Caro Mi Dining Room

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!!

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!

Resteraunt was clean and the waitstaff was great. Slaw and macaroni salad come out first with family style service. I had the flounder and it wad perfect. Lightly breaded and moist inside. Nights are crowded, so make a reservation.

The 1st coming to this little gem. Tucked in by a big stream and mountains. Small menu but with big plates to choose from. Really cool how they put fried apples, cole slaw, macaroni cold salad, green beans and scratch biscuits with apple jam on table for whole party to enjoy. Party of 8, went early around 5pm, no problem getting a table with outstanding service. Will put this on my return list. Drove from Greer to try. Well worth the drive. Glad to see some restaurants still care about the food, service and the people that support them.

Very nice place with a beautiful location beside the river. Food was very good and service superb.

Good food, service and atmosphere! The Mahi Mahi is the best and the coleslaw has a secret receipe that I wish I knew :) This darling cabin in the woods is a wonderful hidden gem! Will definitely return and recommend :)

Fantastic location - worth the drive to this relatively remote restaurant. The fare centers on typical Southern comfort food, but isn't greasy or fatty. The portions are ample and the staff is very friendly. The trout is amazing, as is the fried chicken. Love the slaw. It's simple and delightfully vinegar-y.
The atmosphere is very cozy - the feel of a converted log cabin.

Caro Mi's Dining Room once again surpassed our expectations. Our Server, Katie, remembered us from the last time we were there and that was 2mos ago.
When she fileted my Mountain Trout, she took the head off first, without asking (she asked every other Patron in the room whether they wanted the head on or off.) Katie also added extra slivered almonds and butter with my Trout and brought us each a bowl of the Macaroni Salad so that I "would stand a chance of getting some." She brought Anthony an additional Cola, without asking, because he drinks very quickly, and she asked us specific questions about things we had discussed last time we were there.
The food was delicious the entire wait-staff were quick,without being pushy, courteous, personable, without being nosy, and professionally efficient. The Owner was there greeting everyone as they entered, recognizing familiar faces, and making sure everyone was seated and taken care of quickly.,

Beautiful place on the river. Tasty food and a lot if it. They don't take debit/credit cards though so take cash!

The food is the best I have ever tasted in a restaurant. And, the portions are HUGE!!!

Our server, Katy, was excellent!!! She was servicing three other tables besides us but we didn't lack for anything and she was sometimes ahead of us, anticipating what we would need.

I will definitely come back and ask for Katy to me our server.

Blessings!

Dinner with the Pol County Memorial Honor Guard. A little slow to get ordered and served but it was all hot and fresh. Good service and reasonable prices. (This is a tourist area) The chicken livers were a bit salty but the MahiMahi was perfectly seasoned and cooked well. Appetizers are served sharing style and so are the sides. Pasta salad excellent, cooked spice apples also excellent! Had I known a cabaret service was available I would have brought wine. We were there about an hour and a half. Restaurant and restrooms clean and well lit. Made for an enjoyable time with my fellow veterans. Thanks Caromi!

I have heard this place is not for everyone...but it appears that everyone shows up to eat!

Location is awesome. The creek running in front of the establishment sets the laid back tone. Completed by the rocking chairs on the front porch.

There is limited capacity, so reservations are highly encouraged -- especially if you choose Saturday.

Important: Your party will not be seated until all members are there. No exceptions.

Without exercising restraint -- you will fill up on the slaw and macaroni salad brought to the table as "appetizers".

The entreé selection is "limited", but limited to the basics. I am not a country ham person, but for those who are -- it is said to be delicious.

The fried chicken is perfect! The trout is delicious and plated tableside.

We understand the other menu items are delicious as well.

Have never had a dessert there. Always too full to even think about a dessert.

Parking can be problematic, but there appears to be ample supply.

No credit cards accepted.

Cell service is sketchy at best -- but don't fret -- enjoy your time there and forget about the online world you left behind.

Lots of banners from institutions of higher learning. Including the one from which I graduated.

Go and enjoy!!

Delicious food in a comfortable dining space. The rushing creek sights and sounds added so much charming atmosphere - we could have rocked on the porch for hours!

Like I always say thanks to everybody who came into work. We appreciate it. It was a little too warm in the restaurant tonight even though it was our first time there and the food was delicious and we had several servers check on us which was very nice and the prices are pretty reasonable and the owner was extremely nice. Just remember you will need cash. Thanks so much. We will be back soon

Beautiful setting in the foothills, sit on the front porch and enjoy the mountain stream......get there early to enjoy. Food is very good, family dining atmosphere. If you haven't been, go. Brown bag OK.

Excellent location, people and food. The warm environment and biscuits together makes this place a nice hidden gem. Fair prices and we'll cooked. The green beans are cooked I think in a beef broth (they make themselves) as you can tell they're fresh.

Cozy environment, comfort food, the staff is amazing! The front porch is amazing!

Great food, great service! Very unique restaurant— highly recommend

Linda our waitress is always the best. Southern fried chicken livers were delicious, enough for three people. My husband enjoyed the rotisserie seasoned grilled chicken breast. Maccaroni salad and slaw are always mouth-watering and plentiful.

Pleasant atmosphere. Highly suggest reservations, but if you drop in waiting on the porch, watching the river is a delightful, relaxing way to start dinner.

For chicken liver plate $17, rotisserie season grilled chicken breast $20 (?), all dinners come with family style vinegar slaw, macaroni salad, apple butter and basket of biscuits, green beans and cooked apples.

Sit back. Enjoy good conversation. Savor the food. You won't regret it.

3 things to remember for Caro Mi.
1 - Bring cash. They do not accept plastic, which is awesome.
2 - When you call to make your reservation, Pre-Order if you're having the Half Chicken or Chicken Livers (my favorite) just to be safe. Both are Very popular.
3 - Prepare to have a magnificent dining experience.
