Po Folks is kinda like Cracker Barrel without the shop in front that
sells cookbooks and t shirts and stuff, and they weren't open for
breakfast. Also, every Cracker Barrel I've ever seen is located at a
highway exit to accommodate the truckers and travelers. I think there
was a PoFolks in Greer; might have eaten there once. There was
another that I used to eat at on South Pleasantburg between McAlister
Square and Greenville Tech near the Tanners Big Orange; I think it's a
pawn shop or gold exchange place these days but that PoFolks closed
about fifteen years ago. I remember the last time I ate at that
PoFolks I got the all you can eat Country Fried Steak.
