“I'm a local and try to eat there at least once a week! I have enjoyed everything I have had there, ribs, BBQ chicken, pork tenderloin, and brisket, but my favorite is their pulled pork BBQ plate with greenbeans and cole slaw, the best ever! But other favorites are the Brunswick stew, sweet potato crunch and their potato salad! And do not miss the Hush Puppies!!! I have never been disappointed with the food or the service!!!“

“Great Chicken Tenders ,hushpuppies and love those vegetarian greens. I like my sauce on the side. Great Service!“

“The best fried chicken I have eaten in a long time.“

“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.“

“Food was great and our server, Amber, was even better! She is the best!!!“

“I travel from Syracuse to Spartanburg every year and I always make sure I get the wedge salad at Dray...it's the best!“

“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“

“Your fabulous dishes😘, i would definitely dine here with my family someday“

“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!“

“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!!!“

“Our chiropractor recommended this place. It was spot on!!! The service was impeccable and the food was out of this world. The patty melt, jalepeno popper burger, the parm fries, and the sweet potato fries were absolutely amazing!!! We drove from Greenwood to try this place! We will most certainly be coming back to this establishment!!“

“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!“

“The food was great. The staff was friendly and helpful. The burgers are you choose what you want on them. The meat for burgers look like fresh hand patties not frozen. The fries were crispy and my wife got here onion rings crispy. This is a delicious spot to stop and eat.“

“Hole in the wall place that we ran across. Faster than alot of fast food places. Burgers and fries place. Really good food. The hotdog chili could have been better, but really good spot for a mom and pop change up from typical fast food places.“

“This was my first time here and I can say they did NOT disappoint! I had read other reviews that their breakfast was really good and again they did not disappoint. I had the steak and eggs with grits l; and my fiancé had the Philly omelette with home fries. Both of us finished our plates up!! The environment of the restaurant was so calm and homey. Almost everyone knew everyone and everything felt warm and cozy. I highly recommend this restaurant if you’re in the mood for a good breakfast. We will definitely be back to try the lunch/dinner menu!! ☺️“

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

“great food and service, and very clean“

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

“Awesome customer service! I made a Togo order today, as my first visit here. Dustin recommended the nachos and did a great description on them so I decided to try them. First off, the large order is HUGE! Sooooo good! The flavor was on point. We also got a few burgers, and they were also awesome! I love that the ranch is homemade. Dustin took his time bagging our items, and going over my to go order. He was making sure that I didn’t need anything else with our food. We will definitely be back! Thank you, the tavern and Dustin!“

“The food was great! We all had the “Black and Blue”. Filet medallions were so tender; fried green tomatoes were the best I've ever had; crème brûlée was wonderful as well. Most importantly the service was exceptional. Way beyond expectations. She never let our glasses get empty and made sure our food preferences were honored. She kept asking if we needed anything. Lauren was kind, friendly and had a beautiful smile. She made our experience memorable. Lauren also praised her manager, Dan, stating he was the best she ever worked for, and that the entire staff loved working for him. It was just an all around great experience and we will definitely return!“

“Great atmosphere and delicious burgers!!!!“

“Holmes Hotdogs and catering may be the best local restaurant you could ever have the pleasure of visiting. I first came here over a year ago and I knew then it was something special. If I had a friend from another country visiting, and I could choose one place to show them a true slice of what America should be, I would take them here without a second thought. Holmes has a small menu, and I believe it is perfect. Because of their small menu, I believe they are able to assure every single item on it is made with quality and care. They recently added a new item, the bird dog, to their menu. The bird dog features a chicken tender, pickles, and honey mustard on a hot dog bun. I thought the bird dog was incredible, and I'll be sure to get it again with onions next time. I would personally recommend their chicken sandwich, which is always piping hot and made to order, and their sausage dogs, which I personally believe are their standout menu items, especially with sauerkraut and onions topping them. Holmes has an atmosphere unlike any other restaurants I've ever been in, you can tell the owner and employees truly care about not just the quality of their food and service, but also the wellbeing of their community. I've never felt like I don't belong when I walk into Holmes. I've wrote all of this without even mentioning their incredible prices, which are comparable to other local locations, however the quality of the food, service, and everything else about Holmes is what makes this location worth so much more than any other in the area. Out of anything I've ever reviewed, Holmes has worked the hardest and consistently proved their 5 star rating, and I have no doubt if I reviewed them in another year, they would continue to hold it.“

“I’m a regular at cocobowls in Simpsonville… the Fruitful acaibowl is the best…. Customer service is awesome!!!!!!“

“The best food ever omg I will definitely be going back to get more . 100000 on a scale to 1 -10 irs affordable and very tasty“

“8.5... Food was super fresh... Great service“

“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!“

“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!!“

“Friendly staff, clean and comfortable. The server was attentive and kind and the kitchen did a great job on our delicious breakfast. One complaint for IHOP, we ordered a side of bacon, and it was thin just like that precooked bacon you can get at the grocer, not worth what it costs.“

“excelente , la atención, el tiempo de tus alimentos todo está bien“

“COURTNEY!!!! Absolutely awesome server, friendly and helpful. She made our stop in for dinner extra nice. 🩷“

“Me and my bf love the burgers here they’re amazing 😻“

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

“I fully believe this to be the best Waffle House I have ever been to. The staff were very welcoming and continued to clean as they went. The staff didn’t leave each server to their own table but instead helped each other and checked in with other tables if they thought they may need something. However, what I enjoyed the most was the atmosphere. Regulars that have been coming here for 10 years were joking with staff and vice versa. It felt welcoming and at home. If I lived closer, this would be a regular weekend treat.“

“Wings are better than amazing and cooked when ordered to your liking.

Vegetarian options: Sautéed vegetables

Kid-friendliness: Kids are welcomed

Wheelchair accessibility: Very spacious and wheelchair accessible“

“Get it while you can, this is a dying breed. Quintessential Gen X burger place. My whole visit just now could have been an hour of MTV from the 80’s with the Bowl game on all TV’s. Not being a burger person, I opted for the chicken tenders this time. Not the best, but okay. My husband and his brother were with me and they are both burger eaters, so they were both quite satisfied. The sweet potato fries were excellent, as were the regular potato wedge fries. I highly recommend the fry sauce. There is an extensive bakery menu and excellent shakes. Restrooms were exceptionally clean.“

“Very good food. Fast service. Good waitress ask for Lynn she is the best“

“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…“

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

“I've lived in Pacolet my whole life, and in that time, I personally have never had an issue with the food, service or really anything at this restaurant. The food is standard small diner affair, so hotdogs, hamburgers, chicken, and a flounder plate with quick service and a nice small town appeal. Nine times out of ten, if I do decide to go out to eat and I don't feel like dealing with the traffic or the commute to spartanburg, Gaffney, or union this is where I end up and I've yet to have a bad meal.“

“Just had our company outting. The guys are till talking about how nice the course was. Great experience and hopefully we will be back sooner than later. With golf prices going up everywhere woodfin ridge price matches the course. If you haven’t played it your missing out“

“Saturdays are enjoyable at Darbys. The band is great...not too loud but they rock. I especially love how they play a mix of fast and slow songs. A great evening out with that special person or group of friends. I hope they will bring back country line dance lessons!“

“Local bagel place. Tasty Bagels but her there early in the day to get your pick of a wide variety. Some days people come in to take Bagels to the office so there is not many to choose from inckuding sweet to savory flavors.You can get a breakfast sandwich with a side of breakfast potatoes.. Yummy. There also have a wide variety of cream cheese mixtures. All yummy.They offer lunch type items but I've never had them but they look good.Seating is a mixture of booths, tables both low and high top.Parking is a big lot and slightly uphill to the restaurant. The handicap ramp is nearby to get onto the sidewalk if you need that.We come here almost weekly for brunch. Staff is efficient. They can make various coffee drinks. They take call in orders too.

Parking: Parking is a big lot and slightly uphill to the restaurant. The handicap ramp is nearby to get onto the sidewalk if you need that.

Wheelchair accessibility: Parking is a big lot and slightly uphill to the restaurant. The handicap ramp is nearby to get onto the sidewalk if you need that. Door is a pull out door but straight access in. No steps.“

“Hate to write this review as it's not really about the restaurant as much as the customer/management. We eat here all the time but have never been unfortunate enough be there the same day another "regular" eats. My complaint is that if management is going to allow one customer to sit with their phone playing music (doesn't matter what Genre) so loud the other customers HAVE to listen to it, then I will find a new place to eat, which is a shame because this location has some of the nicest people working there. very sad.“

“Very nice waitstaff. Good.“

“Food is amazing!! Lovely view.. perfect spot for a quiet date night. Highly recommend.“

“We visited on a Sat night We sat at the bar our bartender/waitress was Dee she was so awesome so friendly very attentive and the food was so very good atmosphere was friendly and relaxing an overall great experience highly recommend

Parking: Easy in and out plenty of room“

“I had the Rigsby’s Food Truck come to my work today. They were very easy to schedule. The staff and residents loved it. I had the garlic Parmesan wings and the fries. Everything was wonderful. They had plenty of options for everyone. The service was amazing.“

“This place is amazing. Their menu is filled with so many options that are delicious. I try to make it there at least twice a week. The chili is spot on. It goes great with chili dogs and chili cheese fries and even on their cheeseburgers. They even have fish platters that are awesome. You won't be disappointed. The staff is like a well oiled machine. There is almost no wait.“
