50 Best American Restaurants near Fountain Inn

“We had lunch at Sweet Catherine's today for the first time. For everyone who has already given this charming restaurant the highest rating, we have just one word: "ditto." As we drove back to Greenville, we were already anticipating our next visit.“

“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!“

“Great food, great service, great everything!!!“

“when you first walk in the door, you're greeted with the aroma of real smoked bbq. The atmosphere is simple, yet inviting. The sounds of the cleavers hitting the cutting board lets you know you're in the right place. The staff are very helpful and friendly. And the food. The BBQ is perfectly tender with the right amount of bark mixed in. I got the potato salad and baked beans, which were very flavorful. If you're looking for the best, look no further than here. Mr. Preston is doing it right.“

“This place still has the good onion rings! Not frozen, definitely hand made. The burgers are the classic diner burgers, delicious. Everything is nice and HOT, which is a rarity. I drive from NC for this diner. There are others closer, but them Rangs are a draw. If you remember how good the old school SC diners were in the 80/90's, these guys are still doing it!“

“😋I have eaten at this location many times for years. Like most places the service, food and experiences are up and down. It is definitely on the Up!! My sever/cook Dawn was Excellent!!!

“Love to hit this old school food & bar place. As a smoker, I enjoy that I can light up inside the place and indulge in an adult beverage. Reminds me of older, better days- but the place does not wreak of smoke.
The crowd is laid-back and welcoming with occasional live music in the small venue“

“If you've never been to Culver's before, it's a unique fast-food experience that's worth trying. Their burgers are cooked well done, the cheese curds remind me of a visit to a Wisconsin dairy, and the frozen custard is a great way to finish the meal.

The staff was genuinely friendly, and I tried their table service for the first time. After placing my order, I was able to enter where I was sitting on my phone, and they brought the food right to my table. It felt more like restaurant service than typical fast food. I'd definitely recommend giving Culver's a try if you haven't been before.“

“Amazing food! Very kind people work there! Delicious pizza and wings, the lunch special is a great deal and the whole family loved it! Will definitely be returning; so glad we found this place!“

“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“

“I tried Arizona Fare for lunch today for the first time, and I will definitely be back.

The restaurant itself feels like a bit of a throwback. There’s a square bar in the middle with tables and booths around the perimeter, and some of the furniture has definitely seen some years. My booth even had a tear in the seat. But seriously, don’t let any of that dissuade you, because the food was SO good.

I had the Sedona Salad with chicken, and everything tasted incredibly fresh. I was told the food is made fresh, never frozen, and you can absolutely tell. I eat salads with grilled chicken pretty regularly, and this was honestly the best chicken I can remember having on a salad.

The service was great, too. My server, who I’m guessing may also be the manager, was friendly, attentive, and clearly proud of the restaurant and the food they serve. And he should be.

This was one of those unexpected lunch finds that makes you wonder how you’ve never been there before. Arizona Fare has officially been added to my lunch rotation.“

“I absolutely love this place! The staff are the best ever, especially Kayla, Kitty and Joni who are so attentive and sweet with our baby that they’ve basically become family. The food is always perfectly prepared and comes out so fast, making this our favorite dinner spot in town. 🍝👶✨“

“We had a catered event and the food was amazing. The chicken was moist and tender, the prime rib was NOT overcooked. There were beautiful colors of carrots, amazing mashed potatoes, and cheese cake that was too die for. They were so good to us and I would highly recommend their catering services! Chef was a delight as well.“

“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!“

“had the buffett tonight for the first time and everything was fresh, warm, and delicious. the service was also great!“

“Every time we’ve been here, it’s never been short of fresh and delicious! I also love finding a restaurant with diet Dr Pepper because it’s the only sugar free soda I like. Quality ingredients with a quality taste.“

“I love Skins Hotdogs. Have eaten at this location many times… however this is the first time I visited the restroom (and my last). It is absolutely the worst restroom I’ve ever been in. Walls and floors are nasty, faucets and sink look like they’ve never seen cleaner. Definitely could use some extensive cleaning and a facelift.“

“Delicious food ! All Of it.“

“We ordered 2 hams for 2 different family events over the Thanksgiving holiday. The hams were excellent as always, and they were ready to go when they said they would be even though they were slammed!!! Great customer service and well run!!“
