A damned fine country ham biscuit!

From a google review for the Sewee Outpost on Hwy17:


On Hwy 17, outside of Charleston, on the way north to Georgetown, and to that redneck and Yankee retiree paradise, Myrtle Beach, you will find the glorious Sewee Outpost.


Tucked under towering live oaks, you would think that this gem was from another century.

Nestled as it is in this bastion of nature, it is without the trappings, and without the tawdriness or gaudiness that is found in normal roadside businesses you will find in 90% of the United States.

When you notice the gas pumps and store full of modern refreshments, noshes, and conveniences, you will be yanked swiftly back into the 21st century.

And are lured inside to part with the filthy lucre filling your pockets.


Unique store awaits you with a tremendous variety of fishing, camping and outdoorsman gear, huge selection of snacks and beverages, books, various sundry items, and a few surprises if you spend a little extra time searching around the shelves.

You'll find a gigantic selection of candy, some modern and well-known, some old-timey and close to forgotten.

You'll be curious as to how they were able to find them all.

The great, friendly and welcoming staff are there to assist you in leaving your money behind.

Try not to linger as your eye will be enticed by the wondrous wares on display.


Great country ham biscuits!!!!



(If you need an explanation of what a country ham biscuit happens to be, then we all know "you're not from round here".)

So, walk confidently and self assuredly to the biscuit case, and grab a large selection of the various biscuits on display.

Pay the sweet ladies at the counter for them.

Go back to your car, get right with God, and enter culinary heaven as you take the first airy, buttery bite. Whatever you do, don't waste your time stopping at the cluttered, cramped, and "quaint(if you're an alcoholic albatross)" Sewee Restaurant on the opposite side of the road a few hundred feet down from the Fabled Sewee Outpost.

There is absolutely nothing on their befuddled menu of ill-prepared swill that could compare to the Outpost's delectable, delicious, filling, and downright sinful country ham biscuits.

Prepare to cover your wee children's ears as someone may let a bit of foul language slip once they've raced to the back left-hand corner of the Outpost and find these treasures sold out for the day!!!(that's why I told you to go out to your car and get right with God.

You may need his help if you cleaned out the biscuit case and someone was denied their piece of heaven that day.

And that person notices you sitting in your car, surrounded by biscuit wrappers, engorged on biscuits, covered in biscuit crumbs your neophyte self let slip from your fingers as you gobbled down biscuit after biscuit after biscuit.) Yes, you can offer me accolades once you have fallen in love with these biscuits. And, if I understand correctly, they offer other cooked foods as well.

Wow, if these other foods are anything like the biscuits, it could make an atheist look for salvation in a higher power!!!


Super clean restrooms.

Worth a stop for nothing more than the ham biscuit!

GET A HAM BISCUIT!!!

=================================================================


For my UK friends who may be wondering wtf is a ham biscuit?

The closest thing to it is something most of you have eaten many times.

A bacon stottie/butty/sarnie/barm!!!

Our country ham is the closest thing you will find on this side of the pond to UK bacon. US bacon is what you all call streaky bacon.

Difference in bacon depends on where it comes from.

US = pork belly

UK = pork back
