“Stopped by here on the way home from a long, rough road trip as a joke because of the name. We were not dressed fancy and had our kids in tow and they were still incredibly kind and the food was hot, delicious, fresh, and the best part of the last week vacation we’ve had. Portions were large and made the prices feel worth it. We will have to stop by here again, even if it is 2 1/2 hours from home. Thank you all!!!!”
“I took myself in a Solo Date for my Birthday! Thanks to Erin, my server, who made my evening perfect. The food and atmosphere are perfect. Thank you!”
“My husband and I finally got to enjoy a date night and we are so happy we chose Isla’s! Everything was absolutely delicious, we had appetizers, entrees and shared the most amazing dessert. The service was fantastic, truly can’t say enough about our experience! Can’t wait to go back!”

“I love dray bar! Peaceful space with light music, great food and drinks! I like to go here and study if in person class was canceled. I love their Au poivre fries and the jack Daniel’s blackberry mule”

“We live in WNC, and we came here a month ago. Everything we tried was so good and there was so much more to try that we came back tonight. Everything on the menu is a 10/10. So much variety, amazing atmosphere, wonderful staff. Such a hidden gem! The pickled okra is one of the best and most creative appetizers I have had in a long time. It's a great place to bring kids too!”
“Quite literally my favorite spot to eat now. Please don't take the Birria tacos off the menu because I'm obsessed. 😍 My husband loves the Willy Quesadilla. You guys have something super unique and special, and I'm so glad I found you! Although I haven't dined in yet, and all my experience has been via food delivery with Doordash, everything has always been on point. From the street corn to the brisket egg rolls to the street corn fritters...it's all delish. Keep it coming! CHEF'S KISS!”
“Had a wonderful experience for my 65th birthday my friend had sent me roses and a cake he was unable to accompany my family and I for dinner but they were very professional and excited just like I was to get the Roses and birthday cake I would definitely recommend them not only for the food but for their Hospitality their professionalism and they're eagerness to enjoy the fun of birthdays❤️”
“I have always enjoyed coming to Mon Amie and have highly recommended it to dozens of people. My early birthday breakfast with my cousin was nothing short of amazing until we were very rudely interrupted by the hostess. She proceeded to ask us about our meal as if she really cared, then very abruptly told us to basically leave because there was a party outside with a baby that needed to be seated because of the very cold weather. I love babies and while I hate to think of it being exposed to cold weather, that's not our problem. My cousin drove an hour to eat with me and we were treated as if their discomfort was our emergency and we needed to act accordingly. This was my cousin's very first experience in this restaurant and probably her last! Our dining experience matters just as much as the next person's, please do better! I want to stress the fact that we were not asked nicely, we were told. Demanded if you will! And yes we are black and they weren't! When I spotted the family with the baby I could see that they were sitting directly beside the heat lamp on the patio and they seem to be enjoying conversation amongst each other, so it was definitely the hostess that did everything besides basically push us out the door! Needless to say we moved on before we were ready to because we will not be where we aren't wanted!”
“We have been to FR8T Yard many times, but last night’s band Randomonium was AWESOME! Please invite them back! The beers and ciders were cold and flowing, and the Yard Hooch is a must-try!! Love the pretzels too! For those of you who haven’t been, what have you been waiting for?! Great place to meet up with friends anytime!!”
“Wow quality of food has improved so much since we were last here. Had lunch my $19 express chicken schnitzel was delicious and perfect portion. My husband got the $25 steak which was cooked just the way he liked. Staff were friendly and we had great service. Only small downfall was the coke was terrible. Highly recommended.”
“This place is organized clean parking lot clean bathrooms clean the restaurant is clean and the service is great is expensive is not cheap depends how much you want to spend and money in this place”
“I would like to say that I had an issue with a bartender one evening BUT Travis Donavan , manager, called me the very next day and gave me his full attention. This bar is one of Spartanburg’s most lovely settings in town and the food in restaurant is excellent. The staff has always been professional and friendly. Sometimes folks just have bad days…”
“First time here and it was amazing. Got there early to eat at the bar and was impressed with the Samsung phone chargers at each stool. Then the food and drinks were phenomenal! So cool to be able to watch the food being prepared from my seat! 10/10 for food and experience! kudos!!!”

“We came a bit early and there were very few crowds, by 8pm it was definitely turning up. Had the pretzel bites and the loaded eggroll both were very good. Drinks were good but pour(strength) varied upon which bartender was making the drink. Atmosphere was clean and relaxed.”
“i can’t remember the name of our server, but he was so sweet and so good at his job. he was tentative, kind, patient and funny. he did some magic tricks which impressed my whole family including my 11 month old nephew. lovely experience and lovely server. thank you! :)”
“I cannot give enough praise for the service we received this evening by our server, Meleny. She is tremendous! I swear she can read minds because we never had to ask for anything, she just knew how to make this the best dinner possible. Fresh rolls, plenty of sauces, never an empty cup, picture perfect plate presentations; you name it! On top of that, her personality is one of a kind. She is so bright and by the end of the meal I felt like we could be best friends. Texas Roadhouse always has excellent food but this was the best experience dining out anywhere because of Meleny's service. We will be making the drive from Simpsonville to Spartanburg far more often now because of her. She handles the service industry so well; always keeping a smile on her face even when the restaurant stays so busy. My husband ordered the filet medallions with green beans and chilli and I ordered the smothered chicken with broccoli and a salad. I highly recommend both dishes.”
“Beautiful venue I really enjoyed the food and the hospitality was awesome I can’t wait to return”

“I fully believe this to be the best Waffle House I have ever been to. The staff were very welcoming and continued to clean as they went. The staff didn’t leave each server to their own table but instead helped each other and checked in with other tables if they thought they may need something. However, what I enjoyed the most was the atmosphere. Regulars that have been coming here for 10 years were joking with staff and vice versa. It felt welcoming and at home. If I lived closer, this would be a regular weekend treat.”
“Honestly could not be happier that Whataburger is in Spartanburg. The food was fantastic and the service can't be beat. I know fast food is fast food but somehow they found a way to step it up without breaking the bank in the process. 10/10 will continue going back for the foreseeable future.”
“Absolutely impeccable! We were going to a place that was closed, and we love trying new places so we finally found this one! On the expensive side but this place should be bigger than McDonald's! They even have ketchup in the container like a sauce! We will 100% be driving out the way again just to come back! Big burgers and plenty of fries, gonna be full all day.”
“Absolutely wonderful staff. Food was excellent! Some customer was complaining about waitress looking at his grandson. The waitress did look at him a couple of times for his own safety because he was up walking around touching everything. It was obvious that your grandson was special needs but never did waitress say anything about what he was doing but did glance a couple of times to ensure his safety.This is the BEST Waffle House to visit.”
“This store was the only one on this side of town open. They only had one cook and one waitress. This world we live in today is crazy! People are getting more and more lazy!!! Our food and service was great just can't believe we had to go to three stores to get service.....”
“They had some mad customers tonight that would not pull out of line to wait on their special order so wait was long and girl taking orders could have helped faster did finally after we asked since we can't move could she just go get it and bring to her window since we were just sitting there watching her on her phone.”
“Great vibe! Beautiful Decor! Super sweet and friendly bartender.. great tasting food!”

“The best steak tacos and cheese quesadillas I've ever put in my mouth! The pic doesn't do it justice, trust me. The steak was finely shredded and seasoned perfectly. The cheese quesadilla was loaded with creamy cheese and the tortilla was cooked perfectly, it was buttery and just the right amount of crispy. I do wish it was closer to home, but it is well worth the drive! Very friendly staff too! We will be back soon!”
“the waitress Tina needs another job cause being a waitress isn't the job for her she DROPPED 2 boxes on floor behind me she could have sat them down instead she rushed us to order never came back and asked us if we needed coffee had to get up 2 times to get more when she cleared a table of it's dishes she dropped them down on other dishes so that was very loud also she was right at my table and didn't even look my way then when we was waiting to pay in line instead of saying excuse me sir she once again was rude saying "you need to move" so I could complain about the food also but I'll jus complain about "Tina" the waitress. bad service can ruin the whole experience of eating here never going to waste my money or time again the rest of staff was great though..put Tina to doing dishes in the back so others don't have to experience her being disrespectful”
“Me and my husband had our first date here about 4 years ago and since then, it’s been our go to place anytime we want sushi. It is well prepared, delicious and amazing every single time. The sushi is the main thing we get every time, but the hibachi and bento boxes are also delicious. Never been disappointed and don’t think we’ll ever go anywhere else for our sushi fix.”
“The food is just like our Mother’s !! I always keep some extras in the freezer. Not only do I love the food I love all the girls that cook the food. It is delicious!!! The girls are great!!”
“My family is visiting from out of town and always enjoy coming to TOAST! As sort of a family tradition when in the area.The hostess was very welcoming and had us seated right away.Zemirah was a great server! She made sure my son received his food first (didn’t even have to ask). She was prompt and attentive. The atmosphere is always great and the food is always spectacular!”
“We first visited The Terrace on Oct-17-2014. Got there around 6:00pm, while it was still daylight outside. Probably the worst thing I can say about the place was that it took 6 to 8 minutes before we were initially greeted outside; after that, literally everything was almost perfect. The wait staff was attentive and friendly, and the food (flatiron steak, salads, lobster spaghetti) was *outstanding* - I'm currently eating a small piece of leftover steak as I type this; steak is almost never very good when re-heated, but it's still juicy and flavorful. The atmosphere was top-notch, with a pleasant breeze, fireside seats, and an outstanding view. We will definitely be back, on special occasions. :-)”

“The best experience I have ever had at a bar, run by the hospitable bartender you could ever meet, Kelly. If you get a chance, definitely give this place a good visit. Found great drinks food, conversation, and a lively atmosphere. Karaoke is also often offered and a great time”
“Mike and I make an excuse to drive from Asheville, NC to Costco in Spartanburg, SC so we can have Sunday lunch at J&G's. Mike loves their fried chicken and I love their veggies, especially their fried okra and collard greens (I'm a vegetarian and they don't cook their veggies in meat or meat products!). From our first visit a few months ago and every visit since, everyone there, especially Bobby and John, make you feel like family. Mike has cancer so it's a good feeling to see him eat so well and enjoy himself so much. And don't forget the banana pudding...delicious!!”
“I love, love, love the Stolen Brownie Sundae! They only have outside seating (benches). We enjoy it. The service today was not good. Aftet standing at the window a while, watching someone wash dishes, I poked my head in the window and called 'hello'. The second time, I noticed. He apologized, took our order, and they had our food ready quickly.”
“it was our first visit for the buffet and there wasn't much of a variety and the food looked like it had been there awhile. then we took a bite and it all had a sour taste to it. there was also others complaining about the same sour taste. the tea even tasted old. we did get our money back. I just had we had such a horrible first visit. I pray it gets better.”
“We have been coming here since 1979. Celebrating our 45th Anniversary tonight for tomorrow's actual anniversary date. An added treat. Peddler pie!!!! Food was excellent as always!!”

“My family and I love John’s! His breakfasts are amazing. Of course, my favorite is the huge waffle with bacon. For lunch, I love the cafe combo served with his spicy pimento cheese and chicken salad. In addition to great food, there is a friendly atmosphere, making it a great place to eat.”
“My favorite place! This restaurant has amazing food, the kindest employees, beautiful decor, and the menu is super clean. My family is vegan and we had plenty of options (gasp!) and my parents aren’t vegan and they had plenty of options also! Their teas are amazing, you can ask for no sugar added, which is a huge plus. And they have a dressing that is gluten free- the sweet gotchu- and it’s loaded with flavor. I cannot recommend this place enough.”
“WORST CURRY GOAT EVER!!! I WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER MEAL FROM THS ESTABLISHNENT!!!!! This is the 2nd time, I purchased form this store. The first time I feel I was given the bottom of the pots, because everything was burnt. I complained and received my money back!! It has been over a year, and I thought that if I make purchase early in the day, lunch time. How could I go wrong? Wrong!! The food was awful, awful!!! the goat meat was chewy; I never was able to actually chew not one piece of goat meat!!! I never swallowed not one dang piece!! HORRENDOUS, THE ONLY GOOD THING ON MY PLATE WAS RICE AND ANOTHER THNG, WHERE WAS THE FRIED BANANAAS?? NEVER EVER AGAIN!!!! YUK, YUK!! I complained and all I got was a sorry!! Wasn't going to get anything else, i threw the remainder of the food in the trash!!!”
“First time trying Health in Hand yesterday. I wasn't feeling good and hadn't had anything to eat so I stopped and tried the peanut butter and banana smoothie with chocolate protein. I can definitely say this will be my go-to for smoothies from now on! Best smoothie I've ever had! Everything sounded great and healthy and I love the fact that it's a local, small business that uses locally sourced ingredients.”
“Had a date night with my boyfriend last night staff was friendly and our waitress was so nice food was great i had a wedge salad with sweet bake potato and hot wings 10/10”
“We've been stopping by before the shows at the Spartanburg memorial auditorium. Which have been pretty awesome this past year by the way. So we haven't eaten here only some soft drinks and a beer before the shows. Been pretty busy each time. But the service is pretty good. We'll try to eat here sometime soon and update this review.”
“The best food around. If you want a great taste experience, this is the best place to go.”
“We have been coming to Chuck E Cheese for years and always had a good time. However, this last time we came it was exceptional! They use an invisible ink to stamp the adult's hand and their children. That way when it comes time to leave they verify each child is leaving with the correct adult! They have also revamped many of their games and attractions. With children being so vulnerable, I think it says a lot that Chuck E. Cheese not only cares but has gone above and beyond to keep our precious children safe!”
“We've been there about eight times over few years and it's been great food every time! We will continue going there. They will definitely get our business! We recommend them to everyone.”

“This is a discount bread and snack store. Yes you need to look at the dates. I buy all my bread, hamburger and hotdog rolls there. I have purchased rolls that date was 1 or 2 days past the expiration date and had absolutely no problems. Very good prices. Very good sales. I like their $1 half loafs of bread.”

“Got here a few minutes before opening and there was a line. Very cordial and fast moving as they had 2 greeters and registers going. Plenty of parking. Waitress I had was Jennifer…very friendly and always checked in to see if everyone in her section needed anything..don’t have to worry about running out of beverage, as she was on top of it. Food - everything was hot and fresh..which is a very welcoming appeal to buffets, as sometimes when they first open..warmers aren’t always hot. The popcorn shrimp was a little crispier than what I like..but that’s just me and I won’t discredit them for that. Desserts…holy whoa..they “fudge brownie”…heaven on a plate. It’s the standard run of the mill Golden Corral buffet options but something about this one here in Spartanburg seemed different. It’s like they all have a friendly tone to them and it’s just very welcoming overall. I will be back and definitely give this a 5*.”

“The flavor options for cobbler are great. The caramel apple was my favorite and tasted fresh!
We also tried a milkshake and it was delicious. We're gonna try the giant cookies next time.
Atmosphere wasn't the most inviting to hang out for but it wasn't necessarily bad either. We dropped in waited a few minutes and took it home to enjoy and will do it again. Don't miss out on their deserts!”
“One of Spartanburg's best! Been coming here for years. In fact, where did my wife (who is originally from Greenwood SC) want to go to dinner on our anniversary? Gotta marry a woman who'll choose The Beacon over a snooty five-star restaurant any day! Recommendations: everything but my go-tos or either the double chili-cheese with bacon or slice heavy on the red with a tea of course!”

“I would like to commend both Audrey and Evan on their superb customer service and willingness to go above and beyond to correct MY mistake of placing a mobile order at the wrong location. They were both extremely understanding and helpful, it was certainly not their issue to deal with, but I appreciated their kindness beyond words…and as always the food was delicious!! We need more people like this in the workforce these days.”
