Cabana Cafe - Newberry

I went to this establishment with a large group from work. My supervisor had made the reservation weeks in advance. The restaurant was contacted and given the order of each individual person the day before and upon arrival the owner advised the group that she didn’t know owner was rude to my supervisor and to my coworkers. While taking orders the owner was extremely rude to the group. We were in a largely diverse group consisting of teachers of the school district and retired teachers. After my supervisor was advised multiple times that the owner was being rude, she attempted to speak with the owner. The owner became irate. My supervisor decided to take the group The Palms, where the group was welcomed with open arms.

Our favorite restaurant in Newberry!Amazing food, great ambience.

My employer made reservations at this establishment to celebrate the end of our summer session and retirees. Upon entering the restaurant, the owner met us with hostility. She was extremely rude and unwelcoming. We attempted to look past her initial behavior in hopes that our experience would get better. Because we had a large group of roughly 18 people we tried to be courteous by proactively having our orders ready prior to coming. The owner did not appreciate this and said so repeatedly with a very derogatory tone. She spoke to our director harshly, advising her that she didn’t need her to do her job. My director, conducting herself in a professional manner, attempted to communicate that she was in no way trying to take over her job, but be helpful because we had a large party. She was not receptive and continued to speak rudely to our entire party. As I was ordering, she interrupted me to tell me I was giving her the order incorrectly. I relayed to her that it was my first time there and I wasn’t very familiar with the menu. “Well you can look at it,” she said. Eventually, our director spoke with her privately to express our horrible experience thus far. The owner was not at all apologetic. Therefore, our director made the decision to take her business elsewhere. So sad that she didn’t not value our group enough to provide us the service that all customers deserve!

This is a hidden gem in Abbeville,SC. A must try. The shrimp skew and loaded bake potato was awesome

Had a clam chowder bread bowl. Best chowder and bread bowl I've ever had.
