Bantam Chef

I Love this place. It is a must stop for breakfast when I'm driving from NC to FL. Delicious country style home made breakfasts. Their Bacon, Egg & Cheese biscuits are one of my faves. Great coffee, great grits, you can't go wrong. Cash only, so have cash on hand or use their ATM.

1950s decor but home cooked country style food.

Wow- what a funky little place! Stopped here while heading back to Florida to get a quick snack and as usual referred to Yelp for guidance. Went with a country ham biscuit & a sweet Tea..yum! Real "southern country style ham" and the biscuit was perfect. Would have loved to tried some more down home goodness, but that was enough for now. Everything looked delicious that was coming out of the kitchen. Very much a "locals" place...southern diner fare and country folks are a fav for me!

I can only review the drive-through, since I haven't had the chance yet to venture inside. My bf has family in Chesnee, and we were there recently for a wedding. We pass the Bantam Chef, whenever we're in town, and I always get a chuckle from the giant rooster, car rear end, Capt. America and other 50's memorabilia on the roof and building.

With cousin D's house right down the road, and no one wanting to cook, we made the Bantam Chef's big, delicious biscuits our choice two mornings in a row. These are real, Southern biscuits done right: no lead dough balls or barely held together dried crumbs here. The biscuits are moist yet fluffy and light with a mild, flaky, buttery flavor. I had mine with bacon and egg. The portion of bacon was very generous. The country ham biscuit was well-laden with salty, meaty goodness as well. Our cousin opted for a local specialty, Liver Mush. It's a patty made from pig liver, other parts, spices and corn meal. It's apparently got lots of flavor, and is a real "comfort food" for Carolinians.

If you're in the area, definitely give the Bantam Chef a try, for the atmosphere and for the food!
