Restaurants in Seneca

“Great food, beverages and service. Outdoor seating was perfect for our family.”

“My friends who live in Seneca took me here and we got the Taste of Seoul meal. The food was excellent, the service was great, the atmosphere was very relaxed and comfortable. I really loved the Beef Bulgogi, the JapChai noodles, the Banchan, and the Pork Mandu dumplings. The sauces that came with the meal were also excellent. It was nice to have people with me who knew what each thing was, but the menu had many explanations with pictures as well. I would go there again and again if I lived in the area.”

“Great service and food . Coffee cup always full ! Omelette’s great , portions beat others similar pricing in area … know how to cook grits!”

“Great food served by kind people. Love this place!”

“We eat here typically for lunch every other week and it’s always consistently delicious, fast and affordable. Stopped by for dinner tonight and again hot, delicious and fast cost was as expected for 2 meals and 2 sodas. The staff are always so kind and attentive. If you’re looking for family friendly their brightly colored dining room makes for a fun dining experience. I highly encourage everyone to try them out.”

“Always a nice meal here. Our server Hali was very attentive and helpful. We skipped apps, and our salads were fresh and tasty. My 7oz filet was cooked perfectly (blue, the way I like it, and few restaurants get it right). The risotto was creamy and the broccoli rabe was nicely seasoned and not over cooked. The Cab Franc paired perfectly with my entree. My partner got the swordfish that was also perfectly cooked and well seasoned. The chips and guacamole really didn’t add anything to the dish, however, but it was fine. The dry Riesling was a nice pairing with this. We were seated not too far from the bar area. We forgot about Jazz on the Ally Thursday nights so it was packed and the bar area started to become very loud. Unfortunately there are quite a few privileged people in this area that feel being publicly drunk and obnoxiously loud is acceptable, even in a nicer restaurant. This isn’t the restaurants’ fault but it certainly impacts the quality of the atmosphere. Even Hali offered us a free dessert to make up for the interruption it caused, but we paid for our desserts anyway. We did suggest that there be automatic sliding doors fitted so that the noise could be contained in the bar area leaving the diners to enjoy their meals. Our desserts were also delightful. We had the banana brûlée and strawberry brûlée. Overall it was a very nice meal with very good service (which is hard to come by in this area).”

“My dad and I decided to try this place out and we were not disappointed! The food was amazing, the drinks were good, and we were in and out in about 30 minutes. I can’t wait to go back!!!”

“Maybe the best Italian food I have ever eaten! Try the red pepper roasted calamari - spaghetti with alla vodka sauce & lump crab meat - chicken parmesan - lobster bisque 😋”

“Best Old Fashion ever! Friendly staff!”

“I think that I have eaten at most of the Mexican restaurants in the area and I can say hands down, this place serves the best chicken fajitas and it is not even close. From the outside this place does not stand out enough and that concerns me. Food is just outstanding, but they need more visibiity”

“The grown up grilled cheese with pork belly tasted like an angel descended from heaven and blessed my tongue. My wife's wings were also delicious. The music? Based. trivia, dancing, and live music on occasion. Go check them out and you won't be sorry you did.”

“The best. The food never misses ever and the staff treats you like family.”

“This is my all time favorite coffee place! The drinks and the food are absolutely delicious! My all time favorite drink is the Cinnamon Snow Cap😍 The staff are always so friendly and welcoming. Plus it's a great place to sit and chat with friends. Can not recommend this place enough!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Brews has wonderful atmosphere! Patio out back is great when the weather is nice. Staff is always friendly and helpful! With 20 taps, I always find a dark beer that I like, even porters and stouts in the summer! Great pizza and beer for $10 on Friday and Saturday nights!

Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly with games up front.”

“We LOVE Little Pigs BBQ!! The meat is delicious, tender & juicy! The sides are always great too, especially the fries! We’ve ordered meat in bulk for parties many times over the years and our guests always rave over how good the meat, sauces & sides are!! Little Pigs will always be our favorite BBQ restaurant!”

“The specials are amazing, and the regular menu always has something for everyone. Mayberry’s in Seneca has a friendly relaxed atmosphere, the staff is incredible, very accommodating. The pies are great too. You won’t be disappointed here.”

“Great service and food . Coffee cup always full ! Omelette’s great , portions beat others similar pricing in area … know how to cook grits!”

“The Fresh mushroom chicken was absolutely the best I have ever had!! Thank you Chinese wok!!! I will absolutely take the extra hour+ drive there for your delicious meals! Thank you!!!”

“My fiance and I stopped in last night for a quick bite and a little country music bingo. We ended up leaving having one of the most fun nights I can remember. The atmosphere is so friendly and welcoming, from the staff to the customers. We were only expecting to stay an hour but ended up staying most of the night. yall treated and made us feel like we'd been coming there forever. im sad we're leaving for our next contract but if we ever come through this area again, we will absolutely be back- i just wish we'd found yall sooner! Thank you for the yummy food, the wonderful southern hospitality, the endless laughs and amazing little memory we got to make on one of our last nights here!!! Tyler, I wish you and your crew much success, you have a great little spot and amazing people there!!! ❤️👌”

“Tree Nut and Soy Allergy. Cardamom Bakery in downtown Seneca made the most delicious and beautiful Carrot cake with Cream Cheese icing, (daughter’s favorite) that was both tree nut and soy free. Samantha at Bakery was fabulous, working with our special request, over phone and email. Can’t wait to try other options in the future. The bakery itself is adorable and definitely worth a visit.”

“We ordered burgers for the first time and they were AMAZING. Cooked perfectly with all the fixings and complemented by the perfect bun. Great service and super nice staff”

“I just tried their new restaurant in Six Mile and they are awesome. If you haven't been there, a definite must try.”

“Great food. Fast service and friendly staff!”

“Great place to chill and meet up with friends! The selection of beer and wine is great! The owners and staff are top notch! 😎”

“went june 17th at 630. The food was good. The staff, girls at order desk and server, were rude. They chose to play Big Block jinga with a male patron and stay on their phones instead of doing anything else. after several games of blocks slamming on the table and floor right behind us we asked them to please stop. the male said f' them. They stopped for a while but then started again and they found this funny. These were employees, not patrons. when my friend asked the server why didnt anyone ask if we needed anything or at least ask if everything was okay, her reply was "they weren't that kind of restaurant". this was after WE had to push 2 tables together, wipe the water from the rain off the tables and seats while the employees watched. And after we had spent over $200. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY!!! I am not a "Karen " i just expect decent service for my money!!!!”

“Get the street 🌽!!!! Best around!!!”

“the Chinese food was excellent and would get the tacos again”

“Alazan Taco Truck is my crews favorite truck around the lake. Great food, the Mexican Picadilla is so good!”

“We held a gathering at The Lighthouse Event Center. I can not speak highly enough about the experience. Chad was amazing and made the whole process so easy and simple. The food was simply delicious. The servers for our event were pleasant and helpful. Everyone was so kind and gracious - especially about making special arrangements for out attendees with unique medical needs. They were the BEST!”

“Stopped in for lunch at Tipsy Taco with my business partner before filming an episode of The American Dream TV – Upstate South Carolina. The service was fantastic! The staff was friendly, efficient, and made sure we were taken care of quickly, knowing we were on a tight schedule. Great food, great energy—definitely a spot we’ll return to!”

“This is by far the best baker and bakery in Seneca, SC. Tina is absolutely delightful and a pleasure to do business with. She went above and beyond which is seldom seen today. You will not be disappointed whether you are ordering a sweet pie; dessert or quiche. All of their delectables are to die for! A hidden gem!”

“Best Mexican food I have had in a long time. No other Mexican can ever beat Monte Alban Great Service as well. And another plus, it is close to my house!!!”

“Delicious food super fast and great price! Great customer service”

“We are visiting the area for a wedding and sadly live almost 11 hours from here so are unable to be a regular patron. I don’t do reviews often but I just had to review this place. This was by far the best Mexican food I have had hands down anywhere. There was no doubt that the food and cocktails contained the freshest, not from a jar ingredients. The staff was quick but not pushy and friendly. Our meals were HUGE and I couldn’t believe how reasonable the prices were - I would pay more for less at home in PA. We couldn’t be more pleased with our visit. Great job to all!”

“They have the best food ever! My family loves it. Food and all employees are awesome. Good portions at a good price. 😍”

“We love Joe's. The main dishes are huge, and they offer an option to share! We are still working our way through the menu, and we often frequent the buffet. We did have to wait one evening, but it was a fluke, and the food was still excellent. Highly recommend.”

“The absolute best Waffle House I’ve ever been to. Wonderful, friendly staff, clean restaurant, and fast service. The food was excellent; I sat at the bar and watched the staff work as a team, like a well oiled machine. It’s truly rare in today’s time to see a team like the one I witnessed this morning. 10/10 recommend.”

“They greeted me upon walking in! It's always SO much food, but it's prepared (and served) in a timely manner! It was a nice day, so I sat outside, ate, & read my book.”

“First time eating there this past weekend and the food was good,service also. Very friendly staff. We will definitely go back.”

“I went here after a stressful day. Abby was at the register and she could just tell. Within minutes of her positive, kind, and empathetic demeanor, she surpassed customer service and went into the kind of humanity that heals and uplifts others. She is a truly bright light and I will be back because of her.”

“I’m editing my review & giving 5 stars now! Thank you Starbucks for listening to your customers & giving us hot fresh coffee on demand. The new machines you have now are wonderful! We can get any kind of hot coffee any time of day! Thank you!
Why can’t we get hot fresh coffee after 6:30pm anymore? We used to could but for about 2-3 months now we are told the brewers are put up & if we want an Americano. If I wanted an Americano I would’ve ordered one to begin with. These cost more and are not as hot. We’ve started going to Dunkin Doughnuts who gladly serves us fresh hot coffee, no matter the time of day. Pretty sad we have to go to a doughnut place to get fresh brewed coffee as opposed to a place who actually specializes in coffee.”

“Rainbow garden never disappoints. Every meal I have had there has been absolutely delicious and exactly what we expected. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Friendly service! Love that the crew know exactly how I like my modified Cloud Caramel Macchiato.Love this location”

“The staff on 4/13/24, at roughly 4:30, made today one of the best days. We brought our German Shepard with us from the lake. This staff moved a table outside for us to eat with our dog. The food was amazing as always and there isn’t better pizza anywhere. Thank you very much for a great day.”

“Very nice little spot on the water. The staff was amazing making sure our large party was seated and served promptly. Very good fried pickles. Selection was a little minimal but no complaints on what we ordered. Will definitely go back when in the area.”

“Eat here almost every Friday. Food is really good and the staff sometimes work short handed and they work hard to take care of everyone in a timely fashion. I thank each of you for your service.”

“I very much enjoyed eating at this restaurant and would recommend. The entrée options and menu in general can be challenging, but our waiter was so knowledgeable about the food, and the way it’s prepared, and what it goes well with, it was very easy to make my selections. I ate here on a trip to the lake with some friends. It was a perfect place for a group of well off middle-aged men with adventurous palates. Between the entire group, we must’ve ordered one of everything on the menu and it was all spot on. Don’t get fooled by the lack of exterior aesthetics or the absence of a parking lot. This place is good quality food.”

“We absolutely love the sandwich shop in Seneca! Some of our favorites include the strawberry stack, club sandwich, French dip, Greek fries and the patty melt! Always really good, cooked fresh and awesome service!”

“This is the BEST Japanese food I’ve ever eaten!! Price is great also!! Will definitely be back and often! ❤️”

“Enjoying a fantastic burger at the Arby’s in Seneca. The manager gave me a free cookie and apologized for having to wait for my food. Honestly I didn’t think I had to wait very long. There is a McDonald’s across the street and if I received a cookie every time I had to wait a loooooong time there I would be on the cast of “My 600lb. Life”. I will definitely be coming here to eat more often.”

“After fishing all day, we had a nice dinner and decided ice cream would make our disastrous day on the water slightly better. We were right. The ice cream was amazing, the service fast and friendly. And the price was very reasonable.”

“The biscuits were fresh. I got a plain biscuit with grape jam. Fiance got Chicken biscuit. Wished I would've gotten pics. We are them to fast. It was clean. Cashier we had was friendly & greeted us with respect!”

“We did an online order with pick up at the restaurant. We ordered the whisky bourbon hamburger with fries and grilled chicken fettuccine with broccoli.
It was delicious!”

“Excited to see and taste their She-Crab Soup. Excellent taste! Wings are baked and very good. Enjoyed their pizza. Happy to find another place to eat in Seneca. Definitely will return.”

“amazing! they were closing early and I didn't realize, worker came out and asked what I wanted. they heated up my order and made them very quickly despite being closed. we love skins!”

“My wife and I ate lunch there today, it was the best cheeseburger plates we have ever had, We will definitely be back soon. The price was great and staff was so friendly, everything is cooked to order and all burgers are fresh patties and not frozen, its so juicy and the patties are huge. We would definitely recommend this place and give it 10 stars. Thank yall for giving us a new wonderful place to dine in.”

“The food, atmosphere and service were great today! The two guys working were funny and made my husband and I an awesome salad and bowl! Delicious!”
