“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.“

“I just wanted to call out Jared who is a facilities management individual. I thought I had lost my Apple Watch and was very apparently not happy - he saw me and asked how my day was - and I said fine. He went one step further and said he could see something was wrong and could he help. I told him I lost my Apple Watch - he walked me through how to find it on my app and voila! It was ringing in my room on the floor! He was so sweet and patient and truly wanted me to have a good day! BRAVO JARED! Wish there were more people like you in the world who are so positive and patient and caring!“

“Went to visit Papa's Kitchen for the first time today! It was a cute little "hole in the wall" restaurant, which is something I absolutely LOVE! They had specials on a board featuring several options including a hot bar and many side choices. I chose the Sweet Heart Shrimp Wrap Special with Mac N Cheese and my Husband chose the Chilli Cheeseburger Special with Mac N Cheese. The food was DELICIOUS!!!! Also got the coffee which was so good as well (good coffee is so hard to find in restaurants!) We got red velvet cake to go which was also fabulous as well! We will for sure be back again!“

“I had breakfast at the Aiken location for the first time (10-11-22). The banana pancakes were good. The wait was short, and our server Aja was funny and nice. She was great!“

“Was in there a couple of weeks ago for late lunch. It was good. Grill person asked us how it was. Told him great. However, the server that was in duty raked him over the coals for talking to us. She did this in front of customers. Very rude and unprofessional. There was nothing wrong with the cook asking us about it. Cooked to perfection and well liked. Server was out of line“

I take my 93 year old Dad there twice a week and they never fail to make him feel good. Whitney runs a great fast food restaurant with Steve and Gene whipping out some good eats.“

“great food and service Love their Salt and Pepper shakers. I own all of that has come out since August 2024“

“I ordered for the first time today 3 chicken fingers ans fries at 12:14pm. By 12:34 pm I was still asking for the meal amd was finally told the chicken fingers needed to be floured! Finally at 12:40 or so they finally came. The cashier was upset because I asked a few times about them and so did she. 8 minutes to fry took almost and entire hour of a lunch break! I wanted to cancel but Im hungry..once I got them, they were hot and really good. no more chicken fingers for me-maybe the okra has shorter cook time!“

“LongHorn Steakhouse in Aiken never misses! The Parmesan Crusted Chicken is hands-down one of the best dishes I’ve ever had—perfectly seasoned, juicy, and full of flavor. I literally crave it weekly.

But it’s not just the food that makes this place a win—the customer service is top tier. From the moment you walk in, you’re treated like a valued guest. The staff is friendly, attentive, and always makes sure your experience is on point.

The atmosphere is relaxed, the drinks are strong, and the service is consistent. Whether you’re dining in or ordering online, they know how to deliver quality every single time. Highly recommend this location—Aiken, y’all got a gem right here!“

“Rosa is a terrific server!“

“We went on 9/2/23. Our server was Imaurie. She was very professional and our food came out in a timely manner and it was fresh and hot. She took our order for everything we wanted at one time. I was definitely impressed by that because I hate waiting and I am very impatient.The endless shrimp was amazing. I loved it. I give her 5 stars for being professional“

“The food is always so good. If one item doesn’t look as appetizing as usual, I simply get a different thing. I don’t understand weirdos who only get one order, every single time.The servers are always super friendly, even when they’re swamped. They get my food taken care of in a timely order every time. People complaining about having to “wait” for ingredients or their food, fail to realize that Diablos is a hot spot for both a college and a university. Get off their backs. They’re working hard to make sure you get your food.Lastly the atmosphere is a little bit of a downer. They’re so understaffed, they can keep it as clean and upkept as it could be. Night shift especially desperately needs more workers. The amount of times I’ve walked in and seen only two workers, with a line spanning all the way to the door is astounding. I always instantly turn around. I can wait till tomorrow for my burrito. No reason to make their night more difficult than it already is.

Dietary restrictions: They have food for everyone. And are more than willing to explain all ingredients in every product.“

“Great experience. On a VERY busy night, Asia impressed us with her amazing management skills and her hospitality! Despite being short-staffed, the food was hot and good and Asia kept everything on the floor running smoothly with a smile and genuine hospitality. We were impressed and will return!“

“Pura comida de calidad y me gusta ir mucho a lHop 😋😋♥️“
