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!”

“We stopped in Sumter, SC for the night on our drive from Vermont to Florida. Sidebar was strongly recommended for dinner and did not disappoint. BBQ sandwiches were excellent as well as sides (sweet potato fries, baked beans, cole slaw). There's also a lot of choices for draft beers and cocktails. We look forward to another dinner at Siidebar on our way back to Vermont next month.”

“awesome food and service with a smile 👍”

“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!”

“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”

“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!”

“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!!”

“It's not been updated in awhile, but this is now a soul food cuisine/catering spot. Went in not knowing what to expect, and was overwhelmed by the stupendous smells. Came in hungry, left happy and full, the prices are quite reasonable too, with friendly staff.”

“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’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.”

“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!!!”

“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.”

“Kim was our server and she was excellent!!! Her personality is perfectly suited to interact with the public. She is courteous, pleasant and efficient. All in all a great asset to your restaurant.”

“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!”

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

“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.”

“The servers, bussers, and everyone are so unbelievable kind and friendly. The prices are really affordable and the food is so good.

I recommend the pancakes!”

“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”

“Would give it 100 stars if I could”

“Most authentic Mexican food in Sumter and delicious foods! I love the Molcajete 😋🤤”

“My wife and I happen to stumble across this place on our way from Columbia to Bonneau. Some of the best BBQ I’ve had in a long time. Living in Berkeley County good food like this is hard to find! Everything has become commercialized.”

“The Sunset Smoothie OMG!! Awesome!”

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

“Great food ! Good good people working”

“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”

“Nice and clean service was good”

“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😁”

“The food is fresh and tastes amazing cooked. It was seasoned to perfection. The are incredibly slow though. We called in our order and were told the wait would be an hour. We waited a little over 1.5 hours..”

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

“I've been here 3 times in the last 2 months! Food always fresh & hot, bar always stocked! The host comes back every couple of minutes to ask if you are ok or do a table over look to remove unwanted dishes & refill drinks. I highly recommend! Craw fish crabs several different shrimp dishes shrimp Alfredo ribs wings they are great!”

“Great service an awesome wings.”

“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!”

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

“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.”

“This space is perfect for intimate events. The service is impeccable, and fast and friendly. The decorations, balloon arrangements, food, and everything was taken care of by the staff. Love it and would recommend again and again.”

“I have had their food about 6 times now. I love their subs and pizza. I have asked for items that turned out not to be on the menu and they added it to my pizza. The lady who takes my order is polite and always gets the order correct. I didn't rate the atmosphere as I have never dined in. I am always picking up food for my family”

“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!”

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

“Food was excellent and the service was awesome.”

“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 ...”

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

“Sweet Success Bakery went above and beyond to help us prepare to share exciting news with family. She accommodated our request with very short notice and created something beautiful and delicious. I would highly recommend Sweet Success Bakery to anyone needing a delightful dessert!”

“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!”

“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.”

“We spent an hour together with our family and enjoyed every moment. Food came out quickly and tasted delicious. There's one thing that usually frustrates me at Authentic Mexican restaurants; the music takes over and it's difficult to hear one another. At Angel's, the music set the background but never took over the room.”

“Outstanding customer service and quality materials and equipment”

“The best food in Sumter, SC. Relaxing family atmosphere. Friendly and professional staff. Good Gospel music. Reasonably priced. Very clean.”

“We recently moved back to Sumter after being stationed here for a couple of years, going back home, and deciding to move back. In the midst of moving back I decided to order something from here. The person at the drive thu was kind and also spelled my name Emilua which was awesome, and made me laugh after a stressful day of moving. Everyone was kind and efficient. The Chick-fil-A in the town were were recently in staff were too busy talking to other staff, or over talking to customers so the food was always backed up and cold. Don't get me wrong, I am all about talking to customers but there is a point. Not this Chick-fil-A, the order comes out right away when or close to when it goes to the window, and is hot and ready. Thank you for making me laugh after a stressful day, I was full and happy. 😸”

“Wonderful people, delicious salad bar, and a lovely atmosphere.”

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

“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.”

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

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

“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 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.”

“Food is overly good !! I always eat from here”

“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 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.”

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

“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.”

“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:)”

“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.

“They always go above and beyond to be helpful. We got stuck in traffic and they held our food and let us pick it up even though they had closed. Super grateful.”

“First visit at the New store, first thought was, it smells new compared to the other two in Sumter lol, they did mess up my order, she apologized and said ill get it right next time. OK but what if I never come back, ill stick with my crew near Walmart, and all my regulars at 7am, you know who you are.”

“Delicious every time. These chicken wings are sooooo good. I love when I’m passing thru Sumter and get to get some of this good home cooking. ❤️ Try the macaroni and thank me later.”

“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 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.”

“Incredible homemade breads!!! I’m impressed and won’t mind to drive 50 mls to get this authentic and healthy bread from lovely lady.”

“Hunt Brothers Pizza is a great pizza for anybody searching for really good tasting food the employees are always very respectful their Pizza is also never undercooked or overcooked it is always just right with a perfect amount of toppings”

“Love eat breakfast there and it the best”

“Just went for queso dip and chips. My grands love it. I noticed several times we've gone the tables, nor the seats were cleaned. There was trash, crumbs, and or a sticky substance on the table. We had to look around table a decent table to sit and enjoy our time.”

“Enjoyed my meal asked for hot fries and got them. I was very surprised that the cashier remembered my last name. Haven’t been there in a few months. That was nice to be remembered. Thank!”

“Friendly staff and great food”

“Probably some of the best pizza around. Price went up unfortunately! But it's the most convenient quick dinner option since it's right down the street from my house”

“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 Chinese food in the city. I come here once a week and I am never disappointed. The owner is sweet and remembers the regulars. The food is reasonably priced and the food comes out quick.”

“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.”

“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. 👌🏿”

“I always love visiting this Starbucks! They are fast, friendly, and the whole store is always spotlessly clean! The baristas even took time to help me learn what drink combinations were the best for me 🖤”

“I hate leaving reviews but I’m kinda upset I feel like I need a refund the actual ingredients in my sub was great the bread was just so hard I couldn’t enjoy my sandwich”

“Smells yummy when you walk in.
Friendly staff. Menu is easy to read with large print. Stocked options. Restaurant is clean. Location seems simple enough, I wasn’t in town long enough to get to know the area. Overall good first time visit to any firehouse subs. Sandwich came well packed in its own disposable dish, that’s a nice feature I wasn’t expecting.

Edit: I’m not a fan of the honey ham. I found the ham too sweet and downgraded the overall sandwich experience.
I also looked over the receipt and see I was charged $1.50 for a pickle spear, now I will say the pickle spear was unexpectedly more flavorful. The zest of garlic and pickling spices added a nice touch to the meal, but shame on the restaurant for charging $1.50 for a spear and not even letting the customer know there was an extra charge.

Star deduction for the ham and the uninformed up charge.”

“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!”

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

“Went through the drive through and was cheerfully greeted by Susan SHES amazing great customer service and absolutely hilarious!!! Will definitely be coming back!”

“Whenever I'm in Sumter, SC I make sure I stop at Ginza Grill Japanese Restaurant! They don't disappoint. The atmosphere, food and service is soo good. Since I was introduced to Ginza, some menu items I've experienced during various visits are sushi, hibachi, ramen, fried rice, and a poke bowl. All of these dishes are flavorful and the price can't be beat!”

“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.”

“Typical mall food court Chinese joint, with generous portion sizes and affordable pricing, but the rice noodles are the best I have ever tasted. Ever. Seriously. If you eat here, do yourself a favor and get the rice noodles as your side.”

“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”

“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!!”

“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”

“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”

“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.”

“Not one to review, however, my experience warrants one. Izzy, the new store manager, was accommodating, understanding, welcoming, and enthusiastic - including recommending top tier customizations - to our order. She not only was warm hearted to me but also her staff. Easily the most gracious coffee shop, nevertheless Starbucks, I’ve been to.”

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

“My husband and I came here for an all you can eat night out without the kids and it did not disappoint. The food is good and if you like trying new things they have it. The service was excellent considering we didn’t have to wait in any lines and the atmosphere is laid back and quiet today I only see a couple of other families here. Overall I enjoyed the restaurant and would recommend it to all.”

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