With sweeping views of the May River, Buffalos offers a vibrant dining experience specializing in American classics. A fixture of Palmetto Bluff’s charming Wilson Village and a community favorite, Buffalos is the perfect setting to watch the comings and goings of boats along the May River. Whether inside the bright and inviting dining room or on the open-air patio, savor delicious plates with a glass of wine in hand while soaking in the view.
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.
Melt
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
Experience the true essence of flavor with FLAME, a vintage 1950s Mack Fire Truck turned pizza truck. Hand-tossed and authentically Neapolitan, our pizzas are brought to life by the mesmerizing wood-fired flames. While great food usually requires time, our pizzas cook faster without compromising on flavor, making it the ideal stop for those eagerly waiting to dine. Paired perfectly with refreshing, pulled draught beverages, our pizzas and other Italian comfort foods are a testament to the power of the FLAME.
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.
