“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“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

“Being a retired military family with kids is tight we asked if they had a military discount before we even ordered any food . The server was nice and looked at the military ID and saw and informed us it was a 10% discount the food was amazing….. Well when we got the check and paid and asked her about the discount she said … ohhh no I didn’t put that on there I’m so sorry …. Money is tight and the bill was about $130 with a tip … we hardly go out and treat ourselves with the prices nowadays so if your military aswell or retired just make sure to bring up the discount again before handing your card like we did“

“I went with a group of 5 and two toddlers. The food was excellent. It was hard to choose what to get due to all of the excellent choices! The atmosphere and server was great also. Also nice to know you can get breakfast in the evening if you choose.“

“Very enjoyable breakfast ❤️“

“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've had nothing but great experiences in both Greenville and Spartanburg, yesterday I had the burger for lunch, char grilled not a nasty flat top, fresh cut fries and excellent service, I've been a restaurant manager for a long time and currently the banquet captain across the street, I highly recommend“

“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.“

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

“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!!“

“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!!“

“Three of us are here on February 20,2026. Restaurant was clean inside and out. Employees were very friendly and especially Erica. We ordered three burgers,onion rings and cheese curds. Onion rings and cheese curds were very good . Hamburgers were very dry,bun’s bottom half was cold and the burger really had no flavor to it. . Not sure we will return.“

“A must, must visit if you are in the area. Just a slight detour off the interstate and well worth it to visit a historic hot dog diner. This establishment has been serving the locals since 1953 when the mills flourished and folks needed a quick hot and affordable meal.
I went for the 2 dog plate with all the toppings (mustard, onions, and chilli) then I added coleslaw just cuz that is how I like them. The crinkle cut fries are crispy and hot... Everything was so good! I got them to go.ao I could sit outside on the picnic tables with my puppy. I do feel I missed out on sitting inside with the locals and the friendly staff who are so down to earth I felt like family stopping in.“

“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!“

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

“Great food & better people!!“

“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.“

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

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

“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…“

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

“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“

“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++++“

“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!!!!!“

“After a long and stressful drive with no food in stomach, me and my friend stopped in to eat before we headed home. The three people working night of August 20th were so nice and friendly even though we unintentionally ended up being a bit difficult about how our eggs were cooked. Will definitely be returning in the future, thanks y'all :)“

“Everything was great. The only issue we had was the lady behind felt she could just jump in front of us so she and her party could order first because she was paying for all of them. Not the restaurants fault. They thought all of us were together. When they found out that was not the case. They apologized for the error. Again, it was not the workers fault. 100% the very rude lady and her party.“

“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!“

“I have had breakfast and lunch several times and the server a Miss Taryn was extremely courteous and considerate. The food was enjoyable and atmosphere pleasant. Miss Taryn checked on our satisfaction with the food and always had a pleasant smile. I ask for her when I come she has made the meal more enjoyable. I have referred her especially to my friends that may come to this location.“

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

“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 !!!!“

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

“Ashley is greatest bartender of all time. Its worth the trip to just come see her. But she really is an a*******“

“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!“

“Very nice waitstaff. Good.“

“Applebees is a go to favorite for a reason. Stopped there on a Friday night while traveling through SC. Immediately impressed. Greeted at the door, welcomed and seated almost immediately…even though they were pretty full. Our waitress was so nice. I had to take a brief work call, and she stepped away and waited patiently—so friendly and polite. Ordered drinks, which were excellent, the chicken taco appetizer—the slaw on them was delicious, and then a big steak. It was very fairly priced (maybe $24!) and cooked exactly as ordered. This Applebees did not disappoint!“

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