“New Years Eve 2024, came into this Jersey Mike's for my late birthday dinner. Ashley the sweet lady behind the counter helping us, was patience and kind. We have a large family and it can be difficult to get everyone ordered. She not only took time to answer our questions but she also gave advice. Great experience.. would definitely recommend. Not to mention the food was GREAT!!“

“This five guys has completely transformed in the past year from what used to be a lousy experience. The food is now better than ever and the customer service has become outstanding. There is an employee there named Wyatt that is a remarkable example of this.“

“My wish is for you’ll to come to Myrtle Beach! The Carolina Forest area down towards International Drive would be a great place for a restaurant 😁 but really, just come to MB!“

“Terri was our waitress and she did a great job! Food was delicious, too.“

“I eat here a lot and hate to see the negative review. My parents always said that if you don't have something nice to day dont day it. With that, I have always had an enjoyable experience here. The staff is always kind and helpful. I often use the mobile app to save on any wait, especially if you are going through the drive through. But, you can actually order through the app, do carry out, and its always faster. Thanks for being such a great place to eat.“

“The food was excellent and the staff was very friendly. I also have to say the customer service was superb! I really appreciate how the manager checked in to make sure we had a great experience. I will definitely come again and recommend this location to others!“

“Just had the cauliflower sandwich—really great, and I’m not even a vegetarian! Also, the staff member Earl was very helpful and kind.“

“Recently had their spanakopita, so delicious and flavorful! I am extremely happy to have found some authentic Greek cuisine here! 🧡“

“All was well. But everything seemed a bit too salty. And it's not the first time, nor the same location. Salt can always be added, but not extracted. Please chill out with the salty fries etc. Even the sandwich and chicken fingers.. Too much guys.“

“Quality service, product, and staff . I would highly recommend .“

“Very very Good, my boyfriend and I had the chorizo and chicken empanadas with the spicy chimichurri sauce. Everything was delicious and the empanadas were soft and flaky. 10/10 would recommend.“

“Great service and clean.“

“A small but quality Chick-fil-A on The Citadel campus. This one is located within The Citadel Canteen building beside Mark Clark Hall. No, you do not have to be a cadet to go eat there as it is open to the public. The dining area is always clean, and the food always comes out great. They are usually busy serving cadets, but the line is always served quickly. Overall, it's a great little fast food restaurant.

Parking: Free parking lot just behind the building.“

“Delicious fresh food the way I want it! Highly recommended!“

“I had a wonderful experience at my recent visit! I placed a curbside order and approximately 13 minutes later I received my order. But after about 10 minutes of waiting I received a call from Drew apologizing for my wait and letting me know my order would be out shortly. When Drew brought out my order he was very kind and again apologized for the wait, which was not too bad in my opinion. Then later when I opened my bag, I saw that a free cookie was placed inside! Best customer service I've received in a while!“

“Culver's is a great food and beverage destination. Food is at the level you would expect at a sit down restaurant, yet the prices are less than McDonald's. This particular location seems to have issues with staffing, undoubtedly due to there being so many employers in the area competing over the same labor pool. Cleanliness of the space and speed of getting your order is not like what you would expect from a Culver's, but this is one of the best fast food options at Tanger.“

“The customer service provided by Russell and his team was phenomenal. I placed a large online order for a work function and chose for it to be delivered. Russ called me as the Uber Eats Direct system was putting a 3 hour timeline on it but he was able to do the order right then. I asked him to prepare it and I would either come get it myself or see if Uber Eats would update the system. Since the system did not update and would still wait the 2.5 hours to deliver, I went to pick it up myself. When i returned to the hotel to divvy out the order, we realized a sandwich was missing. I called the store to ask them prepare the missing sandwich as I was on my way to pick it up- they asked what hotel and Russ delivered it personally. Minus the UberEats merchant system issues, I appreciate the excellent customer service that Russ and the team provided me. Wonderful!“

“Chick-fil-A has a winning recipe - great food, friendly young people servers, and great locations.
You can choose anything in the menu - I had a spicy chicken sandwhich, my partner the chicken strips - and you get freshly prepared food - even the potato fries are warm and not soggy or oily.
Staff members are constantly cleaning, keeping the inside sparkling.
Smaller children have a big "play pen" whivh they enjoy.“

“ok folks, they need help. You want a job see them. they have been overwhelmed with business and no applicants.“

“We come here to scratch the hotdog itch! It’s never taking 10 minutes food. Usually closer to five. Great local spot.“

“What? Did I just rate a Mickey D’s higher than the Chick Fil-As in the area? Yes I did. I pulled in after ditching the drive-thru line next door and observing cars were actually moving in the burger line.
Fast, friendly service (on par w/ the neighboring restaurant), accurate, and fresh hot food. Shockingly good fast food.
It was the beginning of the lunch rush (11:45 am): your results may vary.“

“Yall, I drive out of my way just to come to this subway. The employees are so sweet and nice at this location when I come and they always make my sandwich perfectly. Not too skimpy on the ingredients. Also it’s always SPOTLESS, both in the dining area and behind the counter. I always leave them a tip and YALL SHOULD TOO OKAY!“

“The food was great and atmosphere clean. Great place for a date or family meal.“

“This place is not much to look at. But. The shrimp Po boy sub (add cheese) is killer. I know this is a chain. Ive only been to Charleston twice, but after the 1st time I couldn't stop thinking about this sammich. Just had it again and once more: 10/10. Friends eating other menu items here were less enthusiastic, but everyone loved this po boy. Fries were good too.“

“I’ve been coming to this pizza place almost every week, and it never disappoints. The restaurant is always very clean, the staff is super friendly, and the price for the amount of food and toppings you get is more than reasonable. They’ve got a huge variety of toppings, everything is fresh, and the quality of each pizza is spot on. Plus, the food comes out fairly quickly.

This one here is an 11-inch MOD Pizza that I built myself with a ton of toppings, and it only cost $12. The best part is you can add as many toppings as you want for the same price, which is a great deal for the amount of food and flavor you get. I recommend going here if you love good pizza!“

“Dec 2025 update--- Quan reached out to me and said he's currently at the Lowe's Home Improvement Mount Pleasant there! Offering brisket burgers, brisket over yellow rice, brisket sandwiches, and pulled pork 💪🏻

Jan 2025 ----
The owner/chef shared that he is open at this location on Mondays through Saturdays from 9am to 4pm unless it rains or snows. Chill guy. Under 15min wait time for freshly grilled food.

Got the brisket cheesesteak, excited to try the brisket burger next time! He used Amoroso cheesesteak rolls which were soft and thick enough to prevent a soggy sandwich enveloped in foil. Good amount of brisket which was so tender! Unlike the Charley's Cheesesteaks, Quan's cheesteaks were not soggy nor runny with juices and were not a mess to eat on the go.“

“The employees are amazing. I go there and it's like going to Waffle House. They know your usual. I give them a 10 🌟 RATING. The ladies that work there are fabulous & Fantastic Plus they are all generous and kind. Diana is 1 of th3 best employees there. She is on top of her game when I walk through the door“

“My son and I visited on 4/16 just before closing time. I ordered a chicken with extra chicken and he got a chicken sandwich. He tried to use a coupon but it was from Ohio. Special thanks to the GM for comping the sandwich! We would have paid for it but that was nice of her. The dining room was clean and the cashier was friendly. And of course the food was delicious! Keep up the good work. 😎“

“I had excellent service on a very buzy day...took a bit longer than i had expected but my Giant #13 on white; Mike's Way..was perfect and delicious. ..made my day.“

“Food was ok and overpriced....but I suspect that is not anything the individuals who work at this store can control. This review is for the kind people who were working today, Thanksgiving. I appreciate the smiles and the kindness today. We ordered two meals and they were made quick and correct. I know what it's like to work on a holiday, so I appreciate the effort they made. I wish everyone that had to work today very happy Thanksgiving ❤️“

“Always great service and good food at the Arby’s in Village Square on Sam Rittenberg Blvd. Staff is polite and courteous, orders are correct and the dining room is clean! This is one of my most favorite area fast food restaurants.“

“We stopped by at 9:00pm. This was hands down the best Taco Bell we’ve been to in decades. It reminded why I liked it in the first place. My bean burrito was fresh hot and I forgot it came with onions. My beef taco was perfectly made with fresh lettuce and not dried out cheese. My family loved what they got! Customer service was super polite and friendly! We live in West Ashley near main rd and we will travel to this location only for now on!!!“

“Absolutely best Italian combo sandwich ever! The ciabatta is out of this world. Crispy and fresh. You have to try this one!“

“Lauryn is an absolute joy! You can tell she takes her job seriously. She was constantly checking up on everyone offering to grab them anything they could need. She was sweeping, wiping down tables and chairs, attending to customers, and helping out the other employees. She was just so sweet and I hope you guys keep her around. Lauryn, if you’re reading this, thank you so much for making my time at chick-fil-a enjoyable. You remind me so much of my aunt, even down to the looks, who I just lost this year. I also wanted to thank you for giving me that glimpse of somebody I dearly miss. Thank you! ❤️“

“A big shout out to the four ladies behind the counter, who helped me on a hot steamy day. My grandson craved a cheesesteak after surgery at children’s hospital. He wasn’t able to eat the first one so I went back three days later to the same shop, and these same ladies gave me yet another cheese steak on the house! Love you guys we are coming back!“

“I don't think I've ever had a bad order in 5 years from this place. Probably like 50 times I've been there. The people saying they can't communicate need to realize some people don't speak English that well and give people some grace. I think they actually did mess up my order one time but at least the food was hot and tasty. This McDonald's is consistent and has fresh food. I see the same people running the front a lot and they must know how to build a good team because this is a great food spot.“

“What made me want to get on here and give a great review is a employee name Kareem I believe it was he was extremely nice, patient and just have a great attitude I just got off the road from the keys and still got 2 hours hungry and he put a smile on my face haven’t even gotten the food yet waiting for fresh fries but I had to give a great comment about this employee“

“Obviously it's fast food so I'm not saying the food was the best food I've ever had in my life, but for fast food it was great! I bought food for my family of 4 and we were all satisfied and it was under $30. My burger was great, the kids chicken strips looked amazing and our sides were good too. The biggest thing was, I gave a somewhat large and specific order and didn't have to repeat myself even once and they got EVERYTHING right. Not one item was incorrect or missing! And it was extremely fast! I didn't have to wait! Best cookout experience ever!“

“the staff at Jersey Mike's is the best! always friendly and covid safe. THANK YOU!😁“
