“Stopped by here on the way home from a long, rough road trip as a joke because of the name. We were not dressed fancy and had our kids in tow and they were still incredibly kind and the food was hot, delicious, fresh, and the best part of the last week vacation we’ve had. Portions were large and made the prices feel worth it. We will have to stop by here again, even if it is 2 1/2 hours from home. Thank you all!!!!”
“Food was great and our server, Amber, was even better! She is the best!!!”
“I travel from Syracuse to Spartanburg every year and I always make sure I get the wedge salad at Dray...it's the best!”
“I took myself in a Solo Date for my Birthday! Thanks to Erin, my server, who made my evening perfect. The food and atmosphere are perfect. Thank you!”
“First time here and it was amazing. Got there early to eat at the bar and was impressed with the Samsung phone chargers at each stool. Then the food and drinks were phenomenal! So cool to be able to watch the food being prepared from my seat! 10/10 for food and experience! kudos!!!”

“Dustin was a great help to me and a friend who checked the place out after they moved locations. I brought another friend back later because this was near the same replica of a local place we’d frequented in Florida. They loved the loaded tea drinks! I love the beauty drinks, it’s the only way I’ve been able to have collagen without tasting it!”

“Todd from SBHs was the first person to get back to me after I made several catering inquiries online. He called me, personally, later the same day. He took my request over the phone, encouraged me to use his cell phone for any questions, and sent me an estimate within a couple of hours. When I texted with questions or changes, he got back to me within the hour. It was a small party, less than 50, so we picked up the food ourselves and he provided the chafing dishes and Sternos. Food was ready as promised, and it was delicious!! We ordered the brisket, pulled pork and chicken, Mac and cheese and collards. Our guests were very happy and so were we! Thanks, Todd, for the great experience!”
“I heard about Wade’s through a family friend of ours… And it did not disappoint !!! very friendly service great portions, great atmosphere, down-home, southern cooking… A great place to go. Don’t miss out on a great Southern meal.ask for Bryce if ur there in the evening.. top notch server.”
“Quite literally my favorite spot to eat now. Please don't take the Birria tacos off the menu because I'm obsessed. 😍 My husband loves the Willy Quesadilla. You guys have something super unique and special, and I'm so glad I found you! Although I haven't dined in yet, and all my experience has been via food delivery with Doordash, everything has always been on point. From the street corn to the brisket egg rolls to the street corn fritters...it's all delish. Keep it coming! CHEF'S KISS!”
“We came a bit early and there were very few crowds, by 8pm it was definitely turning up. Had the pretzel bites and the loaded eggroll both were very good. Drinks were good but pour(strength) varied upon which bartender was making the drink. Atmosphere was clean and relaxed.”
“I would like to say that I had an issue with a bartender one evening BUT Travis Donavan , manager, called me the very next day and gave me his full attention. This bar is one of Spartanburg’s most lovely settings in town and the food in restaurant is excellent. The staff has always been professional and friendly. Sometimes folks just have bad days…”
“I am a bit upset with this place. I love going here because I love trying new ciders. My boyfriend and I went today with our 2 dogs. We went inside with both dogs. Ordered 2 drinks and 3 things off the food menu. Once we ordered we went to sit and I went to the restroom. I came out and couldn't find my boyfriend. They made him go out with the dogs. Our dogs are well trained and behaved. My problem is that this is considered "dog friendly" but they kicked us out with the dogs AFTER we ordered our drinks and food. If dogs aren't allowed in the building because of a "open kitchen" , then it should had been said to us when we walked in with the dogs. The girl could had said "Hey , dogs aren't allowed inside , I can come out and take your order". It's 40 degrees out and raining. We didnt want to sit outside in the cold with our dogs and they have no heater outside. We was looking for a place to eat with our dogs. We spent a good bit of money on food , that may had been pretty good if we ate it there but had to get it to go so we wouldn't freeze. Unfortunately I'll miss the cider options , but we won't be back. adding- I use to stop by after volunteering for the shelter and have seen workers come out AFTER people went in to order and say they could bring their dog inside. Point is , if the dogs aren't allowed in then it needs to be said when walking in and the dogs shouldn't be allowed in just so we can order our food and then be thrown outside.”

“Our chiropractor recommended this place. It was spot on!!! The service was impeccable and the food was out of this world. The patty melt, jalepeno popper burger, the parm fries, and the sweet potato fries were absolutely amazing!!! We drove from Greenwood to try this place! We will most certainly be coming back to this establishment!!”

“I cannot give enough praise for the service we received this evening by our server, Meleny. She is tremendous! I swear she can read minds because we never had to ask for anything, she just knew how to make this the best dinner possible. Fresh rolls, plenty of sauces, never an empty cup, picture perfect plate presentations; you name it! On top of that, her personality is one of a kind. She is so bright and by the end of the meal I felt like we could be best friends. Texas Roadhouse always has excellent food but this was the best experience dining out anywhere because of Meleny's service. We will be making the drive from Simpsonville to Spartanburg far more often now because of her. She handles the service industry so well; always keeping a smile on her face even when the restaurant stays so busy. My husband ordered the filet medallions with green beans and chilli and I ordered the smothered chicken with broccoli and a salad. I highly recommend both dishes.”
“The food was great! We all had the “Black and Blue”. Filet medallions were so tender; fried green tomatoes were the best I've ever had; crème brûlée was wonderful as well. Most importantly the service was exceptional. Way beyond expectations. She never let our glasses get empty and made sure our food preferences were honored. She kept asking if we needed anything. Lauren was kind, friendly and had a beautiful smile. She made our experience memorable. Lauren also praised her manager, Dan, stating he was the best she ever worked for, and that the entire staff loved working for him. It was just an all around great experience and we will definitely return!”
“Great vibe! Beautiful Decor! Super sweet and friendly bartender.. great tasting food!”
“Very nice restaurant and atmosphere, the manager lady Jeanet is very welcoming and nice. She’s a very kind hearted person.”

“I fully believe this to be the best Waffle House I have ever been to. The staff were very welcoming and continued to clean as they went. The staff didn’t leave each server to their own table but instead helped each other and checked in with other tables if they thought they may need something. However, what I enjoyed the most was the atmosphere. Regulars that have been coming here for 10 years were joking with staff and vice versa. It felt welcoming and at home. If I lived closer, this would be a regular weekend treat.”
“Absolutely wonderful staff. Food was excellent! Some customer was complaining about waitress looking at his grandson. The waitress did look at him a couple of times for his own safety because he was up walking around touching everything. It was obvious that your grandson was special needs but never did waitress say anything about what he was doing but did glance a couple of times to ensure his safety.This is the BEST Waffle House to visit.”
“This store was the only one on this side of town open. They only had one cook and one waitress. This world we live in today is crazy! People are getting more and more lazy!!! Our food and service was great just can't believe we had to go to three stores to get service.....”

“My Mom & I visited Outback in Spartanburg a few weeks ago. The food and service was good. My concern was when paying the bill they rounded off the bill from $23.12 to $24.00. We were told by the waitress they had no coins. I gave the wattress .12 and she gave me a dollar back. This is not acceptable! I received a response but the main unsatisfactory issue as you can see wasn’t even addressed!”

“The best steak tacos and cheese quesadillas I've ever put in my mouth! The pic doesn't do it justice, trust me. The steak was finely shredded and seasoned perfectly. The cheese quesadilla was loaded with creamy cheese and the tortilla was cooked perfectly, it was buttery and just the right amount of crispy. I do wish it was closer to home, but it is well worth the drive! Very friendly staff too! We will be back soon!”
“Me and my husband had our first date here about 4 years ago and since then, it’s been our go to place anytime we want sushi. It is well prepared, delicious and amazing every single time. The sushi is the main thing we get every time, but the hibachi and bento boxes are also delicious. Never been disappointed and don’t think we’ll ever go anywhere else for our sushi fix.”
“Pharmacy is one of my favorite local spots to get coffee! The beekeeper is my favorite hot or iced I also enjoy the golden milk latte and my husband loves their chai tea latte! Their attention to detail for avocado toast is top tier! I am a frequent customer and am never completely disappointed!”
“the waitress Tina needs another job cause being a waitress isn't the job for her she DROPPED 2 boxes on floor behind me she could have sat them down instead she rushed us to order never came back and asked us if we needed coffee had to get up 2 times to get more when she cleared a table of it's dishes she dropped them down on other dishes so that was very loud also she was right at my table and didn't even look my way then when we was waiting to pay in line instead of saying excuse me sir she once again was rude saying "you need to move" so I could complain about the food also but I'll jus complain about "Tina" the waitress. bad service can ruin the whole experience of eating here never going to waste my money or time again the rest of staff was great though..put Tina to doing dishes in the back so others don't have to experience her being disrespectful”
“We have been to FR8T Yard many times, but last night’s band Randomonium was AWESOME! Please invite them back! The beers and ciders were cold and flowing, and the Yard Hooch is a must-try!! Love the pretzels too! For those of you who haven’t been, what have you been waiting for?! Great place to meet up with friends anytime!!”
“The best food around. If you want a great taste experience, this is the best place to go.”

“The best experience I have ever had at a bar, run by the hospitable bartender you could ever meet, Kelly. If you get a chance, definitely give this place a good visit. Found great drinks food, conversation, and a lively atmosphere. Karaoke is also often offered and a great time”
“I love, love, love the Stolen Brownie Sundae! They only have outside seating (benches). We enjoy it. The service today was not good. Aftet standing at the window a while, watching someone wash dishes, I poked my head in the window and called 'hello'. The second time, I noticed. He apologized, took our order, and they had our food ready quickly.”
“Mike and I make an excuse to drive from Asheville, NC to Costco in Spartanburg, SC so we can have Sunday lunch at J&G's. Mike loves their fried chicken and I love their veggies, especially their fried okra and collard greens (I'm a vegetarian and they don't cook their veggies in meat or meat products!). From our first visit a few months ago and every visit since, everyone there, especially Bobby and John, make you feel like family. Mike has cancer so it's a good feeling to see him eat so well and enjoy himself so much. And don't forget the banana pudding...delicious!!”

“My family and I love John’s! His breakfasts are amazing. Of course, my favorite is the huge waffle with bacon. For lunch, I love the cafe combo served with his spicy pimento cheese and chicken salad. In addition to great food, there is a friendly atmosphere, making it a great place to eat.”
“Decided to try Smallcakes while visiting Spartanburg. Warm and friendly place to enjoy cupcakes and ice cream!! They have quite a few flavors of cupcakes to choose from, and they are displayed so deliciously. My hubby decided on the lemon drop, and I went with the caramel crunch. They were so good...moist and flavorful. Two cupcakes and two small cups of ice cream cost $19 and some change. It's a little pricey but totally worth it, in my opinion!!”
“Had a great experience with the bartender Kayla. Also had great food. I asked her the name of the cook and she told me his name was Matt. He definitely knows what he is doing in the kitchen. Not everyone there does.”
“Floyd was an amazing server. Great service. Well mannered. I was talking to my daughter about her manners and thankfully she got to see good manners. Our order was completely correct and we were in and out like we wanted to be. Thanks for the wonderful service !”
“My husband had the General Tso chicken and I had the sweet and sour chicken both with pork fried rice. Absolutely amazing!!! Everything was cooked to perfection not to mention they delivered! Extremely impressed! honest pricing was unexpected but very appreciated!!!”

“We love to go to Applebees on hillcrest side of town but we happened to be on the west gate side so we stopped to eat . Our server sucked she wasn’t polite and just handed over our food and hurried away . Seen her outside the window smoking and talking to someone that had just pulled up , she comes back in after 10 mins or so brings our food it’s cold !
This visit sucked !
Parking: Just not enough room when there’s a crowd there
Kid-friendliness: It’s ok when there is a friendly server”

“This is a discount bread and snack store. Yes you need to look at the dates. I buy all my bread, hamburger and hotdog rolls there. I have purchased rolls that date was 1 or 2 days past the expiration date and had absolutely no problems. Very good prices. Very good sales. I like their $1 half loafs of bread.”

The food was awful, awful!!! the goat meat was chewy; I never was able to actually chew not one piece of goat meat!!! I never swallowed not one dang piece!! HORRENDOUS, THE ONLY GOOD THING ON MY PLATE WAS RICE AND ANOTHER THNG, WHERE WAS THE FRIED BANANAAS?? NEVER EVER AGAIN!!!! YUK, YUK!! I complained and all I got was a sorry!! Wasn't going to get anything else, i threw the remainder of the food in the trash!!!”

Thanks, Todd, for the great experience!”
“The flavor options for cobbler are great. The caramel apple was my favorite and tasted fresh!
We also tried a milkshake and it was delicious. We're gonna try the giant cookies next time.
Atmosphere wasn't the most inviting to hang out for but it wasn't necessarily bad either. We dropped in waited a few minutes and took it home to enjoy and will do it again. Don't miss out on their deserts!”
“Got here a few minutes before opening and there was a line. Very cordial and fast moving as they had 2 greeters and registers going. Plenty of parking. Waitress I had was Jennifer…very friendly and always checked in to see if everyone in her section needed anything..don’t have to worry about running out of beverage, as she was on top of it. Food - everything was hot and fresh..which is a very welcoming appeal to buffets, as sometimes when they first open..warmers aren’t always hot. The popcorn shrimp was a little crispier than what I like..but that’s just me and I won’t discredit them for that. Desserts…holy whoa..they “fudge brownie”…heaven on a plate. It’s the standard run of the mill Golden Corral buffet options but something about this one here in Spartanburg seemed different. It’s like they all have a friendly tone to them and it’s just very welcoming overall. I will be back and definitely give this a 5*.”
“I heard about Wade’s through a family friend of ours… And it did not disappoint !!! very friendly service great portions, great atmosphere, down-home, southern cooking… A great place to go. Don’t miss out on a great Southern meal.ask for Bryce if ur there in the evening.. top notch server.”
“One of Spartanburg's best! Been coming here for years. In fact, where did my wife (who is originally from Greenwood SC) want to go to dinner on our anniversary? Gotta marry a woman who'll choose The Beacon over a snooty five-star restaurant any day! Recommendations: everything but my go-tos or either the double chili-cheese with bacon or slice heavy on the red with a tea of course!”
