Village Venues Community Dining for Every Taste

Canteen

The Canteen is the perfect spot in Moreland Village to pick up a cup of coffee or breakfast sandwich in the morning and a homemade panini, a wrap, a salad or snacks in the afternoon. Take it to go or enjoy an afternoon on the Canteen’s open-air porch with a glass of wine or a beer from a local brewery.

RT's Market

Named for the merchant Richard Thornton Wilson Sr., the father of the early 20th-century owner of Palmetto Bluff, RT’s Market is your neighborhood general store, and so much more. Here, you can pick up your morning newspaper and coffee, top off your gas tank and buy milk and bread for the next day’s breakfast or the ingredients for preparing a gourmet meal for a house full of guests. RT’s offers a creative selection of high-quality and unique products — an extensive wine selection, gourmet items, seafood and meats, and gifts — in an atmosphere of warmth and welcome. RT’s Market is open daily.

Buffalos

The gathering place for all — and a community favorite — here at Palmetto Bluff. The corner café sitting across from our chapel in Wilson Village, Buffalos offers its patrons picturesque views of the May River as they enjoy a menu featuring everything from market-fresh salads, Italian sandwiches and pastas, pastries and handmade local gelato to wines by the glass or bottle and a variety of signature cocktails and local craft beers.

If you wander along the banks of the beautiful May River, you’ll find Melt, in Wilson Village. Featuring 12 signature Southern ice cream flavors, plus shakes, sundaes, floats, candy, homemade cookies, brownies and more, this friendly and inviting sweets shop is almost impossible to resist.

Flame

Expect mobile mozzarella from the folks behind Flame. Artisanal pizzas, Italian comfort foods, and salads are Specialties Of The Truck–a vintage 1950’s model stationed in Moreland Village. Come for the Wood-Fired Lasagna, stay for the S’mores Focaccia.

Buzz

Buzz is a celebration for mornings. An energizing place that sets the tone for the day, and stays open to re-energize guests when that first cup wears off. Fresh brewed coffee, handcrafted drinks, and house made pastries serve as a worthy start to the day. And friendly greetings paired with our energetic and relaxed ambience ensure our guests feel comfortable coming as they are.
