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 👍”

“Cold beer and hot food! The bar is a blast with Emily and Paul. Tons of regular customers that make you feel right at home even if you come in alone. Great hangout spot”

“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.”

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

“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.”

“We went here for my brother's baby shower after-party during karaoke Saturday and we all had an awesome time! The DJ was great, the drinks were good, and the staff were all helping to make it a fun time! We will be coming back for more Saturday night Karaokes!!”

“As it turns out this place is not a coffee joint as I'd hoped. It's a 50/50 of bar and Cafe. While disappointed we decided to see how it was as it is. We where too early for the crowd but the beers where cold with a basic selection that is sure to sell. The food was ok, it wasn't anything to write home about but filled the need to satisfy hunger.The building was small but had room to move about for when the crowd eventually started to gather.”

“wonderful place for a good time.”

“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.”

“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 !!”

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

“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.”

“I’ve been to many different coffee shops and this one is my favorite. I wish yall had more locations across the state. 12/10 would recommend!”

I recommend the pancakes!”

“Would give it 100 stars if I could”

“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”

“The Sunset Smoothie OMG!! Awesome!”

“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”

“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 would recommend this Buffet to any that enjoys Sushi and a large variety of Asian Food.”

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

“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.”

“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 .”

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

“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.”

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

“I’m addicted to this place and I don’t want to be cured! They’re always so kind and funny when I come for my usual meal, which is the Vegan curry plate. I’m not even vegan and I will demolish it. I can’t say I’ve had a bad meal or bad experience here. They’re amazing!”

“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.”

“Outstanding customer service and quality materials and equipment”

“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!”

“Delicious boba tea and treats. My kids love the rolled ice cream!!”

“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.

“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.”

“Great place but a bunch of cheaters”

“We ordered to go today 9.30.25. The restaurant was clean the staff was great. Unsure of new owners or a true makeover. Outstanding! Chile rellenos and enchiladas. Chef kisses!”

“Always great food and service”

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

“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.

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

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

“I came on a Sunday and they don't usually serve food but had made a pork chop spread for their dart players. They let me partake and it was marvelous. Know it is a private club which requires a membership.”

“The employee is not very cleanliness. The employee that takes the money fixes the snowballs also and don't wash their hands before preparing. I went to the location on yesterday and watch the girl who was working by herself wearing one glove, kept reusing the same glove after taking each customer payment. Then when putting more ice in the machine, she picked up the ice with her bare hand without washing them. There should multiple people there, that the person doing the payment transaction shouldn't have to be preparing the snowballs also. Especially with how Covid is still an issue. This location is really slow also because of them not enough people in there to keep the process flowing.”

“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.”

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

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

“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:)”

“I have not personally eaten at this establishment; however, my kids love to go here on date night. I recently bought a gift card online that was mistakenly for a different El Paso restaurant in another town. Caleb was exceptionally helpful to me and went above and beyond to help me resolve the issue. It was clear that his goal was to make a happy customer and not about the monetary impact of the gift card. Thank you, Caleb for your excellent customer service! I was impressed!”

“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.”

“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.”

“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!”

“I ordered a German Chocolate cake from Carasmatic Creations and I gotta say that was the best cake we've had in YEARS! A tad pricey but it was worth every dollar and to have it delivered on time. I'll be buying again in the future.”

“We get food here all the time. I've never had anything from there I didn't like. I think it's the best in Sumter and I've been to most of them.”

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

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

“Love eat breakfast there and it the best”

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

“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.”

“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.”

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

“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.”

“Friendly staff and great food”

“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”

“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!”

“They serve the best Chinese food in Sumter South carolina. It is always fresh and they give you a good amount of food I can never complain when I go and get my food from here.”

“A small Pizza place located near the Hospital, it offers pizza by the slice. The pizza is good and they often have a 2 slice special. Plenty of parking and a good staff attitude. You can done in or take out, call in orders available too.”

“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. 👌🏿”

“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.”

“Order 2 sandwich meals. When we got the food they gave us crinkle fries instead of the curly fries we ordered. They also forgot to give us our cheese sauce. Went inside and the cashier was nice about the mistake and made it right.”

“Best service ever. Sunshine, KK and Daniel were awesome and made our visit a pleasure. Food was great and was delivered fast!”

“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.”

“The food is very good. It just seems like the person taking the orders gets angry at you for little reasons. You have to get the amount of something they say you get whether you can eat it all or not. I wasn't trying to be rude in anyway, I just asked a question. They don't have to get so angry at you for little things. So, if you eat here, just be careful asking certain questions, because he gets talks firm like he is angry.”

“I finally stopped here and had the lunch portion of chicken and broccoli with steamed rice. It was very good and the service was pleasant and quick. Markdown on atmosphere was for dirty floor. The floor could've been swept up... looked like someone spilled their entree (beef pieces). However, I would stop here again if I was in the area.”

“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”

“It was good. For what I paid for it was good. Fries and fried catfish were outstanding. The pizza was better than I thought it was going to be. Would go back again.”

“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!!”

“Pretty standard for Firehouse. Excellent sandwiches, never had an issue with any of my orders. If you're going to order for "takeout", don't use DoorDash. The prices are higher by like $3~$4 on that app.”

“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”

“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!”

“Everything was great and what you expect from a Chick-fil-A. The only issue was the seating area. The tables needed some attention. But other than that, it’s always spot on with Chick-fil-A.”

“Had ramen and sushi. Absolutely amazing I was definitely full to say the least. If you get the 2 of the chef rolls you get a 3rd for free. They’ll definitely be seeing me again”

“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”

“Every time I go inside it's always a friendly atmosphere and I definitely enjoy my time there each time.

Kid-friendliness: Before 6 I would say. Lol

Parking: Mall across the street parking if it's packed

Wheelchair accessibility: Handicap and wheelchair access”

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

“Drive in movie 🎥 date with my love ♥️”

“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!”
