The Lantern

The last few years have been tough on food establishments with the Covid-19 pandemic. The Lantern has announced countless restaurant closings across South Carolina in 2023. Unfortunately, another popular eatery will close its doors eighty years after it first opened. Many may be familiar with the famous, iconic big orange sign on South Pleasantburg Drive near the old McAlister Square and Greenville Tech in Greenville, South Carolina. News broke online earlier this week announcing the closure, which left many shocked, with support pouring in for the longtime business. John Allen Zeller posted on Facebook, “Christmas 2023 will bring to a finale the 80 years of Tanner’s Big Orange serving Holiday punch to Greenville.” Jackie Waldrop commented on the same post, “Guess you will be staying home now, John. Hate that the icon is closing down. It will always be remembered as the best place in town to sit in Main Street or under the canopy and have a sandwich and an orange juice.”

There's arguably much to like about eating at a buffet restaurant. You don't have to choose just one item, you get to try many different things, and if you are going to embrace "all you can eat," then a buffet can be economical.
