“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!“

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

“Stopped by TD’s Food and Drink in downtown Clemson during a road trip, and it’s the go-to spot before a game, buzzing with Clemson spirit right next to campus!

This lively student dive bar delivers high energy and a perfect pre-game vibe. The wings were a standout, packed with flavor and cooked just right. The sandwiches were delicious too, hearty and great for a casual lunch. My wife and I shared a pitcher of “The Tiger” (orange vodka, Sprite, and orange juice), a fun, citrusy drink that was a hit with our table and new friends we made among Clemson students and alumni - such a great community feel!

That said, the dive bar atmosphere - loud, crowded, and unpolished - might not suit everyone, though it’s part of the charm if you’re here for the game-day hype. Service was solid but a bit stretched during the busy lunch rush. If you’re looking for tasty bar food and the heart of Clemson’s pre-game excitement, TD’s is the place to be. Go Tigers!“
