Plantation Cafe And Deli - Bluffton

Relaxing atmosphere, but the hashbrowns are greasy and service was unattentiv. They were put of biscuits and gravy by 12. Also I had to go look for them to get my bill.

The hostess spoke in a whisper, which made it difficult to hear her. She needs to be more assertive in her role. We noticed that she and her partner cleaned tables, but they could do a better job—when we sat down, the floor beneath our table was dirty with crumbs and bits of napkins, as well as an empty pepper shaker. We waited quite a while before being attended to, and she wasn’t very friendly either. It was also noticeable that she went directly to other tables as soon as they were seated. Unfortunately, I don't know her name, but we were seated at a round table near the bar, closest to the restrooms. I had to inform the hostess that the ladies' room was out of toilet paper.

The service was terrible! Our waitress seemed more interested in playing with her hair while making drinks, and her coworker was at the counter picking his nose. We even had to hunt down our waitress to get our check, only to find her in a corner devouring her breakfast. Our drinks were never refilled. It was an expensive meal with unsanitary service. We won’t be returning to this place again.

We’re visiting from out of town and, based on the reviews, I thought this would be a great spot for brunch. The service was good, and the ambiance was charming. The bathroom was also quite clean. However, the food left much to be desired. While it was edible, it wasn’t great. My salad had very dry chicken that was supposed to be jerk chicken but lacked any flavor. The pineapple was clearly canned, which didn’t help the dish at all. Essentially, I had unseasoned, dried-out chicken and a spoonful of canned pineapple on a bed of perfectly fresh salad greens. The menu mentioned tortillas, but I received dried-out pita bread instead. I appreciated that the waitress brought me a replacement salad, not because it was excellent, but because it was more palatable. The Cobb salad included deli meat rather than chunks of proper meat and cheese. At least the ranch dressing was really good! That salad was decent but still not worth the price. My husband was disappointed with his breakfast sandwich; it didn't match the description. The croissant wasn’t fresh, and it was a letdown. He also tried the fried green tomatoes, which he rated 2 out of 5 and wouldn’t recommend. Overall, the flavors didn’t impress. The staff were lovely, and the place was cute, but unfortunately, I can’t recommend dining here.
