Yes it is. Politely, so I payed, which was easy and quick.
I also asked another lady if I am allowed to take photos or pictures here,
She said that is fine. We had several people with us who really enjoyed it here.
They sat us down wherever we prefered.
Drinks were ordered and were served in a proper way.
They have an all-you-can-eat self serve buffet, but remember to be careful of how much you get, in the buffet you might want to consider to limit the amount of entrees you get (my tip). It’s every filling. You should try a little bit of everything and experience the food you picked. It's a special restaurant. Plus, you won't have the same thing on your plate next time you go up, no doubt. There is so much to choose from. Also, meals and buffets are seasonal. Everything is fresh and hot. They have these famous biscuits, like I was mentioning earlier, made from hand scratch only by their own recipe. They are now these little soft white round biscuits and are what foodies called amazing, and the texture feels so great in the mouth. They are hardly able to stay out in the buffet line because they get snatched up so quick.
All of their Food has high-quality ingredients and are carefully crafted, hand made and cooked to an amazing perfection.
They had these ‘squashed- squash and nuts’, medium and regular pulled pork...
(regular pork: good and juicy and a little spice, medium was a little spicy), ribs cooked with their own homestyle smokey recipe, cooked out the back. The mac&cheese was thick and gooey cheese was beautifully baked in. They also had fried chicken with spiced batter, baked chicken legs and thighs spiced and seasoned with fresh herbs; cornbread; lima beans; collard greens; chicken and dumplings; spiced caramelized sweet-buttery 1/2 corn on the cob and their famous biscuits, etc. I could name every food in the line and still wouldn't remember them all!.
You can also order from a menu too.
Buffet is always open after you pay.
They have a Dessert bar with so much food:
-self serve ice cream
-banana pudding
-Sometimes watermelon cake
-caramel layered cake
-chocolate layered cake
-this green whipped dessert with marshmallows and nuts and whipped cream
-strawberry short cake casserole (you could say) which is basically strawberries, whipped cream, shortcake, and fun!
-etc..
The whole experience was fascinating. Overall, the restaurant was clean, well maintained, warm and inviting. The bathrooms were very clean too which is nice due to the census of the restaurant. They treated us like loyal customers, or even like family. There was something there for everyone to enjoy. We were so stuffed, we had so much food left over from the buffet, we wanted to-go boxes. Unfortunately, they won't allow to-go for buffets even if you only had leftovers from one plate. It’s weight and distribution issues. Although, you are allowed to have to go if you order a meal from the menu. We were alright, they were nice about it.
Spice and Jam Rack
||| After the whole dinner, we shopped around the gift shop. It is loaded with stuff from jams and jellies to caps to rustic antiques to everything. They had ample amount of things to choose from, and the whole store smelled like fresh spiced wood. it was a very pleasant natural aroma that complemented its surroundings. They had tons of bottles of jams, ciders, spices and unique salsa. They had this one salsa called ‘peach salsa’ and Key-lime jam. They have spiced apple cider (from concentrate) and tons of candy, also some nice rocking chairs outside to rest in the shade of the porch.
I asked the lady, just to make sure, “I heard on the internet you guys were featured in the profit”, (I was not knowing if there were multiple ones or not). She said “yes, we were”.
I asked, “How was it?”
“It was good, we had a good time”. I thanked her for the service she portrayed of this place, how well kept it is. It was pleasant talking to her and she was very kind. I really appreciate qualities of business like that very much.
I WILL try to comeback here one day, and I have a lot of other places on the list to do so too. |||
Every second was a fresh moment there. A friend of mine recommended this place to eat, as she took us here. She is a real foodie like I am, and she knows we would all really enjoy it here, and we did. Thank you!.
The price of the buffet is $8.95 before 4p. and 13.xx+tax ($15.0) after 4p.
Additionally, there is a banquet room next to the shop, incase you guys wanted to have an event or reception there.
