Restaurants in Aiken

“Fantastic food and great service!”

“We are frequent patrons of lunch, happy hour and dinner at Park Ave Oysters but today we stumbled upon their new weekend brunch menu! Um WOW 11-3 Saturday & Sunday, YUM! We will be back for this! As always Phillip and his team do amazing work. The chef always accommodates my wife severe gluten sensitivity and Mia saw to it I ate like a king! Go check Brunch out and visit them anytime and often. An Aiken treasure!”

“From hostess to servers to kitchen staff and food, Whiskey Alley in Aiken, SC, is a top notch eatery and a great place to people watch.”

“TAJ AIKEN is easily a favorite of ours—it’s my husband’s favorite restaurant in town! The atmosphere is welcoming and intimate with decor that adds to the experience. The food is bursting with flavor! Every dish we’ve tried has been fantastic and we’re excited to work our way through the menu. Be patient with the service, as waitstaff can be busy. A must-visit for anyone who loves authentic, delicious Indian cuisine!”

“The Willcox is a local gem and wonderful place to stay! The atmosphere is charming, historic and moody, creating a relaxing and unique experience for any age. The premium suite was very comfortable, with plenty of thoughtful details, and they offer great accommodations for dogs—welcome bag and all! The customer service and waitstaff is excellent—attentive and friendly. The food is incredible, but the highlight was the Butterscotch Budino. It’s the best dessert I’ve ever had. (You have to try it, no matter how full you are.) Whether you’re looking for a staycation or passing through Aiken, don’t pass on The Willcox.”

“Fantastic fish and chips! It pairs perfectly with the Tidal Creek Backwater American Brown Ale. Great service and ambiance as well. 🍻”

“If you leave hungry or thirsty, it's your own fault! On my most recent visit, I enjoyed the Japanese Old-fashioned and the Cloudy Strawberry Sake. Both complimented the food nicely (sweet/salty combination). The Spring Roll Salad was just so "pretty," and the Pork Fried Rice special was out of this world! Thank you to Chef Chad and company!!!”

“Their steaks are hands down one of the best I have eaten. The atmosphere and service was top notch. A little pricey but for good food and great service, it's very much worth it and their serving sizes were big. You definitely will not leave hungry”

“amazing fresh seafood always...”

“Great place to eat, classy and emma, a waitress, is such a hardworking, kind, and genuine employee. I definitely recommend her for customer service.”

“The food was very good, service was good, but the background music was too loud It was hard to have a conversation when the music is distracting.”

“Great staff, great cocktails, great food.”

“Absolutely loved it! We will be back.”

“We ate lunch here on 7/2/25. I have always been very pleased but yesterday we had very little to NO service. The hostess took our drink order and brought out right away. The waitress came without much delay. Our food came in a reasonable time. Then the waitress never came back. She walked by one time and my drink was very low. She looked and kept going. Never saw her again. Had to get the attention of someone else and hostess again brought my refill of drink. Another person brought check after we asked for it and took payment. I feel at the price you charge for a drink, I deserve at least one refill. Not happy at all.”

“Although the steaks are excellent, my absolute favorite is the double cut pork chop. I consistently brag ab.out it whenever we take out of town guests there. Unlike some other restaurants I’ve bragged about and been embarrassed because the meal didn’t live up to the expectations I created, the pork chop at the Prime is always fully cooked (no pink at the bone) yet it remain succulent throughout. While some may consider the cost for a pork chop to be a bit pricey, I believe it is well worth it for what you get. Quality and quantity dictate price. In all my years of fine dining, I have never had a better (or even close) pork chop than that served at the Prime.. the portion is always sufficient for me to take the remainder home for a second meal. Service and ambiance are also noteworthy. I highly recommend.”

“Ashley was so awesome and her service was perfect. Ashley was very friendly and engaging and her food suggestion was so great. The mushroom Swiss burger was great.”

“Specialty coffees roasted in house. Many to choose from. Friendly counter service.”

“Low Country Combo was great! Service was prompt and friendly. Definitely one of my new go to places.”

“We've eaten here twice now. Each time everything has been amazing.
The server today was either new or on something. He was apologizing for everything at every table and he had someone correcting him. He forgot one of our soups, served other tables that had arrived after us first, and was a general mess. Aside from that, he was cordial and courteous.

The only complaint I can find is they put FAR too much ginger dressing on the salad to the point it's not enjoyable.

I would highly recommend this place.”

“Our waitress Brittany was absolutely amazing. She was bright and cheerful and made sure we had everything we needed. She also made sure to keep our drink glasses full. She was a true blessing. One of the best waitresses that we have ever had.”

“I am happy to be in this store, my comrade friends. It is hard for a true Soviet to find joy with the old ways. But you Comrade Kroger, have given the true Red some hope. Let me tell my story.”

“Rosa is a terrific server!”

“We went on 9/2/23. Our server was Imaurie. She was very professional and our food came out in a timely manner and it was fresh and hot. She took our order for everything we wanted at one time. I was definitely impressed by that because I hate waiting and I am very impatient.The endless shrimp was amazing. I loved it. I give her 5 stars for being professional”

“I love Sakura the food is great but I have two questions for management. #1 why doesn’t the air conditioner work??? I came a few months ago and it was hot in there and I came again tonight and it was horrible. Apparently it’s been going on quite a while there were some people eating that brought there own mini fans I kid you not. I guess they are regulars. #2 the last two times I came the cook didn’t even do the usual spill. Like the volcano, the choo choo train, no jokes and both times there were young kids at the table. What’s up with that? Please address these issues.”

“The hostess told us 4o minute wait for a party of seven. After an hour plus my phone buzzed telling me our table was ready. When I went to the hostess,Priscilla she told me I had said a party of five. I said I know how to count the number in our party. Finally a server came over and found seating for our party. After discussion with manager our entire meals for a party of 7 was on Outback’s. The manager and assistant mgr very nice and accommodating, This was true customer service and satisfaction. I will continue to visit Outback’s for this reason The food was delicious and Caden our waitress was very nice and helpful.”

“Atmosphere is pleasant inside or out! The asparagus is a great choice for appetizer! Waitress Savannah was super sweet and made the experience extra special! Will definitely be back!!”

“Great experience. On a VERY busy night, Asia impressed us with her amazing management skills and her hospitality! Despite being short-staffed, the food was hot and good and Asia kept everything on the floor running smoothly with a smile and genuine hospitality. We were impressed and will return!”

“We went to Metro Diner today. Everything was amazing. Our waitress was amazing. We named her our "Waitress of the Year." I wish I had gotten her name, She's a very special girl. Thank you Metro Diner.”

“My wife and I had lunch here today. Let me just say that's one of the best bison burgers I've ever eaten! I'm glad we chose a day where this burger was their special! We will be back! Thank you, MacK's!”

“Went for a birthday lunch with my family today. There were 6 adults and 3 children. The service was excellent. Everyone enjoyed their meal. Will definitely go again.”

“Partner and I loved it when we went. It felt so nice to eat something delicious that didn't make us feel horrible afterwards. Was hoping to catch the classes but car trouble. efinitely be back though.”

“What a great place. Kaylee was a great host. Brad and Chef Sam were excellent. We had full harvest apple salad with buffalo fried chicken and the ‘Kate the Great’ brisket burnt ends sausage with onion rings. We enjoyed the Pinot Grigio and a flight of beer. If you are in the Aiken, SC area you need to stop by and enjoy the local flavor.”

“We had our daughter’s first birthday party at Flanigan’s yesterday, and I can’t speak highly enough about our experience. The staff was incredible, so nice and helpful (especially the sweet girl who was in charge of getting everything set up for us), even with the shop still being very busy on a hot Saturday. And as usual, the ice cream was delicious! Such a wonderful, affordable party option that the kids (and adults!) LOVED!”

“Best food around! Highly recommend!”

“Smoothie Groove is a Must Try! I tried the vegan burger and had to go back a third time. Hands down, it was the best vegan burger I’ve ever eaten!

Definitely will be back and recommend to family and friends.”

“If you’re looking for great coffee and brunch, this place is IT. The atmosphere is cozy along with seating indoor and outdoor. The crepe and bagel were amazing, coming in larger portions. Staff were accommodating and friendly!!”

“Amazing staff and great food. What more do you need?”

“It’s an Aiken tradition. I always eat the exact same thing. Where else can you get rutabagas? Also they have fabulous fried chicken as well as Black Eyed Peas and Lima beans!”

“Great service and food! Will be back!”

“Kiera (not sure how to spell, beautiful girl with glasses that likes Snoop) the bartender was genuinely a sweetheart to me and everyone else she helped. Food and drink were hot and delicious!”

“We went between lunch and dinner to try this restaurant out. I was so impressed with the chips and salsa and the tacos! We had carnitas and asada. Delicious!!!! Especially the asada. The seasoning was fantastic.”

“THE best, most fresh street tacos, gorditas, burritos etc. very small, friendly place in the back of a small market. Cannot get anything more fresh.Their white meat only (grilled) chicken tacos come on corn or flour tortillas with cilantro and onion and a wedge of fresh lime. grab some of the sauces and delicious pico de gallo and you have an incredibly healthy meal. Cannot say enough great things.”

“I am so glad to have Chicken Salad Chick in Aiken. I have eaten here four times since they opened. Although they are working out kinks, I had wonderful service and the food is always delicious. I enjoy the trio with 3 scoops of your choice. The pimento cheese is good as well.”

“I recently visited Blimpie, and I have to say, I was incredibly impressed. The sandwiches were fresh, flavorful, and generously portioned—everything you could want from a sub shop. The bread was soft, the ingredients were crisp, and the overall experience was great.

But what truly made my visit special was the customer service. A young man named Isaiah helped me, and he was nothing short of amazing. Isaiah went above and beyond to ensure my order was perfect, offering helpful suggestions and making sure everything was prepared exactly to my liking. His positive attitude and friendly demeanor made the experience so much more enjoyable. You can tell he genuinely cares about the customers and takes pride in his work.

I went to blimpie ordered and suddenly remembered I did not have my card this nice young lady Alexis helped me to figure out the issue.her customer service is amazing

Overall, Blimpie offers not only delicious food but also a welcoming atmosphere, thanks in large part to employees like Isaiah and Alexis. I’ll definitely be coming back!”

“Was in there a couple of weeks ago for late lunch. It was good. Grill person asked us how it was. Told him great. However, the server that was in duty raked him over the coals for talking to us. She did this in front of customers. Very rude and unprofessional. There was nothing wrong with the cook asking us about it. Cooked to perfection and well liked. Server was out of line”

“Someone definitely needs to figure out how to cook burgers there. The last time I got one I asked for it medium it came out well done other than that it was great”

“just stopped by and got the red's fries, the food here is AMAZING!! talk about a good price for the amount of food you get, my plate was BENDING it was so full. 10/10 would recommend!! I'd drive from Columbia to them for more food! AMAZING!”

“First time going here. I ordered and began to fill up my drink when my order was called. Wings had excellent texture and cooked well. I had the Sweet and Spicy, it was a little thin for my taste. Came with a mound of fries. Would come again and try another sauce.”

“Where's the meat, seems to have gotten less and less substance in-between the bread.

Parking: People tear in and out of area going the wrong way so watch your step.

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes but limited but permetless parkers and people parking in front feeling privileged to block off area.”

“the stp with the 45 sauce is the best. it will change your life .”

“Now that the weather is hot, we are always in the mood for shaved ice. Pelicans does a great job! I love the variety of flavors and toppings that they offer, and their prices are great! They have a drive-thru for convenience, and a walk-up window as well. If you haven't tried shaved ice before, you should definitely check them out!”

“Try the pecan waffle it’s delicious. 🤤”

“THE best, most fresh street tacos, gorditas, burritos etc. very small, friendly place in the back of a small market. Cannot get anything more fresh.Their white meat only (grilled) chicken tacos come on corn or flour tortillas with cilantro and onion and a wedge of fresh lime. grab some of the sauces and delicious pico de gallo and you have an incredibly healthy meal. Cannot say enough great things.”

“Looking for this man! Name Fred Byrd! Please call home asap there is a family emergency.”

“Great food, but it took a long time to place our order. I got my drink quickly, but when the rest of my party showed, the server was nowhere to be found for about 10 minutes. Someone else took over our table and she was great.”

“Best Burger in Aiken. Great service and child friendly. Outdoor seating is available and pool table inside.”

their pizza is”

“Very impressed with the friendliness of the staff. Highly recommendand very kid friendly.”

“I haven’t had any issues and I visit at least 3-4 times a month, sometimes 2 days in one week. Good price for wings compared to many other places and the wings or cooked like I love them (no soggy chicken skin) where I don’t even have to ask to be cooked hard. Tried the hibachi meal once and it was really good. Too much to eat in one sitting or day for me so absolutely no complaints. Some days they are pretty busy and I have to wait for my order and some days I’m in and out. I plan to try the Boba Mill Tea next visit and hope it’s as good as the food.
OAN:Per one of SCDA Food Inspector, friend and former coworker, the restaurant is really good at having the kitchen clean. I know that can change at anytime but for now they are my go to for wings & when anyone ask me about wings this is the only place I mentioned. Good prices, decent quantity and satisfying food.”

“Phenomenal food and service! Club Sandwich was very good. And Ana was great!”

“I really enjoyed this visit to Ferrando's - Whiskey. I went with the large Greek salad and 2 pepperoni slices. The salad was well made with plenty of toppings. I should've got the small. The 2 slices in pictures were just as good as they look. Just the right amount of everything, including the cook. The pizza not too soggy or overdone. I'll stop back by for this combo again. My server was just as good as the food.”

“Yummy food and lots for the price”

“cool place to watch sports”

“That’s a great place to eat”

“I ordered for the first time today 3 chicken fingers ans fries at 12:14pm. By 12:34 pm I was still asking for the meal amd was finally told the chicken fingers needed to be floured! Finally at 12:40 or so they finally came. The cashier was upset because I asked a few times about them and so did she. 8 minutes to fry took almost and entire hour of a lunch break! I wanted to cancel but Im hungry..once I got them, they were hot and really good. no more chicken fingers for me-maybe the okra has shorter cook time!”

“This 🌟 💸 is in Kroger. It's convenient and efficient. Not only was it smooth, but also informative today, particularly this visit. Both guys were great!! Conner & ZION 🙏”

“I’ve been a Track Kitchen Customer since the early 80’s …”

“It was very nice, especially since it's in a convenience store. The smell of the convenience store could be better but the subway itself was just fine. The food is great in the service was good.”

“I just wanted to call out Jared who is a facilities management individual. I thought I had lost my Apple Watch and was very apparently not happy - he saw me and asked how my day was - and I said fine. He went one step further and said he could see something was wrong and could he help. I told him I lost my Apple Watch - he walked me through how to find it on my app and voila! It was ringing in my room on the floor! He was so sweet and patient and truly wanted me to have a good day! BRAVO JARED! Wish there were more people like you in the world who are so positive and patient and caring!”

“The cookies are good but not as good as I remembered them. Chewy Pecan was always my favorite and seemed to have a lot less pecans than years ago. Also purchased thru grubhub and was kinda shocked that the 12 cookies were $37 and only $24 if I had waited to pick my selection when I got there.”

“The mushroom quesadillas were delicious. I was happy to find horchata as many Mexican restaurants in the south don't carry this sweet rice drink. The service was good and my husband enjoyed his Pollo con queso.”

“thank you for making my daughter's first trip to Waffle House the best! we went this morning on our road trip from NH and everyone was so welcoming and GREAT food! we'll be sure to come back!!”

“We love the Pecan Waffles well done with lots of bacon covered in syrup. Staff is always so friendly!❤️”

“Hot and fresh food. I had one problem I asked for a burger with no lettuce and still received lettuce on my sandwich. Other than that I would choose this location out of any of them. Whiskey Road store is a no go. North Augusta is a no go.”

“the pork chops dinner with potatoes and onions were awesome”

“One hour and twenty mins before closing and the crew has the place in full shut down mode including mopping the floor we had to walk over to get inside. I understand the need to clean but I really didn't want to walk across the slippery wet floor. As usual the coffee was great.”

“Absolutely the most knowledgeable and personable man in the seafood department. Cashiers as well… Bye Bye Walmart!!!!”

“Order was delivered on time, fresh, and warm! The jack-o-lantern pizza is a tradition in this house.

Dietary restrictions: I love their gluten-sensitive crust. It’s an inclusive option for those with gluten sensitivity or allergies.”

“Food was dang good Lady named Whitney..behind the register was working her tail off and getting stuff done. Very nice place especially compared to other ones i have been in.”

“Visiting our nephew and came across this gem! DELICIOUS....and on top of that my son's shake was made with care by JOSHUA. He made sure not to cross contaminate his ice cream because he has a food allergy. Please recognize him. We sincerely appreciate this. We'll definitely be back. - from Nashville, TN”

“The food was pretty good but the service wasn't that great. I went there after my daughter's ĝraduation. The lady didn't refill a family members cup. Idk first impressions mean a lot to me and so does customer service.”

“Walked in to discuss our need for Thanksgiving dinner. The gentleman behind the counter was super friendly, very helpful. Looking forward to enjoying this wonderful meal!”

“Go in to get your order right to go”

“Great food, particularly the hamburgers and egg rolls.”

“My first time there tonight. Very good and affordable. Personable staff. 😊”

“Excellent food and service.”

“Real vegetable fried rice. Dunno why but its been hard to find veggie fried rice. This is the one I like with cabbage and mushrooms etc. Good wings as well. Super crispy.”

“First time here. Great service. Chips and salsa very fresh and tasty. Everything was delicious. Waitress very attentive. Will return for supper sometime.”

“My visit to SC was great, I enjoy good food and service. This place has exceptional quality and quantity, very rare. The kitchen was visible and the staff friendly, thank you for amazing food and service. Wow if you’re looking for take out, this is 5 stars highly recommended.”

“Matt is truly the best of the best and one of the reasons why I continue to order from Moe’s, I telework and cannot leave my house for a lunch break and I’m constantly ordering from here and calling every time probably driving Matt crazy calling asking for a side of hard rock and roll sauce with my order burritos to me are not the same without it. He deserves all the career growth in Moe’s and should definitely be promoted to a regional manager or get a raise for being so kind and patient with customers and making their day.”

“absolutely love their Carmel Frappuccino! Today I took my Foster Dog, Jax and he enjoyed a Puppachino... he is a huge fan!”

“We had the BEST experience last night (on Father’s Day) We had a party of 10 and got there at 5pm. The host told us it would be a 30-45 minute wait (even though the dining room didn’t have many people at all) We asked to see the manager because it just didn’t seem right. Ricky (I think) came up and we talked to him. He explained the kitchen was backed up but he was going to make it right. He went ahead and sat us. They got us our drinks and some biscuits to munch on. The manager came out and offered to bring us a couple of appetizers while the kitchen got caught up. He went over and beyond to make our experience for our Father’s Day amazing and I’m so grateful! The server was excellent as well (I don’t remember her name unfortunately) and the food came out perfectly! This was a perfect example of excellent customer service and going over and beyond!”

“The best pizza in the csra. Their pizza is so good that I drove over an hour for a vesuvius. My craving started late Friday night. I didn't have time Saturday so I planned my Sunday around lunch at pizza di Napoli. Sunday morning was torture.. my toothpaste tasted like tender and juicy pepperoni, my coffee had the sharp but warm scent of a wood fire and my biscuit from McDonald's tasted like.... well we know what they taste like. The drive over to aiken took forever. We finally arrive I felt like a kid on Christmas morning ...that got coal in his stocking. Closed from the 18th -26th. I had checked the website and called and listened to the recording and and and.... I'll still give you five stars but you may not be getting a Christmas card this years.”
