“We dropped in with about twenty people after a wrestling tournament on Saturday February the first and the employees and manager were awesome. Very accommodating and patient and helpful. The pizzas we ordered were delicious. One of our little wrestlers caused a spill and the manager was right out and helped clean up. I will definitely be back when we come back here”

“I have tried many coffee places, but Summer Moon is moving to the top of my list! The staff was very kind and the coffee was delicious. I also enjoyed the view of Bowman Field!”

“We sat at the bar and enjoyed our conversation with the clemson Senior, Lauren. The food and drinks were superb.”

“Great upscale when in Clemson! Love.”

“Everything about All In from the coffee to the sweets to the sandwiches..staff and atmosphere is wonderful!!”

“Mellow Mushroom is much more than just a pizza chain—it’s a psychedelic, art-filled experience that leaves you hypnotized by the explosive flavor of their pies. If you value a high-quality, chewy crust and creative, "out-there" toppings, Mellow Mushroom is elite. It’s not just a meal; it’s a state of mind.”

“Delish! We enjoyed the fresh ice cream 100%”

“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.”

“Love this place! Great atmosphere, indoor/outdoor, lots of different beer!! And live music!! 🎶 🍺”

“its,been fun the people are great.”

“Sunnyside Cafe was the perfect place for my daughters baby shower today! Excellent food, quality service & Crystal was amazing to work with! My 20 guests had a wonderful experience and I highly recommend SunnySide!”

“Went here for my birthday. Menu has something for everyone. The sushi was so fresh! We all loved our meals. This is definitely a place I’d return! Thank you all for the kind service and friendly atmosphere!”

“Very good 😊 Recommended good friendly service”

“This is our go to place to stay when visiting Clemson. The staff is always friendly and willing to help accommodate every situation. Pets are treated just as welcome, they understand they are part of the family too. The rooms are sized perfectly to stretch out but still small enough to be cozy.”

“So amazing my first time there and staff were so wonderful food was delish and fresh ! I will be bak very soon! Thank u !”

“A Clemson staple, quintissential part of any Tiger's experience. Consumed more Jet Fuels here more than should be humanly possible. BEST ownership in Clemson history. Not enough stars in the world for TTT!”

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

“In town visiting and stopped by for a treat! Absolutely the best ice cream! They have something for everyone! Andee and her staff are AWESOME! If you’re in Clemson stop by and support local! Trust me you won’t be disappointed!”

“Great Atmosphere, Excellent service. Food was awesome. One of the Best Burgers I've ever had. Thanks for a wonderful experience.... we will be back!”

“great place”

“Great college bar vibes. Food/Kitchen is always on point. Bartenders are the best. Always a “for sure” lunch stop when we’re in Clemson!!”

“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.”

“Nostalgic hamburger joint. Older clientele will remember when this was the norm and younger clientele can experience how things were when life was a lot slower pace.”

“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!!”

“Esso was so so good to us during the George Strait concert pregame. Their staff worked harder than I've ever seen and did everything to accommodate people in a crazy environment!! Top notch! Highly recommend!!”

“This is hands down the new leader in FRESH subs. The bread, meats and especially the veggies are the best quality and fresh tasting. Great place for a great sub.”

“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.”

“Traditional sports bar with a great lunch menu with daily specials and a wider menu with a range of traditional and modern favourites.
The drinks and food are well priced and the waitresses are friendly.
Range of booths, tables and upstairs seating.”

“went by boat Saturday. excellent pizza. a lot of toppings. everything was perfect. very polite employees. quick service. plenty of dock parking in individual slips. came with our dog. shaded covered patio with outdoor ceiling fans. very comfortable.”

“As far as chain pizzerias go, it’s hard to beat Marcos in the upstate. Little Caesar’s is garbage, Papa John’s ain’t what it used to be, Dominos is good in a pinch…but I know for a fact Marcos dough is made in house daily.

If you are going to spend money on a pizza night for the family and go the route of franchise pizza, go with Marcos. I walked into the Clemson location on a Friday at 5:30 pm, ordered, and was in my truck headed home at 5:32 and the food was hot, fresh, and cooked properly.”

“We had an excellent dinner at Pixie & Bill’s! We are in from Charleston to celebrate a graduation! It was our first time, and we were impressed. Great prices, huge portions, and plenty of options on the menu. The $40 ribeye was delicious and big enough for leftovers! We also loved the pimento cheese appetizer, bread, and drinks. Our waiter, Conner was incredibly friendly and made our night even better. We’ll recommend this place to friends!”

“Wow!! I loved my açaí bowl I got here. It had a wonderful combination of flavors and fruits, along with a satisfying amount of crunchy granola. Best açaí bowl I’ve had, and I dream about it while I sleep. If you’re in the town of Clemson and are craving a cold, refreshing, and sweet açaí bowl, go here.”

“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”

“Celebrated my birthday tonight and it was amazing! The food, service, and attention to detail were spot on. Our server, Trey, was great! Will definitely be going back!”

“I've seen my fair share of insane things here.”

“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”

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

“Great college bar! Must come here.”

“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.”

“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.”

“So fresh and so delicious. I had the volcano bowl and I can’t wait to have it again. ❤️”

“Thank you for the awesome service after a horrible flight back to HI situations w/GSP. Love more time in Clemson with my sister!!”

“Amazing place, I didn't know they were here for 2 years (for some reason didn't come up on maps).

They are incredible, its a beautiful cozy resturant and the service was fast and friendly!

I ordered the Filet mignon hibachi with fried rice. The steak was cooked to perfection and seasoned beautifully along with the rice!

Tried both the miso and chicken broth soups and both are delicious but pretty light so dont expect a super rich broth.

Highly recommend, there is not a better place in the clemson area when it comes to hibachi!”

“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.”

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

“I was there November. I don't know how there's any bad reviews. just snooty effs. Jeff was so good to me when i was staying at the Patrick Inn. I stopped in the Bar in the back. He took care of me so well & wouldn't let me buy my shot. He gave me sampler pizza too. can't wait to get back. They were great to me. I'll be back ASAP to look around the area for an AIRBNB to look around for a place to live. Sooo many peeps from the North who appreciate just being in a welcoming place. He'll remember me, and so did the bartender when i came back days later. See y'all then..”

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

“Amazing”

“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 walking around campus and the value on the menu looked too good to be true, but I was pleasantly proven wrong! For the price, it seems to be some of the biggest portions in downtown. Delicious food, great service (shout out to my server Devan), unlimited refills of sweet tea, overall a wonderful place, I recommend highly and will be a repeat customer.”

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

“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!”

“Good experience, for as long as the line was food was made fairly fast. Tasty burger! Highly recommend the Brioche bun.

Vegetarian options: Salads, mac n cheese, fries, parfaits.

Dietary restrictions: Some accommodations and many options EXEPT FOR PEANUT ALLERGIES!!!!!!

Parking: Good luck finding parking anywhere here

“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 ?”

“This is the Starbucks in Ingles, not those slackers downtown. I will honestly not go back there after going numerous times and always having to have my drink re-made. I <3 this one though. ;)”

“Got my food ordered online for the first time and it took awhile to get here. But it finally was delivered and the food was hot and delicious. I ordered the teriyaki chicken, steak and shrimp with fried rice with sweet carrots. 2 sides of teriyaki shrimp. I also ordered 4 spring rolls. Definitely I would recommend this place.”

“I come quite often when I get off of work late, even though it is late, they are more than happy to serve me. Good attitudes and good food. They do not cut corners. I’m more than happy to keep giving them my business!”

“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”

“it ain't cheap but it's delicious!!!”

“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 people with great products! HIGHLY recommend!”

“great place”

“It's mcdonalds you know? Where else will you get dinner and a show for that cost? the mangers are ALWAYS screaming at the other employees, half the employees are either 1- entirely unbothered or 2- yelling back. I think the yelling is necessary because of the constant, relentless beeping. I would probably be so over-stimulated after an 8 hour shift I'd yell at other adults too. Fantastic place. I just want to get my kids a few wheel spin. Lol”

“Thank you for the awesome service after a horrible flight back to HI situations w/GSP. Love more time in Clemson with my sister!!”

“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!”

“My mother and I stopped by this Wendy's today for lunch and we had possibly THE BEST Wendy's experience we've ever had!!! Jeffrey is absolute ROCKSTAR, he is the embodiment of great customer service!!! We will be back again, THE WORLD NEEDS MORE JEFFREY'S♥♥♥”

“I have never once left a review, but this place made it impossible not to. The workers were all so sweet to me. Such nice people. The store was clean and the food came out fast, fresh, and hot. I left with a smile on my face and I am very happy with this experience. I love Taco Bell so much and this made me love the establishment even more. Thank you staff!”

“I was extremely impressed this morning! The shift manager was awesome!! He & his team were awesome! Great customer service, great attitude, great leadership!!!! Great vibe inside!! They were very busy. Young manager & staff doing a wonderful job today. He was so respectful to his team and customers. All great, top quality service. 👍 Which is all rare these days. This is how it should be done !!!”

“Strawberry lemonade was a refreshing choice on a hot day. Also, my dog liked his first puppoccino.”

“Had the coffee custard bubble tea with added boba. Great place.”

“The food was Amazing. The servers were very nice and easy to talk to. It was a little hard to find but the view of the golf course and lake were beautiful. Would definitely come again and recommend to many.”

“We visited for the first time today & were quite impressed ~ I suspect we will become big fans! We went to their charter location, now one of five locations; the variety in tasty offerings, as well great artisan-made organic skin & health concoctions, along with jewelry, pottery, & leather goods were quite unexpected. Highly recommend 👍🏻👍🏻”

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

“Just my 2nd time going through the drive thru and had to shout out Brody, dude kills it with his personal service and making 1 minute feel like 10 seconds. Of course he’s the man in charge too”

“This was my first time eating Firehouse Subs and also using their rewards app. The experience was very easy and fast. Someone in my party was also ordering a sub in person as part of the May 6th Mike's Steak and Cheese Melt promotion, their experience was just as friendly. Both orders were delivered accurately. Can't wait to go back.”

“My view during the Morgan Wallen concert. For Christmas the girl's got tickets to Morgan Wallen, so tonight I was the driver. I ended up parking a few blocks from this restaurant and walked over after the crowd died down. Everything was excellent from the service from my waitress to the quality of the food.”

“I very rarely order Chik-fil-A, but when you’re a starving college student who had to choose between eating breakfast and getting to class on time, nothing tastes better than a warm chicken sandwich with a huge soda to help get through the rest of the day. The staff is *extremely* nice!! I forgot my wallet one day and a really kind girl working there generously paid for my order and even asked if I wanted anything extra. I’m not even a regular or anything — I’ve only been twice at the time I’m writing this review (although I’ll definitely be revisiting)! I felt super bad and nauseous that morning from bad sleep and a stressful weekend and that interaction made my entire week. Very clean place with fast and kind service and good food. What else could you ask for in a fast food restaurant? Super recommend!! Thank you again!!! :D”

“There were some not great reviews so I almost didn’t try this place, but i was pleasantly surprised. Good pizza and garlic knots for the price. The employee at the counter was very pleasant. Best as a takeout place as seating is pretty limited.”
