“Passing through town and had to check this place out especially for the new pinball machine “Jaws”. The BLT I had with their in house made bread was fantastic along with a wonderful beer selection. They also have many craft can beers for purchase, wish I had taken the time to check them out. Looking forward to sporting my t-shirt I purchased.“

“We ordered take out tonight and let me just say it was delicious. The portions were large and cooked to perfection. The veggies were fresh and although some people do not like the veggies cut so large, I think they are perfect. Egg rolls were scrumptious and large . We had soup which was still piping hot when arriving home, house fried rice was perfection. Plenty of leftovers. Love, love, love .“

“We love the sandwiches, vegan mac and cheese, and, oh my goodness, the cake!!! Best vegan chicken sandwich and cake I have ever had! The batter on the “chicken” is amazing! Every time we go there, I cannot wait to go back! They are so friendly as well and make you feel valued as a customer.“

“A friend and I have regular dinner dates at Terra and we always have a great time! Tonight we had the shishito peppers, Chinese pork belly, snapper and the braised lamb pappardelle followed by the olive oil cake with sweet cream eggplant ice cream. We both agreed it was one of our top meals over the past several years at Terra and cannot wait until our next date! Quality, consistency and service are always top notch, and the one time we tried another restaurant for our date night we totally regretted it and went right back to Terra for our next meetup. Thank you Terra for being so reliable and delivering some of the best bites in the area, you are our gem!“

“Great food and great service!“

“My husband and I had such a wonderful time dining at The Melting Pot! The entire experience was fantastic, and our server, Nicole, was absolutely amazing, so sweet and attentive.

I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a unique and memorable dining experience. It’s an absolute must!“

“My sister and I stopped in for lunch. We had a short wait to get a table, but there were a few places to sit while you wait. Our waitress was really nice. She gave excellent service. Our food was prepared nicely and was very good. We both enjoyed a Mimosa. Although I think there could gave been a little more alcohol in it, it still tasted good. We will definitely go again and try some of the other delicious looking items on their menu.“

“What! As a patron way back in the Food Lion strip mall days, this was hands down the best buffet in town, & sad when they closed. I watched when they broke ground on this new location. I couldn't be the first to enjoy since now I have an autistic child of habit, new isn't easy for us. Using my Super Mama powers, we went for lunch on his birthday in January. I do not have enough room on here to describe the ambiance, cleanliness, kindness, etc... Lucas & I will NOT EVER eat out anywhere else, not even fast food joints kids are attracted to. You get your own hibachi chef, sushi buffet with chef, "traditional" American foods, full salad bar, bars full of Chinese & Chinese-American foods, soups, desserts, superior service, a really undescribable without experiencing for yourself just daily lunch. So much deliciousness to even attempt to enjoy in a 2-hour visit for the price of chicken nuggets, fries, drink, & shake at fast food joints! If the lunch is mind (gut) blowing, supper must be out of this world! Soon. I have to judge many places by staff because of my son, who not only rolled out the red carpet for him/us, but innumerable amounts of other-abled folks, which is important to me. I have traveled & eaten at many places. I now have built-in ADA EYE. My eyes have never, ever, laid eyes on wait staff, or owners, who help a blind person or someone in a wheelchair get tabled and then helped with food selections, plating, and seated to enjoy. Care, respect, not enough words for this either. I have heard the owners waited 15+ years, raising $1,000,000 to create a dream for themselves and their patrons. Where in Columbia, Lexington, Orangeburg, Sumter, Charlotte, Augusta, Greenville, Charleston, Atlanta, and so on, can you get the same? Send me a Gmail & we will talk! Prove me wrong, I will buy your supper & eat a plate of octupi!“

“Just left on a Saturday night. The place was busy. The young man waiting on us was awesome looked like he was a cast member from the jersey shore. Very personable. The food was great another great meal. Until next time.“

“Dined here last night for the first time and had a wonderful time and meal. The staff were all very helpful and attentive. The food was delicious. Our party enjoyed both sushi and hot entrees. The eggplant dish was very flavorful and the sushi was fresh and tasty.“

“Good food, Great atmosphere,friendly staff ,wait time for food was a bit longer than I would've liked but all in all it was a great experience.“

“Great breakfast but bring back the country ham.“

“Always liked going to Flight deck. This time ordered cordon Bleu and was disappointed. It was four cut up pieces and looked like it was deep fried and for to long..did not enjoy it at all have gotten it there before and enjoyed it. Got a piece of raspberry lemon cheesecake..more cake than cheese will try different choices next time“

“We love Mai Thai. We have been going there for years. Everything is fresh. One of the best restaurants in the area. The wait staff ROCK!!!!“

“Smoothie king in Lexington always has the best staff. They help me find exactly what I need! I am currently trying to get more muscle and they recommend the “gladiator” which has 45g of protein!! It’s definitely helped in my muscle building journey!“

“The Lobster Masala was delicious and my top favorite! The Tandoori Mixed Grill was good along with the Naan bread! Indian tea was warm and soothing. I'll be back to try other foods in the near future.“

“We had the pleasure of stopping at The Root Cellar in Batesburg for lunch today, and wow—what an incredible experience! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, setting the stage for what turned out to be an outstanding meal. My wife ordered the grilled pork chops with three vegetables, while I went with a classic hamburger and fries. Every bite was packed with flavor, and the food arrived hot and fresh with barely any wait time. The attention to detail in both the preparation and presentation was evident. Our server, Janice, was an absolute delight—greeted us with a smile and was full of great recommendations to help us choose the perfect meal. Her friendly, attentive service made the experience even better. If you’re anywhere near Batesburg, The Root Cellar is a must-visit. Outstanding food, top-notch service, and a welcoming atmosphere—highly recommended!“

“This is my second time. Had the Birria quesadilla and tacos. They are amazing. The first time I had a burrito. It was so good!“

“Neither of our dinners were served as described in the menu. I strongly suspect the waitress couldn't read as we are in the habit of pointing to our selection when ordering and she didn't look down or write anything. This will be our last time here. Such a shame. Used to be great.“

“We had a wonderful experience. There were 12 in our party 7 which were children. We celebrated our soldiers graduation from basic training. Our waiter was on top of things and very personable. The food was excellent and ambience great. We were so happy to have a place where there was a variety of food options. Thank you for making our special lunch together so memorable.“

“We have been regularly coming here for years, always consistently good food. Today I had my usual nacho basket, for some reason the jalapeños are now dumped on top of the chips, I suppose for presentation. problem is that the juice makes the chips soggy. this might seem petty but there's nothing worse than soggy chips. also the cheese sauce was brown and clumpy, like it was old. this was my first bad meal. please go back to the peppers in a cup and a nice fresh creamy cheese sauce. thanks!“

“Went to lunch with my colleagues and we all had really good food! Mine was a zesty jalapeño chicken wrap with seasoned French fries. It was delicious and the wait wasn’t too long. Very nice staff, clean bathrooms, fun atmosphere. I would come back!“

“Overall good experience. Not the cleanest place in the world, but it had great food and great employees that were very nice. The booths are kind of tight together, almost got stuck and I’m a stick (light weight) though I am 6’. We had 4 quesadillas and they were all good!“

“They're amazing. I had some complications with my order and they made sure that I was helped. They're very accommodating, sweet and kind. Amazing customer service. My food was still hot and it was delivered. Thank you all so much.“

“Kudos to Taryn (spelling) for giving us outstanding service today! If you haven’t had her as your server, you should request her!“
