“We had a lovely lunch on the back deck listening to acoustic music. It was so such a special experience. The food was beautiful and delicious and the staff was lovely. Can’t wait to go back!”

“Great place to pop in for excellent tacos after a walk on the swamp rabbit trail.

Sat at the bar for a few beers and tacos. They have some unique items and quick friendly service.

Everyone loves tacos and this is a great place to get some.”

“Great staff. Great beer. Dog friendly!”

“A great mom and pop cafe off the beatin’ path. They really make you feel welcome.”

“I absolutely love Sushi yama. I've been coming here since they've opened. This is the first place that introduced me to sushi. I've never had a bad sushi here. My husband and I came here for an omakasi for our anniversary. Chef Rick and all the staff were extremely nice and personable. The food was absolutely amazing and probably the best food that I've ever tasted. We are already planning our next omakasi with them!”

“Best cheese burger made my a really cute guy!”

“Simple, delicious Pho. Excellent service. Vegetables are very fresh, everything high quality + all the fine details down to the way the onions and herbs are sliced make this a top tier experience. Hidden gem of the upstate!”

“We love this charming winery in the woods! Everything about it is delightful. The owners are so nice and easy to talk to. The property is so peaceful! Their dog Lilly is precious. And the wine is devine!!!”

“Edited my own review after realizing I was hurting the brewery because of the customers near us talking so loudly about politics, which isn’t the fault of the brewery staff who were prompt and helpful! Give it a try and enjoy!”

“Great food. Everyone is so accommodating”

“We had a party of 10 stop in today 4/12/2025. We waited forever to get someone to wait on us. The food was terribly disgusting The pork chop looked like it had been in water for days and it smelled sour. 3 of us ordered Grilled pork chop Mashed potatoes, cream corn, Mac and cheese were nasty. The cucumber salad was slimy. pinto beans were straight out of the can not heated up or season at all. Someone in our party ordered a tuna sandwich that took forever it was straight out of a can no season at all we got it as we were leaving My first and last trip ever to this restaurant. We spent 80.00 and didn't even eat the food. We left the food on the table. We shouldn't have paid for it but we didn't want to argue so we got up paid and left. This restaurant needs to be closed down.”

“My husband and I ate here for valentines & it did not disappoint. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was perfect, and the staff were so polite!”

“I received a recommendation to stop here on my 2-week roadtrip and I’m so glad I did! Loved it!!! Wonderful food, friendly people. ❤️”

“Super cute coffee shop inside. The staff is always very cheerful, kind and fast. The coffee is delicious! ☕️ I also really appreciate the drive through window. 🙌🏼”

“Best chai lattes anywhere around!”

“Good food great service clean place to take your family.”

“The food is good, the service staff was very helpful and the atmosphere was typical of most Mexican restaurants that I go to. Our server barely spoke any English but she worked very hard to try and make the meal perfect. She was very good!”

“Everything I've ever eaten here has been delightful. We are GF (gluten free) and vegan. Sidewall has the best GF pizza Everrrr. Hands down. Also, every employee that I've encountered there is kind, patient, helpful and really wants to make sure you have a great experience. Even when they're super busy, Sidewall staff are always on top of things. I had a an over-the-top experience today at the Travelers Rest location in the afternoon, and I am oh-so-forever grateful for them today.”

“This was our second time at Coastal Crust and we had Rachel again as a server! I think she was the only server working, but we never felt neglected and she went above and beyond to make sure we always had water and that everything was okay and to our liking. The Italian salad and fig & prosciutto pizza are amazing!! Will definitely come back again, hopefully Rachel is working!! ??”

“Very good food great service”

“Had supper here last week with a friend. It was pretty good! I got the Rocky Balboa burger, and he got a Philly Cheesesteak. My burger had a fried egg and bacon on top. The bacon was VERY salty, so it overpowered the flavor of the burger itself. But the 8 oz of meat was juicy and tender. The onion rings were also delicious. It's definitely worth going back, in my opinion! Especially because they also have two, three, and four-patty burgers! Definitely want to try one of those sometime... ?”

“Been wanting to try this spot for a while and finally got around to it. Classic diner with the best prices in the area! Pancakes, bacon, eggs, biscuits were all great. Will be coming back!”

“Awesome food. I asked for Meatloaf and the owner placed it on the menu the next week. Great food and customer service. I wish they were open every day for supper.”

“Friendly down home service! Awesome and delicious food!”

“I want to commend the Pink Mama's Ice Cream bus driver. I personally witnessed him stop his vehicle at a crosswalk at 385 and West Georgia Rd. He helped an elderly lady cross the street in heavy traffic, ignoring his own safety to do the right thing. The best part was when the elderly lady got to the other side of the road he handed her an ice cream sandwich, free of charge. Anyway, these guys exemplify what being a civil servant is all about!!! Please contact them when you have an event.”

“Definitely worth a Whistle Stop.”

“We go here often. With my twin granddaughters. They eat well and love the candy machines too. Great place to eat!”

“The cook she was great, the server she was terrible. The server was not friendly at all, bad attitude when she brought our food on 8/10/22 at 6:45 pm the server never came to refresh our coffee and left the cook all alone with all the tables full. Manager needs to pull security and see this. For 25 minutes we never saw her again. We finished our meal and she still was not back. The cook was having to cook, clean tables. wait on customers, she was doing a great job. TR waffle house hope you look at your security footage.”

“OMG is 100 % delicious everything 😋🥰 love it 💖”

“Nate’s has great food and his employees are always friendly and very professional. I especially love the Steak Philly! Be sure to go see the Nate’s crew, you won’t regret it…”

“Petee's has always been our, "go to"for a quick bite when in town but today was not good. The wait at the drive through was long and the over cooked hamburgers were cold. I'm sorry Petee's I call it like I see it.”

“I was there today, and they made me a shake and a tea just let me say so amazing that I joined today go try them out”

“Great place,great service”

“Friendly staff, good portions with more then expected meat. Quite tasty and affordable. Skip the fast food and go here instead. ���”

“We stopped by 4/6/24 after leaving the car show at advance auto parts, and the staff was great! Ashley and another employee were nice enough to come out to our vehicle and check out the audio!! We definitely recommend this restaurant for a family friendly restaurant.”

“Wow!!! Food is incredible!! Service is amazing!!! What an awesome spot! 1st time today and will be back as much as possible!!”

“Always a home run when we eat here! The fried green tomato sandwich is amazing!”

“It is so nice to drive down the mountain and see civilization again. I am writing this review after all the storms and flooding from Helinie and it is clean, the food is hot, and credit cards work as well as their restrooms. Right now I could not ask for more.
