“Nice tavern with local beers/ciders on tap and they serve yummy food on the weekends.“

“Always a pleasure to stop by when I'm on a river trip. Haven't eaten anything from there yet, but I did a little breakfast cooking in the back yard when I stayed with a friend in one of the cabins in back. Went back another time in a camper. Nice place and nice accommodations. Music and fun in the mountains.“

“take out was great. Food is very good. we are fairly new here. 1st time we dined in. Nice to find somewhere that is worth going back to. I rate it a 5.“

“Always a nice meal here. Our server Hali was very attentive and helpful. We skipped apps, and our salads were fresh and tasty. My 7oz filet was cooked perfectly (blue, the way I like it, and few restaurants get it right). The risotto was creamy and the broccoli rabe was nicely seasoned and not over cooked. The Cab Franc paired perfectly with my entree. My partner got the swordfish that was also perfectly cooked and well seasoned. The chips and guacamole really didn’t add anything to the dish, however, but it was fine. The dry Riesling was a nice pairing with this. We were seated not too far from the bar area. We forgot about Jazz on the Ally Thursday nights so it was packed and the bar area started to become very loud. Unfortunately there are quite a few privileged people in this area that feel being publicly drunk and obnoxiously loud is acceptable, even in a nicer restaurant. This isn’t the restaurants’ fault but it certainly impacts the quality of the atmosphere. Even Hali offered us a free dessert to make up for the interruption it caused, but we paid for our desserts anyway. We did suggest that there be automatic sliding doors fitted so that the noise could be contained in the bar area leaving the diners to enjoy their meals. Our desserts were also delightful. We had the banana brûlée and strawberry brûlée. Overall it was a very nice meal with very good service (which is hard to come by in this area).“

“Excellent service and delish food. Friendly atmosphere.“

“Great service and food . Coffee cup always full ! Omelette’s great , portions beat others similar pricing in area … know how to cook grits!“

“We are lucky to have this place so close. Love places like this. Love the people and their humor and how they get to know you…daughter is addicted to their chili cheese dogs! Love everything! Such generous helpings and you can’t beat the prices. So glad we ever stopped. It’s a favorite for sure!“

“The grounds are beautiful; the facilities are top-notch; the people (residents and staff) have been incredibly friendly and welcoming. We are thrilled and very grateful to be settled in such a wonderful area!“

“This place is absolutely charming, serving up delicious, hearty food. We stumbled upon it by chance while visiting our sons at Clemson University, and it’s now a “must-stop” spot whenever we’re in town.“

“I think that I have eaten at most of the Mexican restaurants in the area and I can say hands down, this place serves the best chicken fajitas and it is not even close. From the outside this place does not stand out enough and that concerns me. Food is just outstanding, but they need more visibiity“

“Food was excellent, Service was over the top.“

“First time eating there this past weekend and the food was good,service also. Very friendly staff. We will definitely go back.“

“Great food! McKenzie, our waitress was amazing! Will definitely be back!“

“The staff was really sweet and had a smile on their face constantly. The inside was clean and full of clemson memorabilia and photos and as an advent clemson fan.. I loved. The food was amazing and pretty affordable. I truly dont understand how it wasnt busier than it was with the prices and food. All in all we got 4 hot dogs, fries and drinks totalling around $22 which is amazing for all that. If you like hot dogs and havent tried them yet I fully recommend it“

“Casual spot where locals and travelers hang out. Love the karaoke.“

“I had lunch there today and the server, Brett was fantastic! Friendly, funny, knowlegable, and was an excellent server. Thanks Brett, you made our day!“

“Do you know you can always count on the waffle House for a great breakfast and service. Plus they're great for tracking hurricane damage. If the waffle house is open in that area it's safe to go if the waffle House is closed that's a stay away. I had my favorite the All-American almost more food than you can possibly fit in yourself.“

“The absolute best Waffle House I’ve ever been to. Wonderful, friendly staff, clean restaurant, and fast service. The food was excellent; I sat at the bar and watched the staff work as a team, like a well oiled machine. It’s truly rare in today’s time to see a team like the one I witnessed this morning. 10/10 recommend.“

“Eat here almost every Friday. Food is really good and the staff sometimes work short handed and they work hard to take care of everyone in a timely fashion. I thank each of you for your service.“

“Ok, so our server was amazing. Patient, kind, answered questions, very sweet, attentive to the table, and helpful when an order was egregiously wrong.

Food- it all felt... Pre manufactured. First the pasta was gross. Like gummy. A burger supposed to be well-done came out very unswr-cooked. Literally raw and cold in the middle and the outside was charred. I think the grill has hot spots or was overly hot.

Bartender was on point! Made drinks extremely well.“

“Food was great! We got the fish tacos (yum) & 2 painkiller drinks which were fabulous!! Bartender was super friendly & knowledgeable of drinks! They took extra care of us & were very attentive. Will definitely be back!! Great location:) it really highlighted our vacation!!! Thanks Tiki Hut Grill“

“As a wife of an engineer in the Nuclear Power industry I know first hand what it's like to live in a hotel for months on end. Many of his crew works night shift and Jim has been there himself. You get off work at 4 or 5 am and nothing is open. You can't shut your stomach off so you're left with gas station or vending machine food. Very small refrigerators in the hotel rooms so you can't stock up on much other than some deli meat and cheese. Yesterday while visiting my husband on the road, we stopped at one of our favorite places in Seneca The Spot on the Alley. They were closed, or so we thought. Just as we turned to walk away from the locked door a man came and unlocked it. He let us in and explained they were just finishing up a few renovations. He kept apologizing and if we didn't mind them cleaning up they could serve us shortly. He said they were running odd hours due to the outage and decided to get a few things done in between the busy hours. I told him we just wanted to get an appetizer as we already had dinner plans but we were hungry and it would be a few hours before we were able to eat. He served us a big bowl of queso and fresh chips. I ordered a drink from the bar and we sat and talked quietly watching them work to get things put away. So the man came back and handed us a menu and invited us to come back the next morning. Come to find out they open early for the outage workers. The Spot on the Alley opens at 5 am during outage season for night shift to be able to get something hot to eat after a long night of hardwork. I just have to mention how nice I think it is. The man did tell me he only purchased The Spot on the Alley a few months prior. We have so much respect for these little towns who host hundreds of Plant workers a few months out of the year. Not to many businesses take into account the shifts these men and women work and their sacrifices and the odd shifts often times put their good health into question. So thank you for opening early for night shift. Don't know who will see it but here's the menu.“
