“I just had the best experience at the Lancaster SC Biscuitville! The guy that took my order, Calvin, just brightened my day. The energy he has welcoming me and saying good morning was wonderful! I honestly thought it was a recording at first. His personality it not something you witness at most businesses. Hey Calvin, if you see this post, thank you for making my day happier! You deserve a raise and recognition! 👏“

“Love the freshly prepared & frozen casseroles, chocolate oatmeal cookies & strawberry tea“

“We have gone to Southhouse for years and will still. Everything has been great, however, yesterday afternoon, we had the poorest service ever. Waitresses need to know that they create public relations. Smile some and take time more. Usually such has been great, but not yesterday!“

“We eat there a lot. The food is excellent and the wait staff are are really great! The place is ALWAYS cold! Winter and Summer. We ask them to change it a little but by the time they do, you will be ready to leave!“

“A&P is one of a kind. The food is so much better than similar family style restaurants and the staff are so well trained and treat customers like f silly. It’s really a special place. Every time our son comes home from Clemson A&P is the first place he wants to go eat! It’s best in class!“

“Bailey was so very helpful and nice. The food was exceptional.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely Phenomenal! I had the pleasure of dining at OAK 1831 Kitchen & Bar, and I was beyond impressed with both the food quality and the overall experience. Every dish was prepared to perfection—flawlessly executed, beautifully presented, and absolutely delicious. A huge hats off to Chef Erica for crafting such an incredible menu and delivering outstanding flavors. The attention to detail in both taste and presentation truly stood out. Our server, Joseph, was exceptional, providing top-tier service with attentiveness and professionalism that made the evening even more enjoyable. The atmosphere was inviting, and the whole dining experience exceeded my expectations. Another big plus—plenty of parking, which made the visit even more convenient! If you’re looking for a restaurant that delivers high-quality food, excellent service, and a memorable dining experience, Oak 1831 is the place to be. I will definitely be back!“

“First time eating here and the food and peach cheesecake was great! Tried the messy pig and it was wonderful. Better bbq than others who specialize in it. My wife had the shrimp and grits and said it was the best she had. Service was great and the waitress was very attentive to detail. We will return.“

“The food tastes great and the atmosphere is so cozy!!! Only thing is I ordered the Hash Bowl with extra seasoning and over easy eggs. The eggs were more cooked than over easy, more like over hard and when i asked for extra seasoning, there was NO seasoning on my bowl :( also barely any goat cheese so sad
This is my second time ordering and the first time was perfect! Maybe someone new handled my order or they were too busy? But their food tastes great!! Would give them a try!“

“Went here for our anniversary last night and it was so nice! I had the duck salad and it was absolutely delicious. Everyone was so friendly, sweet, and genuine. Service was great. Can’t say enough great things 💛“

“I can’t say enough good things about Southern Palate Catering. We used their services for our wedding in April 2022. Most of the compliments we received from the wedding were about the food! We worked with Denise, the chef and owner of Southern Palate. She always got back to me promptly and was always willing to meet with me face to face anytime I needed during the planning process. My husband and I always dreamed of having Mexican food at our wedding. Denise already had an option on the catering menu for Mexican stations and it was just what we were looking for! They homemake everything, even the tortilla chips (which were amazing), and were able to accommodate my gluten allergy with anything I wanted. Denise made sure all of her employees knew I was gluten free and they served me and my husband the whole night so that we didn’t have to worry about taking the time to get our own food. They even packed us a to go box full of every food item at the wedding so that we were able to eat at our hotel after. They took all the stress off of us on our special day and I can’t thank them enough. I highly recommend using them for any event and I will definitely be using them for any catering needs in the future.“

“I moved recently and the food in my new city is bad. All I can think about is this restaurant. Everything is good here“

“What a great spot! Diverse/unique menu with delicious options, attentive service, lovely indoor/outdoor seating accommodations. We will definitely be back!“
