“Best pizza in the area. Not cheap but well worth the price.”

“If you order, ask for LAUREN!!! Genuinely a safe, personable staff member. Helped when my wallet was stolen one night, and besides the fact we didn’t find it, she assured me that there are thieves all over the place, And this is a common occurrence. I ordered A couple of drinks from her, and honestly, I might be biased, but they’re the best vodka sodas I’ve had. A dedicated employee that values service. Would trust her with my life honestly.

Management!! Give my girl a raise!”

“We had a wonderful Valentine's dinner at Rick Erwin's in Clemson and it truly made the evening special. From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere felt warm, welcoming, and perfectly suited for a celebration. The manager was especially impressive—efficiently greeting guests and checking on everyone who walked in, which set a great tone for the entire dining experience. For dinner, my husband enjoyed the Chilean sea bass, which was beautifully prepared, tender, and full of flavor. I ordered the filet paired with a crab cake, and both were outstanding—the filet was cooked perfectly and the crab cake was rich, fresh, and delicious. Our wine and cocktails complemented the meal wonderfully and added to the overall experience. Between the attentive service, exceptional food, and the thoughtful attention from management, Rick Erwin's made our Valentine's celebration memorable. We look forward to returning again soon.”

“Had lunch today with my wife. The sandwiches were Excellent My wife had the Reedy Rueben and she said that her sandwich was the best that she ever had. I had the Italian sandwich and it was delicious and the best that I have ever had!! The staff was very polite and courteous. We will definitely be back!!”

“Nothing beats eating a tasty and juicy sandwich after attending a college football game. This place makes wonderful sandwiches. I had one with melted cheese, chips, and a soda. Service was very good. Students working the restaurant. Unfortunately, the inflation has shrunk the sandwich sizes along with the meat in them. This is true everywhere now. Make me reminisce fondly about the days we were served big sandwiches with lots of meat and cheese in them. Parking was plentiful and free.”

“Amazing food and service!! Chef Eric Pollard’s food is amazing”

“My family absolutely love coming here! The cocktails are spot on and the prices you can’t beat! The wings are amazing! I highly recommend!”

The entire staff we interacted with was pleasant and attentive. Bryson may be the best server I have ever had anywhere! If I am ever anywhere close to Clemson I will be going back to Pixie & Bill’s!!”

“Food was absolutely amazing ! Friendly staff , but what we didn't know is it is located in Clemson University s food hall , my daughter's and I weren't going to go home empty handed though it was over 2 hour drive for us , this affects the parking which is of course terrible , but it was so worth it ! Not sure if you need an id to get it normally but we didn't have a problem”

“Absolutely delicious, fresh food! Scratch made with quality ingredients and an awesome staff as well! A MUST try!”

“TD’s was fun. It wasn’t exactly popping by the time I got there, but it was a fun place to stop and watch one of the later games nonetheless. There was a lot of space, a cool pool setup, and all the staff members were really nice and helpful. I’d love to go back one day when there’s a little bit more going on!”

“We came in Friday November 25 at 6:30ish. Whoever was working the counter and running food was amazing! We have four crazy kids and they got the order perfect. Very helpful, very yummy. Will definitely come back.”

He helped make my Mom's birthday the best ever! She's ready to adopt him because he was so kind to her and went out of his way for her birthday wish. You're the best George!!”

“Well this is just a little funny story, we were visiting family in Georgia and my sister decided to surprise my nephew with Panda so she looked it up and it gave her this one but she didn't notice that this is a university's panda and so we headed to it.. getting there she paid for parking which I told her that maybe it was going to be closed because it was a weekend inside a university and low and behold, yes it was but we didn't find out until she had paid for parking and went in, Google maps got it wrong because it said that it was open. Then she looked up to see if there was another one and yes there was and closer than where we went to so we just laughed at her and headed to that one and my nephew got his Panda.”

“Great college bar! Must come here.”

“I mean the service is good enough anywhere I have went, but the food and shakes are my favorite "fast food" of anywhere I have ever been ever. JUST GO and get a oreo milkshake!! Service could always use work in a college town. But that's ok.”

“of all the years that I've been eating pizza I remember when Columbus was brand new and Mark opened it three different buildings ago it was amazing and it still is nobody has sauce like his Nobody Does the crust like him, I don't live anywhere near Clemson now and that stinks cuz I'm really craving this pizza”

“The employees are super friendly and helpful The hot dogs are delicious, Thanks.”

“I ordered a Bacon Ranch Chicken Cheese Steak the other day and I am still in disbelief on how good that tasted. I had to call up just to see who made my meal… Mrs. Alyssa my taste buds are in love. Jersey Mikes has just became my #1 restaurant. God bless!”

“this has got to be the best tacos in Clemson 6 Mile or Central and where else can you get tacos for a 1.25 every Tuesday please check them out”

“Idk what the smell was but it was awful as soon as you walk in. Service was great & the food was okay. I just couldn’t get past the smell of the restaurant. Really ruined the whole experience.”

“I was looking forward to attending dinner here at Calhoun Corners restaurant and we had a great meal, great atmosphere and excellent service. My wife had come here several times when she went to Clemson, but this was before the fire in 1997. We continue to hear great reviews about this restaurant, so we were excited to eat here.

The restaurant offers a large selection of appetizers, prime rib, fresh cut beef, seafood, fish and poultry. The wine list is top notch. Known for their prime rib and filet, we were excited to try them. We made a reservation (highly recommended especially on game weekends) for when they opened, and were seated immediately. Our waitress was Alyse and she was excellent. Our son ordered the prime rib, and it was cooked to perfection. Okay that’s a stretch. He absolutely loves it rare, so for him it was perfection and the way it should be served! We had the filet with some sides, and it did not disappoint. To finish it off I, had the brownie sundae. Delicious! We also had a nice bottle of wine to go with our delicious steaks.

The atmosphere is cozy and charming. Great for a romantic date, special occasion or business dinner. There is a bar as well.

Next up is their other restaurant called Pixie & Bill’s. If this was any indication, it will be an awesome meal.”

“I ate at ESSO Club on Saturday night for my first time and I for sure want to come back... I had the Ribeye Steak Quesadilla and it was yummy !!”

“Best bartenders in town. Pretty much the only bar for adults in Clemson.”

“Great food, better service.”

“Best Food Service Ever (just a little expensive but GOOD valuable customer service)!!!! I recommend anyone to go there rather than all Starbucks shops oncampus. Because, I’d tried to pay cash for the first time there, but they said no, and I did the same thing for this place and they were so humble and nice that they gave everything I’d needed for FREE ?”

“Food is always good and the service is always great”

“I normally just order ahead at this Starbucks but today I ordered in person and was met with exceptional customer service! The workers were so kind complementing my name and outfit along with getting my food and drink out quickly. Truly brightened my day and made me want to order in person more often just based off the kindness of the workers alone.”

“Osaka is my favorite place in Clemson and I miss it so much now that I’m gone. If you’re there during the day, the woman who works there is SO sweet. It’s so fast and good and I always try to go when I’m back in the area.”

“Amazing service, the establishment has such a welcoming outside environment which is perfect for having a drink and catching up with friends. They really display their love for the Clemson tigers through their color scheme, murals, and events happening weekly. Wouldn’t want to relax during the day or enjoy my night anywhere else!”

“Love the outdoor atmosphere of the restaurant. Our orders came worh both a soup and a salad. The in house made ginger dressing was the best I have had anywhere. Miso soup was also amazing. Portion sizes were excellent and every dish tried at our table right down to the kids meal my grandson had was excellent. Highly recommend this place. This was out first time here but it will not be our last!”

“Super yummy coffee! The turtle is my favorite, hot and iced. Great atmosphere.”

“The food is very good with big portions. I particularly like the Philly cheese steak. Beer and drinks are reasonably priced. Service is great, I sit at the bar if I'm by myself, but never had a problem getting a table.”

“This is my favorite Burger King I’ve been to. Staff are always great and food is always fresh. My only complaint is I wish the tables were more clean. Everytime my family and I go here there are crumbs all over the tables. Other than that the staff are incredible.”

“Doesn’t seem as bad as other reviews suggest. It’s operated by Aramark, so you don’t get the same level of service that a regular Chick-Fil-A location provides, but they seem to prepare the food quick, and it tasted just as good, so I can’t complain.”

“very friendly waitress 😀she was kind and helpful”

“Awesome customer service! Food is always fresh and delicious :)”

“This Panda is not my favorite Panda Express I’ve been to.

I personally enjoy broccoli and beef. I’m not sure if others just don’t order it at this location but almost every time I eat here the b&b is old and soggy.

The rest of the food is generally pretty hot and good.
The service is only okay which I understand. They’re super busy with feeding the staff and students.
The atmosphere is good but bad? Nice and clean but the sitting is all open food court style and very compact. Tends to get loud in busy times.

Overall, good experience

Parking: There’s a huge lot across the street but it’s metered and super difficult to find parking at almost all times of day.”

“Starr was pleasant! Courteous and polite. We had our drinks refilled quickly. The food was delicious. Starr recommended our food and we enjoyed every bite. Overall, a great experience!”

“Great restaurant! I got the Tonkatsu Kimchi and really enjoyed it. Great service too”

“Great people with great products! HIGHLY recommend!”

“Great service! When ordering, I asked if they had an Oreo Milkshake. Even though it wasn't on the menu, my order taker offered to make one for me anyway! Not to mention, this was around 11pm at night! Very impressed! And the Oreo shake was delicious! 😋”

“I Like Working here for my Junior Year here At College the Co workers there are nice and friendly I Loved scooping the ice cream and giving them to people”

“I just want to give a huge shoutout to the Clemson sc location! I thought I lost my promise ring so I called to see if they’d found it. They looked and called me back. They said they would call back again once they cleaned up for closing if they found it. I ended up finding it myself and they called me back to assure me they didn’t find it. I commend the dedication and I’m so appreciative that they searched for it and kept me updated. Very good customer service!”

“I love everything about cookout! No other place can beat them! Haha! They are open late and they are fast and it's always hot and fresh every single time!!!!! And amazing prices!”

“very friendly waitress 😀she was kind and helpful”

“I placed an online order and by the time I drove there-less than 10 minutes my food was ready. It was fresh and hot and my salad was fresh and delicious. No skimping on the toppings. Jason was walking in at the same time as I was and immediately went and helped me retrieve my order. He was very pleasant and courteous. Overall a great experience. Will be back.”

“Meka is the queen of customer service! As someone who owns franchise locations, this is someone that I would absolutely love to hire and have working for me any day”

“My husband and I love! this DD. we go so much! we love the 2-6 deal. the Coffee is so good. we love it so much. Today a guy named Mathew served us. I think he was new, he was very nice. I would recommend giving him a raise. 👍”

In our humble opinion, the interior is simple, yet relaxing, very clean and good service. Definitely recommend people to come here again!”

“I have been to Mexico five times. This is still the best Mexican restaurant I have ever been to. Everything here is phenomenal. The mole negro is as good as you'll get in Oaxaca. Even a humble taco salad is a delicious. The marinade on the chicken is flavorful but not picante. It's well decorated, clean and has a great menu.”

“Real quality gyro meat, and incredible homemade desserts!!!! Great vibe you can trust is authentic”

“Joe, Kate, Carissa are so extremely nice and professional and the food was excellent!!! We will definitely be back! Thank yall for an amazing experience our first time here!!”

“They’re fast & my order is always finished when I arrive. The pizza is one of the best in town. The dough is on the sweeter side & not too thin. 10/10 recommend trying them.”
