“A couple days ago, I was passing thru town looking for a some type of convenient store that provide us some road trip snacks and we stumbled upon find this hidden gem The Freedom General Store before we were leaving town. Staff were friendly and they offer hot food too! The next day I was out in Charleston and just happen to run into the same staff operating a yellow food truck. Their Gyro Burgers with fries were well worth the money I just wish they had an open sign, I wasn't sure if they were open the first time I was strolling by. But once I smelled that grill I knew it gonna be some good food.????????”
