My husband and I stop by on our way back from my Dr's appointment in Greenville. It is always fresh and great food. You get a lot of food too!
Never been here. First time here and the hamburgers were to die for. Nice char and the fries weren't burnt. Beats fast-food by far. Definitely coming back
Pete's may not look like much from the road, but the staff is always amazing and the food is great. You get your moneys worths. The chuck wagon sandwich is enough to feed 3 people, but so good I have to eat it myself It takes me back to the good ol days when my papa and I would go eat lunch in the middle of no where. Nostalgic I think is the right word. Perfect lunch in between the morning and evening deer hunt.
I’m 66 years old here in 2024. And I can remember the building Pete’s is in now when I was in my 11th or 12th grade being built. The store was named the Batum Chef I believe at first. Then I think Pete’s opened it later. Anyway has been serving good food for a long time. There is several Pete’s in the area, but this is the only one that I believe the guy that owns and cooks there is named Pete. His Hotdogs and Cheese burgers are delicious. Homemade onion rings. And his Fries are always hot. Fair prices too.
passing through woodruff and ran across petes drive in. ordered 2 cheeseburgers and a lemonade. the lady at the window was so nice. the burgers were very filling and taste great. old fashioned burgers with old fashion great friendly service. highly recommend.
Pete's is such a a great place to eat. Especially if Jordan is working, her service is outstanding.
Flounder plate with onion rings and cole slaw. I loved it
Ruger is the absolute best. The food is entirely what southern small town is. I’ve grown up with it all my life can’t beat it.
