  • Your order will be brought out to your vehicle from the main restaurant entrance as you wait in the line of traffic.
  • Provide access to your vehicle and to the containers you want loaded (bags, boxes, bins or coolers); e.g., unlock the back door or pop the trunk, with containers inside.
  • Wait in your car for the runner to return with your order and load into your containers.
  • If you did not prepay on line with a debit or credit card, please make a check for exact amount when your order is delivered. (You may pay cash in exact amount, but any “change” from cash received will be credited to your account.

Here’s how you can help.:

  • Help us maintain social distance and avoid contact with unsanitized items
  • Bring containers for your order (bags, boxes, bins) but leave them in your vehicle
  • Do NOT offer to return egg cartons, produce containers or other used items
  • Recognize that because of exceptional volume, some items may be sold out; your order will be adjusted and you won’t be charged for any items the vendors can’t deliver.
  • If you didn’t prepay, please bring a check for payment to avoid additional transactions. For future orders, please pay online — we’ll help you register your card..
  • (Again) Be patient — we’re in this together.

NEW PICKUP TIMES! This week we will offer Statesboro customers two choices for picking up their orders – Thursday evening or Friday morning. Sylvania customers will have slightly expanded hours for pickup at their regular venue.

When you place your order, be sure to choose which option you would like.
