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!”

“Great local place to grab something to eat. Great apps Mermaid Nachos and Alligator cheesecake are highly recommended… my ribeye was cooked perfectly also ask for Christian he is an incredible server…”

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

“awesome food and service with a smile 👍”

“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.”

“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.”

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

“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.”

“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.”

“Great customer service, great location and wonderful coffee”

“Amazing fresh roasted beans for my home espresso! No more grocery store beans for me.”

“We absodamnlutely LOVE this place and the staff! Todd & Jennifer”

“The service was great and the food tasted just like I thought it would, wonderful. Topped it off with boba tea and that was good too.”

“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. I’m from Jersey and I recommend anyone to stop at this place to try to food out you will not be disappointed. I was so impressed with my son told me to try this place out and he was so right. Thanks, Jeanette Chatman”

“Would give it 100 stars if I could”

“Meat and 3 lunch special is always a great choice. Whether you call it home style or Southern comfort food, it's delicious. Four stars on service only because they're often busy, but food is still served quickly. I try to go there at least once a week for lunch.”

“The Sunset Smoothie OMG!! Awesome!”

“Their food and drinks are really good, and their service it's the best!”

“Fantastic brunch on 2/4/25. Cinnamon Swirl French Toast was delicious, and our waitress was A+. Will definitely visit the next time we’re in Sumter.”

“We were so pleasantly surprised tonight! Passing through Sumter and took a chance. My burger was AMAZING - Blue cheese bacon burger. Crisp sweet potato fries- no soggy fries! My son loved the Mac and cheese, family members had seafood platter- shrimp were large and fried pieces on the platter were nicely crispy, not at all greasy. High quality food. Honestly - since it’s in a strip mall, we were not expecting anything special but we were totally wrong. Highly recommend for a nice dinner! Also, smiling friendly staff. Stop and eat here!!!!”

“This has become one of my favorite restaurants in town! I love supporting small, family owned businesses but this one has exceeded my expectations over and over. 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”

“exciting platforms and services”

“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.”

“Food is wonderful! Most definitely my comfort food! This has become my new favorite place!”

“Was my first visit but I will return. The taste is awesome. If you have never experienced you need to give it a try just order ahead or go in and expect to wait 30 min from other returning customers waiting for the great taste of Liberty Seafood.”

“Outstanding locally owned spot with great food, great service, and a great atmosphere. The family that owns it really cares about their guests 😀”

“Great service an awesome wings.”

“Nice and clean service was good”

“great food , friendly atmosphere, just overall wonderful staff, love it !!!!”

“New to the area, ordered wings, 2 subs , lasagna and a slice of 🍕. Both food and service were great. The sweet tea is also on point!! Will be listed as one of our favorites so far!”

“I love this Mexican restaurant because the food is delicious. I always get the taco salad with a beef and sour cream on the side. It's not expensive and it tastes great.”

“we had a lunch date there that consisted of the love boat. food, boba and service were great! we will definitely be going back”

“Fantastic fried chicken! We enjoyed everything but the yams and fried chicken were our favorites! Friendly staff and nicely decorated restaurant! We will be back!”

“If someone doesn't give me a Philly cheese chicken sandwich & a peach tea right now, I'm gonna scream...... Aaaaaaaaahhhhh!!! #MouthWatering �����”

“Excellent and Tasty Sandwiches...My favorites are the Club and the Roast Beef Sub...Service is fast and Courteous. Well worth the Effort to go to Mary Ann's Deli ...”

“I am happy with the food, but I had a hard time deciding what sides as there were so many to choose from!! I can’t wait to order again😁”

“Food was excellent and the service was awesome.”

“Loved it! Thank you. Enjoyed being able to pick from all the varieties of topping.”

“this place honestly is amazing everytime me and hubby go into town we come here and get us a plate the employees are super kind the price is definitely worth it their hash is to die for seriously 😂 this is definitely a place we'll go to often!”

“Best fod truck in the South... fantastic wings and turkey legs

Kid-friendliness: Good kid meals

Wheelchair accessibility: Roll right up to the truck”

“extremely authentic Mexican food. nor your run of the mill place. all of our food was seasoned perfectly. street tacos were very moist. Will definitely be back. oh and the cakes. top notch.”

“I need a Georgio's Special sub now! 👍🏻👍🏻”

“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.”

“Always a good experience at Chick-fil-A. Great customer service! I ordered online and when I arrived at the restaurant the line was not long at all. My order was correct, the food was hot, and the drinks were cold.”

“Absolutely the BEST Chili Relleno I have ever had, the Tostada was off the charts, and the salsa served with chips was amazing and complimentary. I'm really not a fan of tostadas, but theirs are absolutely delicious. I could make a meal of those. The Chile Relleno is not battered and fried, so it's not all greasy. It's packed with gound beef and they use big juicey fresh Pablano Peppers. The Special Dinner comes out on 2 full sized plates and is enough for 2 hungry people, but it's so good you probably won't want to share. The Tostada was unbelievable and definitely better than any I have ever had. The food isn't overly spicy, and EVERYTHING was delicious. I was there for lunch and the huge parking lot was almost full. And for what it's worth, a lot of the customers were from Central and South America, and believe me, they know where to go for really good Mexican food. FYI, the Special Dinner was only 15 bucks! You might see me there, because I'm a new regular. ?”

“Simply the best in Sumter ~ and for miles around. Always get greeted with a warm smile. Never fail to impress. Ingredients are always fresh. Truly, can't get to TCBY often enough! Thank you, Dee Morgan Miller and the entire staff O:)”

“boba! :) :) :) :) :) :) :)”

“Stopped in today for lunch and tried the chicken pecan salad and low.carb chips.
So good! They have a variety of keto, gluten free, and sugar free desserts choices. Nice atmosphere and service as well. Highly recommend if you want healthy and tasty!”

“I went to go see Midnight Row and had the seafood platter, I was very surprised with how good the food was and came out hot. Great job and I will be back.”

“Great BBQ and hash and friendly atmosphere!!! Great service and fast with the delivery.”

“5/24 Great food as always. Employees seemed a little overwhelmed & stressed being short staff.

4/26 The food today, superb! The cook today, he definitely pays attention to detail when making the sandwiches. Delicious 🤤 tysm!”

“The food is DELICIOUS! You get a nice size portion, and the prices are reasonable. The owner is very friendly, well-mannered, and has a great attitude. This is the best seafood in SC. The wait time is 1 hr because the owner is the only chef, he makes all the food fresh and hot and he has a lot of customers. So order ahead and enjoy ?”

“Delicious food, handcrafted margaritas, beautiful place , can accommodate large party tables. Highly recommend it”

“I'm happy that you can now get delicious Indian food in Sumter. I had the butter chicken with rice and paneer manchurian. It was all fresh and delicious. They are open on Mondays only and use the Fishin Fellas kitchen. To place an order, call or text at least a day before.”

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

“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 hired Smokology to cater the meat for our wedding this past weekend and let me tell you! Best decision ever! We had the pulled pork, chicken, and brisket. 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!”

“It's such a great little place for some wonderful food. The smell when you walked in the door was heavenly! My husband had the leg quarters, and I have the pulled pork sandwich. Our sides were mac and cheese, potato salad, and baked beans. We had the loaded fries for an appetizer, which could have been a whole meal! They were so delicious! We will be stopping by again VERY soon!”

“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. 👌🏿”

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

“SO PLEASED THIS PLACE IS OPEN AGAIN . WENT FOR LUNCH AND WAS GREETED WITH A WELCOME SMILE . STAFF WELL GROOMED " IMPORTANT " AND VERY FRIENDLY . EVRYWHERE WAS NEAT AND CLEAN . FOOD GREAT AND WELL PRESENTED . NICE COZY PLACE TO EAT AND RELAX . THANK YOU .”

“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”

“Service was good. When I came in I was trying to figure out exactly what I wanted. Once I was ready they promptly took my order.

Seemed like a lot of employees for very few customers. Maybe just a slow time of day for their business.

Not sure watered down 8oz soup is worth $6.99, but I saw the price before I ordered. Just figured bowl size would be just that. And didn't realize it was watery until I got back to the hotel.

Not a lot of healthy options in the area. So, you get what you can get.

I'd do this again. Maybe not the soup next time though.”

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

“"I like their Chinese food; it tastes really good. I especially enjoy the combination plates and love their egg rolls. However, I feel like the quality could be better when they serve food later at night. The meal we got didn’t meet their usual standards, and I didn't even finish it because it tasted doughy."”

“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!”

“The Auxiliary Unit 15 asked Bojangles to help feed our National Guard troops waiting for Hurricane Florence here is Sumter, SC. They did so with a wonderful full sized meal plan. The troops send there love! (Posted Pic on FB)”

“Very welcoming atmosphere and staff. Food was fresh and delicious. Definitely a hidden gem I didn't know existed on this side of Sumter. I will be back!”

“Well I have always loved Arbys...I love the tender roast beef n now my favorite is the Turkey Club. But now I have a personal interest.. My daughter works there...I went in to ensure that she was doing a good job.. She loves it!”

“The food is really good the lady who works at the cash register is nice and when she answers the phone and say 10 and 15 mins she means it and they don't mess around with time”

“Love eat breakfast there and it the best”

“I used to eat at KJ’s all the time while I was stationed at Shaw AFB. If you want that good grill taste on ribs do yourself a favor and visit KJs!

Parking: Ample parking on the side of the building.”

“Great BBQ and hash and friendly atmosphere!!! Great service and fast with the delivery.”

“Tuscan Olive Oil and Sicilian Lemon White Balsamic Vinegar on my Avocado Toast absolutely delicious”

“I just had the most amazing wings today at this restaurant y’all go pull up you won’t be disappointed”

“It is super easy to order online and carryout. The wings are fantastic and the pizza is decent as well. It's located in a service station, so it's nice to be able to grab drinks or anything else when you pick up your order.”

“I am from up North, and this is by far the best Chinese food that I have had in the south. There is a great selection of fresh, hot food. The service is prompt and friendly. Also, the best prices that I have seen. My family and I have frequented this restaurant for over 3 years now and have never been disappointed.

Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly.”

“Small place, great atmosphere, wonderful hand-rolled sushi, great food. My son got pad thai and requested it be hot (not thai hot!) - he loved it, a bit too much for me! Highly recommend!!”

“this chilli's always is great!! the service is always on point and the food is hot and comes out fast!! my drink is always kept full, and the manager Bridget is amazing!! highly recommend the tossed mozzarella bites and the southwest egg rolls on the triple dipper!!!”

“A favorite over the years with consistently great tasting food. Tried the hot teriyaki wings for the first time and they are now a favorite. Service is great but typically have to wait even if ordered in advance.”

“We nolonger have a Chilis in Maryland where I live so it was a treat to find this Gem. The sevice and food were great looking forward to my visit back here next year when I visit sumter.”

“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.”

“Great customer service! Celebrated my 35 birthday last year there and had a blast! Thank you Tavern in Main.”

“This place is located in the country and the food is absolutely delicious. The chicken is incredibly tasty, and the egg rolls have a wonderful crunch. I can't get enough of the fresh, delicious rice. The people there are very friendly and down-to-earth. I've actually visited this place twice in one week because I enjoyed it so much!”

“Great place but a bunch of cheaters”

“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.”

“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.”

“Kristie and Brandy and Rock did a great job serving us in the lounge that night after a great meal from the restaurant. You won’t find a place as cleane or run any better I will be back there very soon probably this weekend”

“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!”

“My food was not fresh or hot. The lady that waited on us was friendly. When calling us to let us know our food was ready was very softly spoken did not hear her the first time. The outside was very nice.”

“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.

I won't be back.”

“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”

“A really good burger fix the way you want it with a heaping helping of french fries that are fresh and really good”

“Friendly staff and great food”

“Always great food and service”

“Always delicious food with quick and efficient service! Very clean, with a family-oriented atmosphere!!
There are plenty of tables to enjoy for a sit-down restaurant experience for the family”

“Drive in movie 🎥 date with my love ♥️”

“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.”

“I had pretty much given up on delivery pizza being any better than a good frozen pizza. Then we tried The Works pizza at Marco’s. Wow! Made me a believer again! The combination of the meats and veggies, the sauce, cheese and crust - probably the best pizza in town! The flavor! I also love the Greek salad. I get a small and have half of it for lunch the next day. Good job, Marcos!”

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