Food Scene
Not the fanciest place, but they have the best wings I've ever had! You have to try the Carolina Rub bone-in wings with a pitcher of beer! It's about a 10 minute drive.

We absolutely love MJ's! It's within walking distance in our town center. Great atmosphere, good food (bar food type), trivia on Tuesdays, karaoke on some Saturdays, and...our daughter is a server there!

The only remaining old growth hardwood forest in the United States...beautiful trees! Some of the best times I've had in nature were floating down the Congaree River in a canoe. The park visitor's center is great, and the rangers are so helpful!
