Restaurants in Sumter

“Review of The Hamptons Restaurant - Sumter, South Carolina I recently had the pleasure of dining at The Hamptons restaurant in Sumter, South Carolina, and I can confidently say it was one of the most remarkable dining experiences of my life. As someone who has frequented many fine dining establishments in Los Angeles, I can assure you that The Hamptons is second to none. I chose to indulge in the braised short ribs, paired with creamy cheese grits, and I was absolutely blown away. The short ribs were nothing short of extraordinary; they were so tender they practically fell off the bone, delivering rich, savory flavors that lingered delightfully on the palate. Before placing my order, I consulted with my attentive server, who enthusiastically recommended the short ribs, noting that patrons travel from afar just to savor them. Now that I’ve experienced them myself, I completely understand why! The atmosphere at The Hamptons is another highlight of the experience. The intimate setting, complemented by tasteful decor and soft lighting, creates a cozy yet upscale ambiance that makes every moment feel special. It’s the perfect backdrop for savoring each bite and enjoying the company of friends or loved ones. To top it all off, the service was impeccable. The staff was attentive without being intrusive, ensuring that my dining experience was smooth and enjoyable from start to finish. Every detail was thoughtfully attended to, which truly enhanced the overall experience. In summary, if you find yourself in Sumter, South Carolina, do not miss the opportunity to dine at The Hamptons. With its exquisite cuisine, exceptional service, and inviting atmosphere, it promises an unforgettable culinary journey that rivals the finest dining establishments in any major city. I can’t wait to return!”

“Abby was very informative and provided great service. Couldn’t get appetizer finished before our salad was brought out, then our meal was brought out during eating our salad. Very proficient. Was always coming around to check not just with us but others that she was serving at the time. Definitely will be back to see her!”

“awesome food and service with a smile 👍”

“Their lobster and crad is sooooooo good i,m about to orden some now”

“Great food feels like being at the beach 35 years ago loved the ambiance.. great wait staff, get nice people everywhere, but the best part was the prices!
Be reasonable.
I was after mass at my catholic parish for fish...
Thanks to you all!”

“First time going last night and it was excellent! The atmosphere was very comfortable. The rooftop is beautiful 😍 and the food was delicious. Best loaded nachos we’ve ever had! And it wasn’t as expensive as we thought it was going to be. Staff was awesome too! Especially the first floor bartender. Very knowledgeable and made us feel very welcome and not awkward for asking so many questions being our first time. Definitely recommend and we will be going again.”

“Just so you're not surprised, this is the kind of place where you pick up your meat and take it home to keep warm/heat up and pair it with your own fixins' for a meal. If you get the ribs they are going to come rinds on, meat falling off the bone, lots of sauce. The sauce is the right amount of spicy for those who like spicy.”

“It’s ok. A bit small. Good games. Went late so didn’t expect too many people. One person behind counter so we waited about 12 mins to pay because others were selecting rewards. Otherwise pretty clean for an older spot. Trampoline part was closed an hr before closing and it’s 10$ more to use.”

“Great experience tonight, we will definitely be back!”

“I like the bands, pot luck, and crowd; Although, I party too hard and became banned. It was a nice chill spot to shoot pool and play darts. During that time I just dance too much!”

“Ordered from door dash when I received my order it was outstanding. Can't get into details but you all will have to try Nascar refuel burgers,drinks,and deserts. I know you will love it!”

“I had the baby backs, collars, and Mac n cheese today. I'm not a fan of vinger base sauce but this sauce changed my thinking fast it's the bomb. Everything was outstanding the meat had smoke flavor all the way to the bone. I appreciate a good meal so go check them out it's worth the money.”

“Just wanted a dinner and a movie night at home with the kids. Always ordered online so I have no experience with anyone inside. Delivery has always been 45-55 minutes so I plan accordingly. Only complaint is every time I put in for contactless delivery, but it never happens. That’s not the end of the world. I recommend online order and delivery option.”

“Service from hostess, wait staff, servers incredible!! 🌟❤️🙂❤️🙂❤️🙂🌟💐💐💐Thank you!!! Recent visit in , awesome waitress ! Clean establishment for dining !!”

“My husband and me had a very nice experience at this restaurant. We usually come to watch the ufc fights and have a good time when we come. Tonight our waitress, Elianna (she had a black bow in her hair), was excellent. She was extremely polite and kept an eye on our table even though it was just me and my husband and they were very busy. The food came out fresh and was very tasty. It did take a little time but it was very busy. Will most definitely come back.”

The desserts are unique and high quality, every meal I have tried has been amazing. My favorite right now is the Khao Soi with rice instead of noodles with a butterfly pea tea 🤤 I think the food is very child friendly unless you expect chicken nuggets at ethnic restaurants”

“Nice and clean service was good”

“I was so impressed with the food. Customer service was great. The brunch hours the food got to try it. I really enjoy the food. They will see me back again.

“Food was great as always, and definitely the best service we have ever had. Food came out quick and we didn’t have to ask for anything. Kyndal was our waitress and will start asking for her section. Thanks”

“I have never had faster service anywhere I've ever been. We ordered our food and within 2 minutes our fajitas were at the table. I'm not even joking... My boyfriend and I looked at each other thinking they brought someone else's food because it was so fast.”

“Loved the barbecue and the hash!! Hush puppies were excellent as well. The other sides tasted like something grandma had made. Service was friendly and welcoming. I liked the dining room, it was cozy and old fashioned.”

“Cute little coffee stop. We just went to the drive through. Not sure if there is an inside to visit. If so, good luck parking. The person who helped us was delightful. We all enjoyed our drinks. If I lived in the area I would probably become a regular. May not be the best coffee, but good enough to go back.”

All of our guests were raving about how good it was! There were comments made about it being the best brisket they’ve ever had! Not to mention their pricing is great! Absolutely no regrets! A huge thank you to Adrian and his amazing wife for a great experience and delicious food! We will be ordering again!”

“exciting platforms and services”

“I work at the call center in the mall and usually stayed away from the Chic-fil-a due to how busy it gets, but this past Saturday I decided to go ahead and get a spicy deluxe with a frosted coffee and was very pleased by the friendliness of the staff, particularly Paul, who processed my order and made me feel like a very valued customer”

“We’ve been here a few times already. Great food and smoothies! The owners are very nice people. Will recommend to everyone!”

“i will not get wings from anywhere else. i am hooked they are absolutely delicious!! keep doing what you do!!”

“Coffee was great, as expected, but the breakfast sandwiches leave a lot to be desired. Not just this particular Starbucks, but each time we have had breakfast on the road from any Starbucks. I think I will pass on them from now on!”

“Ordered and paid for an iced Americano and an unsweetened iced tea. A few minutes later I was told the iced tea had already been thrown out and was offered a soft drink. (Why would I want a soft drink if both the drinks I ordered have zero sugar in them?) I told the employee no and to just make me another iced Americano. Instead of preparing another shot of espresso, the barista decided to split the one shot she already prepared into two drinks, handing me two watered downed Americanos. 🤦🏼‍♀️ She didn't think i noticed. I won't be back.”

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

“The people there are always respectful, nice lI don't know what the lady name is that's usually there. She always treats me like family, the food is always fresh, this is usually my go-to for lunch. I've been a customer for the past 3 years. No complaints. 👌🏿”

“Great place but a bunch of cheaters”

“Love eat breakfast there and it the best”

“Had lunch here today; Jaden took our order and was not only very friendly but on top of things the whole time. There was a mixup in the kitchen with one of our orders involving an allergy (not Jaden’s fault; he took our order perfectly and confirmed all the details), but he still did an excellent job of efficiently getting it sorted out, and even though the restaurant was busy he took the time to make sure we were all taken care of. He provided some of the best customer service I’ve had in a while.”

“Always friendly service. Restroom and Areas are clean. Quiet place to sit alone or with friends. Plenty of choices for a bite to eat or just a drink. Casual spot. Staff knowledgeable.”

“After reading the reviews I decided to go for lunch. Employees were excellent. Sandwich was exactly as ordered. Found a new place for subs. Best sub restaurant in town. Highly recommend!! Didn’t have ONE single issue with the food or the employees.”

“Food and employees are great. The physical appearance of the kitchen is concerning. The ceiling tiles are absolutely disgusting, and walls/floors need attention. Really needs a deep scrub down”

“they are really fast here in the sumter one it's very very slow”

“Ginza Grill was great! Good quality, affordably priced sushi and hibachi. They even had a pretty good quality sake. If you're looking for Japanese food or Asian fusion, this is a great option!”

“Service was EXCEPTIONAL - visited with a fellow foreign USAF spouse with an infant. Staff were attentive, bringing trays to the table for us, getting a high chair, cleaning trays away, all with a huge smile and great customer service. Food was great, well made and flavoursome, the salsa/sauce station was a great asset. The whole restaurant was clean, including the restrooms. Ample parking and a well kept parking lot.

If I am ever back in Sumter, I will be back, and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to a friend.”
