“First time tonight, attentive service, wonderful food. Hard to decide what to have, so many things on the menu looked amazing. Aaron made me a fabulous Cosmopolitan and my husband enjoyed the Old Fashioned. We will definitely be back!“

“Had the cheeseburger salad and it was huge. I would highly recommend. Well worth the money“

“I'm a lot simpler than most people it don't take a lot to please me it ain't the greatest but I've been to a lot worse it's nice and quiet and I can see it and eating peace and think The owner's a good guy blah blah “

“Excellent food and the friendliest staff“

“when i tell you i went in there to get a humble sandwich, i was NOT expecting to literally be shadow blasted to heaven by the first bite. the lady at the counter called me baby more times than i can count and when i tell you i felt LOVED. lord above this place got me dancing halfway through the sandwich it was like a broadway show up in my kitchen YALLLLL it was so good im still eating it rn but i had to stop just to talk about how GOOD it is“

“A midweek day off. Hiking and lunch. Both spontaneous.We found Orion's. It was quiet, but I bet this place gets busy with their outdoor seating area, both for the cocktail crowd and family gatherings.The hostess greeted us at the door, welcoming us inside.Her name is Dawn. I had to find it on the recpt. Otherwise, I would've had to quote Seger, "She was a black haired beauty with big dark eyes".I was looking for a cocktail to have with lunch and burdened her with wanting a light orange flavored, not Rum drink.Most bartenders might have met my request with an (acceptable) Proseco, but she boldly met my challenge and brought me a Tequila w Orange liqueur. It was fabulous. So much so, I purchased an expensive bottle of Tequila after lunch.Lunch was Lobster Mac n Chz and a Flounder sandwich, no bread, with crinkle cut fries, and I ordered a Greek salad. Fish was crispy, not greasy, fries were golden, and the salad had plenty of ingredients and feta.The lobster Mac was very acceptable at 19.99. I say that because it was served with elbows and yellow chz and what I thought might be 'topped with lobster'.Turns out there is lobster throughout, and while a white cheese and different pasta would elevate the dish. It would also elevate the price, and it was enjoyed the way it was.“

“Beat cornbread I have ever put in my mouth I will definitely be back. Can't wait to try there pork chops.“

“They have a great home cooking and Mediterranean type menu with lots of other options. The food is really good and the prices are reasonable. They are quick to answer the phone for pickup meals and it is really convenient to pickup at the drive thru if you want. I highly recommend this place instead of unhealthy fast food.“

“Nice, diner-style restaurant. The food was delicious and the service was great. We had the burger with tater tots, and the fish & chips. All were served hot and were very good. The fish was flaky and lightly breaded, the fries were the type with some kind of coating that makes them crispy (not my favorite type of fries). The burger was huge, cooked to order, and piping hot. Tater tots were standard variety. Good place for an American dinner and affordable prices. Recommended.“

“I highly recommend this restaurant. Wonderful food and staff is amazing. My friends and I go there all the time and have so much fun! Tina is very accommodating in making our dining experience wonderful. The bartenders and servers and the rest of the staff are very professional and friendly.“

“Today, I was suggested to try Stella's while I was here on a work trip. I always love to try local restaurants. This was the most incredible experience I've had yet. I started my experience with the bread basket and it didn't disappoint! The bread was perfectly grilled and the tomato butter was amazing. My go to meal is always shrimp and grits. Stella's shrimp and grits are the most wonderful ones I have ever had and that says a lot. The grits were incredibly creamy, the shrimp were cooked perfectly, the bacon gave an amazing smokey and crunch, and the tomato sauce was just the icing on the cake. You must save a piece of the bread and dip in the shrimp and grits. You'll kick yourself if you don't. I finished the meal with a creme brulee. It is my absolute favorite dessert. This restaurant will not disappoint.“

“I’m glad I decided to try First Watch. I usually eat at Eggs up or Waffle House. This was a pleasant experience. The service was perfect, and the food delicious. I will definitely be returning.“

“We were seated in the back of the restaurant, no one ever came to serve us. When we complained to the manager, she didn't s seem to care, and didn't really know who was supposed to serve us. We left!!

“Always love Arizona! Gotta have that spinach dip and the prime rib and onion soup! It was delicious! They have some seasonal cocktails too, so I tried the PSL espresso martini, and it was also delicious. It has just the perfect hint of pumpkin spice“

“It was like all the others I had been to go thru the drive thru. Get a number, wait, get all our stuff, sit in the parking lot and set up the kids, and drive home in silence. All you can hear is chewing, so I take that as a good thing. So I have been their 3 times at this new location. I think their still trying to get a handle on thing. I've had a dry cheeseburger and a juicy one. I am going to go back, so either which way I never had problems not getting my order right or anything like that. I give service a 4 as well cause their a little curt when that drop off the food 2 times. This may be the person never or hurry, still not as friendly as I was used to. But all in all, it's still great food and good milkshakes. Hope to be able to change this to 5 stars later, but we will see.“

“Really good ice cream for an affordable price. Was able to get ice cream for a family of 5 for less than $9 total. Recommend parking in the nearby gravel lot. Gets very busy at times but line moves pretty quickly

Parking: Downtown gets busy so parking close can be hard to find. Recommend using one of the gravel lots in the street behind

Kid-friendliness: Offer kid sized options for a cheaper price“

“BOGO burgers on Wednesdays! And the burgers are one of a kind! Fries were great too! excellent waiter too! Must try it if you haven't!“

“Can’t say enough good things about the yard house. We ate here yesterday 12/5/24 around 1145am and the food was delicious. We had a server that was attentive to our needs. We ordered the four cheese spinach dip for an appetizer and I had ordered the Korean ribeye for my meal. It was really good, especially the fires that come with it. I will definitely be back to enjoy some more yard house“

“Coming from the Northeast, it’s truly hard to find pizza that matches what I’m used to in the northeast. Frankie NY is truly like the Northeast pizza and I highly recommend them. Never had a bad pie and the service is very good. Thin crust, just the right amount of ingredients on the pizza makes this a top pizza place for me here in the upstate.“

“one of my favorite places to go eat! If we are working in the area I usually end up eating there! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Outstanding meal & service. Even though the crescent-loving crowd had gobbled them all up, the kitchen quickly responded and hot fresh honey-butter croissants were served! Only the bartender lady was less than top-shelf hospitality. Still a great experience. Steak-shrimp and Flounder-shrimp meals. Excellent salads with J Peters signature bacon/honey mustard dressing“

“My husband and I stopped by for brunch. EVERYTHING WAS GOOD! We will definitely be back when we are in town!!!“

“The best fried catfish I’ve ever had. Everyone there is so friendly. Anytime I’m in the area, I try to come eat here.“

“Best lil watering hole in the upstate!! A locals hidden secret that everybody knows about. Great staff, great service, clean and family friendly. PRIVATE place so be prepared for your eager 24 hr wait, but the wait is worth it!!! Come have your first drink on Pal!!! You'll love it!!!“

“August and Mike are AWESOME servers and Justin is an GREAT bartender!“

“Everything was AMAZING. The menu was so well put together, we had no idea what to get because we wanted it all! We got the beef carpaccio and the fried green tomatoes were to die for. The pot roast was so tender and the flavor was spectacular. I got the duck and wanted to melt. We love the Stella’s staff! Especially our server, Genevieve (ask for her when you go) & Julia and Anna as well! Thank you Stella’s & can’t wait to go again!!“

“This I hop on Woodruff rd was good. Food was good service good and it was alright. It has been consistent since 1990s. I can tell they have a new chef and manager but so far it's still good on Woodruff rd. Simpsonville horrible and it need a whole new staff . But Woodruff rd is doing good.“

“They do pork ribs RIGHT! Their sides are delicious and they have a great selection of bbq sauces each of which tastes great. My favorite is their mustard based sauce, it's packed with flavor.

They don't serve beef, it's pork only, so be prepared for that. I almost lowered the overall to 4 stars because of that, but it wouldn't be fair, because they chose a specific niche of BBQ, and chose to do that really well. They are excellent at what they do.

Pulled pork, is pulled pork, hard for me to favor one over another, so the highlight here is the ribs.

The staff were very friendly and helpful for first timers,

Worth the visit, try the ribs.“

“Best Wings I ever had and totally recommend to anyone 5 stars“

“Stopped by here for a late lunch. Ordered the spinach dip as an appetizer. It is always pretty good. Followed this up with the potato soup. A little too much bacon buts, but overall, a good choice for lunch. The Texas margarita was good as well. Our server was also attentive. Not a bad visit.“

“it just a beautiful place cozy friendly staff good food a relaxing place to eat and visit enjoy going there“

“My husband and I really enjoyed our dinner as well as the customer service tonight. Our waiter Chandler was absolutely amazing!!! Not only Chandler, but Mason was the best manager that I’ve ever seen in a restaurant! He was very attentive to our needs as well as our overall satisfaction!! He also gave us a lesson on steak cuts?
In a world filled with so much hate, it was so nice to be treated like we mattered/we were important! Thank you so much Chandler and Mason for an unforgettable experience!!! Best Longhorn ever!!!!!“

“tremendous food! I had the buffet! such variety! the staff was extremely friendly & brightened my day! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“The people here are wonderful. They know their product, and are attentive to their customers. It’s a sweet little place and very affordable if you’re craving a good old fashion chili dog - recipes for the chili and the hotdog are local!! Thank you - we will be back!“

“I love this place! The food is amazing, I don’t think I have tried anything I didn’t like. The employees are always smiling with a great attitude and will go above and beyond to make sure you get excited what you want. Definitely my go to place for any ham or turkey needs!“
