“Fantastic food and great service!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Great staff, great cocktails, great food.“

“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“

“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!“

“Best 🐟 and 🍤 baskets in Aiken. 🧅 💍 are the 💣 too“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“This place is amazing if you are trying to have a peaceful lunch, finish business, and have a decent meal. The new remodel has been a wonderful change. The staff are friendly and always attentive and generally remember my order when I walk in!

Wheelchair accessibility: Large wheel chair ramp at the front.“

“I never write reviews these days, but my wife and I have had great customer service and food experiences here the last several times we've gone. Service and food quality has gone down so much in the last several years since COVID, we're just very pleasantly surprised when things are consistently good these days. To the two young guys we often see behind the counter, thanks for caring, you're awesome!“

“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“

“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!“
