So grateful to have ya’ll back! My husband & I enjoyed our meal & the lively atmosphere tonight. The previous business there couldn’t hold a candle to you and they barely ever had more than 4 cars in their lot & maybe one couple on occasion on the patio where else (on a Wednesday no less!) your parking lot was PACKED as was the patio. And for good reason – you have brought with you what you had in your original location in ways of good, homecoming and a service that makes everyone feel like family. We love the menu which is short which allows for quality execution of all dishes. Bravo!

We waited about 35 minutes to be seated which was fine as you have plenty of seating for waiting guests & we enjoyed talking with others waiting.

I saw someones else’s review that complained of “no sides”. Seriously?! READ the menu people! The sides are the yummy peppered cabbage and macaroni salad that is put out to eat family style along with warm fresh buscuits! I love the zip of the pepper cabbage! Reminds me of what my gram used to serve. And when your meal arrives, your waitress also delivers warm bowls of green beans and stewed apples to enjoy family style. So good!!!

I have always enjoyed your trout deboned table side, which I’ve had multiple times but went with the fried scallops which were perfectly cooked which can be tricky when deep frying them. Yours were perfect & went well with the tarter sauce (which had a nice onion flavor to it) and cocktail sauce. My hubby had the fried flounder which was well done & tasty. You offered some great homemade desserts but I had no room:(

Thank you for persevering after Helene and
taking a chance on relocating to Landrum. While you can’t please everyone, you have pleased us as always! Keep up the great work & kudos to your staff whom really bust it out! Good workers can be hard to find & you have and are blessed See you again soon!

While I miss the old place , that was taken out by Helene , I am so happy they are back and they kept the menu the same and the service .
First off , I highly encourage you to make a reservation , even a couple days out as they fill up fast . I called the day before and had to eat at 4pm to sit inside as the inside was booked up. The patio was available later and it is covered and they have fans. Truthfully , I might have been alright sitting outside at 630pm and next time I’ll remember that . I got there at 4pm and let me tell you the line was out into the parking lot . To me this is a great sign that the food and service are going to be great. Since I had called and booked the day before I made my way to the hostess stand and was promptly sat. They immediately got waters and brought their famous caro-mi coleslaw and pasta salad . Both are winners , I ordered the chicken livers and my wife got the trout . The food arrived in about 8 minutes, , I watched the server remove the head and tail from my wife’s trout then open it up and plate it for her. By the way she may have encountered one or two bones max .
They also brought green beans and warm apples with our entrees. My livers were perfect and a very generous helping . The atmosphere is busy but in a good way and I saw the patio slowly starting to fill up.
For dessert I had the tarheel pie , the only way I can describe it is that it’s like a brownie served in a pie crust with ice cream. This is a must order item. They have a few other desserts but I knew when I got there what I was having.
To wind this up , I miss the old place , the water and the beautiful front porch and rockers . But, I am so happy they reopened and did not just go away . Thank you to the owners and staff for staying strong and keeping the tradition alive

Service was outstanding and the place certainly has a following. The question though is “why?” They do take reservations and I highly suggest you make one.

Everything on the menu is $23 to $26 each. Most of the menu is just fried food as you can see from the photo.

At best, all of the food is cafeteria quality and the portions are tiny. I recieved 8 fried shrimp for $23. No side, just 8 shrimp. They DO however bring out a couple mini sides for the table to share. Green beans, macaroni salad and kraut. None of which we ordered. Can’t figure out how they gained such a following from their previous location. It’s way overpriced for what you get. The service actually was the best feature of this place. I would pick Waffle House everyday of the week though if I was looking for this style of food. Big disappointment over the previous business that was here.

Make reservations early, expect to lose cell phone service here, they do have wifi. Nice view of the river, rocking chairs on the porch, small covered bridge that you can drive across. Table was ready at time of reservation which was 6:30. Placed order shortly after we sat down, we didn’t get our food until 7:40. Dinner, dessert and coffee had us leaving at 8:41. Not used to spending this much time dining but we had a good time just talking. It’s not a huge place so there’s not a lot of noisy chatter which makes having a conversation very easy. We were told that there were a lot of orders ahead of us but we saw a few tables where people were seated, dined and left while we waited so we didn’t really believe that. Trout, flounder and fried shrimp were excellent. Ribeye ordered medium was well done and too tough to eat. Macaroni salad, fried apples, biscuits with apple butter and green beans were good, slaw had a huge amount of vinegar and salt in it which we didn’t care for. Key lime pie and Tarhill pie were both excellent.

I grew up in South Carolina and this place is a legend and with good reason. Getting there is a beautiful drive off of I-26 through the foothills and piedmont of NC. The setting is amazing! The food is also amazing! The covered bridge and the front porch with the rocking chairs overlooking the river is so beautiful and relaxing. The name is an homage to the original owners who lived in the Carolinas and Miami. Highly recommended!

Service & atmosphere are always outstanding! The only place you can get country ham & it’s always cooked just right. Friends have ordered fried shrimp which they highly recommend. We see a lot of fried chicken plates coming out. This is definitely one of our favorite restaurants!!

The place is absolutely beautiful, nestled on the river in the valley of the mountain, and the covered bridge only enhancing the atmosphere. The rocketing chairs are placed in the right place and there are plenty to sit upon.
The food was a disappointment and the choices are few. The sides are replenished at request but the Slaw is a strong tasting sour kraut. Then there are canned green beans, pasta salad, apple mush.
The ham is very salty and hard, the Grits and not creamy, and the protein on each plate is not plentiful.
The owner is super nice and the staff work really and are some of the best. Wanted to like this place but the food can not compare to the beautiful environment.

Caro Mi is my favorite place to visit!
The atmosphere is cozy, quiet, calming and beautiful! I love the sounds of the stream, crickets chirping, and the front porch rocking chairs. The covered bridge is so perfect to take wonderful pictures of the trees, stream, and the restaurant. Food is great, and service spectacular! Cozy little place tucked away in the mountains. Beautiful drive along the way.
I highly recommend Caro Mi!!

It took an hour to get our food, and for such an expensive place they only have 4 soft drinks to choose from and they are can soft drinks. My husband and I were going to share the fried half chicken and was told we’d be charged $14 for a vegetable plate because I would be eating from the subpar sides that are served family style. The best things I tasted were the sweet tea and green beans. Good thing I like sauerkraut because that is basically what the slaw is.

This was a great little find in the middle of nowhere it felt. There are great views of the stream here and an awesome covered bridge. The service was very good. I had the livers for an appetizer and thought they were really good. The cole slaw and pasta salad was really good too. We had the ribeye for dinner. The steak wasn’t bad but it did take a star from the place. I would probably go back and its definitely worth stopping to just hear the stream.
