Restaurants in Santee

“First, I love this area. Even thinking about relocating. I travel several times a year up and down 95. I was looking for a good deli sandwich. I saw the sign on 95 and prayed that it wasn't a dirty whole in the whole disguised as a deli shop. Have to be careful of some of these local places when traveling. When I pulled in there were several cars in the lot and people where coming in and going out. As I entered, I was blasted with the smell of warm toasted, followed by the sweetest greeting ever with a beautiful smile. The place is not that big maybe about 7 to 10 tables. As I looked around I noticed the other patrons smiling, talking, and eating. Atmosphere was pleasant. I decided to order a Craig's Club ( can never go wrong with a club). OMG I tasted the love, hard work, and dedication in that club sandwich. Good fresh deli meat, variety of cheeses to pick from. Bacon fried to perfection and the potato salad..........the potato salad was good y'all and y'all know how we feel about potato salad. Great food, warm and inviting atmosphere, excellent customer service. If y'all are in this area, go check them out.. you will not be disappointed. Thanks Craig's deli for unbelievable service and great food. I will stop by on my next adventure.”

“First of all. Looks like The Breakfast Nook has recently moved and is now inside The Rodeway Inn. Seems like the name is different as well as my receipt showed “Rodeway Cafe” as the name as did a previous google reviewer. A large window decal stills says The Breakfast Nook. Beyond that, wife and I had an excellent breakfast there. Portion size is very generous! Food was very tasty and cooked just right. Our server was very friendly. The restaurant itself is large and clean. Wasn’t very busy but I suspect the location and lack of clear signage is confusing people. We drove all the way around the hotel before realizing it was inside. Overall, an enjoyable meal.”

“I was visiting my boyfriend’s family and needed a break(from him, not them) so I rolled up around 45 mins before closing and you would’ve thought they had 4 more hours! The service and the extra mile was top notch! The food…Aaaahmazing! I ordered the brim (iykyk) and initially was told they were out but the server went and found some herself and Babay…it was off the chain! I’m just mad they’re closed today lolOne of the sweet ladies made me a drink and they were cool with me just chilling there, and the prices were MORE than reasonable!”

“Paisley was our server. She was excellent. Very attentive and friendly.Had the Whole Crispy Flounder. Delicious. I always order it when it is available. This restaurant never disappoints.”

“We loved our stay at Clark’s Inn. The rooms were nice and clean. Very dog friendly. Free breakfast was also included for each morning. We ate breakfast everyday, and ate dinner one night. The food was amazing and service was spectacular. If we ever come back this way we will definitely stay here again.”

“The CLARK'S INN is a local historic icon which has stood like a gem among the encroaching hustle and bustle of the "modern " world. It is an absolutely marvelous repite for anyone heading north or coming south on the I-95!I have not had the pleasure of staying here (their Bed & Breakfast stay packages look reasonable) but every chance I get I stop to stroll through their fascinating gift shop, beautiful old hallways and relish in their antique dining areas.The bar had the friendly and efficient PAM (THANKS!!!) who brought out a delicious chicken salad sandwich on a crispy ciabatta bun. This filled me up and I could only have a bit of the delicious APPLE CRISP which I finished later from my take-away box.(THANK YOU CHEF and the kitchen staff!!!)SO happy this place has survived all these years, and especially after the COVID problems. If you are ever in the area I seriously suggest you treat yourself.Food & drinks: Read my review...............”

“This place was great. We got the Cream Cheese jalapeños poppers, and the corn dog bites, and they were both delicious. Our server Heather, was incredibly attentive and friendly, and the pool tables have great felt on them. I will also say, I saw a review below that they don’t welcome people of color, but during our time here(3 hours), there was a person of color at the bar having a good time the entire time, so I’m not sure what that’s about. 5/5 We’ll be back. 3/2024Parking: Parking wraps around the entire business.Kid-friendliness: Not kid friendly. It’s a bar.Wheelchair accessibility: There’s no auto doors.”

“This has become my go-to place for chinese take-out. The food is always prepared consistently well. The staff is cordial and welcoming. Their prices are very reasonable.”

“Taco Tuesday on our way home from Maryland to Florida. Excellent service, excellent food, we had a speedy Gonzalo’s and 2 taco Tuesday taco specials. They both hit the spot after driving for several hours. If you on I95 nearing Santee definitely stop by for food and a margarita! we will be back!”

“We pulled off many exits trying to find somewhere good to eat on our travel. Well this is the place! We had such a great time, that we will make sure we can hit it on the way back. Even met the Owner. Very nice man! Food and drinks were excellent! Wait staff was excellent! Prices were great! Definitely need to put this place on your list!”

“If ever in SC, stop by Alleanas, Tim the owner cooks up some tasty food, the catfish was moist n very good, cooked just right, Sweet juicy shrimp ?, the fried okra, n 5 cheese n mac was the bomb. Oh did I mention the sticky wings perfect. Just wish we had food like this in Las Vegas NV!. P& D Jager.”

“Ordered Pad See Ew and it was by far one of the best Pad See Ews I have ever had. All of the veggies and noodles were perfectly cooked and lightly charred. Service was great and the owners aven came out and asked what I thought of my meal. Portion size was HUGE. Highly recommend paying Thai House a visit”

“For a waffle house, this location is terrific. Food is consistent and fast, even on weekends.. plus the service staff is super accommodating. It's our go-to in the neighborhood.”

“The server was the best part. Restaurant had a small brownout while we were there. Server said they've not had soup for a while. In fact, I overheard another server right off the bat tell their customers what they were out of. My wife ordered the Buffalo ranch chicken on Mac and cheese($11.49) 3 small tenders in a small bowl of Mac. Nothing like the picture, wife not impressed. The place just had a sad vibe.”

“Went to three different fast food places in Santee, terrible service and wait times, and honestly kinda scary watching these employees working or trying to, so went to Subway, quite there too but they were absolutely the best Subway I've been to. They obviously must own the store and I hope they do well, they deserve it, there's a reason they're four stars and everyone else is 1-2 stars.”
