Restaurants in Sumter

“We ate there twice while in town for a funeral. Everything we ate was exceptional. My only disappointment was with the fact that they are extremely unaccommodating for the smallest request from the menu. For example, on the brunch menu you offer a side of scrambled eggs, but can’t add cheese to the eggs. And it’s not like you don’t have it. You have cheese for other ingredients for other dishes.”

“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 service fast friendly environment”

“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…”

“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 went to Chuck E Cheese's this past weekend just to make memories. I had fun playing some games, eating pizzas, and seeing at least animatronics before they took it out!

This Chuck E Cheese's will be upgraded in a little while, so the Animatronics will be removed ?

The Only place to see the Animatronics are in a Chuck E Cheese's Location in Pineville, NC (South of Charlotte near I-77 & I-485 near the South Carolina Border)”

“We come here for Oktoberfest and have a great time. This bar is really nice. There is games to play, food to eat, and plenty of beer to drink. I could see being here all the time if I lived up here.”

“wonderful place for a good time.”

“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!”

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

“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.”

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

“My food was amazing and customer service was the best I've had in a very long time. Dawn was so easy to chat with and did a awesome job with suggestions. Will definitely be going back again soon!”

“Everything you would expect from a BWW restaurant. Glad i took the bartender's advice because the cheese curds were amazing. Friendly staff, decent food, and struggling to find a seat for 1 person (this was the third week in a row I went for football, and the only time I found a seat... at the end of the bar). Pro tip: Show up early. Seriously.”

“Great customer service, great location and wonderful coffee”

“I started a job downtown so I've been to brubakers more than ever. Every single employee has been kind, even when they are super busy. Sandwiches are good and the mochas.”

“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.”

“The food was delicious, the service was great. Go check them out.”

“The food was good but there were discrepancies. My husband and I ordered the same thing but I got more of one item and he got more of another one. Also the fried chicken was two different sizes and was noticeable different. I gave my husband the bigger piece. Other than that, we enjoyed the food and all three waitresses did a great job with being attentive.”

“good food & great service”

“The cleanest buffet restaurant I’ve ever stepped foot in. I’m visiting and stopped by here and immediately feel in love! Beautiful staff and so friendly! The food is so amazing! I wished I lived here I would come back often! Keep up the great work!”

“PhoThai Street Food & Bakery was SO GOOD! The employee that helped us was the sweetest, and the Pad Thai was a huge serving and absolutely delicious. The bao buns, baked items, and desserts all looked really good. The art on the walls is so impressive, and they also have a few shelves of Thai grocery items that you can shop. I would definitely recommend, and I will be back!”

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

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

“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.”

“I dare anyone to find better brisket, ribs, or smoke sausage! Side bar is no joke. Incredible bbq, great service, and the Kentucky Waterfall drink complimented everything perfectly. Best restaurant in Sumter.”

“My family ordered takeout tonight. We ordered some wings, ramen, the sesame chicken, & a side of kimchi. Literally everything was so great! Lived here for almost 3 years and had no idea we had such an awesome choice to get food from. We always go to Columbia! 10/10 ordering again.”

“Teppanyaki Cafe's building might not be fancy but the interior is very welcoming and the food was delicious. I had the steak and shrimp hibachi and it was perfect. Staff wax very friendly.”

“The food is always terrific!!”

“Great food. Great atmosphere. Great service.”

“Great smoothies with organic ingredients.”

“The waitress in the is very friendly. They quickly get to seating and taking your order.
The employees that are cooking make your food flavorful. Not to salty. I enjoy the grits, 1 egg, sausage, and toast tray.
It has a warm, family-friendly environment. I have enjoyed it everytime I go.
I recommend you try this business.

Kid-friendliness: It's a place u can go with your kids. The people have respectable conversations that even kids can hear.
It's not a very large place, so I don't suggest letting your kids run around.

Wheelchair accessibility: There is a ramp out front. They have tables with pull out ? so u could fit a ♿️ to the table”

“Great food, recommended for anyone who loves seafood (and chicken wings). Ordered the fish chicken special, 5 chicken wings and 3 pc fish, $12.95. Pick your choice of fish when you order; whiting, tilapia, flounder and there are fish choices that I didn't catch (see photos for the fish choices). Also a choice of hot sauce on the fish. It took about 30-45 minutes but it may have been less than that because we left and came back to pay and pick up. What's also great about this place is the fish is cooked fresh. Cash and debit/credit cards are accepted. Two sitting tables by the door can be used to enjoy your food. Bottled drinks are $2.49 and they have tea lemonade for $1.95.

We paid $30.88 for our meal and 2 drinks. Pretty affordable and a lot of locals support this business. So support local! ??

Parking: Limited space for parking.”

“The food is impeccable their fish is the best in town those little old ladies cooking really know Jesus!!!”

“Great service an awesome wings.”

“So clean. Such nice staff. So much food for the price! This is definitely my new go to place for wings and other stuff on the menu. Best of luck to your business.”

“Overall, a great place to pick up some local BBQ quick and head home to eat and relax.
Pros: Good food with healthy servings and a wonderful staff. My preference is the ribs and pulled pork. Enjoy the potato salad, slaw, and rice with hash for an extra tasty meal.
Cons: The chicken just looked soggy. If you add sauce (told it was house BBQ but was a little spicy), prepare for some extra added vinegar. I understand this is the south, but a vinegar base does not mean that's all BBQ should taste like. Without sauce, it's excellent, though. The dining room is large and unimpressive, however perfectly functional. It's BBQ, not a high-end restaurant.”

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

“Fast friendly service. Our waitress was very nice.”

“Delicious Hash, Rice, Slaw, and Potato Salad. I grabbed a BBQ sandwich that I'll be trying later and plan to head back to try their banana pudding and lemonade.”

“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 ...”

“Food was excellent and the service was awesome.”

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

Kid-friendliness: Good kid meals

Wheelchair accessibility: Roll right up to the truck”

“We just had lunch here. The food was fantastic. My husband had the steak burrito which was so pretty. It came with a white queso on it. I had the chili relleno, the chili was fire roasted and had a farmers type cheese inside and on top. It had a bite to it and was very refreshing. The rice had corn in it and a really nice flavor. The beans were the right consistency and delicious. At the end of our meal, the waitress brought us a piece of Tres Leche cake. It was so light and so delicious. I highly recommend this restaurant for your next Mexican craving.”

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

“This place is a true hidden gem of Sumter. Food is great, staff is wonderful. Consistently done within 20 minutes of calling in even when I have special requests. I won’t go to any other pizza place in Sumter. Thank you! PS- ask for your pizza extra toasty!!!!”

“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.”

“Katherine (and the food) at Sambino's Bistro was so great tonight! So much cheesy goodness on the pizzas, rolls were dripping in garlic butter, fried pickles extra crunchy, and refilled drinks the entire time. She was so well mannered with the yes maams and no sirs... that was refreshing on its own! We'll be back!”

“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. ?”

“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!”

“The food is always fresh, I recommend the curry chicken and rice. With some lemonade The owner is very sweet every time I come in. One of the best restaurants in Sumter”

“I love this place I used to go all the time yrs ago when I was going to Morris college and I'm surprised at how delicious and cheap they still are the wait is a little long best to call in but it's definitely worth I got the honey fried chicken combo I had rice for ”

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

“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 ?”

“As far as fast food goes, this is about as good as you can get. I especially like that this restaurant is extremely clean and the employees are super friendly and helpful. I’ve liked everything I’ve tried from the menu, with the exception of the ice cream.”

“A classic Asian restaurant, whst sets them apart is quality ingredients, fair pricing and a friendly staff.

“Great food great people! Highly recommend!”

“I absolutely love this Starbucks. It’s down the street from my house and I go every day! The staff is wonderful and the atmosphere is very pleasant.

Vegetarian options: Cheese and fruits tray is yummy. Lots of other options too.

Kid-friendliness: They seem to love kids. My grandkids love it here.

Wheelchair accessibility: The doors are wide and the tables are at a decent height and well placed.”

“The food was GREAT. But they really need to figure out another way to direct the traffic. There’s cones all over the place and no signs telling you how to get through drive thru. I saw multiple people having to go in circles around the building just to finally make it into the order station.”

“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”

“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.”

“The food was pretty good. The only thing is the environment is so loud and ghetto. We ate here while in town for a work training. We I'll eat here again but not at night. I had th honey garlic wings. They were okay.”

“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!”

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

“Great pizza! The owner is super friendly and tries to get to know the customer. Remembers faces. This helps when getting your order ready as you walk in so there is no wait time. 5 out of 5”

“Absolutely delicious meals and desserts!!!”

“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!”

“"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."”

“This location offers consistently fresh food, and the staff is always professional. While the overall experience is decent, a bit more attention to cleanliness—both inside and out—would enhance the overall appeal. Nonetheless, I'd still recommend it for a satisfying meal.”

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

“Sitting down to eat now. How you going to serve this food and then say you are only open 3 days a week? Please give us the other 4 days. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️”

“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:)”

“Husband had this pizza years ago at a rural location. He completely forgot about it until seeing sign at a different location in another very rural area. I personally have never had it and I'm extremely picky when it comes to pizza. It's one of my favorite foods. Well he suggested I try it because he remembers loving it over a decade ago. So I agreed and got a simple pepperoni pizza and then drove 15 mins home. Only cost $11.99 plus tax for a 12" Pizza which is cheapest pizza I've ever purchased. I had to rewarm it which made me hesitant on the quality. I was totally wrong. THIS IS BY FAR THE BEST PIZZA I HAVE EVER EATEN. First purchase for me was yesterday and today I went out and bought 2 more. Great dough, sauce, cheese the works. I will forever be a Hunt Brothers Pizza only..”

“I've been coming here for close to 50 years, and it's always good. I especially love their breakfast buffet and try to hit it every time I'm in town on a weekend morning. It's been a while since I've been here for lunch or dinner, but it's always been clean, the food is good, and the service is friendly. There aren't many Shoney's left, so I hope this one stays around another 50 years.”
