“This is chef’s kiss perfection and a much-deserved review! A girl coming from the pizza capitol of the USA, I’ve had a lot of pizza in my life—but nothing prepared me for the culinary masterpiece that is the Peachy Keen Pizza at the Simpsonville location. This isn’t just food—it’s a full-blown flavor experience. From the first bite, I was transported. The base is brushed with a fragrant rosemary garlic oil that sets the stage with earthy, aromatic depth. Then come the sweet, sun-kissed local peaches, their juicy brightness cutting through the richness like a summer breeze. Just when you think it can’t get better, in comes the savory prosciutto, thin and perfectly crisped, adding a salty, umami punch that balances the sweetness like a dream. And then—feta cheese. Tangy, creamy, and just crumbly enough to melt into the other ingredients, it ties everything together with a Mediterranean flair. But wait, there’s more: a balsamic glaze drizzled with the precision of an artist, adding a dark, syrupy tang that elevates every bite. Fresh basil leaves bring a pop of green and a burst of herbal freshness, while their signature spicy honey finishes it all off with a sweet heat that lingers just long enough to make you crave the next bite. This pizza is bold. It’s balanced. It’s brilliant. It’s the kind of dish that makes you pause mid-bite, look around the room, and say, “Are you tasting this?!” If you’re anywhere near Simpsonville, do yourself a favor and get to this spot. The Peachy Keen Pizza breaks the rules and rewrites them with elegance and flair. Trust me—your taste buds will never be the same.”

“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!”

“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!”

“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!”

“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!!!”

“We had lunch at the Whistle Stop on Labor Day. The service was welcoming and wonderful! The food was delicious and just what we ordered. We also enjoyed the live music on the rooftop. My husband and I would definitely stop by again when traveling through Travelers Rest, SC.”

“My son and I enjoyed our 1st experience at Molina’s today! We dined in for lunch,the food was amazing, and the service was superb! We will be back 🤠”

“We love the food as much as the people at Tandem - or is it the other way around? Either way, Tandem is our “happy place!” Sitting at the counter and watching their well-oiled machine in action is amazing. They have crepe and coffee making down to a science - and the smiles of the crew are an art form that glorify God!”

“Great coffee! But also a great spot for those who are not coffee fans. Chai latte and cold options are 😋🤤”

“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. 🙌🏼”

“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.”

“Great food. Everyone is so accommodating”

“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.”

“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!”

“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.”

“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!”

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

“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!! ??”

“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.”

“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... ?”

“Really good subs and pizza. Worth the stop.”

“This place is absolutely Amazing!”

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

“Came in for my lunch today at around 1:30 and Tee was there and greeted me with a big smile! She is always so so sweet and kind and does her job very well! Us in the Walmart Pharmacy absolutely adore her!”

“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.”

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

“Great place,great service”

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

“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!!”

“My car battery died an untimely death in the drive thru. The workers were so kind and pushed me all the way to the end where we could work on the car and get it running again. Thank you so much. 10/10 would break down here again.”

“What can you say about a normal visit to Starbucks? These folks were friendly and always happy to serve us. My advice for visitors? Always get an extra shot of espresso, your cardiologist will thank me.”
