ITSURWIENER Restaurant and Bar

I had an extremely upsetting experience at Itsurwiener during my senior bar crawl, a day that was supposed to be one of celebration. The bar was packed, and while some of my friends were able to get drinks and go downstairs, I stood at the bar for what felt like an hour, never once being acknowledged or served.

Eventually, the owner who is an older man known as “Mr. Wien” came over and picked up an empty can of Mom Water Seltzer that I had placed on the bar. Instead of calmly addressing it, he immediately demanded I leave, claiming they didn’t sell that brand. I tried to explain that it was empty, I didn’t realize it was an issue, and that I had been waiting patiently to be served. I was calm and respectful. He told me to come around the bar so I complied. Immediately when I began speaking to him he was aggressive and hostile while I was nothing but calm, respectful, and apologetic. He began yelling at me in front of other patrons, pointing at a sign that says “outside alcohol prohibited” (as if that excuses his treatment). Instead of listening and speaking to me like a human, he further escalated it by continuing to yell at me and accuse me of sneaking it in, and ultimately threatening to call the police if I didn’t leave. Completely unnecessary.

Let me be clear: This was never about the can. This was about how I was disrespected, talked down on and ultimately humiliated by a grown man who chose to exert power over a 5’4”, 110-pound 21-year-old girl who posed no threat and was doing nothing wrong. I left in tears, not because I was bitter I “got kicked out,” but because I was publicly aggressively confronted and degraded for a small and honest mistake that could’ve been resolved with one sentence.

If you value being treated with basic respect or if you’re a young woman who doesn’t want to be deliberately singled out and screamed at by a man three times your age look elsewhere.

Overhated. best atmosphere any day of the week. such a wide selection of food and drinks. great place to take parents for parents weekend.

Was out during the bar crawl and was waiting at the bar for drinks. However the bartender kept avoiding us and we could not find a manager. We waited for over an hour before deciding to leave. We left and got service elsewhere within minutes. Will not be going back.

Went for an early dinner with our special needs 4 year old. Four doormen standing at the door when the place was mostly empty. One pointed at my wife carrying our son’s diaper bag and just said “you can’t bring that in”. Then just waive at some sign on the wall. We’re coming in during restaurant hours not bar hours and you say we can’t bring a diaper bag for a toddler? My wife looked on your website and could not find any of the rules and regulations listed at the door on your website. If you are going to deter the families with small children who also live in Clemson from frequenting your establishment, at least be up front about it and list them on your website. Families like hotdogs and burgers too.

Used to drop in to get food occasionally, can’t anymore due to the establishment now being anti-concealed carry. Food was usually good and so was the service, but it’s sad to see places stop supporting the 2nd amendment. I understand not allowing people who are drinking to carry(as is the law) but a blanket no carry stops lawful carriers from exercising their rights when stopping in for food or to pick up or meet friends.

Please consider turning off your speakers outside. The volume is so unnecessarily loud, the entire Ucentre house can hear your music all day and night.

Blasting music until 2am across a residential area is incredibly inconsiderate, you are even blasting music when Nobody is there.

Thank you in advance

Daughter is a first year at Clemson, went tonight, Wednesday, a few minutes before 'trivia' was to begin. Sat for 15 minutes without a "mouth breather" coming to take an order, so asks, got pointed, begrudgingly to a place to order.... Gets food, which she said was high$ for what it was, goes and sit back down, her and friends start to eat, at which point 'mouth breather' arrives at table, trivia still not begun, and tells them they'll have to leave, as they don't have id, which she did, but they still can't stay as they're not 21.... Soooo, Restaurant trivia night huh? Maybe they need to stop taking money off most college kids for food, and then ask them to leave before the 'trivia' begins. Conclusion could be drawn that a 'food' table won't be as $lucrative as a 'food and alcohol' table...... lesson learned.

At 90 years old, I’ve had my fair share of dining experiences, but ITSURWIENER Restaurant and Bar brought something fresh and fun to the table that I didn’t expect. The quirky name caught my attention, and I decided to give it a try with my family. The atmosphere was lively, full of energy, and though it’s not what I’m used to, I found myself enjoying every minute of it.

The food was surprisingly delicious—comforting, hearty, and exactly what I needed. I had one of their signature hot dogs, and it was packed with flavor, reminding me of the simpler meals I used to enjoy in my younger days, but with a modern twist. The staff were incredibly friendly, making sure I was comfortable and had everything I needed.

It’s a place where people of all ages can come together and have a good time. Even at my age, it’s nice to try something new and feel welcomed by such a vibrant community. I might not be the typical customer here, but I left with a smile on my face and a full stomach.

My husband and I have been wanting to try this place and stopped in for lunch today. It always has a big crowd waiting outside to get in so that’s a sign the food is great. It did not disappoint!
I had the mushroom Swiss burger with caramelized onions and jalapeños. The hubs had the 2 hot dog special for $6.99 with fresh cut fries and it was delicious ! The decor was amazing and w even got the VIP tour from the owner Bonnie to the downstairs bar area with also doubles as an event venue.

We definitely will be back! We loved everything about it!

I stopped in for lunch today for the first time. With school out for summer, iit was not overly crowded. The cashier was friendly and while waiting on my food, I met one of the owners. She went above and beyond when it came to customer service. I wasn't sure what to expect when I first went in, but I'll definitely be back. It is basically a sports bar that lets you build your own hotdogs, tots, fries, etc with a wide variety of toppings. Check them out for yourself.

Parking: Street parking available during non-peak hours. Walking distance from Clemson Campus.
