“Meant to write this months ago, but forgot. We ordered $300 worth of BBQ, sides and buns to feed the Abbott Farms crew and my shop employees on July Fourth. OUTSTANDING EXPERIENCE. The BBQ is on point, the sides are divine (you have GOT to try the green beans) and this family is all about God. Just can't say how much we love and support this business!!!!!“

“I think they have the best chicken wings and fries around , I tried many places with wings but none tops Crawfords, love em“

“Awesome food and atmosphere, just GO!! Mike was an awesome server!“

“My family and I love John’s! His breakfasts are amazing. Of course, my favorite is the huge waffle with bacon. For lunch, I love the cafe combo served with his spicy pimento cheese and chicken salad. In addition to great food, there is a friendly atmosphere, making it a great place to eat.“

“the waitress Tina needs another job cause being a waitress isn't the job for her she DROPPED 2 boxes on floor behind me she could have sat them down instead she rushed us to order never came back and asked us if we needed coffee had to get up 2 times to get more when she cleared a table of it's dishes she dropped them down on other dishes so that was very loud also she was right at my table and didn't even look my way then when we was waiting to pay in line instead of saying excuse me sir she once again was rude saying "you need to move" so I could complain about the food also but I'll jus complain about "Tina" the waitress. bad service can ruin the whole experience of eating here never going to waste my money or time again the rest of staff was great though..put Tina to doing dishes in the back so others don't have to experience her being disrespectful“

“Always fantastic, never disappoints!“

“First time here and it was amazing. Got there early to eat at the bar and was impressed with the Samsung phone chargers at each stool. Then the food and drinks were phenomenal! So cool to be able to watch the food being prepared from my seat! 10/10 for food and experience! kudos!!!“

“We are regulars and come from another town to visit this one specifically. Love the hamburger steak. So happy they brought it back. Our server was top notch also!“

“I took myself in a Solo Date for my Birthday! Thanks to Erin, my server, who made my evening perfect. The food and atmosphere are perfect. Thank you!“

“Love it, best shaved ice around“

“The restaurant was short staffed on the day we went. My best friend had her birthday party there, which was scheduled weeks ahead of time, and they were not staffed for the event. The manager on duty was also the cook and the food kept coming out incorrect. I'm so happy that I only ordered wings because the party was basically over before my food came and was actually over before a few of the other guests received their food. I have heard a lot of good things about this place and I loved the bartender and some of the regulars. I will try them again in the future, but I will definitely call ahead of time to make sure that they at least have servers plus all other essential staff on duty to help make it a more pleasant dining experience.“

“I love dray bar! Peaceful space with light music, great food and drinks! I like to go here and study if in person class was canceled. I love their Au poivre fries and the jack Daniel’s blackberry mule“

“Very enjoyable breakfast ❤️“

“Gerhards is the ultimate! Food and service is Phenomenal! Read a few negative comments. That was after reopening during pandemic. Of course, not enough staff. If you were not happy, please try again. Totally worth it!“

“The food is just like our Mother’s !! I always keep some extras in the freezer. Not only do I love the food I love all the girls that cook the food. It is delicious!!! The girls are great!!“

“Best Lobby and staff in town. David and Walter are the best. Marriott is so lucky to have them!“

“We have been to FR8T Yard many times, but last night’s band Randomonium was AWESOME! Please invite them back! The beers and ciders were cold and flowing, and the Yard Hooch is a must-try!! Love the pretzels too! For those of you who haven’t been, what have you been waiting for?! Great place to meet up with friends anytime!!“

“The clock is great! They have something for everyone!“

“One of Spartanburg's best! Been coming here for years. In fact, where did my wife (who is originally from Greenwood SC) want to go to dinner on our anniversary? Gotta marry a woman who'll choose The Beacon over a snooty five-star restaurant any day! Recommendations: everything but my go-tos or either the double chili-cheese with bacon or slice heavy on the red with a tea of course!“

“Charlie cooked while Meagan assisted me with the menu. It's extensive. Everything is short order cooked. I went there just to see what the place was like, there were already a lot of good reviews. Don't let the outside fool you, the place is clean and the food is delicious. I wasn't that hungry but I wolfed down my delicious flounder sandwich so fast I forgot to take a picture. The fries are crinkly fries. The coleslaw is standard. They have seafood, burgers, a gyro, and on and on. Dinners come with a small salad.

I shall return.“

“The bisket is full of fat, if you like fat you are in the right place. I have never been served slices of fat. I had more fat then bisket. Will not return. Brisket sandwich was 10.00 and the majority was fat. They knew I had never had bisket before, so the served me fat.“

“Good food. Fair prices. Friendly staff. Free refills on homemade lemonade and tea. No fountain drinks. Hot dogs are on the small side but they offer a 2 dog meal that makes up for it. I personally love their hush puppies and seasoned fries cooked extra crispy.“

“My wife and I stopped in for breakfast this morning. We were greeted at the door by the smiling face of Nickkia, who also became our waitress. Nickkia helped guide us through the menu and told us about the specials. We both decided on one of the 6.00 breakfast specials . The food came to the table quickly and was hot and delicious. Nickkia kept checking on us and did a great job taking care of us. The restaurant was super clean, service was outstanding, great prices and great food. Bravo IHOP, job well done! We look forward to our next visit to this location. AAAA++++“

“I would like to say that I had an issue with a bartender one evening BUT Travis Donavan , manager, called me the very next day and gave me his full attention. This bar is one of Spartanburg’s most lovely settings in town and the food in restaurant is excellent. The staff has always been professional and friendly. Sometimes folks just have bad days…“

“I adore this honey baked ham store on n. pine st. I dont know who worked the closing shift on 02/03/2026, but I will scream to the heavens they need a raise. I work at the hospital nearby and had not eaten all day. Remembered last minute I craved a tavern club, put in an order through Door dash. Only to realize they had 15mins till it closed. Thought HBH would cancel it, (wouldnt have been mad) but next thing I know, I get an alert that it had been picked up. They made it and it pretty and tasty! Thank you, it put me in a great mood to finish the rest of my shift!“

“Great people! I recommend the hot B-Club or hot bologna Club, the onion rings with ranch and seasoning omg and hot wings with texas pete and ranch, and the Double ChilliCheese Burgers are amazing 👏🏽 Also the chicken liver plate or the Hamburger stk plate with smothered onions and cheese... im getting hungry!!! Also I hate slaw but there slaw is the only slaw ill ever eat !!!!“

“great place for large parties.. very attentive staff and a vast variety of dishes to choose from.“

“Awesome people good food 😊“

“food was amazing. very flavorful . My new lunch spot.“

“They have different fries and they are nasty and they were reheated and it made them even worse. Got new cooked fries and still nasty. Need old fries back or definitely a different kind than they have now! Food is way better and the crinkle fries are the best and I have to go there 2 to 3 times a week for a bbq sandwich. Me and my husband go here ever sat and Sunday and once a week.. Everything is so much better it's the best!“

“We first visited The Terrace on Oct-17-2014. Got there around 6:00pm, while it was still daylight outside. Probably the worst thing I can say about the place was that it took 6 to 8 minutes before we were initially greeted outside; after that, literally everything was almost perfect. The wait staff was attentive and friendly, and the food (flatiron steak, salads, lobster spaghetti) was *outstanding* - I'm currently eating a small piece of leftover steak as I type this; steak is almost never very good when re-heated, but it's still juicy and flavorful. The atmosphere was top-notch, with a pleasant breeze, fireside seats, and an outstanding view. We will definitely be back, on special occasions. :-)“

“Very good breakfast and staff is great! Food cooked they way you order it.“

“I've been to this waffle House several times during the day in the evening and also early in the morning. Always fast clean service.
All the wait staff and cooks very cheerful friendly people. This should set an example of waffle House's but then again most of our houses I've been to are always great This one just outshines a lot of the other ones.“

“Excellent food. We both ordered a French dip, it was fantastic. We then shared a chocolate bourbon pecan pie...I’m in a chocolate coma! It was decedent! Next time will share the bread pudding. Highly recommend this restaurant, if we lived closer we would try dinner. I’m very impressed with the dinner menu.“

“Absolute best spot to get darn good hotdogs! I drive from Easley when I can just to eat! When i visit my family we have lunch here as well! They have some of the best and Must taste chilli and slaw! ❤️❤️❤️ oh how I wish they would open a spot in greenville, but the 1hr drive wont stop my from coming 😊 forever customer!“

“We have been coming here since 1979. Celebrating our 45th Anniversary tonight for tomorrow's actual anniversary date. An added treat. Peddler pie!!!! Food was excellent as always!!“

“We had a wonderful server who provided quick and accurate service to a party of 14-15 people by herself. The food was excellent. This was my first visit here. I will definitly be back.“

“We stopped in on our way to TN from FL. We were a little late in the morning, however, the counter girl went out of her way to make me fresh cup of coffee and answered all of our endless questions. We ordered the cinnamon sugar bagel toasted and buttered. It did not disappoint, the bagel had plenty of crystallized sugar on the outside and with a wonderful surprise of cinnamon pockets on the inside. The husband ordered the cheese everything bagel with egg and ham, and he was in heaven!

We will make another stop on our way home to FL“

“Absolutely wonderful staff. Food was excellent! Some customer was complaining about waitress looking at his grandson. The waitress did look at him a couple of times for his own safety because he was up walking around touching everything. It was obvious that your grandson was special needs but never did waitress say anything about what he was doing but did glance a couple of times to ensure his safety.This is the BEST Waffle House to visit.“

“Am testifying of the miraculous work of a great traditional doctor called Dr MOMOH. I have been suffering from herpes since last 2 years with my wife but today I am happy that am cure from it with the herbal medicine made by Dr MOMOH the great healer, I was browsing the Internet searching for help when I came across a testimony shared by someone on how Dr MOMOH cure her from Herpes Disease.
