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

“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!!!!!“

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

“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!!!“

“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.“

“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“

“Love it, best shaved ice around“

“This was a last minute stop one Thursday night as we were out in Spartanburg and our movie plans got cut short. My family and I drove past this place and decided to turn in and see what they offered. Not only did they offer AMAZING food, but the atmosphere was so cool. Our server was the highlight of it all. I believe her name was Za (apologies if incorrect). She made the entire trip phenomenal! Friendly, energetic, attentive...like we were family for 30 years. She's the heart of that place! We'll be back just to see her and get some food of course bc from the wings to steaks to burgers to wraps...it was all delicious!“

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

“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!!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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…“

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

“This is hands down the best IHOP in Spartanburg. The servers are always so sweet. We always get our food quick and it never fails to be delicious. Going to this IHOP is our Saturday morning family tradition. We go almost every weekend! 10/10 recommend eating here for any occasion!“

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

“Awesome people good food 😊“

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

“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.“

“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 !!!!“

“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. :-)“

“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!“

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

“This was my first time to be at Waffle House. My daughter always steered me away from it because of the service reputation. We were on a road trip from northeast and passed by a nearby gas station, and i mentioned this place and people's rating for it, and finally she agreed to give it a shot. And she wasn't disappointed, let alone myself. People there are beyond awesome. So friendly, well wishers and hard working, helping with choices, keeping a good conversation running, all while preparing the food, which was fresh and tasty. I love this place, i recommend it, I'll go back whenever i drive by.“

“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 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!!“

“I'd never visited a Fatz, and I found what I like here. A variety of great options are available including grilled lemon-pepper white fish and tender sirloins. I highly recommend the broccoli casserole. Better than the food was the graciousness of our server and the attentiveness and good humor of the manager who was very personable and engaging. The long-time highway construction in I-85 seems to have discouraged business traffic; nevertheless, stopping by here along your way is worth your time and money.“

“We came in while the staff was cleaning and restocking, and they greeted us so warmly that it was like each employee was personally happy to see us. When our food came out everything was amazing. Hashbrowns? Crispy. Eggs? Perfect. Throughout the entire interaction the staff checked in on us. We had several short conversations and it felt like we were old friends catching up in a grocery store. We of course left a large tip, but this was genuinely one of the best Waffle House experiences I’ve ever had, which is really saying something. I’m a regular at three locations, and whenever I’m in the area I’ll be coming back to this one as well.“

“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“

“we had a good cook today!“
