We stopped on our way home from Columbia. We had an veey good experience at Cyclone. The service was great and the food was good. We ordered the potato skins and they were huge. A little skimpy on the cheese. We also ordered the fried mushrooms. Only about 8 come in an order. Just fyi. The sauces that come with are awesome though. We loved the warm and homey feeling in the place, we will be back to try some other things! ❤️❤️❤️

I guess I miss the old Cyclone. Andy's homemade frues and onion rings and George cooking the hamburger steaks steady and you could see them thru the window in the kitchen. Bessie would be in a best dress at the register. Car hops with paper hats would be waiting on a bench out front if you wanted to stay in your car they would take your order and bring it to you on car *window" trays. Footlong hotdogs were the best. Times change, things change so I may just be expecting to much but if its the same building wuth the same name you want the same thing.

The food was underwhelming, the floors were sticky and the coffee tasted like dishwater. Great service, however. Will not repeat the experience.

There really isn't much to say. I have lived here for 3 years and generally don't eat out much but I have visited the cyclone twice on a friend's request. I saw an article the other day that said 75 plus percent of people in this country consider McDonald's to be a luxury. That saddens me. This is a place where you can get a ⅓ lb burger that is hand pattied along with fries for $5. It is a darn good cheeseburger too!! I'm glad that it is so close. The people were so gracious, humble and happy. It's just a local hole in the wall but it has stood the test of time for a reason. If I'm ever in the mood for a burger and don't feel like firing up the grill... This!!

First time going here, I was told by my coworkers that it was worth the food. The outside looks very run down. The inside has a cute older diner style of decor. The waitress was nice. I tried the Philly cheese steak sandwich with fries. It looked a bit skimpy, so I was initially worried, but my coworkers were right. The food tasted freshly cooked, had good flavor and was reasonably priced at about 10 dollars. Something odd, they ring a bell and cheer if you tip more than 5 dollars, which can either be rewarding or disappointing depending on how you tip. This is a place I would stop by for lunch again.

Me and my husband enjoyed our awesome meal today at Cyclone. The ranch dressing is so awesome. The tea is too. I always have a tea to go. We usually have leftovers because they serve generous portions. I had the chicken carbonara. This dish is just so delicious. My husband usually gets a hamburger steak but he got perch today.

Great diner style meal… great place to eat in the area
