“We are new empty nesters and we took the time to plan a night away. The staff was incredibly accommodating and very friendly. Every step was next level posh. We were going to stay in a well-known resort in Asheville, but the prices were outrageous. The Willcox was very reasonable for a ‘special treat’. The room turndown and options to make it extra special was a very nice touch- down to the homemade chocolate chip cookies. I’m picky about food, and over the last 8 years dining at The Willcox, I’ve never been disappointed. Everything is fresh and at a perfect temperature. We will be back- 5 ⭐️ for sure!“

“The food at Legends was excellent. We were visiting Aiken from NJ and happened to find Legends and we are not sorry. While we were leaving Legends we had a medical emergency for one of our family members and Gahee was an angel on earth assisting us. We were blown away by her care, attention, and willingness to help. I cannot recommend Legends enough!“

“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!“

As always Phillip and his team do amazing work. The chef always accommodates my wife severe gluten sensitivity and Mia saw to it I ate like a king! Go check Brunch out and visit them anytime and often. An Aiken treasure!“

“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!“

“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 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!“

“We ate lunch here on 7/2/25. I have always been very pleased but yesterday we had very little to NO service. The hostess took our drink order and brought out right away. The waitress came without much delay. Our food came in a reasonable time. Then the waitress never came back. She walked by one time and my drink was very low. She looked and kept going. Never saw her again. Had to get the attention of someone else and hostess again brought my refill of drink. Another person brought check after we asked for it and took payment. I feel at the price you charge for a drink, I deserve at least one refill. Not happy at all.“

“We love the Pecan Waffles well done with lots of bacon covered in syrup. Staff is always so friendly!❤️“

“I never write reviews these days, but my wife and I have had great customer service and food experiences here the last several times we've gone. Service and food quality has gone down so much in the last several years since COVID, we're just very pleasantly surprised when things are consistently good these days. To the two young guys we often see behind the counter, thanks for caring, you're awesome!“

“I had a really pleasant experience at Applebee's! The staff was friendly and attentive, making sure everything was just right throughout the meal. The food came out hot, fresh, and full of flavor - exactly what I was hoping for. The atmosphere was relaxed and comfortable, perfect for enjoying a nice meal out. It's always great when a casual dining spot like this delivers both great service and good food. I'll definitely be visiting again!“

“Rosa is a terrific server!“
