Where to eat: the 50 best restaurants in Aiken

Beautiful place! Came here at opening at 5pm on Tuesday 10/14/2025 for a family members birthday dinner celebration! Our server Leah, was very polite and Very attentive! She remembered everyone's orders! If You are coming here with a large group of 10 or more, expect to wait a minimum of an hour and 45 mins for Your food to come out! I had a weg salad with extra bacon. It was just ok! The combination of blue cheese crumbs and balsamic vinaigrette salad dressing is different! My wife had the Shrimp vindo! She stated it i was average! The other family members enjoyed the meals and drinks they had! Its kinda pricey for the small amount of food served to You, but it was an experience!

My son and I ate here to celebrate his 21st birthday. He ordered the short rib manicotti dish, and I ordered the wild boar osso buco. We also shared a blue cheese wedge salad, and a piece of raspberry pie for dessert with ice cream. Everything had amazing flavors. It was warm and properly prepared. There were good portions on the plates as well. It was a little empty because of the holiday, but I Evan, our waiter, did a good job of taking care of us. I do wish the raspberry pie had more raspberries in it, but the meat on my plate was so tender that it fell off of the bone. This made up for the raspberry pie being small. We will definitely return as it is a valuable asset to our community. .

I was in town visiting family and we chose Malia’s for dinner. We made a reservation for 3 at 6:30pm. We were kindly greeted as we walked in and we loved the new decor. We were then seated in the small side room to the right that has 3 tables. Everything started off ok, then soon declined. We felt like we were forgotten because we were seated away from the center area. Service became worse. Our waitress, Paige, was nice at the start, but we felt as if we were being rushed. We were there on a Wednesday evening and there were plenty of empty tables. We were very easy and only there for 1 & 1/2 hours. We felt like we were bothering her. We asked three times (2 different employees) for wine/water refills, which we waited 15 minutes for. Just as we were getting up to find someone to cancel them, they were brought out in a hurry. The wedge salad is good, very small. A small, adorable, well behaved dog was sitting in a chair at the table next us. Her head rested on the table with her owners. She was let down and went over and vomited between our table and hers. Numerous employees noticed it and walked past/over it several times without getting it up. It continued to sit there as we ate our meals. Then, an employee stepped in it and continue on as if not to see it. We really wanted this to be great and see that the new ownership was going well, but we were terribly disappointed. We unfortunately will not be back. For the price of food and atmosphere, The Willcox is a much better option. I truly do not like writing such a negative review, but hopefully they will improve the issues we in countered tonight.

Love this place, food is great and wait staff was excellent. Ambiance was very classy and cozy, only thing I wish they had would be a dress code. Apparently you can walk in off the street in flip flops, shorts, and tshirt.

Went with 3 other people for lunch and we were pretty excited given the very nice ambiance and the reviews but what we got was rather disappointing. The amount of bread provided as a complementary appetizer was 1 slice per person and barely more than just crust. One of us got the spinach salad which didn't even come with all the ingredients listed on the menu (they forgot the walnuts) and frankly I've seen better salads at Panera for 12 bucks. I got the $26 shrimp and grits which were very disappointing and also missing the tomatoes listed as an ingredient on the menu. The grits were almost certainly polenta, hardly any grit to the "grits". And the shrimp, all 5 of them, were unseasoned and uninspired. I was expecting an upscale take on shrimp and grits but what I got was really more an unbalanced, excessively rich and greasy plate. Needless to say I don't think we will be back.

A friend and I stopped in during Amp the Alley. We sat in the courtyard and grabbed a couple of drinks and some apps (Brussels, gnocchi and baked feta). Everything was a delight! We both rated the Brussels at the top of the list. The service was impeccable as well. I highly recommend dining here and can’t wait to go back!

The wait staff is wonderful and the service is good, but the food is not what it once was. I had stale pie the previous time I visited that was microwaved, which made it gelatinous. I thought it was just an off day, but in retrospect, I also had sat next to people who were complaining about the bland buffalo tacos not being upscale-restaurant quality. I will not dine at Malia's again after my recent visit, when I was served room-temperature lobster bisque that the waiter then took back and microwaved. As I ate the soup, I though maybe I would find a piece of two of actual lobster in it — nope. It was a light, cream based "lobster-flavored" broth that tasted of tarragon and had a strange texture with what appeared to be an olive oil drizzled on it. They served that with the heel end of stale bread. I had ordered the greens, and eating the teardrop peppers resulted in such severe indigestion and reflux after I left the restaurant, that I was up all night taking Prilosec. I probably should have stopped at the questionable bisque, but my sweet tooth led me to order dessert - which was stale sticky pudding which they seemed to think would be remedied by covering it with vanilla ice cream, which, if I can put it this way, wasn't exactly the level of Haagen-Dazs. I didn't complain at the time, because I didn't want to cause a disruption or stress out the bartender, who is a nice person; I had empathy for the staff having to deal with the decline in quality. This was such a waste of my hard-earned money that I am now avoiding eating out. If a high-end restaurant with a previously exceptional and reliable reputation is serving this sorry excuse for gourmet food, then I am concerned about what the mid-level restaurants may be serving. Not just no, but hell no.

Happy, non-assuming little place that could easily be overlooked. Friendly staff, clean digs, delicious grub - what more could you ask for? If you order the Chopped Cheese (and you should), try it with the pimento cheese instead of American. Big fan of the fried okra! They keep the batter really thin, so you actually taste okra rather than breading.

Great food and cool little place. Not what we were expecting but enjoyed our visit. Little different from traditional café as you order and pay then get a number to set on your table. You get your own drinks, silverware, condiments... only reason for a 3 on the service. The waitresses and bussers were great but it was odd getting your own stuff. We both had build your own omelets, food came out really fast and hot. Food was great, nice size omelets with good fillings. Menu little small but has the basics.

What a beautiful, local experience. Hands down, this is the best restaurant with homey vibes in Aiken yet. This place feels nostalgic, I needed a place for inspiration so that I could write again and I found it here! Aiken has always been my home, I was born and raised here. This place is by far the best restaurant I've been to in this area. I love the coffee house music that plays, it's very retro and gives me new ideas and clarity. I had the Spinach Bacon Salad!! It was absolutely AMAZING! If you're going for breakfast, you have to get the grits. I added cheese in mine, they are the best grits I've ever had hands down (and I was raised on grits!). I had the Strawberry Shortcake Cheesecake with my lunch today and it was worth every penny. The prices are beyond reasonably for the amount of food you get on your plate and the quality of each bite. I am not over exaggerating when I tell you, if you're looking for a place to eat that has an "Aiken-feel" and right in the historical part of cozy downtown Aiken, look no further than "What's Cookin'". You're welcome. Oh! I told you so. 😉

We took our family of five (two adults and three children) to What’s Cooking and had a great overall experience. The food was delicious, the service was friendly, and the prices were very reasonable—our total bill came to about $75. I ordered the French dip and was thoroughly impressed. The meat was tender, flavorful, and perfectly cooked—easily one of the best I’ve had. Highly recommend it. My wife had the club sandwich and enjoyed it with no complaints. For the kids, we ordered a grilled cheese, hamburger, and chicken sandwich. Everyone was happy with their meal, except for one of my daughters who thought the chicken was a bit dry. I tried it myself and thought it was delicious. The small side of chili we ordered was also a hit. My youngest daughter even recommended dipping the grilled cheese into the chili for extra flavor—a surprisingly good combo. Overall, What’s Cooking delivered a satisfying, family-friendly meal. We’ll definitely be back and gladly recommend it to others.

My third visit. Some of our friends told us what a great place downtown Aiken was. So, about 4 years ago, a few of us ventured from our hometown of Augusta to see for ourselves. What a joy it had been and for the past 3 years we have made it an annual visit. The food is great, the people at What's Cooking are great and the atmosphere is fantastic. We'll be back next year. And maybe I'll try that rainbow cake!

Literally the best grits I’ve ever had! Ordered the terminator breakfast Lol not much to it, for the price you would expect at least it be served with toast but no. Ordered the grits as a side( additional charge) grits so good made up for disappointing breakfast plate. Restaurant is very clean and beautifully set up. Will definitely be back and give lunch a try.

Absolutely a must visit when visiting Aiken SC. Food and service was great , however being a first time visitor I was unaware of having to get my own silverware and drinks. There were no signs posted about self service and wasn't till my meal arrived and I asked where my coffee was the waitress then kindly explained it to me. Other then that the restaurant was terrific 👍

One of the only places in town to get different! Consistent menus changes with great food to me is key to a successful restaurant. We eat out A LOT locally to support our restaurants and eating the same menu items for over 3-5 months gets mundane. No worries here bc they are always changing the menu! Want something a little exotic they have that too! My favorite non alcoholic bev is the Easy H8MP Co spicy marg! Crush it! We have been two weeks in a row and I highly recommend the pork chops. They are delicious. I ate them both weeks. Everybody in my party absolutely thought there. Entrées were delicious as well. Whiskey Alley has the best bourbon the best drinks and the best service in Aiken go give them a try!

I stopped by and had the fish and chips—and wow, it did not disappoint! The flavor, texture, and freshness were all top-notch. You can really tell the quality of the ingredients is above average, and while the price was a bit higher than some places, it was absolutely worth it for what you get. The service was warm and welcoming, and the atmosphere felt laid-back but refined. I’ve heard from several people that the burger here is the best in town, so I’m definitely planning to come back and try it for myself. This place is a gem—great food, great vibes, and clearly a place that takes pride in what they serve. Highly recommend!

I ordered the salad - the 'lil" one and some of the leaves were a bit slimy as well as the cucumber slices. The dressing had a good flavor. Our hot pepperoni/salami sub was very lite on meat. Like a slice of each on each half. The wait staff was amazing. Cute bottle idea for water.

First time visiting Aiken and walked in on a Thursday night around 7 pm. They had a table available for us inside, but busy enough that we were asked if we had reservations. Ambiance, food and service was excellent. Definitely will visit again next time we're in Aiken.

This was our first visit to Whiskey Alley and wow, completely blown away by the entire experience. We went to celebrate our anniversary and were first greeted by flowers and a signed card on our table! All the staff that we came into contact with were friendly and knowledgeable. We will definitely be returning!

On a Saturday night, Whiskey Alley was very busy so we elected to be seated in the enclosed outdoor backroom. Menu selection was good and our selected entrees and cocktails did not disappoint. This area of Aiken was a very busy social gathering place and would be great for people watching. Parking was at a premium and we found parking a few blocks away... the walk to Whiskey Alley was enjoyable.

Whiskey Alley never disappoints. Daniel and Halsie behind the bar are incredible, welcoming, attentive, and truly passionate about what they do. They make you feel like a regular the moment you sit down. The espresso martini is the best in town and their whiskey knowledge is next-level. If you get the chance to be served by Daniel or Halsie, you’re in great hands!

We really enjoyed our first time here. Very nice atmosphere. Nicely greeted. The food was delicious!!! I had the special....eggplant and veal parmesan with pasta and my husband had a pasta and sausage dish. Next time I will ask for less sauce but it was good. The calamari could have been crunchier but still had a good flavor. We will definitely be going back!!!

An old friend of mine invited me out with her husband while I was visiting Aiken. She recommended casa Bella as it was one of her husband's favorites and since I had not had Italian for quite a while it was perfectly fine with me. Located in downtown Aiken Casa Bella is literally a repurposed house serving final Italian cuisine. The restaurant has a wonderful wine list and if you don't know what to have with dinner, the server will be more than happy to provide a suggestion. We started dinner with calamari and mushroom fries, which are a large portobello mushroom 10 into strips lightly breaded and fried. Both excellently done. I ordered lasagna, my friend ordered veal Marsala, and her husband had a special of the day chicken with dehydrated tomatoes and peppers. The veal and chicken dishes were well received. I am the other hand was slightly disappointed with the lasagna. Although a very healthy portion with a lovely sauce and lots of meat, there's an apparent lack of cheese. Look at the photograph and tell me you see any ricotta. I didn't see any of the wait staff nor our waiter for quite some time after lasagna had been placed in front of me. So I continued on with eating and by time our waiter showed up I was well through halfway done and didn't bring up the matter. Overall, dinner was well received by all and conversation catching up on old times and discussions of current affairs made up for lack of cheese. This is nothing to not recommend or find fault with the restaurant, and I would consider returning, if I get back to Aiken.

Would say it was a 5 star experience, I got something to try that was not to my taste, but it was me branching out. The risotto was phenomenal the veg of the day was green beans and they were well seasoned and crisp. The potato soup was good enough to be a stand alone meal, and the bread with the oil and roasted garlic paired well with everything. The show stopper was really the crème Brûlée, with a nice cappuccino to accompany. It had a excellent crust, and was simple and delicious. Want to comment on our server. He was also wonderful.

What a great restaurant, I had spaghetti and meatballs and my wife have pasta primavera. Both were excellent. And dog friendly on the beautiful patio.

Maybe my expectations were too high? We typically go to another ‘nice-ish’ restaurant when in town but thought we’d try here. Our group of 8 put in a small room upstairs which was nice for privacy and ambiance but HOT. It was at least 10 degrees cooler when we left the room. Our server was patient and did well taking orders and getting checks right. My Veal Marsala was room temperature even almost close to cool (as were most other dishes noted by my dinner mates). We had already waited so long for our food I didn’t want to complain or send back… I probably should have. It was not very flavorful (I’ve had at many restaurants so have a good palate to compare), a tad more chewy than tender and the pasta that came with it just plain noodles. The house salad was fine and bread was highlight of meal. We came, we tried but alas we probably won’t return. I wish I had a picture of food but didn’t want to see rude in front of my dinner party. Perhaps it was an off night- ciao bella.

Arrived at a Saturday night with no reservation so I'm taking that into consideration. However, at the time we arrived, the restaurant was not busy and many tables were empty. We were greeted at sat and told by the hostess that she would be back with menus. It took about 15 minutes for her to return. The entire service experience was mediocre at best. Food: Chicken Marsala was very salty. Chicken picotta was good. Overall, environment was nice, lot of potential given the history but this particular experience left much to be desired.

Loved the steak. I had the Chicken Marsala, not as flavorful as I would have liked but still tasty. Service was good, and timely. We will go back.

Currently sitting at the table and I just can’t believe how nasty the food was. Very salty and an unpleasant sight to see. Our waitress was very rude I don’t know her name however if you decide to come here you can’t miss the disgusting attitude she has. I order the Veggie Chettinad, Husband had the Navratan Korma and my Parents order the Taj Biryani Deluxe. I’ve been here 3 times and this experience was horrible. Food was nasty uuugggghhhhh what a waste. Also our naan bread was burnt (sigh) the pictures speak for themselves. Our waitress came back at the very end to check to see how the food was after another waitress helped us and checked us out. My husband was the only one who enjoyed his food. We won’t be coming back.

I've experienced Taj a couple of time. My experiences have been consistence. I've gone when they are busy and moderately occupied. The acoustics was surprisingly friendly even when it's packed. The environment in terms of decor and service met my expectations. The dishes were par with my expectations in terms of aroma and flavor. Proportion was on the lighter side compare to my other experiences for the cost point. It's pretty much a monopoly in the market in the area.

My husband and I went to the restaurant because he wanted to try their food. The waiter didn't appear interested in ensuring we enjoyed the restaurant as a first time customer. We were not offered any refills on drinks nor the occasional "how is everything ". I felt as if I forced myself into someone home and asked for a plate of food. The service to other customers were great; however we did not receive the friendly gestures. My husband, whose is Caucasian, noticed the treatment was different for us and another African-American woman in restaurant. We will not be back needlessly to say.

Great consistent food. Priced fairly and very shareable. The owner is a big supporter of the community. Alok Kumar is a very kind and generous man.

I have not been back here in a while but this is definetly a spot I need to return again to. The atmosphere is very good and cozy. Lots of customers inside when I dined here. It was a impromptu stop in and I had not intended to eat here tonight. But suffice to say this is probably one of the best local restaurants I've ever tried. The food portions were generous and you could tell everything was prepared from scratch. This place is fine for dining solo or with a small group. The paneer and garlic naan I had was sublime and the medium spicy was not overpowering at all and just the right amount. 10/10 I'll be back.

Ordered take out. 2 chicken Tikka Marsala ask for mild heat and Garlic Naan. Chicken was super dry, tikka Marsala was too sweet, but garlic Naan was good. Flavor was just one note and tasted bland. I’ve had many of frozen tikka Marsala taste better. Really wished for better. Service was good and Atmosphere seemed nice while I was waiting to pay.

Well made desi flavor... Loved it. To my surprise it was one of best desi food in US i have tested...

First trip here was in 1968. Chili dogs as good now as they were then.

Love the burgers here. They are homemade. Not frozen from a box. I was a little surprised when I found out that they don't come with a side. Everything is a-la-carte. That's the only reason for 4 stars. I did try one of my husbands onion rings and they were quite good. I'm not sure if they're fresh, but they are a whole onion ring. Not some chopped up what-not that's onion-wanna-be. 🙂 The service was quick and the place is clean. Looking forward to returning for yet another tasty burger.

Friendly staff, good beer special, good burger! We had a single cheese burger with tots and a double cheeseburger with fries. Both good!

This was my first visit to City Billiards, although my lovely wife has been there before and recommended it. Pretty quiet at 3:00 on a Monday afternoon but I'll bet things pick up a lot in the evening. I had the Philly Cheesesteak and it was excellent. Ditto for the onion rings. Caroline had the Club Sandwich with French fries and said they were delicious! I look forward to returning so I can try their Best Cheeseburger You'll Ever Eat!

First time visiting for me. Sat at the corner of the bar with a great view of multiple TVs and the grill. Immediately met by a friendly server who quickly brought my requested PBR. I knew I was there for a cheeseburger and ordered the “double” with a side of onion rings. As I watched the two, hand portioned balls of ground meat hit the grill I thought there was a possibility that my eyes were larger than my stomach. The burger arrived a perfect medium and the onion rings were so hot that I could barely handle them! Everything was cooked to perfection and proved the saying on the staff’s shirts. “Best Cheeseburger in town!” There were no leftovers! Friendly, locals kind of place. Highly recommended and I’ll definitely be back!

We certainly did not have the experience we were expecting based on reviews. We sat down with one other 3 top in the entire place. We were a party of 4. The server immediately gave the vibe that she was annoyed we were there. It was 1904, they close at 2000. We ordered and waited. And waited and waited. The food arrived at 1957. Nearly an hour later for 3 burgers and a sandwich!! My food disappointment began with the sad serving of crinkle cut French fries. A recent review said the fries were hand cut. They aren’t. But I like crinkle cut… I just don’t like crinkle cut pieces! There wasn’t as evidenced by my pic, a single fry over 2” long. Fries don’t come with burgers- they are extra. My next disappointment ( along with the rest of the table) was the small burgers and completely unseasoned meat. Not a drop of salt. Blandest burger ever. Mine was supposed to have Gouda, a fried green tomato and remoulade . The tomato was the butt end, sliced super thin and tiny. There wasn’t any discernible remoulade and I looked. Oh haha almost forgot the grilled onions because like everything else it was virtually non-existent. I paid about $20 for that plus a generous 20% tip for lackluster service. The atmosphere was fine and the place looked clean. Someone else in our party ordered chili cheese fries that should have just been called chili fries . The cheese was a mere pathetic sprinkle. There won’t be a return visit for us.

They really do have the best burger in town. They are not a performed patty but an actual smashed burger. The homemade chips are good to. And they have really good fried green tomatoes The prices on this site are wrong as they have gone up but what hasn't these days? It is still a good value for your money. I can't wait to eat there again.

Good bbq. Actually cooked on a real smoker.the sides were great old school cooking. Lima beans..squash casserole. Fried potatoes. Ribs and pulled pork. The star of the day was the fried pork chops really good stuff. My only criticism would be the banana pudding was just pudding with some Nilla wafers crushed on top. Very basic compared to the rest of the buffet.

This is a review of the breakfast buffet. I think it's only on Saturday mornings, but I could be wrong. It's got all the hallmark qualities of a Dukes lunch/dinner buffet: tons of options, good taste, and super clean. They had pancakes, French toast sticks, biscuits and gravy, grits, several different egg casseroles and scrambled eggs, hashbrowns, bacon, sausage links and patties, breakfast potatoes, chicken, a fruit bar, yogurt parfaits, cereal, and a coffee bar. They also have that "good ice." No complaints here--the atmosphere is warm and inviting, the food is fresh, and the drinks were however you wanted them. If you are looking for a fast, in-and-out breakfast that isn't fast food, this is definitely worth a try.

Love it every time we come. Nice environment. Comfortable and spacious. The food is hot and delicious. Great choice of drinks. The staff is so friendly and helpful.

We decided to try Duke’s BBQ while visiting Aiken, based on the many positive reviews. One thing I appreciated right away was the handwashing station conveniently located at the check-in where you pay—such a thoughtful touch! The food selection was impressive, offering everything from classic Southern fried favorites to barbecue chicken, ribs, chopped pork, and all the fixings. There were even three different dessert options and fresh fruit available. I also liked that the price included a drink—no extra charge, which is rare for a buffet-style restaurant. For the price, I felt it was a good value overall. However, if you’re a serious barbecue foodie, the flavor might fall a bit short of expectations. One downside to our visit was that the air conditioning was broken, making the restaurant uncomfortably warm and taking away from the overall dining experience.

We are always looking for good BBQ, especially on a buffet, and in SC they abound in generally good quality. Most are dressed 'down-home' with a moderate selection. And, in SC a lot of them are called Duke's. Some are related, others are not. I don't know the affiliation of this one. The location is out-of-the-way, the building looks recent and parking is plentiful. The late-lunch crowd was large and energetic and the dining area was crowded. But the staff was very helpful to find seats for us and bring drinks. There was lots of Styrofoam and plastic, on par for the cuisine. The buffet selection was very nice with side including hash and rice, a couple of bean choices and, of course, fresh Mac & Cheese. They had BBQ and fried chicken and I tried both. Large pieces, delicious and very juicy without being sloppy. The pulled pork BBQ and ribs were fresh and very tasty with a decent offering of sauces (although I prefer to taste the meat first). Even with the drive, this Duke's will be a regular for us.

We came down from Ohio to visit family, and we wanted to try Carolina BBQ while we were on our trip. We drove here from Lexington, and it was well worth the 40 min drive. The buffet, food was absolutely incredible, everything was fresh and hot, all the dishes felt like they were home-cooked by someone's grandma. The Manager, April, was incredibly personable and a delight to chat with, as well as the owner who visited our table and welcomed us, and gave us the rundown of the weekend breakfast which sounded fantastic. 10/10 overall experience. Highly recommend, cant wait to go back.

Enjoyed the breakfast today. Many good food choices on the buffet. Variety of egg options was nice and the meats were good. Nice fruit and yogurt options also. Nice weekend treat.

I really wanted to like this place. We have a Lake house here in Aiken and visit periodically. This occasion was for my husbands birthday. We played a few rounds of golf and then grabbed dinner ant the Willcox afterwards. The ambience is nice, but we were squished at a two seated table, with another table right next to us. We had no privacy, or intimacy. We could hear their conversation the entire time. It did not feel romantic whatsoever. The service was okay, it took a while to initially track our server down. The wine selection was nice. However the food was awful. The steak was overcooked and tasted like cilantro. It was very overpowering. I would come back to drink here and ask for a different table. I most certainly would not dine here again, especially for a special occasion.

A lovely dinner at the Willcox. We have been a few times, and the Sixty South Salmon never disappoints. A nice environment with friendly staff. The only downside was the black truffle gratin that came with the fillet. My spouse said it was good but underseasoned (only item not eaten). I had the dessert special, cookies and cream gelato, delicious. 🍴 House chips and blue. cheese dip 🍴 Sixty South Salmon 🍴 CAB 6oz fillet 🥄 Cookies and Cream Gelato

First I have to mention the wheelchair entrance is on the side by the pool. We came for Saturday brunch and everything was fantastic. The salmon poke was to die for with in-house made taro chips. The flavors were an explosion in your mouth! The eggs Benedict, avocado toast and catfish po boy & fries were ok. They were far outshined by the poke!! No complaints and our waitress was very sweet. Can't wait to be able to come back.

My wife and I had dinner here and both of our Entrees were delicious. We also got the oysters and they were amazing.

5 star service from the the car to the table. Valet attendants were kind and helpful. They had a beautiful lobby with live piano accompaniment to set a beautiful atmosphere. We arrived early and were offered early seating or drinks at the bar. Our waiter, Tristan, was highly attentive and provided us with helpful recommendations for our meal choices. Everything we ate was delicious! We also appreciated the small touches of several staff commenting on our anniversary, a small note, and drinks from the restaurant. 10/10 would recommend and look forward to coming back in the future.

My wife, son and I enjoyed a fine dinner, celebrating our 19 year anniversary recently. We were served by Bruce, who treated us with flawless service and pleasant conversation. He remained aware of our needs without 'hovering', keeping our glasses full and courses perfectly timed. My wife and I had the salmon dinner with asparagus, which was cooked perfectly. Both cuts were flaky with excellent texture. Not over cooked on the outside or under cooked in the center. My son had the burger with truffle fries, which was also cooked to perfection. All dinners were served together; a tip to the cook who timed the meals so well. The meals were hot while the plates were room temperature - a sign no 'heating lamps' were used. Overall, an outstanding meal. We highly recommend asking for Bruce for the perfect dinning experience.

Went to celebrate my birthday. It was worth it. Food was very good and our server was very knowledgeable, funny and professional. (Wish I could remember his name so I could send him a shout out). It was pricey though. Many of the cocktails and liquor they offer, can be bought at other establishments for a significant lesser amount.

I’ve visited this establishment twice. I do like the pizza, the wings were not bad, my favorite was the pollo picante pizza, not sure what “NOLA sauce” is bc it didn’t taste like anything I’ve had in NOLA but the pizza was very good. I do think this place is a little pricey & the service is not very friendly. I just moved back to the area from NOLA so maybe I’m used to a different level of friendliness. The service alone makes me want to avoid this place, they seem bothered :(

My family and I have recently moved to Aiken and we are so thankful to have found this place! The staff is very friendly and the food is the highest quality you can find in the state! This is a small business focused on quality above all else so sometimes the wait is longer if they’re busy, but the food is worth it! The dough is crunchy but not filling, the sauce has that fresh tomato flavor, and the cheese is just perfection. Our favorites are the New Haven and the Margherita - vera. If you’re in the area and have the time to enjoy a certified authentic Italian experience, you won’t be disappointed!

This restaurant changed my entire perspective of pizza. Best pizza of my life. We live over an hour away and have wanted to try their pizza for over a year. Upset we didn’t come earlier. We tried the Margherita, New Haven and Vesuvius pizzas. My wife liked the Margherita the best and I liked the Vesuvius the best. That’s not saying much as they all were amazing. I regret not getting a fourth or fifth at this point. The desserts, Spumoni Bomba and Cannoli, were excellent as well. I’m an ice cream guy so I devoured most of the Spumoni and my wife loved the Cannoli. We will definitely be back and try other pizzas and maybe get 5 or 6 because they were just as delicious out of the toaster oven.

Apizza Di Napoli and I have a love hate relationship. On one hand - I’ll gladly drive the 2 hours here to eat traditional Neapolitan Pizza that’s certified. (I think it’s the only one in the state now.) that’s kicks me back to my childhood and lets the adult in me relax. In the other hand - there’s a lot of rules for this place and rather staff or the owner being patient or just pointing at a sign, or being excited to share the experience or culture of it - you are treated like a baccalà. This isn’t your normal pizza place - this an experience - so if expecting a catered experience - throw your expectations into the trash and enjoy your little slice of Europe in Aiken. Don’t let the strip mall tell you otherwise - this is a high end restaurant hiding in horse country.

We were in town (Aiken) for a soccer game. We came from Columbia. I've known of this restaurant for a while, just had not had a chance to try it. Well we did, and I must say, the PIZZA is spectacular. I am from Naples Italy and this is exactly how you get it when you eat PIZZA where PIZZA was invented. I had a chance to chat with the owner, she is 100% Italian from Avellino, no fakes there unlike other Italian places. We will definitely be back when we are back in town. Or maybe occasionally just take a drive just to enjoy this original Neapoletan Pizza. This restaurant is like an hidden treasure in Aiken, SC. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

Meatballs were pretty good but a bit pricey Pizza was way underdone. On our way out the manager offered to make another one and he would make sure it was perfect. That should have been done the first time. I didn’t say anything when it was delivered because I wanted to see how the food is presented and served the first time around. This is what they served so I accepted it and paid my bill. I will not be back.

This place has the best pizza around...hands down. The service however, is very impersonal. You are greeted by someone who will seat you and then robotically delivers a rehearsed speech about how you must use a QR code to see the menu (no big deal) and when you decide on your order you have to get up from your table and walk back to the register to place your order. The person that takes the order at the window never returns to ask how the food is or, if you need a drink refill, etc. When you finish, you have to return to the window again to pay on the way out. Very strange way to run a restaurant. Cold and impersonal service but, that being said...I reiterate, best pizza around.

We checked out the Prime Steakhouse. Hubby had been a couple of times with work. It was my first time. The portions were more than I was expecting. We were too full to check out the dessert menu, next time. 🍴 Sides: (special) carrots in cauliflower puree and mascarpone and pomme frites 🍴 Salmon 🍴 NY strip

Last Friday was our second time dining at Prime Steakhouse. This visit was to celebrate my beautiful wife's birthday. We both had the 8 oz filet mignon; mine was ordered medium and hers medium well. Both steaks were very good and cooked to our expectations. They came with mashed potatoes and onion rings that were also quite tasty. My wife also had a house salad that she loved and a Maryland crab cake that she'll eat tonight because the servings are a nice size and she ordered too much food... We also ordered a peanut butter chocolate pie to go that we devoured later and it was scrumptious. Our server, Ravyn, was excellent. Friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. And even though we ordered our dessert to go, she first brought it to the table with a Happy Birthday and a candle on it! Thanks Ravyn! Finally, the pricing. This is an expensive restaurant for our small town. I'm not complaining, and I knew that before we came here. When you order items beyond the entrees, it adds up quickly.

This hidden gem was what my husband and I needed for a night out. It reminded me of a cute, quaint, romantic spot in Birmingham. The hostess was very cordial as was the server. I will say she was the best in the place and we made sure to let her know when we left her a nice tip! She's a treasure! The food was absolutely delicious. I started off with the crab cake as an appetizer. My husband had calamari. We chose the filet mignon and cowboy ribeye with an added lobster tail for our entrees. Everything was seasoned to perfection. I had only one small issue which was that my steak came out warm instead of hot. I mentioned it to our server but declined sending it back. I declined because I didn’t want to wait and have my husband finish eating before I could eat and it was as seasoned so well until I just looked past that small detail. Other than my butter not melting on my steak, everything was absolutely amazing and I cannot wait to dine again!

Excellent in every way. The steak was amazing, the halibut was too. Service and atmosphere made for a wonderful dinner date with my wife.

The food was delicious. We ranged from Crab Cakes to 3 different types of steak. Everyone enjoyed their meal. The garlic mashed potatoes were also great. The only reason my overall rating is not higher, is the value. Pretty pricey when I have had food just as good, for half the cost.

Not sure how it was possible to split a dinner and still have a $200 tab. Could be an $18 split plate fee? (2nd plate had mashed potatoes with a hard crust from being under the warmer and 2 onion rings, we had to split our own steak at the table --a little awkward). We've talked for a while about trying out Prime as the owner advertises having his own cattle ranch. Coming from a family of butchers, I was excited for a great cut of beef. We split the 24 oz bone in cowboy steak and it was gristly and underdone. Our server Raven was fabulous and attentive. The wine list was very minimal and low quality. My husband's spinach was lukewarm. 4 tables on a Friday night and 4 servers, the bartender and plastic-aproned dishwasher all playing on their phones. We were very disappointed.

We had a great time! They offer a fantastic experience from their staff to their food to their incredible cocktails!

I have been going here for years and the food and service have always been top notch. However, a visit this past Saturday was surprising when I was served an order of yellow tail and mackerel sashimi. I’m including a photo of the dish that was presented but should have never left the kitchen. I thought it was raw chicken and cat food. Our waitress was lovely, it was not her fault but we did learn that the regular sushi chef was on medical leave and whomever was covering had no idea what they were doing. I’ll be back again for sure but am gonna to wait a few months.

Went to Takosushi with high expectations. As a chef and culinary guru I expected taste as well as presentation to be on point. My initial order of grill salmon with sautéed veggies and beans.....Was a No Go!!! NO FLAVOR AND PLATED WITH FOOD NOT CENTERED....MESSY!!!! As Chef and Culinary Guru and Food Teste you just expect greatness at every spoonful at a place like Takosushi. 7/10 My second selection and recommendation from the hostess was a SMASHING HUT!!! THE POKIE BOWL WAS AMAZING 10/10 FOR SURE

Today my family and I wanted to try something new and we found this cute little place. The inside was clean and neat and when we walked in we were greeted with the friendliest smile from the hostess she was very nice and had great customer service. I didn't quite get her name but I think it was Ary. She wore a skirt and pigtails with bows 10/10 hostess. The inside looked clean and the whole staff were so welcoming. The food was amazing!!!!! I ordered a Greenville roll it was a 10/10 full compliments to the chef. I almost licked my plate clean lol. Overall this place not only has great customer service but good food and an amazing atmosphere. I 100% recommend going.

I will start with the good here, seaweed salad was very large and very good. Now for the bad, the salmon was horrible we got the nigiri, had the Augusta roll I would not get that again and my biggest complaint is having the minimum tip amount for the option was way above what I would normally tip. It was 20%. That's ridiculous for a minimum choice. I don't think we would come back here The food quality was just poor for the fish. The taco was fine.

We ate at takosushi tonight. Everything was amazing. We were in and out in around 45 minutes and Jacob’s service was exceptional

A very nice place with great atmosphere. Service was amazing, our waitress Dee was fantastic. The big issue was the food. The sushi, even though it was good quality, it just wasn't made very well. It was like I made it for the 1st time. They were way to big, just too much rice. Even on the Japanese Bagel roll, the cream cheese pieces were way too big, so eating it tasted like biting into a block of cream cheese, where you couldn't taste the Salmon. Then my wife got the Filet Mignon tacos, but the meat was mostly fatty, and Gristlely. We told our waitress Dee, who brought it to the manager, who agreed and remade it for her. The new steak was better, but was not a Filet, but more sirloin. The Calamari was very tasty, and the dipping sauce was awesome. Our taquitos were really good too. They had a lot on neat and creative items on the menu, so I would probably try them again, but I would be a little suspect.

Went with a group of four and had the best time! Music was great, it felt amazing inside (when compared to outside humidity), and had wonderful service from Lexi. Definitely planning to make this a regular spot with my coworkers! Only downside was no steak and I was looking forward to the steak taco. Manager came by to explain the situation and provided excellent alternative options. The Blackened Fish Taco was great so thank you for the recommendation!!! All in all, five stars! Will definitely be back to hopefully get my steak tacos!

Had the green 🍏 tomatos.. under seasoned,firm cooked perfectly.... Charbroil oysters, magnificent...I had cod platter my date catfish.the fish was flakey & delicious. The greens were "ok".I've learned in the south there's a million different ways people cook greens..(under seasoned).but ok... But BABY THE RED BEANS 🫘 (OR LACK THERE OF)& RICE WAS THE STAR OF THE SHOW.. ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS. Just needed more beans ..WAiter was great very attentive. I'm definitely going back

This was our first time here, came around 4:30 on a Friday early in March. Not super busy yet (probably would have been later). There were no prices for beer or cocktails on the bar menu, so we didn't order any (I hate asking for a price; although the menu does helpfully inform you that "you can buy the kitchen staff a round for an extra $10"). Our fish and chips came with a couple of quite hard little hushpuppies. It was disappointing that a small side of coleslaw isn't included with a fish and chip meal (this is the 765th fish and chip restaurant in North America that we have eaten at by the way, and of those only 7 have not served a small coleslaw with the dinner) A 18-22% tip is recommended and thoughtfully calculated for your convenience. Our waitress was perfunctory.

We wanted to go to Aiken Fish house to try their new menu items. The food was good as is typical. The new menu now charges extra for premium sides and doesn’t offer a couple of the items from before such as grouper. We were disappointed in that because my son wanted to order a grouper. The waitress was sweet and the place was clean. The sweet potato fries were really good as were the collard greens. My baked potato was dense and dry, so be sure to request a fresh one. And my catch of the day was very tiny as far as the size. If I had known that I would’ve ordered something different. I’m happy that we have this restaurant in Aiken, and will go again.

The place was FULL on a Monday (7:15pm they close at 9pm) and we STILL were able to get seated within 10 minutes without a reservation. I suggest calling ahead if needed. The floor was sticky in the restroom and in certain areas of the dining section (im assuming it was due to the time we arrived vs time business closes + customer volume). The Whole Red Snapper Plate (photo) was a hit for some. Others enjoyed the burgers, and the hush puppies were cooked "Just Right!". The fries were over seasoned, the rice & beans lacked flavor and was dry. (Again could be due to the time of our dining). Our server was Great! Didn't need to ask for refills. She would check the table at the right times (not when your mouth is full of food 🤣). We were not acknowledged right away upon entering - again, they were PACKED, and there is only 1 hostess. The other staff (who were by the door- bartender, waitresses) didn't acknowledge either, but personally, I'm only interested in how my own wait staff is since they are getting my tip. Overall, it was an OK experience, again could be due to the time we choose to go vs the time the business closes.

Drove down on the golf cart as usual! Was super excited about the new menu. Holy guacamole May the 4th be with you the fish house crew has blown it out the water! Its the largest menu i have seen since AFH opened! Its loaded with a lot of good stuff! We had pimento cheese shrimp jelly jam w/ naan and hush puppies. One of the best appetizers I’ve ever had! Wings were wings but the Teri Hot sauce reminded me of Wife Savers flavor back in the day. Daughter had poke bowl and loved it and fiancé had blacked salmon. We loved everything we had and was very pleased

We were told about this spot the Aiken Fish House,it took us an hour to get here but it was worth the drive. It’s in a shopping center with a large amount of parking, we arrived about 6:00 Saturday afternoon with no reservations.The wait was only about 8 or 9 minutes. The staff was very friendly as well as the customers. We had Dana as our waitress and she did a phenomenal job with helping us to decide what we would order. We ordered blackened alligator tail as our appetizer. The hubby had the Seafood platter which was enough for two and I ordered the fish & shrimp with two sides. Everything was delicious and seasoned so well. I don’t like bland food without seasoning. The chef’s took there time and cooked with love it was good. We also tried an oyster shot which was a little spicy but different. All in all we enjoyed the experience.

Julie was an exceptional server as she was attentive and personable .My wife absolutely enjoyed the Tipsey tower. The gator tail was excellent. I had the fish and chips that was also amazing. We will definitely be coming back. Thanks Aiken Fish House!

This was our second time eating here and it’s so good! Food does take a bit longer than going to a chain restaurant but we are happy to wait! Our favorite place to eat in our new hometown.

Was looking for good wings. Unfortunately they weren't good... they were fantastic. Cooked fresh, so a little wait, but worth it. Staff is super friendly too! I took it to go.

Service was good, but she wasn't very personable. Chili was good but needed more of a sauce, plenty of meat. Clam chowder was very hearty. Cheese dip was different, a little thicker than I imagined. Yo mamma sandwich was ok. Wings were ok but I've had better. The flights were the highlight. Especially loved the #1 Kentucky bourbon barrel ale.

Incredible! Just had to go lunch and everything was fantastic. The fish sandwich was HUGE, crispy, and great flavor. The chicken sandwich was also HUGE and delicious. We had the sweet potato tater tots and coleslaw sides. Everything was perfect and it was under $30

Outstanding pub food. Did not expect many gluten free gf options - they had a few. Pork nachos are top notch. Hamburger steak w grilled onions is pretty good - nice portions. Good value for money. <$80 including drinks for a party of 3.

The food was great and the service was good. It was a little crowded at the time which does speak well of the service still be attentive. The servers did help each other out which I've seen be an issue at other places. To me that speaks well of the teamwork of the employees.

We always enjoy eating at Grumpy's. Good sandwiches, wings, tenders and sides. I don't drink, but my friends that do like the large selection of beers available. My favorite is their Chicken Tender Basket, with a side of onion rings. Large, tender, juicy chicken cooked perfectly! Delicious, and I dip them in BBQ or teriyaki sauce. My beautiful wife likes their generous sandwiches, with either Curly Fries or Fried Okra as a side.

My husband, father in law and I had brunch in the restaurant. Incredible! Food was absolutely amazing. The service was top notch! We will be going back. The hotel is so beautiful. I loved that they had the history of this gorgeous hotel on the table for you to read. Definitely go if you get the chance.

My daughters 25 & 23 tried throwing a party for me for my 50th. The service was great, the food was great, but my kids were not set up for success by the event coordinator, Kathryn. Poor communication skills and only called us once after at least 5-10 emails, and multiple calls to basically every department at Willcox with no return call. Every email had a phone number attached. I spoke with her personally and she denied communicating with my young adults and put the blame on them . That’s not right. In the future, I would not host here. They definitely need help in event coordinating department. I saw her in Willcox that night and she never checked in on the party. Isn’t that the coordinator’s job? Anyway, on a good note. Matt called the following day and apologized to my daughters. Hats off to Matt, because she never called.

My wife and I usually make the drive down for special occasions to dine at your restaurant, and each visit is truly a wonderful experience. Every time we go, the staff is exceptionally courteous and professional, the food is consistently outstanding, and the service is excellent. It’s always a pleasure to enjoy such a warm and welcoming atmosphere — a truly perfect place for a memorable dining experience.

Our stay and event experience at The Willcox was absolutely wonderful! The venue was beautiful, the service was impeccable, and everything ran smoothly from start to finish. A huge thank-you to Katherine, who went above and beyond to ensure everything was successful. Highly recommend The Willcox and their amazing team for any special occasion!

My wife surprised me with an “empty nesters” night away, and it was absolutely perfect. From the relaxing couples massage and soothing pedicure to the delicious dinner and breakfast, every moment felt special. The staff were so kind, professional, and genuinely caring — they went out of their way to make sure we had a wonderful experience. It was exactly what we needed and left us feeling refreshed and grateful.

Attended a seminar on retirement planning. The steak dinner was incredible. The building's history is incredible with a nick name as the Winter Newport to The Astors and other rich and influential families.

Beautiful atmosphere and decor. We were here for a catered event in the Library. Staff were very polite and attentive. Food came out warm and tasty.

Traveling through Aiken and found this cute little diner! Friendly staff! Burger and fries was delicious. My husband had the Murphy dog (chili was more like taco meat though) he said it was ok Upstairs was closed off however, there was plenty of seating indoors. There’s also outdoor tables with umbrellas if you prefer that dining experience. We had chocolate malts! They tasted alittle different than any we’ve ever had.

Great local fair. Lunch time crowd, fairly busy. Ordered at the counter. Food arrived in a reasonable amount of time. Mostly self service. Burger and fries were good. I would order again. Soup was good, sandwich is what you would expect. . The brownie better than average. Love the atmosphere and the employees are helpful and friendly.

Arrived at restaurant around 3:15 ET, Tues Aug 20. It took a couple of minutes before someone approached me to see if anyone was getting me seated. I was wondering around a bit, taking pictures. Not sure if that caused any confusion. Once recognized I was seated promptly. The drink order was filled in under two minutes. I ordered Tuesday's blue plate special; pot roast with “mushroom" gravy. I selected the mashed potatoes and mixed vegetables for sides. It comes with a corn muffin. The meal was delivered pretty quickly. The pot roast was not unique in its taste, but was well prepared and flavorful. It was tender, with a slight amount of pink here and there. The brown gravy it came with did not have mushrooms. Was it mushroom flavored? I could not tell. It was however, prepared with the expected consistency and good flavor. I can take or leave mushrooms, but some customers might be disappointed that they were not present. My ”diner restaurant” expectations are somewhat “managed” regarding this type of thing. The mixed vegetables were well seasoned and tasty; if a bit soft. These are NOT the “seasonal” mixed vegetables I get at most places. I enjoyed these vegetables. I eat the variety served at most places (and believe them “healthy”) but normally find them light on taste and their contribution to the experience more “obligatory” than enthusiastic. The ones served at “Betsy’s Round the Corner" were a welcome change; even it the sodiium was higher than needed. The corn muffin was good. Not too dense, flavor was as expected. The blue plate by itself was $10.00. I found it well worth that money. So much better than the burger / fried chicken I normally fill “on the road” mealtimes with. I added a Pepsi and a frosted banana nut cake dessert to the meal. The mix was as expected with a good Pepsi. The cake was excellent. The soda and dessert brought the total to just over $17. Overall I felt the meal was a good value. I enjoyed the meal experience and am likely to dine there again, if in the area.

This was my 2nd time visiting Betsy's Round the Corner. The 1st experience was awful - food came out cold and it took forever to get our food. This was shortly after they opened so I assume they were just working out the kinks. My husband and I went as soon as they opened to beat the lunch crowd. We sat outside, because we love outdoor seating. I had a gyro with sweet potato fries and he had the reuben. Both were delicious! The service was quicker this time as well. I'm holding back 1 star because the waitress didn't rend to as much as we would have liked. Other than that, the experience was much better tha the first. We will go back!

First time visiting Aiken, Google best restaurant in Aiken. What great food service and atmosphere. The deserts looked incredible but I didn't have time. But there will be a next time and there will be dessert graduation mark

I loved their old location. This one does not have the same nostalgic vibe. The owners did try but "no cigar". However, the food is good. The Ruben sandwich was absolutely perfect. Best ever!

Had lunch, ordered a chicken BLT and fries. BLT was great, fries were good, wish they were a bit more crisp. The desserts were amazing!! The red velvet cake was fabulous! Will definitely come again!

I had lunch delivered to my mother as a birthday treat. Mom said the G.O.A.T. and side cream of zucchini soup were delicious. The staff went above and beyond even decorating the box with a birthday message.

We stopped at New Moon this afternoon for lunch after walking around downtown on a beautiful day. Nice little cafe, not a lot of seating. Friendly people and good service. I had the G-Love sandwich, London broil, provolone and onions, and it was good but not really meaty. My lovely wife had the Boss Lady's Chicken Salad and said it was fresh and delicious. But the star of the show was what we took to-go and ate when we got home. Two brown sugar cinnamon muffins! I wish we bought a few more. Maybe next time!

Delicious food and drinks! Kind and helpful service, and lovely atmosphere. I appreciate that this restaurant supports local artists! Highly recommend the Avocado BLT and potato salad.

Just passing through and wanted some brunch on the way home. Found this super cute place. Very inviting, friendly people and the food was delicious. I got the smoked salmon on an everything bagel. Definitely one of the best I’ve had. The dill made it so fresh and delightful. The vanilla latte hit the spot and my guys breakfast sandwich was incredible. Fluffy cheesy eggs and the croissant was warm and flaky. If we are ever in the area again we will go back

This is the epitome of a local coffee shop. Fabulous servers and wonderful atmosphere contribute to an artistic sense of the town. My iced latte order was a bit complicated but the server was so kind and even offered alternatives. The croissant was warm, buttery, flaky and just the right accompaniment. I look forward to going back to this shop the next time I'm in town.

Great vibe and the cinnamon rolls are on point…reminds me of one of my favorite coffee shops back home

I love this place! The food is great, reasonably priced and just delicious. My only complaint is that it takes forever to get it. The lines are long so is the wait.

There's a lot to like at Roma's. They have a great sauce, and I like their meat ravioli and pizzas. But my favorite, pictured here, is the Chicken Parmigiana with rigatoni! Their dinners come with a salad and delicious garlic knots. Finally, my wife and I both love their champagne vinaigrette dressing. Tonight Kylie provided excellent service to our table of four.

Great wholesome food not over spiced. We especially like the waitress Naomi who'll sing opera to you. They're main courses are delicious and their pizzas are probably the best in town . their food is a great value. it's amazing how under-priced their pizza is

Craving Italian all year, Roma's hit the spot. Lasagna was amazing. And our server was very kind and attentive.

They did some things very well others, not so well. I had Veal Marsala. I was quite curious as you don't find many veal dishes in this area. The veal was quite good and tender. The Marsala wine sauce was like no other I have had. It had mushrooms but, little if any Marsala.

Used to love going here for dinner but unfortunately over the past few months it seems to be going downhill in quality. I only have gotten the shrimp parm, pepperoni pizza , and lasagna. The shrimp parm is usually my go to. The pizza and lasagna used to be great but now its fairly mediocre. I have noticed they have far more customers so it could be just getting everyone in and out and as many people as they can get without focusing on quality of food. The establishment is also small. I will still visit every now and then just not as much as before.

Ordered the mussels and only 5 opened and all the rest were closed , no good to eat . What restaurant just throws all the closed ones , like 10 of them in the dish like they are good . I mean who does that ? Nobody except Romas . I wanted a refund and the waiter was like no way , I'll give you 30% off . Never again. I told him forget it , I'll just pay the bill . What a dump .

Best pizza in the area.. Also the food is authentic Italian....I wish they had shrimp cocktail or fried scallops as an appetizer....

Nice local hometown restaurant with a good selection of seafood dishes. The service was attentive and the food was fresh and hot. I had the fried shrimp and my husband had the fisherman's platter, and both were nice portions with good flavor.

If you want some great local seafood and steak then the Variety is most definitely the place you need to eat!!! It is my absolute favorite! The seafood is always fresh and is amazing! You can not possibly get a better tasting steak from anywhere else! It is so juicy and good! The staff is always helpful and friendly! The drinks are awesome! The owner is always there also.. Great food and atmosphere!

This place was recommended by a friend so I tried it out last night. Food was good but I must say but well overpriced. I ordered the steak and shrimp(10) for dinner, sat down ordered and got my sprite which was very stale and got another and told the server to try it and he claimed it was perfect so I changed it to coke but still the same so I hus didn't worry about it. Proceeded to bring me my food and packed it up to go but the server had to ask 3 times what I ordered n found out the to go was mine so they fixed that part. Ordered 10 shrimp and got 6 but they tried to charge me for 10, then the printer wouldn't work so I didn't worry about it. Mind you $48.99 for telegram dinner but got charged $70.62, sorry sc taxes not that high. Went inside to show frank, the owner, and all he said was he gve me a good deal as if I was aking for a break. Very nonchalant to say the lest, so I asked the waiter, his grandson, was he stupid or was he very stupid, are you smoking weed or what? I let them keep the extra $13 and walked out but I promise you this, yes the food is good but not worthwhile you charged me, didn't offer the diff bk BTW. I will never recommended or visit this place again. Frank was too interested in a lady he actually sat down with while she ate I guess and probably thought I wanted sum free, go figure. Sorry Variety, you deserve 0 stars.

Heard about the place for years, so finally decided to give it a try. Was not impressed. I knew the food was expensive but don’t mind if the quality is there. The quality of food is subpar at best paid 38 dollars for a waffle house steak. Oyster stew was good but not 17 dollars a cup good, was obviously canned oysters. I don’t mind paying for good food I just don’t like paying 5 star prices for Captain Ds quality. Only giving 2 stars because service was excellent.

Great sweet tea, home battered fried mushrooms absolutely delicious and more than plenty on quantity. As a matter of fact everything we ate was plentiful and delicious. All fresh made to order. Definitely a mom and pop cafe. Absolutely delicious

This is definitely one of the "hole in a wall" restaurant you do not want to miss out on. Prices are a little steep but the crablegs were spot on and my husband loved his steak & shrimp. Very pleasantly surprised!!

This was one for the worst dinning experiences I've ever had the food was not that good and very expensive. The restaurant was dirty.

When you really loved the "white" sauce that you used with the Garlic Steak Bites on your last visit... and the waitress comes back with a "Flight of Whites"... that is awesome customer service! And the Steak Bites are DELICIOUS!!

Good food. Great waitress. Go try it you won't b disappointed

Little rough but makes up for it in an excellent prime rib.... service was on top of things, good job.

Great local place! Love the local atmosphere! Excellent Service!

5 stars for the good food served 5 stars for the service 3 stars for the cleanliness of the place... seems to get alot of locals in...

Great food and value. We had 12 raw oysters, 2 glasses of wine an enormous prime rib and a fried oyster plate for 59 bucks. The staff was very friendly and efficient. The decor is a bit rustic. It's sort of like an old seafood house down by the beach, like they used to be. Get there early if you want to avoid the bar crowd and take advantage of the happy hour appetizer specials (such as the .75c oysters we had tonight).

It's an awesome atmosphere for me, darts and a pool table with great service. Excellent prices on drinks and food, don't be upset if they don't have their full menu. Covid made getting some of those things a lot harder to get. Overall, I just loved the bar vibe and the people. It's a relaxing place for dinner, and I can see that it gets to be a lot of fun at night.

This was our first time eating at Shane's Rib Shack. I had the 1/2 rack of ribs with BBQ beans, French fries and Texas toast. The ribs were good, but not the fall-off-the-bone kind that I prefer. I did find their BBQ sauce to be very tasty! The beans were very good too. My lovely wife had a BBQ sandwich and cole slaw that she said was good but not great. Their prices were reasonable, and the service was excellent.

I got the loaded pork fries and I enjoyed!! Will definitely order again

I am not sure if I am spelling the young lady's name correctly, so please forgive me. Mckayla provided a stellar customer service experience. She was nice to my daughter and was up front with how long our wait time would be. Thank you, McKayla, for being intentional about caring for your customer! Jerome

Stopped in to get a quick bite to eat for lunch. Got me a sampler plate with nice sides! It was good. The ribs were really tender… I could t decide on using the plastic knife or pulling them apart… both worked. Nice sauces to sample from. Staff was super nice! Thanks for a nice lunch! I didn’t walk away hungry!

Stopped here for a late lunch. We were the only ones in the restaurant, and our orders were ready very quickly. The staff was friendly, but the beverage area was filthy and covered with debris, which we were surprised at since the staff was just standing behind the counter chatting when we arrived. The floors are in need of a deep cleaning.....everything was dirty and sticky. The food was good, although not very warm...portions were plentiful. We both had ribs with two sides. Although their website advertises several sauce options, there was only one sauce on the table. Overall, probably not a place we would go to again since there are other BBQ restaurants in the area that we like better.

Oh my. So, I already knew the bbq was tasty because we've ordered it numerous times in Evans, GA. I also LOVE the peach cobbler. But this is the first time I've had one of their salads. I am always hesitant to order a salad at a restaurant that specializes in meat. It's rare to get a good ratio of toppings to salad, but it was spot on! My fork couldn't even reach the bottom of the container, on my first bite. Cucumbers and tomatoes were so fresh. And the chicken was seasoned to perfection. Would definitely order again.

I ordered 2 Big Daddy sandwiches and 3pc chicken tenders/with fries. The sandwiches were really greasy. Each time I picked up one of the sandwiches there was alot of greasy on my hands. Fries were ok but not that great. I was really disappointed. I use to eat at Shane's all the time. I won't be going back.

Always a great meal. The staff are super friendly. My only complaint is the traffic pattern is a little tight. I was in a larger vehicle and just made it harder to negotiate. It wasn't impossible both other locations flow better.

Since the atmosphere was my car...but I love the food at Chick-fil-a and the staff are always pleasant. The orders are ALWAYS correct, every time. Lines are long but move fast. Many fast food places could learn alot from them! I know they've all tried to copy their chicken sandwich for years.

Ordered on the mobile app and went through the drive thru. As always, the staff was great and service was quick. The food abd drinks were good. My only complaint about this location is where you enter the drive through is the same place the cars exit and it is tight.

Chick-fil-A is, in my opinion, the best restaurant out there. There's something truly special about their food that keeps me coming back for more. From the moment you step inside, the friendly atmosphere and welcoming staff set the tone for a great meal. One of my absolute favorites has to be their classic chicken sandwich—it's cooked to perfection every time, with that crispy outside and juicy inside. And let’s not forget about their fries! I can’t get enough of their waffle fries; they're perfectly seasoned and have the ideal crunch. Whether I’m in the mood for a quick bite or a full meal, Chick-fil-A always hits the spot. Plus, their sauces are so delicious—each one adds a unique flavor that enhances the whole experience. Overall, it's just a great place to grab a delicious meal, and I love everything about it!

For 2 consecutive visits at this location we have requested extra salad dressing with our order and not received it. Why would anyone order 3 salads and only 2 packs of dressing? One should not have to park and inventory the bag to find the dressing shortage concealed in the bottom of the bag. Then upon reentry to the store there is no management available and just a blank stare at the counter. Fix this Mr Tom Johnson Jr.

The chicken was delicious and hot. The fruit cup was made from fresh fruit. The place was way too crowded to eat in. No where to park in their lot. Drive thru way to busy to use. Had to go in to carry out.

5 stars on each should tell everyone my opinion of Chick Fil A ! It's absolutely the best place to eat !!

My wife and I were vacationing here in Aiken and decided to visit JC's. We both ordered the Low Country Boil with the Crab legs. It was absolutely amazing. Well seasoned, very generous portions. And the service was very welcoming. If and when we return to Aiken, we will definitely be stopping at JC's.

Edit- upgrading last couple times I’ve went the food quality and service has greatly improved. Dining in at the bait shack is no frills and cozy. Support local business if you can. My only complaint is that fish information is not available. I want to know where it was sourced, farmed or wild caught. Would be nice to see this information upfront. The main draw here is the low-country broil. Just make sure you get spicy... hot isn't really hot in my view. edit - Updated review dropped 2 star for customer service. This location is OK but oftentimes I feel like the staff could care less about customers coming in and just wants to rush them out. If I'm the only customer how about making small talk once in a while? This is a local place not some corporation. Forming relationships with customer should be at your forefront of your business model. That said food is still good so 3 stars for that.

I was in Aiken for 5 days and this was the best meal I had! Got the shrimp, sausage, potato, and corn dish. It was hard to put down when full. SO GOOD!

As a Maryland native, I am serious about my seafood and had all but given up on seafood in the CSRA. Then, I found JC's Seafood. The crabs, low-country boil, shrimp, and fish are to die for. The best seafood I have had outside of Maryland.

In Aiken for a vacation stay. Ate the low country spicy boil, it was amazing. These guys know how to do it right. Generous portion cooked to perfection. I would absolutely eat this again. Don't hesitate.

Coolest place.....the amount of food he served us was amazing. We have never been there before but we will be back . We had a spicy boil bag with a lobster tail and it was a huge portion. Thank you to the employee he was helpful and so nice.

I need to preface this by saying I have not tried the food yet, but it smells amazing. I went in just looking for something small. I ordered just an individual boil, but I got crawfish instead of shrimp. The gentleman at the counter was nice enough to make that work for me, so when I got the food I wasn’t expecting what I got. He ended up giving me all the crawfish they have, and enough sides for a family of 4 lol. The people working deserve a raise, they were so kind and then went above and beyond.

Authentic Thai cuisine, easy access in the heart of Aiken, South Carolina —super friendly owners, prompt service What a treat! This place has been in business six years, but I just noticed it a few weeks ago. They serve all the Thai hits, including Pad Thai, Drunken Noodles, range of curries and sticky rice for dessert. I ordered Tofu Pad Thai with Fried Tofu appetizer—it was great!—reasonably priced, about $24 total. Excited to return for one of their curry dishes!

First time here - will definitely be back! We were greeted and treated nicely by the waitress. Our food came out super fast too! I had the Beef Pad Ka Na, which was delicious 🤤 My husband had the Rad Na with mild spice and really liked it (I don't really like spice so even the mild was too much for me). The atmosphere was also nice for a quick lunchtime meal. I would recommend!

Wonderful place in Aiken its a gem, We moved down last year and this Thai restaurant is better than ones in New York in my opinion. If your looking for some yummy come here. The staff are so friendly also. Another yummy dinner tonight

If you aren't getting your Thai food from here, you are missing out!!! Best Thai curry I've had, even from overseas! The couple that owns it are so sweet and kind. You'll become family in no time. I can't say enough good about this restaurant! I don't even have a pic of their food because I can't wait to eat it!

One of the best experiences -food to service. The owner was super kind and took great care of us! Looking forward to our next visit.

The BEST Thai food in South Carolina! Always delicious!! Never had a bad meal here. You can taste fresh, good quality ingredients! Service is quick. Place is clean, cozy. Love this place. Highly recommend. ps. If you can’t eat spicy food make sure to mention it to the server as some dishes are spicy.

The two working up front were nice and friendly. I don't think the price is bad compared to other Thai restaurants I have visited,it's actually cheaper here. I got pad thai,spring rolls,and fish balls. Fish balls were pretty good. Egg rolls were good just vegetarian. The pad thai was nice and hot it was cooked with a little too much oil for liking.

Our first time here, it was cold and windy out on yesterday with 3-4 minutes til they opened young lady was on the phone she saw us decided to let us in before they opened at 1. Ms. Jen our waitress was wonderful and super friendly. The food was fresh and delicious.

Mr. Ron and his family have always gone above and beyond in service, food quality, and atmosphere. I personally always get crawfish, my family members LOVE their seafood pasta, loaded oysters, and too many other dishes to list. Their food portions are always plentiful, fresh, and tasty. Many family seasoning secrets in a lot of dishes. We frequent their establishment quite often, and always will.

Worth the wait! My husband and I made a 7pm reservation for dinner on the Saturday night before Valentine's Day. The restaurant is small, was expectedly crowded and like all restaurants today, short-staffed. However, it was disappointing to wait at the hostess stand for a full 15 minutes with no greeting or recognition from staff at all. Finally, bartender Ron told us someone would be with us shortly. When another 5-10 minutes passed, my husband walked to the back of the restaurant to the bar and asked Ron if we could get seated since three tables had become available since our arrival. Ron made it happen and ended up being our server as well. Ron was great! Friendly, attentive, personable and very generous with the wine pour.😁Thankfully, the food was worth the wait. I had the shrimp pasta, husband had the crab leg sampler. Both portions were huge and the food was delicious. Thanks, Ron!

So far this is a first class place. Very reasonable prices. Excellent bar drinks. Ok, this is indeed the go to spot for seafood. The staff treats everyone great. The shrimp, sausage, potato and corn are seasoned just right. By the way the sausage is very tender. If you want to eat somewhere that has delicious seafood and be treated like a king this is your place. Thank you Erika.

This place has everything conceivable for making a person feel at home apart from their home surroundings. I like Palmetto Seafood Bar so much. The atmosphere, food, the customer service makes me want to dine in everyday. Everything on that menu is palpable and tasty. I reside in Hephzibah, Ga. If I didn't live so far, I would probably be in attendance there @ least 3 days out of the week. Palmetto staff, continue doing what you are doing. By the way, the smiles, the laughter and the joy that they bring when serving their customers! Showing a photo of my daughter. There were 3 of us enjoying these meals!

The restaurant is cute, great location, lots of potential. The waitress Bri was friendly yet seemed inexperienced with the menu. It took almost 30 minutes for our bar drinks to arrive and longer than that for our appetizers. The gator bites were worth the wait. Very delicious! The dining room floor was very slippery and the bathroom was filthy! The food was reasonably priced unfortunately all of our food came out at different times. I was the last to get my food. I ordered a ribeye rare and unfortunately it was ruined. It was medium well when I ordered it rare. I just asked her to remove it from the bill because my family was already eating. There was no way it'd be ready before they were done. This was my first time eating there and I highly doubt I'd go back.

I had the shrimp gumbo and my wife had the Shrimp tacos. Both were very good. We will be back. This trip I had the grilled Mahi Mahi, my wife had the Shrimp tacos again (they are that good).

Excellent burgers! Leave your cell phone behind (or at least in your pocket) and have a seat at the bar. Order up some tunes on the juke box while you wait for your handmade, thick burger. Took me 20+ years to discover this place, but I'll be back soon!

This individual does not know how to treat customers accordingly. I would not recommend this particular location to anyone that has any class and or coordination towards being a decent individual. This man is clearly the type of individual who does not understand nor does he appreciate his customers. We went into this location on 3 different occasions with different people each time we visited Ray tavern. In all three cases every time we went into this location we were greeted by the individual who runs it. I particularly like going to places that has class, that respect their customers, understand the true meaning of $1 no matter if an individual is spending $1 for a cup of tea, if he is spending $30 on food for him and his friends. I will never go back into this location nor am i interested in learning anything else about an individual who clearly has no self respect and dignity for him and his family.

Attacked. Experienced feigned attempted vehicular homicide by resident in red ford truck living in trailer to the right of the pub. He almost lost his life in his own front yard. Almost rammed his truck into my girlfriend on the passnger side of my car. I Went to pull into rays pub and realized immediately that there was signage saying no thru or turn arounds, and a chain. Before I could correct my mistake, someone driving the red ford truck living in the trailer to the right charged my vehicle. Had he made contact I would've opened fire, I almost did as he was charging and would've been justified. I'm considering filing a report with the aiken county sheriffs department Monday. I hope the driver wasn't the owner of this establishment. This place is clearly somewhere where cousins meet up for a drink before reproducing.

Burgers are good. Customer sevice is ok. There is smoking indoors so we will not eat inside again.

Great Burgers!!!! Cold Beer!! A true Mom & Pop tavern. If you are on Southern time, THIS is the place for you!

Pretty sure this place is permantly closed. There is a for sale sign out front and the parking lot is chained off. Don't waste your time

Ray's is the best place in Aiken. The best burgers and the best service!

I’m in Aiken for work and was recommended this sandwich shop and it did not disappoint. I ordered in person because I wanted to ensure my oil and vinegar was on the side. I ordered the #13 Italian on white (half size) and got a combo with chips and a drink. I placed my order and then they call you back over to discuss your toppings. I had it “all the way” which is Lett/Tom/onion with oregano, S&P and oil/vinegar. I also had them add pickles and jalapeños. Since I wasn’t going to eat it for another couple of hours, I asked them to give me the oil and vinegar on the side and they gave me two small cups of it. I’ll definitely be going back this trip and in the future. Highly recommend!

If you’re in the mood for a sub sandwich that goes beyond the ordinary, Just Julie’s is the place to go. Tucked away with a cozy, no-frills atmosphere, this sandwich shop delivers big flavors and even bigger portions. The subs here are a cut above—stacked high with fresh, quality ingredients and crafted with care. From the moment you walk in, the friendly staff make you feel welcome. The menu offers a solid variety, from classic Italian subs and turkey clubs to more inventive creations with house-made sauces and unexpected toppings. The bread is always fresh—soft on the inside with a perfect crust—and it holds up well even with the heartiest fillings. What really sets Just Julie’s apart is the attention to detail. Each sandwich feels thoughtfully made, not slapped together. The meats are sliced just right, the veggies are crisp, and the balance of flavors is spot-on. You can tell they care about getting it right every time. Whether you’re grabbing a quick lunch or picking up a few subs for a family outing, Just Julie’s delivers consistent quality and satisfying flavors. It’s a local gem worth supporting—and once you try one of their subs, you’ll definitely be back for more.

No more franchise subs for me. This is now my go-to sandwich shop in Aiken. Everyone is so friendly. The employees actually care. And the atmosphere is so welcoming. I could tell there were a lot of regulars with the interactions I saw with the employees. Oh, and the sub was fantastic!

My first time coming here and I totally loved everything about this small cozy place. My sandwich was full of meat and the right amount of condiments. The service was excellent and I definitely recommend this place for when you're looking for some delicious sandwich

Stopped by for the first time in search of a good salad. Staff was very welcoming and took their time explaining all of the menu options. The place is very low-key with a simple, small town feel—which I love. Prices are reasonable. Italian salad was 10/10. Will be back—thank you!

Chaos! We arrived during shift change that unfortunately we paid for. It was not good for a quick dinner. We had chips and tea. My chips were not fresh! We didn't have time to eat the sandwiches so we saved them for later. My goto sandwich is a Reuben. My husband got a Gyro. Both were so disappointing! Reuben was meat a slice, one slice! of cheese and NO sauerkraut! From Google: To make a proper Reuben sandwich, start by preparing the key components: heat the corned beef and drain the sauerkraut thoroughly to prevent a soggy sandwich. Use rye bread, preferably Jewish or marble rye, and spread butter on one side of each slice. For the dressing, use either Thousand Island or Russian dressing; the latter, made with mayonnaise, ketchup, horseradish, Worcestershire sauce, and sugar, is often preferred for its authentic flavor. Assemble the sandwich by layering one side of the bread with dressing, followed by Swiss cheese, hot corned beef, and drained sauerkraut, then top with the remaining bread slice, dressing side down. Grill the sandwich in a skillet over medium heat, butter-side down, until golden brown and the cheese is melted, which typically takes 3-4 minutes per side. For best results, cover the sandwich with a lid during cooking to trap steam and melt the cheese, then remove the lid to crisp the final side.

I had a very disappointing experience at Just Julie’s. As someone from out of town, I didn’t realize you’re not supposed to order your toppings at the register. Instead of politely explaining, the older lady running the cashier with purple earrings (65+) started yelling at me loud enough for the whole restaurant to hear — incredibly unprofessional and embarrassing. The food didn’t make up for it either. My sandwich was dry, the wheat bread tasted old, and overall it was not enjoyable. My mom ordered the chicken salad salad, and the lettuce was wilted and unappetizing. Between the rude service and the poor quality of the food, I definitely would not recommend this place.

I dont know how this place is still open. No one greets you to take your order they just look at you like you crazy. One frying pan to cook the same fish orders. Who knows when the oil was changed. Stood there for like 5 mins with no knowledgement. Mama looked lost doing the orders. Mama needs to retire and enjoy the rest of her life. VERY SLOWWWWWWWWW.

One worker inparticular in this so called establishment was condescending and a very unprofessional with an attitude. I went in to ask some questions regarding the type of fish sold as l am from up north where l am more familiar with. My questions were answered abruptly without concern. Not a problem l will have fish shipped on dry ice before l buy a damn thing from this place.

Been going here since I was a kid, and whenever I am back in town visiting, I have to stop by for some fresh fish!

Love love love this place, this is the only fish house in Aiken I go to. The older gentle man with an accent the cleans the fish is the best worker in there hands down! He’s always polite in person and over the phone. I’ve never waited more than 5 minutes for my fish to be descaled, gutted and cleaned to perfection!

I used to live in Aiken for a little over a year and worked down the road. I stopped in several times and had some of the best fish I have ever had. I always thought mustard and hot sauce on fish was weird, but then I had it and it was great! Only place that I have ever had that. Unique gem for sure, loved the older Greek lady who worked there!

I had two flounder fillets and 6 hushpuppie ,which I split with my Mom. It cost $11.00. Very good and filled us both up. (Get it to go)

My black bass and my husband's flounder and shrimp was delicious.

Really really good. The menu changes and some dishes are pricey but with excellent quality. The Executive chef introduced himself to us personally. Live music was a nice Friday night touch. We even had some of the house made Bourbon, which was very tasty. Highly recommend you trying Rose Hill. We will be back!

Had a lovely meal tonight. Our main courses of T-bone steak and stuffed chicken breast were delicious and very well presented. The band was really enjoyable and our server heloful and attentive. Our first time there but we will be back.

What a hidden gem! Dined here for a friend's birthday and what an amazing experience. The service was great, food was incredible, and they were kind enough to have special menu items available for the vegetarians in our group. The property is under new ownership, who has a great vision and desire to provide a high quality dining experience, so I look forward to coming back at a later time to witness their success. Highly recommend!

Our Dining Group had dinner in the main dining room of the home last week. We all had a wonderful time. The atmosphere was grand, the service & food terrific. Their shrimp creole was the best I've ever eaten. Wine & beer list extensive with knowledgeable servers. Most enjoyable. Would recommend to all.

We had a birthday luncheon at Rose Hill/The Stables and it couldn’t have gone any better. Sadie and Chloe (who took care of us) both were on point at every step, with suggestions up front and throughout service - they really made it a success. Everyone complimented the food as well, especially the French Toast and Shrimp and Grits. The Speakeasy Room in the Stables turned out to be a perfect spot for 12 people for lunch. Most importantly, the birthday girl was thrilled. As a service industry professional myself, I have nothing but compliments for the staff, the overall operation, and their flexibility in accommodating numerous special requests. Thank you so much for everything.

Just re-opened for the 3rd time with a new owner and they seem to be very disorganized. I have always liked the food, but they need to get their act together. Everyone on staff has been nice but confused. We reserved a table a week ahead after emailing twice and getting no response, we called and they finally confirmed the reservation. We showed up and they had no reservation for us. They ended up working it out. They gave us the menus and failed to inform us of which food and drinks were no longer available so it took us several tries to complete our order. Staff also failed to properly where masks during COVID-19. Not a great system to ensure safety during the pandemic. Drinks and appetizers have been good so far.

Excellent food and service. The atmosphere is rustic chic. Portions are generous and prices are moderate. The new menu is somewhat limited but our table had 4 of the meals and they were quite well prepared. Recommended.

A true little gem in Aiken! My husband’s mother is a trained southern cook from the Deep South with a degree in food science so it is very hard to impress my husband’s sweet tooth. Jen’s banana pudding got an instant five star rating from him so it’s legit. Her menu also consists of southern comfort food options as well homemade keto and desserts! Come support a great local business!

I can’t say enough about this place! Jen is just the sweetest. The food is amazing. Keto friendly and gluten free options. The take away meals are perfect and delicious. She also offers family meals too. Great for busy families that wants home cooked meals but no time to prepare them. Go give them a try….You will be glad you did.

A hidden gem! Awesome healthy food, with amazing service. The owner is the sweetest person and even though the place is small it feels just like home. Will definitely be back and highly recommend if you are craving great food at a great price.

I purchased a keto shepherds pie made with cauliflower. It was so convenient to purchase the casserole and put it in the oven for a healthy choice dinner. The portion was great for 2 and tasted wonderful. There was a good balance of meat and cauliflower. I can't wait to try more delicious meal options.

My Mom and I had lunch there today for the first time and was delicious! Jennifer is so sweet! we definitely be going back! The broccoli salad is yummy!!!

Being on the road so much, it’s good to be able to stick with my keto diet!! This little place is FULL of keto options! I had the chicken salad sandwich and blueberry muffins and they were delish!! I Will definitely be back!

Jennifer is AWESOME and her food is sooooo tasty! You can tell she loves making great food for people. So enthusiastic and bubbling over with excitement. I feel like family every time I walk in the door.

Fairly decent place. The food was good and made fresh. Cute setup with a lot of seating. Patio and an indoor bar. There is tons of nearby parking.

I had such a great experience! From the warm welcome to the relaxing ambiance, everything was just right. Their Hawaiian pizza was an absolute standout - perfectly crisp crust, just the right amount of sweet pineapple balanced with savory ham, and a delicious sauce that brought it all together. The staff were attentive without being pushy, and the overall vibe made it a fun and comfortable night out. I'll definitely be returning and recommending this place to friends. Thanks for a wonderful meal!

Great Service. Fantastic Pizza. Perfect Crust. Our Server was very efficient and friendly ( Timothy) great place. Will be back

Pizza Joint is amazing! The pizza is always fresh, loaded with toppings, and cooked to perfection. I love the crispy crust and the flavorful sauce—it’s clear they use quality ingredients. There salads are so good by far my favorite salad is the Greek. The staff is friendly and welcoming, making every visit a great experience, whether for dine-in or takeout. If you’re craving delicious pizza with a casual, inviting vibe, Pizza Joint is definitely the place to go!

It’s a pretty good place and that’s why I don’t understand this at all: Special - Fried Mushrooms $7.99 7.99 for this?! Special? I seriously disagree.

Stopped here with friends and had a great experience. The service was prompt and friendly, and the prices were extremely reasonable. We had pizza and calzones and everything came out hot and fresh and was very tasty. The calzones were large and filled with lots of cheese and toppings. They came with a side of marinara sauce that was very good as well. The pizzas had a great crust....medium thin on the bottom and thicker on the edges. They make their crusts each day and they are much better than pre-made crusts. The pizzas had plenty of cheese and toppings as ordered and tasted yummy. We will definitely go back again soon. Parking is right in front of the building or across the street, and there is a wheelchair ramp near the front of the building.

Visited here during lunchtime on a weekday. Moderately crowded, service was still outstanding. The food was absolutely delicious and the marinara sauce was unbelievable. I had the fried ravioli and a small pepperoni and cheese pizza absolutely delicious.

Fun, funky, pizza shop. Great drink selection, and the pizza is delicious. A small 10" is perfect for 1 person. They have some funky pizza's that will knock your socks off. We entered on the back side where the patio is, on Whisky Alley, you cant miss the place with giant mushrooms and the Grateful Dead Dancing beers. It was a Saturday afternoon and it was busy, but there were plenty of tables available. Parking is pretty easy on the street, We were there beginning of March so it was off season. There was a kids birthday party going on while we were there, so we all sang happy birthday. The staff were on top of things and attentive to the table.

Place has gone downhill. I ordered a pineapple and ham pizza for pickup. Went to pay for it with gift card, they wouldn’t even accept it. The topping distribution is the worst I’ve seen. A toddler could put toppings on a pizza better. Some pizza doesn’t even have pineapple on it. I would expect better if I’m paying $30 for the pizza

I ordered the house pizza no tomatoes. I must admit I’m disappointed in the presentation of this pie. The toppings could’ve been distributed evenly across the entire pie. It appears to have been just thrown together.

It's quite a good place to go with friends. Great pub food. Trivia night is Tuesdays and it's fun (especially if you win). It does get loud though, so go on a different night if you want to have a quiet conversation.

I don't go out often because I have bad social anxiety. But Bee was the sweetest most patient and kind server I've ever had. She listened to all my needs and took care of me with a smile that never faded.

The service was great. The pizza was a complete bust. Not hit and cheese not even melted. Ask to see a manager and none would come forward. Got a $10 discount (big deal). Not going back.

The calzone was terrible. Dough was soggy n it had ricotta inside only on one side so most of The calzone was just bread. The marina sauce was very soupy n way too sweet. My friend ordered the same thing and said the same thing. Very disappointed Last time I was there the food was good. We had to chase the waitress down for silverware to eat. Definitely won't go back again

A good option for down south eating. Chicken, ribs, Mac and cheese. You know the drill. Make sure you get the bread with the butter. I had the sweet tea. It wasn't very sweet, but that's as ok. Some places serve syrup in a class with ice! This trip I had the fried honey chicken. That bird was delicious. The buttermilk crust was crispy and surprisingly well seasoned. The chicken was tend r and moist. I had broccoli and mashed sweet potatos as sides. The broccoli was boiled and soft. Fine if you like that style. Some prefer steamed with a little more crunch. Sweet potatoes see you tomorrow like a casserole style. They weren't light and fluffy like a mashed potato. Little more firm and dense. Didn't make it bad. They had good flavor and weren't overly sweetened. I enjoyed the meal and ate every thing off my plate. The menu is reasonably priced and seems to have a number of specials available as well. I just wish I had gone on a Wednesday instead of a Tuesday. Why? FREE PIE!! I always look at an establishment before I decided to eat there. This place was clean and while presented.

Me and my family ate her this past Sunday after church. The service was good our waitress Ana was amazing checked on us often. we had an appetizer of fried pickles. I was a little disappointed with the quantity of the fried pickles for the price. I thought I would get a lot more. I also ordered the catfish and it tasted pretty good. My green beans were so mushy. I didn't like that at all.My husband got the burger. I believe he enjoyed it for the most part. I wish the burger came with lettuce and tomato or at least have it on the side. I also ordered a salad. The salad was very generic and nothing special with the ranch dressing.The rolls were warm and tasty as well. The cocktails were really good. Would I eat here again? Maybe if some suggested it.

We haven't been to O'Charley's for a few years, but decided to stop there today for a nice Sunday lunch. Very nice place with comfortable booths. For starters (and I was hungry) they brought us a basket of three good-size warm and scrumptious rolls with butter. Did I mention they were delicious? Well, so was the second basket we (meaning me) devoured. I had the top sirloin and chicken tenders combo dinner with a smashed potato and loaded potato soup for my two side dishes. Hmmm. Maybe I better go on a diet tomorrow... The soup was very good, maybe a little cheesier than some, but I like cheese. The steak and smashed potato were also good as expected. The chicken tenders were very good and I had BBQ sauce for dipping. My beautiful wife had the fried shrimp dinner with a mashed sweet potato. She said the shrimp was delicious! Servings were generous and we left feeling happy and full. Our server, Anna, was friendly and helpful! Her service was prompt and she was there with food or refills when needed. One final note; I got a slice of cherry pie to go. I haven't had it yet, but I think I hear it calling me ...

I'm updating my previous review as this restaurant has really taken a nosedive the last couple of times I've been here, they don't seem to have a lot of staff working the floor, so service can be a bit slow, but it was nice, and friendly. The food was not great I had the steak, and chicken tenders combo, I ordered it medium rare, it was overcooked to done on the edges, it was dry, and almost flavorless lacking any hint of quality beef, I had the Mac, & Cheese side it was mostly bland noodles with no sauce, or hint of cheese flavor, the mashed sweet potatoes was just bland, & lastly the Chicken tenders were over cooked, & dry. I went on a Sunday after church, and now I understand why the place was 3/4's empty when I remember it use to being packed almost every day of the week. My bill was $50 for 2 people plus tip. Also the parking lot is a hazard with huge potholes that cause small ponds to form. Needless to say as a long time customer until they improve, and fix things I sadly won't be going back.

Stopped here for a late lunch. It was our first time trying this place, so we were excited to try something new. We both had the Prime Rib Parmesan Pasta special. It was a large portion of pasta with an alfredo sauce, and it had chunks of prime rib and mushrooms mixed in. I don't eat mushrooms, so I requested that mine be left off, but I was told it was already pre-made, so that was not an option. The food was pretty good, although I definitely would've preferred mine without the mushrooms. The dish was really salty for me, but my hubby said his was not bad. The sauce was also a little greasy....like an alfredo sauce that was made previously and reheated. The service was good, friendly and efficient. Prices were good, and we were happy to still be able to get a lunch special at 2:30pm. We will give this place another try, and try a different dish next time. The menu has a lot of variety to choose from, and the location is convenient.

It’s a clean nice place. The staff was very friendly. The food tasted really good. Even though I didn’t want my steak that well done but it was still good. Will come back to taste something different. Maybe try their margaritas next time.

O'Charley's Restaurant Review – Overall Rating: 2.5/5 Appetizer: Fried Pickle Chips – 1/5 The appetizer was excessively greasy, which overwhelmed the natural flavor of the pickles. The texture and taste were significantly compromised as a result. Beverage: Sweet Tea – 2/5 The first glass had an unpleasant taste, resembling a mix of unsweetened tea or an artificial sweetener such as Sweet'N Low. The second glass was notably better, though still only average in quality. Entrée: Double Bacon Cheeseburger – 2.5/5 The burger was quite greasy, a common drawback with smash-style burgers ive personally encountered. While the overall flavor was acceptable, it lacked anything particularly memorable or compelling. I requested the burger with only pickles—omitting lettuce, tomato, and onion—but received only three pickle slices. Given the reduction in toppings, a more generous portion of pickles would have been appreciated. The bacon was a redeeming element, offering a thick cut and a pleasant Applewood-smoked flavor. Side Dish: French Fries – 2/5 The fries were served lukewarm and were underwhelming in flavor. While edible, they fell short of expectations. Service: 4/5 The staff was friendly and courteous throughout the visit. However, there was a noticeable delay in receiving a drink refill, despite the restaurant being relatively quiet at the time. This raises concerns about potential wait times during busier periods. Final Assessment: While the service was commendable, the overall dining experience did not align with the cost. The quality of food was lacking across multiple courses, resulting in a disappointing visit. Overall Rating: 2.5 out of 5 stars

Service was ok. The only thing that was decent was the steak. I asked for A-1 and when they brought it out, the bottle was about empty and the top was nasty. My mom asked for extra salad dressing, and never got it. I will not be coming back.

Yesterday, I ordered dinner through DoorDash. I ordered Alice Spring Chicken, mashed potatoes, mixed vegetables, and a Bloomin' Onion Appetizer. I received hard, bland green beans and a very burned Bloomin' Onion. This was very pricey and I am very disappointed. Frankly, I'm appalled that the chef allowed this very chard appetizer to go out of the kitchen and served to a customer. Please see the attached photo. I'd like to hear from the Manager. Also, I definitely won't be getting food delivered from this restaurant again.

I ordered delivery. Check out my photos. I evidently got some type of hybrid shrimp fused with a scallop and then flattened and yes it tasted like it looks. Outback never fails to disappoint me. Won’t be going back. Oh yes it cost me 60 bucks too.

We've gone three times now. Each time have had the same server and host( we get there at open on fridays) and each time has been very welcoming and nice. The portions are generous and the quality of food is good. The staff are sweet and smile whether they are running the food or cleaning off tables across the restaurant they will help with whatever. My wife and I will continue to come to this place solely off the attentiveness and the respectful nature of the front of house staff. Thank you for a positive experience when most restaurant experiences are sub par to say the least. We love this location and will be many more times to come. Also if the owner can pin point who our server was id really appreciate if they would tell her she did and has done a great job. We were guest 0001 and our most recent visit was 09/05/2025 at 11 am.

We had a great experience at this Outback. At first I thought our server was going to be not so good. I was wrong! We had Jacob as our server and he killed it. The food was very good. My only complaint is that the filets that we ordered were very small and for the price is was not completely satisfied. In spite of that A+ across the board.

We were seated in a reasonable time. The server came to our table about 5 minutes after. We ordered with a blooming onion. It was good. We waited for our order about 15 minutes. When i the steaks came they were not good. They had been seasoned several times and it was as salty as the sea and smell of herbs we don’t use. We were up half the night with upset stomachs. We have eaten there several times and everything was good. something has happened. Our 13 oz steak for 2 ended up over $110. Not a good night.

I have ordered the same thing three different times in the last couple months. And it gets better every time. This meal was excellent. And whoever cooked my steak they are a true professional. They deserve five stars from me 💚🥰🤙🏼🤙🏼

I was going to contact the regional manager on the store because I have not been in a longhorns in a while but when I walked in there and saw lobster tail on the floor for over a half hour as well as not being attended to when the place only had about maybe seven families and or just people eating and the food was dry on the New York side of the t-bone but the tenderloin side had a good flavor and this restaurant has serious potential but you might need to go in and do some up training I know that I would not recommend this place to anyone and really I should be given back my whole check that was 75.00 for four people. I had family from Florida come up and they were appalled but I was more appalled than they were. So if the regional manager would like to reach out and give us credit and give us another opportunity to re rate this place would be the proper thing to do.

For some reason, I just cannot get my state prepared properly when I have dinner here. They always want to prepare my steak again and bring it out, but by then everyone else is done eating. I ordered a fillet that was medium and definitely feel like I got a corner of a sirloin well done. The atmosphere is fine although the noise level is pretty loud in there at times.

The reviews I read had me scratching my head. This longhorns is not only clean; with the manager going around and double checking the cleanliness with his phone light, but, the staff was very friendly and attentive and the food was hot and delicious! Would come here again any day!

Room for improvement, but super sweet waiter. Good food. Atmosphere, ehh, but it is a restaurant, so. .

Steak cooked perfectly. Best I have had in a while. service great!

Excellent food and service! Best French onion soup in the area. Friendly, clean, nice bar, lots of booths. Great lunch combo specials at reasonable prices. A range of steaks to choose from. I eat there two to three times a week.

This is a place I have been to every time we are in town. This time will be the last. Ribeye medium rare should be a warm red center. I had the waitress look at it and she said it was medium /medium well. She asked if I wanted a replacement, which I declined as it had already taken a long time to get our order. What she didn't do... a manager should have came over and verified, this is a steak place and if they can't cook a steak to order then maybe they need a new cook. The Ribeye wasn't very good either, very tough. She also didn't refill our water even though she came by several times. Seems the wait staff don't really care for their customers. This was my last time there .

We had an early dinner and the place to ourselves. Very soothing music and low level lighting added to the ambiance. I ordered chicken with garlic sauce, extra spicy. It was quite savory with an adequate amount of chicken, broccoli, mushroom, zucchini and onion. My wife had the sesame chicken. She noted that it was all white meat with a pleasing crunch and with a sweet brown sauce. The white rice in both dishes was cooked perfectly. I would give the food 4.5 stars if available. NEW EDIT I returned to this restaurant and had a not so pleasant experience. I had a spicy shrimp and chicken combo dish. Two hours later and sorry, but my guts are now liquefied! I write this while riding the toilet, waves of gut wrenching pain terminating in a terrible black flood.... In hindsight it was probably my fault for ordering spicy.

I was very disappointed with our experience after wanting to eat here for so long.. 1) they no longer serve dessert 2) they were out of half of the menu 3) most of our food was very bland and extremely over priced My sushi was like buffet sushi* The egg roll was not edible it was so bad* My husbands pad Thai smelled/tasted like fish* I’m giving more than one star because the sesame chicken was decent, the chicken potstickers were good (except for the two veggie pieces that were in the mix somehow) and the water didn’t taste like sink water-

Will never be back. So disappointed. Read the reviews and gave it a try but regretted it. Waste of money and Time. Taste is confusing especially for the Pho. I can be happier cooking instant ramen noodles myself. Their food is dry and doesn’t taste good at all. Table is sticky. Staff are nice.

So today I went to this place expecting to eat pho. I was almost deterred by the rating, but were big pho fans so we will always shoot our shot. When we arrived we waited almost 15 minutes before someone even arrived at the table to take our order. We ordered the soft shell crab as an appetizer, and got 2 small pieces of crab and the rest was vegetables. Crab pricing for veggies not cool but ehh. Then our "pho" arrived. I have never seen so many noodles in a pho in my life. The broth had zero flavor, the pork was over cooked. The noodles looked like spaghetti, they definitely were not rice noodles the we got the tower. the dumplings were hard as a rock the buns tore apart as we removed them from the parchment paper... we ate the food because we don't like making a show but this was the first and last time we step foot in the place. you want real Pho go to Pho Augusta No delivery 4045 Jimmie Dyess Pkwy, Augusta, GA 30909

3.5 ⭐️ would be most appropriate. Service was standard. Our sushi was better quality than our entrees. They have paper signs on the tables advising that their items are up to $3.50 higher than listed on the menu which I’m not a fan of. I want to know exactly what I’m paying before I order something. The calamari is worth the menu price but a $3.50 increase wasn’t. Overall the food is better here versus some other places in Aiken.

Got seated right away. Ordered cucumber rolls, egg rolls, spring rolls, summer rolls, and two bowls of chicken thin rice noodle soup. I would definitely recommend the spring rolls and the chicken thin rice noodle soup. There is a bar here so you can order a beverage of your choice. They accommodated my shellfish allergy which was great. I will go back because the service was good.

Food was delicious!! Chef came out to make sure all was ok.OK. Waitress was amazing. All just before closing.

Really nice place! Andrew provided excellent service. The lunch prices were very reasonable and the portions were good. The garlic green beans are a necessity… We also got the appetizer sampler, chicken curry, shrimp fried rice and everything was delicious.

Delicious food, large portions, quiet atmosphere, and attentive wait staff. We will definitely be back

Been here three times now now and have always enjoyed our meal. The owner is incredibly nice and kind. Their lunch prices are really good value. Highly recommend

Man o man has this placed changed since our last visit. The service was very good and the restaurant was very clean, but the food.....you got to be kidding. Both of our dished looked identical yet we were assured they were not the same. ( However the server did say they actually have to ask which is which so as to serve the correct dish to the right person.) Both dishes were soaked in a sauce not splashed and it made it very difficult to eat, Our last couple of visits were totally different than this one and we will steer away and go elsewhere in the future. PS: The server was excellent by the way !!

Update: plenty of food for the price. Upscale Chinese. We (I and my now-husband) had a wonderful experience hosting our wedding reception here. The owner was more than willing to help us plan seating arrangements and the food to serve to our guests (25 total). I had friends and family members who are vegan; this restaurant offers vegan and vegetarian options. They are very accommodating to any food allergies and vegan/vegetarians dishes. They won't lie about the ingredients. I really want to thank our waiter (I wish I remember his name..); we only had him to serve the 25 of us. Plus, it was an unexpected busy Friday night when Roma's closed for no reason that added the influx of people. FYI - all the staff wore mask per required. Finally, thank you for allowing us to have our wedding reception here at AnShu's. We are very grateful especially when it was right before CDC loosen up it's mandate.

We did have to wait quite a bit but that was because they were extremely busy due to the Woodside Fireworks Show going on that night and the other female server seated two other groups that came in after us who also did not make reservations — John noticed what happened and made sure that our party of four was next to be seated. Note: The other server didn't acknowledge us or even give us an estimated wait during the approximately 45 minutes we stood at the front. Overall excellent service from John, he was so nice to all of us — he even asked everyone at our table for their names. He transformed our experience to a very pleasurable one! His professionalism and kindness meant a lot to all of us. The food was very fresh, and came to us in a reasonable time despite how busy they were! They have an appetizer on their menu that gives you 2 of each of the asterisked appetizers, all four of them were amazing. My wife and I opted for the Mixed Veggies, White Rice, and brown sauce (Beef / Shrimp) and loved it! Our friends tried the Lo Mein and enjoyed it as well! Once again, thank you so much John for the awesome experience and we can't wait to come back and see you!

This is a very nice place to eat. The staff was amazing they are very quick and attentive. The food came out super fast. The food was delicious perfect amount of spices and cooked perfectly. They have a unique menu took me a few minutes to go through it but it gives you all kind of options. Definitely will be back.

The baked macaroni was horrible. It literally tasted like dish water. Everything else was great but I think the iced latte for $3.99 is over priced.

Great menu variety. Best fried chicken, breakfast is great also. Take home meals at 6.00 is great with any food purchase. The sweet peach tea is very good. Campfire chicken special very very good.

Tried Cracker Barrel for the first time. I had the Bacon n’ Egg Hashbrown Casserole; it was a good blend of flavors and left me full. The coffee was good and strong. Wish the biscuits and gravy came out hot, but warm was sufficient. The staff were friendly. Service was slightly slow, but I doubt they are highly staffed on a Thursday morning. The store they have was packed full of a wide variety of products. Almost a little too packed, hard to walk around the fixtures. Overall, it’s a neat place to visit.

I recently had a fantastic experience at Cracker Barrel, and I wanted to give a shout-out to the amazing team there! From the moment I walked in, the service was top-notch. Our server was friendly and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed. What really stood out, though, was the inclusive atmosphere created by the managers, Heather and Ricky. They were both so welcoming and made it clear that everyone was valued and respected. It’s rare to see such genuine care and dedication to creating a positive environment. The food was delicious, as always, but the exceptional service and inclusive environment truly made this visit memorable. Heather and Ricky are doing an outstanding job, and I can’t wait to go back!

Stopped here for lunch. It was about 60 percent full. Had to wait in the front for 5 minutes or so before we were seated. The waitress came immediately and we got out waters. Was a little while before she took our order, but we didn't mind. We ordered breakfast and lunch. The food came out fairly quick. I must say the fried chick was tasty. The breakfast food was not. My ham was tougher than cow hide and my sausage was drier than the Sahara. The eggs and pancakes were good. The cinnamon roll pie was not as good as it looked. It was cool. Would have been better hot. Got done. I must say, out server was one of the best. Went to pay at the counter. Only one person checking out and one person in front of me which was an employee. Looked like christmas gifts. The cashier could not get her info to come up, so there was a delay. Finally got the check paid and off we went. Overall, server excellent, breakfast food was not very good and chicken was great.

We had a large group. Was accurate servers were nice. And work with as well. Food come out inadequate timing

Ordered drinks and asked for rolls four times... Drinks arrived just before the food and rolls arrived AFTER the food. Food is cold, I ordered a sirloin steak with onions and gravy, a loaded baked potato and salad... A PLAIN cold steak with cold french fries with a side of okra arrived. Finally a baked potato was brought out -They are out of sour cream for LOADED baked potato. I wish someone told me before I ordered. The baked potato cold to the touch doesn't melt cheese or butter. Steak ordered with onions and gravy, when gravy arrived in a bowl, no onions because "there's no sauteed onions." Drink order was slow to the point I was ready to go a gas station down the street. The restaurant is clean and quiet NOT BUSY AT ALL to justify the poor service. I sent my food back, asked them to CANCEL my order and take it off my check. My girlfriend ordered Chicken and dumplings, corn and a salad with THOUSAND ISLAND DRESSING. The order arrived WITHOUT CORN and two containers of Ranch dressing. Server said they are out of thousand island dressing. Food was room temperature. Girlfriends brother ordered Mama's breakfast with extra butter and extra syrup. The eggs and french toast were cold and was only given ONE BOTTLE OF SYRUP and one scoop of butter. Couldn't melt the butter. Spoke to the manager (Jeremy) and he apologized and said "we don't offer thousand island dressing." He also said they do "have onions to saute."

I’m actually very impressed with this restaurant. The pasta salad was delicious and the pizza my son ordered was delicious too. The service was great and it looked like there was only one server on the floor when we were eating. She was very helpful and knowledgeable. We went on a Sunday right around noon so even with the church crowd coming in it was a great experience for us. Plus the pizza made it back to Greenwood and the family liked it as well.

First time ordering pizza from here. I ordered a 20 inch meat lover's. It cost $30, which is quite a lot for a pizza, even one this large, so expectations were pretty high. I believe it came with the "standard" crust. I arrived and picked up my order 7 minutes before the "ready" time quoted on my online order. It looked like it had been sitting for a while and by the time I got it home, 7 minutes later it was cold. The pizza looked OK, but it's definitely nothing special. It tastes about as good as Pizza Hut or Domino's. It was very chewy thoigh, which is pretty unpleasant. I'm still not sure if it was the crust or the cheese. I might try one of the other crusts, but this place is pretty cost-prohibitive for not-so-great pizza, so I think I'll just go back to Marco's instead next time I need a pizza. This place seems to be pretty popular though, so to each his own!

Good takeout pizza. A little more expensive than other similar ones I have enjoyed, but it was great tasting and the ingredients were top notch.

OK, so I have to admit I am shocked! To be honest, I went in there to get a Diet Coke as a pick me up and then I asked the girl if they had gluten-free pizza and she said yes, and I said is it any good and of course she said it’s delicious! I’m seriously blown away! I am from the New York City area so I have access to in my opinion the best pizza in America, but I gotta say this is a close second and arguably the best gluten-free pizza I’ve ever had in my life!! I can only imagine what the regular crust would be like :)

Food was very good and well cooked. We had calzones and they were excellent. Service was very nice and timely providing drinks at good pace. Bathrooms were clean and private. However one complaint I have is that I noticed the place had fruit flies flying around our table. I could see them on the wall, about three or four from where we sat. I don't know if they came from the kitchen or outside (hopefully outside). I felt like the inside could use some sprucing up with more decor, seemed a bit "lonely". I would give the atmosphere a 5 star but those were my only gripes. Definitely will come again and hopefully with no flies haha.

This is the third time we have tried to dine at Ferrandos. Less than half the tables are full, but we are once again greeted at the door and say we’re too busy. It’s gonna be a wait before we can even get to you. How do you run a successful restaurant if you can’t Serve the folks who want to dine with you? I don’t know how you stay in business with this kind of approach. I understand during Covid. There was a shortage of staff and people would refuse to see people in half empty dining room because they didn’t have enough servers. But that’s not the case here, it’s time to hire the staff needed to provide service. Ferrandos has great food, but if you can’t get in to eat at one of the mini empty tables, I don’t know how you stay in business.

Extremely Rude management. Floors are filthy. This place used to be amazing 2 or 3 years ago. Nothing but trash now under new ownership.

The food is amazing and the atmosphere is very family but fun friendly. Everyone is really friendly but service could be a little more attentive, but they I notice have new trainers and one in particular is a new server, she went from a hostess to a waitress and quickly picked up on her customer service experience and skills. She is a very beautiful spirited young lady, very family friendly and is very attentive to your needs she provides excellent service. I believe if you go in and request her to be your server you will experience a new real modern day customer service of your life. Id definitely go back and I believe her name was Cheyenne but she is AMAZING. She definitely got that $20 Tip from me and she was only hosting at the time so you could imagine how her service as a waitress is. But Applebee's on Whiskey Rd in Aiken SC is definitely a 4 star.

Me and my family had diner here and the service was great. Our waitress was so sweet. However I didn't enjoy the food whatsoever. The kids mac and cheese tasted fresh out the box and wasn't stirred all the way. My son eats everything and he was spitting it out. My husband didn't like his food either said it was watery. I didn't enjoy mine either. I probably will never eat here again.

First and foremost our server Ivy was fried out of her mind. Every word I said was received with the thousand yard stare. The bar tender openly admitted to a table that she was doped up on meds. I received my drink 3/4 of the way filled, no straw. My friend never even got his drink. Table behind us complained that the water tasted dirty. Didn't get silverware until an hour and 15 minutes into our wait. Notice I didn't say our meal, because we didn't receive our two burgers until about an hour and thirty minutes sitting there. There were only three groups in the building btw. Friend asked for his drink about four times. The other employees had to keep yelling for Ivy to tend to her tables. The woman behind us literally started crying because her meal was so upsetting. Burger came out soggy and fell apart. The chicken didn't even look real. Manager clearly did not care but comped our meal. Tried to deny that his server was under the influence and said she's just "nervous". Meal was comped. Won't be going back

I’ll give this a 3 based off my last two visits. I would have gave it a 1 star just based of my last visit but you can tell when the GOOD manager is working. Bc she shows herself greets tables to check on how the service is going. I had not one single problem with her on shift. Now I don’t know what they had going on a few days ago but it was the total opposite. My family of 4 walks in we aren’t greeted for a solid 2 minutes. It didn’t bother me, I’m patient. What bothered me was our server had barely any tables but took 5 minutes to get to our table. I love a good restaurant family though bc the host noticed and asked to get ours drinks for her after noticing us sitting for awhile. Finally we get our drinks and our server is immediately ready for our order my husband said he needed a few minutes so she walks away and 60 seconds later comes back and says ok yall ready now. Sure, we order the 2 for 25$ the fettuccine Alfredo….. tell me why they bring me penne noodles. I’m confused I’m looking confused when my server drops it at the table but instead of using common sense and seeing my facial expressions is simply NOT satisfied she just walks away. Doesn’t ask does everything look alright nothing.. then disappears off into the kitchen. I had enough time to grab a menu off the hostess stand just to check and see maybe I’m crazy maybe it said penne noodles sure enough it didn’t. I eventually speak with our server a few minutes later and ask to speak with the manager. Bc who just puts food on your plate you didn’t ask for and expects it to be just okay with us. She goes well I’ll check and see why they did that. Instead of grabbing the manager she comes back and tells me the manager said the noodles will be ready in 10 minutes and we could wait if that’s what we wanted…. HUH I said no maam I want to speak with her. The audacity of this blew my mind. So we waisted an hour left hungry. And still had to pay for our kids meal. Now I’m not sure if the drink on the kids meal comes with the meal anymore but I was charged for a additional kids drink when we only had the one with the meal and charged us separately for the wings that came with our 2 for 25. Nobody had decent customer service skills in there at all that night maybe the host with the rings and that’s about it. BUT THAT OTHER MANAGER THO WHEW SHE DERSERVES A RAISE. (I wish I had the names of whom I’m speaking about) Update: they reached out promised a gift card and then never sent it out to me, and when I reached out they never responded :) very poor management I will not be bringing business to them any longer & I’ll take the other two stars away because they very clearly deserve 0 stars

I had a really pleasant experience at Applebee's! The staff was friendly and attentive, making sure everything was just right throughout the meal. The food came out hot, fresh, and full of flavor - exactly what I was hoping for. The atmosphere was relaxed and comfortable, perfect for enjoying a nice meal out. It's always great when a casual dining spot like this delivers both great service and good food. I'll definitely be visiting again!

Me and my family are still sitting here waiting to leave because our waitress put our credit card in the machine on the table and just walked off .... 15 minutes has went by and we finally had to ask another waitress for assistance to get a receipt to see what we got charged for only to see that there was a 22$ tip added to our bill that we DID NOT add!!! We never even seen the tip screen!!! I definitely asked for a manager at that point!! When we got here we immediately got put at a table! The restaurant itself was fine it was honestly just our server who ruined our experience! When she initially brung our drinks she brung my daughter the wrong drink... By the time my daughter got the correct drink she was already done with her food!! I ordered a burger a long with the fish and chips combo and didn't get the burger till everyone at the table was finished with their food!! My son's plate was missing his French fries! My fiancee ordered the 8 oz steak and when he got his plate the steak was literally smaller then his hand!! The food that did come out came out all at different times like my kids was practically finished with their meals by the time the steak came out! It was just an over all horrible experience!!! I will definitely not be back or recommend anyone to come!!

I ordered the "4 cheese" mac and cheese with honey pepper tenders. I can't even eat it and it's usually my favorite meal (when they dont mess it up in other ways). I don't taste any cheese and it is SMOTHERED in oil. It's very wet and slippery. This was the final straw with this place and their inconsistencies.

Great modern diner, food was delicious, staff friendly and attentive. Lots of seating in the dining room it also has a full bar with seating and typical diner fashion. Seats overlooking the kitchen. The diner wasn’t too busy when we arrived but started to fill up for lunch. They have breakfast all day, along with a lunch and dinner menu with your favorite diner meals. The grits were my favorite, creamy and salted just enough. The pancakes were delicious, and the eggs cooked perfectly.

The food here is always pretty good, and the portions are large. They don’t necessarily always have a lot of healthy options, but it’s nice for a treat on occasion. I tried the hamburger salad and was pleased.

Love the diner feel to this restaurant. The name is perfect for it. The helping sizes were big especially the chicken. Two people can share the Chicken and Waffles! The strawberry butter is perfect with it not being too sweet. The grits were made exactly right with the right texture. We'll definitely be back.

We had a bad experience in the in Jacksonville but this one was above and beyond. Thanks Tina and the chef.

I visited Metro Diner for a dine in service this past Sunday on a recommendation from a acquaintance i knew and really enjoyed myself. I ordered the Ribs and Chicken Combo and it was delicious and filling. It came with tender, slow cooked half rack baby back ribs, fried golden brown chicken tenders, seasoned fries, coleslaw, and a Sprite to drink. The customer service was friendly and in a timely matter. (Beautiful and nice waitress by the way)

You found this place on Google maps and decided to give it a try and it was absolutely amazing. Food is delicious. The younger gentleman that was her server was very helpful and very sweet

Good place for breakfast. Food quality was good and prices reasonable. Nice clean friendly place. Only thing I was disappointed in was they don't serve Bloody Mary's until after 10 lol.

Food was bland not much flavor also prices are to high. Not worth the money,this is my second bad experience here in the past year.

Visiting from out of town, and a friend brought us here. Busy place, be patient with the host and servers as they are running around. The food was very good, some of the best I’ve had. They start you off with chips, salsa and queso sauce, for dinner I had the El Paso, from their favorites section. Prices are good, and parking is easy.

Very warm hospitality, very good service, exceptional Micheladas!!!!!!! The food is very tasty, with chips and salsas.

I have gone to this restaurant for many years and the service has always been hit-or-miss but lately it has gone downhill significantly. There are increasingly longer waits for service, which would be understandable if it were busy, but I can wait an hour or more for the check on a slow night. The food is always good. They never seem to run the air conditioner. Edit: 9/07/2025 I have tried going back a few times recently since my last review 4 months ago and things have gotten worse. I went back on 9/5/2025 and had terrible service and it was sweltering inside and only seemed to get worse over time. The food was good but after our initial order nobody checked on us for a long time, again. When my party was ready for the check we waited over 30 minutes to get someone's attention to bring us the bill. After we asked the lady who buses the tables to speak to Maria (since apparently nobody else was going to bother serving us), her son Andrew brought us the checks but did not cash us out. We flagged Maria down and she asked if there was a problem, and I tried to explain to her that the air conditioning was bad and also that it has been an issue for a long time that our servers always disappear from us and she walked off while I was talking to her. It took another 20 or 30 minutes before she bothered cashing us out, while she was cashing other people out while knowing we had been waiting a long time. I will never go back.

This restaurant has boosted their prices so high you might as well go to Longhorn or another fine dining establishment. The food has no seasoning, the steak is not top quality, and the fajitas is 80% onions and green peppers and 20% meat. Very dissatisfied experience. There are far better Mexican restaurants in town.

I had the pork chile verde, which was very tasty, nice tender chunks of pork. My husband had the beef taquitos which he said weren’t very good. Margaritas were good.

Great food. The server was a little delayed in service. Our first time eating here. We will go back.

Got there and was seated after about a minute, but unless you sit at a table that’s attached to the floor the tables are absurdly wobbly. It took 45 minutes for us to get our food that had terrible portion sizes and the flavor was forgettable. The service was okay at best but it was just had a weird atmosphere and extremely annoying music playing. To elaborate on the portion sizes I ordered a pancake combo, it came with two small pancakes what looked like a single scrambled egg and maybe half of a potatoes worth of hash-browns. We ended up leaving early because the atmosphere was too dingy as it just felt damp and there was mold on the ceiling as well as the seats being uncomfortable. Mind you I hadn’t eaten any of the food and I left with a container of what looked like leftovers. In the first picture my hand is used for scale, my hand is slightly above average in size and my palm itself almost covers the entire pancake.

My husband and I had breakfast here a few days ago and it was really weird. The hostess only acknowledged my husband didn't even look at me. Maybe I'm over thinking this but it was definitely segregated all the black people had one lady for their waitress and everyone else had the other lady. Our waitress was okay. I had hair in my orange juice, she offered to get me another one but I just had it taken off the check. The food was okay my husband thought his Nashville hot tenders were okay and I liked my pancakes. The omelet wasn't very good. Would I eat here again probably not. I hope they work on the atmosphere and make it welcoming to all not just certain people.

Waitress was fine. Greeted us as we came in and was attentive and took our order right away. The food was well, pretty bad. I ordered the turkey and stuffing. I’m still not sure if that was turkey on my plate. They forgot the stuffing as well. The mashed potatoes were pretty much soup. The stuffing finally came out and it had been in the microwave 20 minutes too long. It was hard, rubbery, and not worth trying to eat. My wife’s order was prepared wrong so they had to remake it. That happens, but it took another 20-25 minutes for it to come out and they forgot the fries. We waited for her fires and finally decided to just get her food to-go. The kids eggs, bacon, and pancakes were good though. Probably just need to stick to breakfast food at this establishment.

Came in not busy was immediately sat at a table Sylvia was very nice not overbearing like some waitresses do like always at the table. Food needs some seasoning but other than that it was good didn’t get coffee like I was hoping for because the coffee pot was a little dirty still had coffee stains on it. This places really needs to be remodeled. I definitely will be coming back.

It wasn’t busy at all. Waitress never came back to check on us or offer refill of my son’s drink. I would’ve loved some more butter for my pancakes. Small portions of hash browns & scrambled eggs. $45.00 for subpar breakfast.

Everything was top-tier awful. The service was horrible from walking in the door until we left; the food was awful all around. They went back and forth about who was going to sit us. The System went down young lady started demanding pay and didn't give us a ticket so we could see what was being charged and to top it off we hadn't received all our food. When we did get it it was not hot. Then had the nerve to get all the orders wrong. The steak omelet was not cooked on the steak omelet it was raw had to send that back. No steak was in the omelet it was like they were low on food. Idk all I can say is it was awful. The manager hid in the back for some reason. The only reason I gave it one star because it will not let me post without it. AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL. No they were not booked and busy.

The waitress was awesome! She went above and beyond what she needed to. We had a great meal even though we were rushed, but an outside commitment, not IHOP but in spite of this the waitress seemed committed and dedicated to making sure we enjoyed our meal. Excellent!!!

It felt like a very average mexican place. There were plenty of items to choose from on the menu and portions for lunch were a great size. The atmosphere seems older and staff were okay… it was us and another table. Food got brought out quickly but a decent wait for refills and check

Every Mexican restaurant we go to I always get Parrillada Mexicana, this was the most I had ever paid for the dish at $27.99. It was the smallest portion I had ever gotten by far. Half the meat and veggies were scorched (which I mostly like) but the other half was basically steamed. The staff was nice enough and it was clean. Even the salad that comes with the fajita plate was the smallest portion I had gotten. If it was done well I probably would not have said anything. This was just pathetic, very disappointing.

My husband and I have stopped in a couple of times and had servers Leslie on our first visit, then server Ezra on our second visit. The servers got our food right, and were super nice. The food was delicious and made perfectly. We enjoyed the music and atmosphere, as well as the cocktails, beer, and food. We will be going back with more family soon!

Food was really good. We had the supreme nachos with guacamole and jalapeño and ground beef and a couple margaritas. The drinks were just ok as they use pre-made drinks out of a dispenser. The nachos were very good though plus the chips and salsa were very fresh and good. Service could have been better as there was only one server for probably 10 tables and we sat at the bar with no dedicated bartender. I'd still recommend just for the food and I wouldn't consider the food common americanized Mexican.

My husband and I went for quick date after work. We sat at the bar and are waitress was very friendly. Food was good and fresh. This was our first visit and we would visit again

This is the worst Mexican restaurant I’ve ever been to. Ordered margaritas and there was ZERO alcohol in them, no Tajín around the rim as described on the menu. I never complain at restaurants as someone who has worked in the food service industry before and I always tip well. We sent the margaritas back and the server was going to re-make them. He said the manager made them so we asked to speak to him. He never came to the table. There was not a bartender there but anyone who works there should be able to make a margarita, especially at a Mexican restaurant! The server said he would bring new ones, never did. When asked about it again 15 minutes later, he said “Oh, my manager said I can’t serve you alcohol.” Huh? Why? No explanation given and he walked away. TERRIBLE SERVICE. The food was less than mediocre and the mishap with the margaritas was just inexcusable. I would give zero stars if that was an option.

Average mexican place. The robot waiter is a huge annoyance. Turn the dumb music off on the robot. It's cool but the music has to go!

First time visiting this Chili’s location in Aiken, and the food was tasty! The service was great — our server was kind, patient, and attentive. The only downside was the checkout process. We had fussy babies ready to go, and the table tablet gave us a hard time. It was set to the wrong table number, then asked for the server multiple times before it finally worked. Definitely not the server’s fault — she did everything she could to help. Those tablets just never seem to work right!

Me and my husband took our kids out to eat here last night for Cinco de mayo and it was great. The food was good and our waitress Lexie was so polite and informative about the menu answered all of our questions.we got the boneless wings for an appetizer and I got the ultimate pasta my husband got the burger and our kids got the chicken Dippers. We got our food in a timely manner. Will definitely eat here again. Oh and I loved the margaritas!

I go to this Chili's pretty regularly, both as a solo diner and with others. I'm always seated fairly quickly and the staff is generally very nice and attentive. I would advise, however, to avoid coming in at around 9pm when they close at 10. The staff is winding down, less attentive, and it took quite a while to get a simple burger and fries. When the fries got to me, they were already cold, which was definitely a disappointment. That said, I'll continue returning to this establishment, just earlier in the evening.

Stopped here for dinner last week, and had a good experience. The service was stellar...especially for a chain restaurant. The server was prompt and friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. She also answered our questions about several local places that we were not familar with......very informative. The food was priced nicely for the portion size, and the flavors were really good. My hubby had the fajitas and he said they were the best he has had in ages. They were cooked perfectly and included a nice mix of grilled veggies and toppings. I had the ribeye steak with mac and cheese and Mexican street corn. The steak tasted great, but was a little tough and chewy. The mac and cheese was perfect and the street corn was amazing! Plentry of parking right outside and the restaurant is very wheelchair friendly as well. Will definitely go back again soon!

We enjoy dining at Chili's about once every month. My favorite is their baby back ribs with the house BBQ sauce. Also very good are the chicken and steak fajitas. And, of course, their chips and salsa are great. Today I had the Smokehouse Combo with ribs, hot chicken crispers, fries and roasted street corn. Yummy! Our server was Theresa and she took good care of us.

Very disappointed! I will admit it has been at least 8 months since eating at this Chili's in Aiken, SC. I came in to town to surprise my mother & she asked to go out to eat. She wanted to stay near where she lives so she asked for Chili's. "You know we like their fajitas," she said. We ordered 2 beers, fajitas, chips & salsa & I asked for some guacamole. It had NO taste at all! It was smashed advacodo & a bit of tomato. NO seasoning, no cilantro, no salt/pepper, lime juice. The waitress brought the manager to speak to us. We told her that it was tasteless & she apologized, she went to kitchen & made up something, brought it back to our table, asked us to taste it. It was better (you could taste the lime) however it was unappealing to eat. The so called fajitas were brought to table. No sizzle, no heat on plate. The shrimp was to one side, the steak was to another, very little onions & peppers. There was a pile of rice covering the majority of the plate & a cup of black beans. It was not like fajitas. The shrimp seemed disjointed from the meal like it was not grilled together. The manager said the onions & peppers were "freshly cut & cooked". They were more like frozen vegetables you would cook that come out very limp & soft. These were not fajitas. The young lady who brought out the meal did not even bring plates, shells or sour cream out at the same time. We waited on that for a few minutes. Needless to say, my mom was very disappointed. She had about 2 bites & I ate a bit more. The waitress came by, asked us how things were & I had to tell her not good. I paid my bill on the table kiosk & we left. The most pleasant thing at this Chili's was the young man who greeted us when we came in & held the door. One last thing on my mind- you should always offer a glass of water when a patron orders a beverage from the bar.

Food was good. Portions were large. 1 2 3 deal is a great value. Sharable if you are not a big eater. Best time to arrive on Sunday is before 11:30am. 2.99 to play games at the table. Wasn't worth it to me granddaughter got bored fast. Pay at the table kiosk was convenient did not have to wait for the check. Which was great because wait staff was busy.

We went for dinner on a saturday evening. There was about a 10 minute wait and got sat at 7:15. Our server , i believe his name was Austin, was great!! Very enthusiastic and friendly. Our drinks and vread came out quickly however we didn’t get our food for about 50 minutes as the kitchen seemed to be backed up. The food was great though so worth the wait. The Mahi was especially good, as is the shrimp. The environment was clean and quiet.

The service was excellent for our party of six. The food came out hot and present beautifully. It tasted delicious!!!! The price was fair. Austin and the Manager Jerri are very professional and pleasant. We enjoyed ourselves and definitely recommend them to friends and family!

I had the best lobster I’ve ever had in my entire life tonight at red lobster. What made it even better was the unbelievable customer service from Heather my waitress, and Annette the hostess with the most!! Highly recommend this restaurant in Aiken. The customer service is the best I’ve ever had.

Wonderful experience for my birthday! Lacy was amazing in her service and was always there if we needed her. Best experience I’ve had in such a long time. Bentley the hostess was the best hostess too. Not only did she greet with a smile, but even cared to ask how our dinner was. She went out of her way to make my birthday special! Incredible!

Just went Today 9/20 at around 5pm. The server we had was nice but ultimately was too worried about the party next to us to tend to us and it kind of left us feeling jaded in a way. The food was decent but im also paying for the experience. The ambience of the restaurant was solemn and silent for it being a Saturday night. We had to wait 16 minutes to receive our complimentary bread and also had to remind our server for refills after waiting 10 minutes when she would go every 4-5 minutes to the party directly right next to us and ask if they needed anything. For 80 plus dollars our 2 meals and a child meal I just assumed it would be a better overall experience from top to bottom. We had a Manager check on us and again our server was sweet but we did not get the same attention nor the same consideration. Probably will not be back. First time going in the three years we've lived in Aiken and very bummed out. Hopefully this isn't the experience for the next family.

Jaleel was a wonderful Waiter. He was absolutely a gentleman and a joy to talk to. He was very Professional in his presentation. Great Evening at Red Lobster!!!!!

We came in last night (9-20-2025). Our waitress was Kaitlyn. She was so personal and professional. Never hesitated to get whatever we needed. My husband accidentally left his wallet there and she found it and put it in the safe!! Make sure you ask for Kaitlyn!!
