Buttermilks Southern Eatery

Nestled on the historic stretch of South JK Powell Boulevard in Whiteville, North Carolina, Buttermilks Southern Eatery invites guests to experience a true Southern breakfast any time of day. The restaurant’s rustic farmhouse interior features reclaimed wood tables, vintage signage, and a sun‑lit patio that overlooks the nearby Whiteville City Park and the iconic Columbus County Courthouse. Chef Jamie Lee, a native of the coastal plain, crafts a menu that celebrates comfort classics: the signature Buttermilk Pancake Stack—three fluffy pancakes drizzled with house‑made maple‑brown sugar sauce—paired with crisp bacon or smoked sausage. Diners also rave about the Southern Sunrise Omelette, loaded with cheddar, diced ham, and fresh garden tomatoes, and the hearty Biscuits and Gravy, served with flaky, butter‑rich biscuits smothered in a savory sausage gravy. For a taste of the coast, the Shrimp & Grits, prepared with creamy stone‑ground grits and sautéed shrimp, offers a delightful twist. Breakfast is served all day from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m., making it a popular stop for early commuters, weekend families, and late‑morning brunch seekers. The friendly staff greets guests with Southern hospitality, and the menu includes locally sourced coffee, sweet tea, and fresh orange juice. With a casual yet welcoming atmosphere, free Wi‑Fi, and ample parking behind the building, Buttermilks Southern Eatery is a go‑to spot for hearty meals, casual meetings, and a taste of true Southern comfort.
