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

“Excellent food and the friendliest staff“

“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!“

“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.“

“😋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!!! She did her job very well (cooking and serving and conversation). So well that I had to double my order for a to-go serving of the same (Cheesesteak Melt Hashbrown Bowl and Sweet Tea). Thank you Waffle House and Dawn!!!“

“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.

The waffles are delicious and so are the specials - we love to see what they’re going to be each month! 10/10 recommend.“

“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“

“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“

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

“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.“

“First time visiting and I can tell you it won't be my last. Food was excellent and the service was great. The lobster Alfredo was wonderful and my wife's ribs were good as well. Also enjoyed their calamari. My wife had lunch here with friends on Tuesday and asked to eat here on our anniversary. I can see why.“

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

“This IHOP location never misses! The food was hot and tasted amazing. The service provided by Cat was stellar and the manager, Kat, stopped by the table to make sure everything was to our satisfaction. Unlike our last visit to another location the kids asked when we could come back before they finished eating. A wonderful dining experience with the kids.“

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

“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 as usual! We’ve been coming here for many years, and the food is always great! And the kids love the ice cream!“

“We loved it! My daughter had the outlaw ribeye. I had the 6oz filet. Both were cooked to perfection! The shrimp & cherry pepper appetizer was delicious. Best Moscow Mule I think I have ever tasted! Our server was awesome! We will go back again!“
