Tired of eating at the same old places? There’s a lunch buffet in South Carolina that’s worth taking a road trip over to a county where the largest city boasts under 8,000 residents. Due to its charming small-town feel, Hartsville was twice voted an All-American City (1996 and 2016). It’s the home of Coker College, Stingray Boats, and Pam’s Restaurant.

Pam’s has been serving the Hartsville community for nearly three decades with delicious southern fare. Its roots in Hartsville run as deep as the flavors are wide.
