“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!”

“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!”

“Delicious food and really nice owners. I highly recommend the Italian salad-it’s my favorite!”

“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.”

“My family went to eat here Sunday night. First and foremost the food is absolutely amazing!! Secondly, our server was out of this world! She was so kind to my 9 year old and even went out of her way to make a special drink for him!! We will make this one of our frequent spots!”

“My husband and I enjoyed an anniversary dinner at Dray last night. We had great food, fun drinks and a crème brûlée that I will remember for the next 20 years. I was so focused on bundling up for the cold and retrieving my leftovers that I forgot my purse hanging on the back of the chair. I didn’t notice until an hour later and I hightailed it back there to see if it was there. Our server, Scott, had put it up for me and remembered me as soon as I had come back. Aside from all my cards and cash, I had important work items that I was concerned about. Everything was exactly in place and nothing was missing and I am so, so relieved. Thank you to your crew and especially Scott for the great experience that could have turned sour but didn’t. My only regret is that I shared the crème brûlée with my husband instead of ordering my own. We’ll be back.”

“Food was great and our server, Amber, was even better! She is 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!”

“Absalutly Amazing Food! Great service! Very friendly!”

“Delicious food and amazing service.”

“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…”

“staff is awesome. food is great”

“I had seen a few lackluster reviews so was a little hesitant. But, so glad we went. The food was excellent, the service super, and the atmosphere was great. I did switch rice and broccoli for mashed potatoes and Brussels, and those were very tasty. We also got a wedge salad before the meal which paired well with the bread. Our server was very responsive and knowledgeable. The atmosphere was very laid back which was so relaxing. We had a great dinner and conversation. We will go back!!”

“Best Lobby and staff in town. David and Walter are the best. Marriott is so lucky to have them!”

“Enjoyed everything from the atmosphere to the delicious food!”

“Panda Garden is hands down the best Chinese food spot in Spartanburg County! This cozy little place is family-owned, and you can tell the owners put a lot of care into their food and service. They’re always friendly, and the restaurant is kept super clean, making it a great place to either sit down and enjoy a meal or grab some quick takeout.

The food is always fresh, made to order, and comes out fast—but never at the cost of quality. Every dish I’ve had has been amazing, and the prices are very reasonable. It’s also in a super convenient location, making it an easy go-to for a great meal. If you’re looking for top-tier Chinese food in the area, this is the spot! Highly recommend.”

“I have some health problems that prohibit prohibit me from eating any kind of grease and I can only eat brown rice so I have a big problem finding a place to eat but not anymore.....red bowl is perfect for me”

“COURTNEY!!!! Absolutely awesome server, friendly and helpful. She made our stop in for dinner extra nice. 🩷”

“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.”

“We LOVE whataburger in Texas and we’re excited to get one close to home. I went today for the first time and it was great! I got in and out quickly and the team was working diligently and was in good spirits. We recently had an opening of another restaurant where I live and they struggled with the pressure of influx of people and had bad attitudes. Whataburger employees were laughing and very polite and were handling the traffic well. Also, food is delicious! I wish I had their names so I could shout them out but there were so many helping that I couldn’t get one.”

“Very good breakfast and staff is great! Food cooked they way you order it.”

“Hunt brothers never disappoint! Hands down my favorite pizza! Extra awesome that extra toppings are no charge...if you haven't tried it yet, I highly recommend you run to get some!!”

“Very nice waitstaff. Good.”

“The staff on Christmas Eve was awesome! I am so sorry I do not remember our waitress name but she was amazing! If your im the area and craving a waffle. Stop by!”

“Awesome food, the staff was very professional and kind. Our waitress was exceptionally nice and made sure we had everything we needed.
The restaurant was very clean and smelled good. Everyone was always doing something, cleaning and replacing table condiments.”

“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.....”

“we had a good cook today!”

“A “10”. and a Wonderful next day also”

“Well, McDonalds is McDonald’s. Cashiers are super friendly. And the food is put together very well. Fries are usually fresh. The only thing is they never have ice cream. Ice cream machine is always “broken””

“Went in for Breakfast on my way to NC. Staff was very nice. Even checked in after I got my food sure everything was good. Don't know how this place has so many bad reviews.”

“They are the worst. you be sitting in drive thru for 30 minutes to order and no one is at the two windows. and another 20 minutes waiting on food. smh”

“Great atmosphere and delicious burgers!!!!”

“Food is great… friendly service soon as walk in door”

“Good food and great service. Megan was our server and Ron made sure we were satisfied.”

“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”

“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!”

“Loved the food and outdoor seating since we like to take our dog! Will definitely be back!”

“I absolutely love this place! Amazing food and the hospitality is above and beyond. I cannot wait to go back. Thank you Southern Barbecue!”

“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.”

“We ordered Ribs, Brisket, calabash chicken, Philly cheese steak, Brunswick stew and various sides Togo. Every single bite was delicious! Meat was juicy, flavorful and tender. Service was excellent and you can tell they put thought into how they package your food to keep the flavor and juices in the meat and not all over the bag or your car! Will be stopping again next time I'm in spartanburg!”

“We love working remote from Little River because of their drinks, food and atmosphere!”

“This restaurant is AMAZING!!! The staff is super friendly, the food is outstanding, and the atmosphere is great. The food comes in huge portions and is so fresh. All 3 of my kids even loved it. Such a great experience and we will definitely be going back.”

“Been coming here for years and they never disappoint! Good food and you get your money's worth and then some. I always make it a point to get me some of that potato salad no matter what I order. One of Spartanburg's best!”

“They are super friendly and helpful. Food is delicious. Haven’t found anything I haven’t liked. Great business to support.”

“Best coffee shop around! Handcrafted coffee, good food, amazing people and a friendly atmosphere ☕️”

“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!!”

“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!!”

I can’t get enough of it. I’m have a hard time trying to get calories and healthy foods in my body on a daily basis and this right here helps so much!! It is SOOOO good! I do remove the coconut, mango and blueberries. I sub for strawberries and bananas and it’s SO DELICIOUS!! A+++++ Recommend 100%!!”

“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.”

“Definitely consider myself a regular here. The food is always fresh and on point. It’s by far the best Thai food you will find in the upstate. I typically get the chicken pho bc it’s my favorite. But sometimes I will get one of the noodle dishes, they’re also really good. The service is always A+ and the atmosphere is chill. The owner always makes time to speak with us, and she’s always friendly. If you haven’t tried this place check it out it will not disappoint.”

“This place is a gem! The food and sauces were bursting with flavor. The staff is warm and friendly. Can’t wait to try more menu items! Highly recommend!”

“A hidden gem! The neighborhood might be a little rough, but don’t let that stop you. This is one cozy, cheerful place. Our delicious made-to-order breakfast was served quickly. You won’t believe the prices . Great service by two awesome ladies.”

“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.”

“Love The Ribs!!! Soft, Tender & Delicious. The Potato Salad is to Die For!!! The Green Beans Are Seasoned To Perfection!!! And Their CornBread Is Like No Other, Soft, Moist & Delectable!!!”

“Best cheese dip I’ve ever had!!!!!!!!”

“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.”

“Pizza buffet was good. Staff was was good and efficient. Leaving the rug and door was very dirty. Sidewalk outside and garbage can we’re terrible looking.”

“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.”

“Gerhards is the ultimate! Food and service is Phenomenal! Read a few negative comments. That was after reopening during pandemic. Of course, not enough staff. If you were not happy, please try again. Totally worth it!”

“Love coming to Spartanburg Spill the Beans but it’s filthy. The floor and tables are dirty. Just needs a deep overall cleaning…pleez, and keep it clean!!”

“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.

“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*.”

“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!”

“Great Chicken Tenders ,hushpuppies and love those vegetarian greens. I like my sauce on the side. Great Service!”

“Allison was great. One of the best bartenders I have had in the best couple of years. She was fast and efficient and treated us like family for our first time in the state.”

“Always good food. Did take long to get order, and no indoor seating options. Seemed a bit dangerous area for seating out front. No gates to close thw area off. That ia the only reason for 1 star deduction”

“My family went to eat here Sunday night. First and foremost the food is absolutely amazing!! Secondly, our server was out of this world! She was so kind to my 9 year old and even went out of her way to make a special drink for him!! We will make this one of our frequent spots!”

“So good it will melt in ur mouth”

“I especially enjoy dinner during Jameson Smith hosted Sunday Songwriters. ~N”
