15 Best American Restaurants near Fair Play

“The food is excellent and the staff is simply the best around anywhere. Our favorite place to dine out!“

“What started as a quick stop to grab a few desserts turned into one of the best date nights we’ve had in a long time. We didn’t even plan on eating dinner at 211, but once we walked in, we decided to stay — and wow, are we glad we did. From start to finish, everything was incredible. The service was top-notch, warm, and attentive without being overbearing. Our waitress was amazing, genuinely kind, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience feel special. The owner was there personally greeting and talking with guests, which says so much about the pride and care that goes into this place. The food was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared — honestly one of the best meals we’ve had in a long time. Every bite felt thoughtful and intentional. 211 completely exceeded our expectations, and what was supposed to be a quick stop turned into a memorable night out. We’ll definitely be making this a regular date-night spot. Highly recommend — don’t sleep on this place!“

“Gumlog Brewery has been such a fun addition to downtown Lavonia. Even though we don’t drink, I love their wine slushes and their pretzels with cheese dip — so good! They’ve brought such a great energy to downtown with evening events and a fun atmosphere for the community. It’s been really nice to see our town have more places to gather and enjoy time together.“

“My fiance and I stopped in last night for a quick bite and a little country music bingo. We ended up leaving having one of the most fun nights I can remember. The atmosphere is so friendly and welcoming, from the staff to the customers. We were only expecting to stay an hour but ended up staying most of the night. yall treated and made us feel like we'd been coming there forever. im sad we're leaving for our next contract but if we ever come through this area again, we will absolutely be back- i just wish we'd found yall sooner! Thank you for the yummy food, the wonderful southern hospitality, the endless laughs and amazing little memory we got to make on one of our last nights here!!! Tyler, I wish you and your crew much success, you have a great little spot and amazing people there!!! ❤️👌“

“Love Tiily’s! Service & food are always great! I love the variety of the menu & weekly specials!“

“I love places like this. It's kinda out of the way, old fashioned but solid. Great service. Hot food. Everything was cooked properly. We had LG flounder plate, grilled ckn plate. water. We both thought the proteins were cooked just fine. We both would prefer more seasoning on the protein. I like their Brunswick stew. It's unlike any i ever had, but so what. It's a thing that's supposed to fit your cook's style imho. I've never had it the same way in diff towns. Anyway we'll still come back because it was all good. Thanks.“

“My first time eating there man there Fried Chicken is awesome and everything else look good to they got all kinds of stuff and Marie Westbrook is a super nice person and good cook there.i will be back.“

“Couple of days ago we went to get our stuff out. We were tired driving from nc to sc but soon as we got there everything changed . Mr. Paul greeted us with so much respect, understanding. Answered all of our questions, helped us. While waiting another costumer showed up. He was greeted with respect also. Mr. Paul took care of us as other workers from this storage didn’t , especially when you call and they pretty much hang up on you while pretending to answer your question. Mr. Paul is a pro , if I could I would leave Tenn stars for him. He’s so respectful , helpful, cheerful and so nice. Not only as a worker but as a human . Thank you Mr. Paul for the great experience, understanding and help . Because of you we know we made the right choice getting this storage units . Yall need to promote this guy ! He’s the BEST ! Overall the storages are clean , spacious and climatized .“

“Chili dogs was great slaw dogs was great chili cheese tater tots really good whish I would got to try the burger but the lady said they were sold out but food for dollar it was good maybe next time I can try more it was close to there closing time so all we was able to get was hotdogs and chicken although I would have had 4 chili dogs but they were running low“

“I absolutely love coming to the cafe! They all make you feel like family ♥️ huge shout out to Jennifer for being the BEST waitress and Kristen for never disappointing! You guys are the best!!“

“We enjoy this restaurant although it's not always consistent. The last night we visited, we had a waitress that had a great attitude but very little knowledge about the menu. However, attitudes make up for a lot. However, It's disappointing that this JP is so different than the one in Anderson, South Carolina. Over the two. I prefer the one in Anderson. (And I do wish they would clean the glass doors as you walk in). I know it seems picky but walking in a door that is dirty sets the feel for the rest of the restaurant. I will return, as the food was good.“

“The workers are very kind food very good prices are not very high“

“I had to seat myself X5 people came in after I did and ordered my food BTW. They received their food prior to mine. I asked the waitress about my food. She then gave my food 20mins later. Everything was COLD! grits w/lumps cold, bacon cold, cheese eggs cold, the toast was old/cold! I spoke with the waitress and left NO TIP! WORST W/H EVER!!!“

“My husband and I love eating here after we leave the lake! It's the best place! Friendly people and great customer service! Can't say enough good things! Definitely one of our favorite places to go!“

“Food is really good...but the customer service isn't up to par in my opinion 1)FOOD gets a 4/5 rating 2)CUSTOMER SERVICE gets a 3/5 rating“
