Restaurants in Clemson

“Great upscale when in Clemson! Love.”

“We sat at the bar and enjoyed our conversation with the clemson Senior, Lauren. The food and drinks were superb.”

“Love this place! Great atmosphere, indoor/outdoor, lots of different beer!! And live music!! 🎶 🍺”

“We had a wonderful Valentine's dinner at Rick Erwin's in Clemson and it truly made the evening special. From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere felt warm, welcoming, and perfectly suited for a celebration. The manager was especially impressive—efficiently greeting guests and checking on everyone who walked in, which set a great tone for the entire dining experience. For dinner, my husband enjoyed the Chilean sea bass, which was beautifully prepared, tender, and full of flavor. I ordered the filet paired with a crab cake, and both were outstanding—the filet was cooked perfectly and the crab cake was rich, fresh, and delicious. Our wine and cocktails complemented the meal wonderfully and added to the overall experience. Between the attentive service, exceptional food, and the thoughtful attention from management, Rick Erwin's made our Valentine's celebration memorable. We look forward to returning again soon.”

“If you order, ask for LAUREN!!! Genuinely a safe, personable staff member. Helped when my wallet was stolen one night, and besides the fact we didn’t find it, she assured me that there are thieves all over the place, And this is a common occurrence. I ordered A couple of drinks from her, and honestly, I might be biased, but they’re the best vodka sodas I’ve had. A dedicated employee that values service. Would trust her with my life honestly.

Management!! Give my girl a raise!”

“If your looking for great food, tasty drinks, and quality service then look no further.
I haven't had anything off the menu that wasn't great.”

“This is our go to place to stay when visiting Clemson. The staff is always friendly and willing to help accommodate every situation. Pets are treated just as welcome, they understand they are part of the family too. The rooms are sized perfectly to stretch out but still small enough to be cozy.”

“Uber driver decided to not deliver my order and give up. Uber support sucks butt. Called insomnia and they remade it and sent it out with no questions or issues. Love them. Thank you. Saved my night 🫶”

“Attractive decor, great service but the bread loaf was very hard on the ends and the Beef Wellington was just Ok, usually mushrooms are on the inside and not added as a side also, and I didn't taste the a dijon flavor on the outside. The whole dish was dark and heavy. Some color on the plate would look more appetizing possibly. We would return to try again.”

“Restaurant 356 is a good spot in Clemson. The place is clean, the staff is professional, and the food came out fast. I ordered the California roll and the Volcano roll — both were fresh and tasted good. No complaints. If you're looking for sushi in the area, this place gets the job done. I'd go back.”

“One of thee best places I've ever had for sushi!!!! I was there with my family as a dinner celebration for my niece Gwen's graduation tomorrow (5/23/2026).

I got to try some food I've never had (zucchini, asparagus, Yellowfin, etc.), but I will say that there was a bit too much cucumber on the eel roll....

If I'm ever in town again, I'm definitely returning with the rest of my family!!!!”

“Thank you for the awesome service after a horrible flight back to HI situations w/GSP. Love more time in Clemson with my sister!!”

“We dropped in with about twenty people after a wrestling tournament on Saturday February the first and the employees and manager were awesome. Very accommodating and patient and helpful. The pizzas we ordered were delicious. One of our little wrestlers caused a spill and the manager was right out and helped clean up. I will definitely be back when we come back here”

“Awesome great tasting coffee!! With a VERY helpful staff that is so accommodating!! Extremely cute layout with plenty of places to sit to catch up with friends and family. The White Coyote Iced Coffee is absolutely wonderful!!!”

“I went today when Clemson Apartments was hosting an open tab and the workers were amazing! There was a huge line of people but they were cranking out drinks like crazy, all while seeming super calm and happy! 😊 Kylee has been there pretty much everytime I have visited and always has a smile on her face, one of sweetest workers 😁”

The entire staff are absolutely Amazing 😍, loved the wait staff(Daniela), the food and the atmosphere 😀. I'm definitely going back again. Daniela, Thanks for the fabulous tremisu cake, it was delicious 😋. On a scale of 1(worst) to 10(best), they are an 11(mind blowing delicious) !!! Definitely a favorite place to eat at !!”

“Mellow Mushroom is much more than just a pizza chain—it’s a psychedelic, art-filled experience that leaves you hypnotized by the explosive flavor of their pies. If you value a high-quality, chewy crust and creative, "out-there" toppings, Mellow Mushroom is elite. It’s not just a meal; it’s a state of mind.”

“In town visiting and stopped by for a treat! Absolutely the best ice cream! They have something for everyone! Andee and her staff are AWESOME! If you’re in Clemson stop by and support local! Trust me you won’t be disappointed!”

“its,been fun the people are great.”

“Nostalgic hamburger joint. Older clientele will remember when this was the norm and younger clientele can experience how things were when life was a lot slower pace.”

“Had lunch today with my wife. The sandwiches were Excellent My wife had the Reedy Rueben and she said that her sandwich was the best that she ever had. I had the Italian sandwich and it was delicious and the best that I have ever had!! The staff was very polite and courteous. We will definitely be back!!”

“Sunnyside Cafe was the perfect place for my daughters baby shower today! Excellent food, quality service & Crystal was amazing to work with! My 20 guests had a wonderful experience and I highly recommend SunnySide!”

“went by boat Saturday. excellent pizza. a lot of toppings. everything was perfect. very polite employees. quick service. plenty of dock parking in individual slips. came with our dog. shaded covered patio with outdoor ceiling fans. very comfortable.”

“Nothing beats eating a tasty and juicy sandwich after attending a college football game. This place makes wonderful sandwiches. I had one with melted cheese, chips, and a soda. Service was very good. Students working the restaurant. Unfortunately, the inflation has shrunk the sandwich sizes along with the meat in them. This is true everywhere now. Make me reminisce fondly about the days we were served big sandwiches with lots of meat and cheese in them. Parking was plentiful and free.”

“Amazing food and service!! Chef Eric Pollard’s food is amazing”

“Wow!! I loved my açaí bowl I got here. It had a wonderful combination of flavors and fruits, along with a satisfying amount of crunchy granola. Best açaí bowl I’ve had, and I dream about it while I sleep. If you’re in the town of Clemson and are craving a cold, refreshing, and sweet açaí bowl, go here.”

“So amazing my first time there and staff were so wonderful food was delish and fresh ! I will be bak very soon! Thank u !”

“We visited for the first time today & were quite impressed ~ I suspect we will become big fans! We went to their charter location, now one of five locations; the variety in tasty offerings, as well great artisan-made organic skin & health concoctions, along with jewelry, pottery, & leather goods were quite unexpected. Highly recommend 👍🏻👍🏻”

“I love eating here. The pizza is so good and aways fresh. Destiny was my server and she is awesome! Ask for her and be prepared to be amazed! Destiny is awesome!”

“Great college bar vibes. Food/Kitchen is always on point. Bartenders are the best. Always a “for sure” lunch stop when we’re in Clemson!!”

“Love this place!! Haven’t had a dish I didn’t love! Burritos, tacos, enchiladas, and guacamole are my favorite! I hope to try the flan next time!”

“Real quality gyro meat, and incredible homemade desserts!!!! Great vibe you can trust is authentic”

“Food was absolutely amazing ! Friendly staff , but what we didn't know is it is located in Clemson University s food hall , my daughter's and I weren't going to go home empty handed though it was over 2 hour drive for us , this affects the parking which is of course terrible , but it was so worth it ! Not sure if you need an id to get it normally but we didn't have a problem”

“Went here for my birthday. Menu has something for everyone. The sushi was so fresh! We all loved our meals. This is definitely a place I’d return! Thank you all for the kind service and friendly atmosphere!”

“Very good 😊 Recommended good friendly service”

“This was a nice surprise to find on campus at the Walker golf course. We expected overpriced food and a stuffy atmosphere, but this was anything but! There is a nice view of Lake Hartwell and an open air feel when the pass-through window is open. The food was exactly what we were looking for in a lunch spot (sandwiches, salads, bites, etc) and at a great price. I read reviews about the portions being generous and found that to be true. Definitely a spot we will visit again!”

“it,is hands down the best restaurant ive ever visited in 3 years now ratings are 20 out of 20 stars the staff are brilliant and they know how to make me laugh every day my reactions to the karaoke fanbases so incredibly loud happy i will visit you guys very soon 1 week left i will cu guys next year august again thank you for hosting me having me and hearing my story about mee and i promise you that you will see mee one more year 4 incredible years here at clemsonlife university fantastic luck this may you got this

“BEST Marco's pizza location!! The staff is exceptional and go above and beyond for their customers!! Big shout out and Thank You to George!! He should be employee of the year! He helped make my Mom's birthday the best ever! She's ready to adopt him because he was so kind to her and went out of his way for her birthday wish. You're the best George!!”

“Great college bar! Must come here.”

“My view during the Morgan Wallen concert. For Christmas the girl's got tickets to Morgan Wallen, so tonight I was the driver. I ended up parking a few blocks from this restaurant and walked over after the crowd died down. Everything was excellent from the service from my waitress to the quality of the food.”

“Great food, better service.”

“Well this is just a little funny story, we were visiting family in Georgia and my sister decided to surprise my nephew with Panda so she looked it up and it gave her this one but she didn't notice that this is a university's panda and so we headed to it.. getting there she paid for parking which I told her that maybe it was going to be closed because it was a weekend inside a university and low and behold, yes it was but we didn't find out until she had paid for parking and went in, Google maps got it wrong because it said that it was open. Then she looked up to see if there was another one and yes there was and closer than where we went to so we just laughed at her and headed to that one and my nephew got his Panda.”

“I ordered a Bacon Ranch Chicken Cheese Steak the other day and I am still in disbelief on how good that tasted. I had to call up just to see who made my meal… Mrs. Alyssa my taste buds are in love. Jersey Mikes has just became my #1 restaurant. God bless!”

“I mean the service is good enough anywhere I have went, but the food and shakes are my favorite "fast food" of anywhere I have ever been ever. JUST GO and get a oreo milkshake!! Service could always use work in a college town. But that's ok.”

“Esso was so so good to us during the George Strait concert pregame. Their staff worked harder than I've ever seen and did everything to accommodate people in a crazy environment!! Top notch! Highly recommend!!”

“of all the years that I've been eating pizza I remember when Columbus was brand new and Mark opened it three different buildings ago it was amazing and it still is nobody has sauce like his Nobody Does the crust like him, I don't live anywhere near Clemson now and that stinks cuz I'm really craving this pizza”

“Had to find another Chinese place since moving to SC over a year ago, and I have always been happy with my orders.A very decent place to go for Chinese.The lady upfront is very efficient and I enjoy seeing her.”

“this has got to be the best tacos in Clemson 6 Mile or Central and where else can you get tacos for a 1.25 every Tuesday please check them out”

“The employees are super friendly and helpful The hot dogs are delicious, Thanks.”

“Best Food Service Ever (just a little expensive but GOOD valuable customer service)!!!! I recommend anyone to go there rather than all Starbucks shops oncampus. Because, I’d tried to pay cash for the first time there, but they said no, and I did the same thing for this place and they were so humble and nice that they gave everything I’d needed for FREE ?”

“This was my first time eating Firehouse Subs and also using their rewards app. The experience was very easy and fast. Someone in my party was also ordering a sub in person as part of the May 6th Mike's Steak and Cheese Melt promotion, their experience was just as friendly. Both orders were delivered accurately. Can't wait to go back.”

“Idk what the smell was but it was awful as soon as you walk in. Service was great & the food was okay. I just couldn’t get past the smell of the restaurant. Really ruined the whole experience.”

“Food is always good and the service is always great”

“I normally just order ahead at this Starbucks but today I ordered in person and was met with exceptional customer service! The workers were so kind complementing my name and outfit along with getting my food and drink out quickly. Truly brightened my day and made me want to order in person more often just based off the kindness of the workers alone.”

“I absolutely love this place! The hibachi is so good! The amount of food you get for your money is why I keep going back! I used to get from another place where I got far less food, until I ate here I will forever go back! The taste is also good I would have to say my only desire would be that their yum yum was thicker I assume they water it down to make it go further but still pretty good regardless! I haven’t ate inside yet but as far as take out 10 out of 10 recommend!”

“Amazing service, the establishment has such a welcoming outside environment which is perfect for having a drink and catching up with friends. They really display their love for the Clemson tigers through their color scheme, murals, and events happening weekly. Wouldn’t want to relax during the day or enjoy my night anywhere else!”

“Super yummy coffee! The turtle is my favorite, hot and iced. Great atmosphere.”

“This is my favorite Burger King I’ve been to. Staff are always great and food is always fresh. My only complaint is I wish the tables were more clean. Everytime my family and I go here there are crumbs all over the tables. Other than that the staff are incredible.”
