The food is bursting with flavor! Every dish we’ve tried has been fantastic and we’re excited to work our way through the menu. Be patient with the service, as waitstaff can be busy. A must-visit for anyone who loves authentic, delicious Indian cuisine!”

“The Willcox is a local gem and wonderful place to stay! The atmosphere is charming, historic and moody, creating a relaxing and unique experience for any age. The premium suite was very comfortable, with plenty of thoughtful details, and they offer great accommodations for dogs—welcome bag and all! The customer service and waitstaff is excellent—attentive and friendly. The food is incredible, but the highlight was the Butterscotch Budino. It’s the best dessert I’ve ever had. (You have to try it, no matter how full you are.) Whether you’re looking for a staycation or passing through Aiken, don’t pass on The Willcox.”
