Restaurants in Sumter

“We ate there twice while in town for a funeral. Everything we ate was exceptional. My only disappointment was with the fact that they are extremely unaccommodating for the smallest request from the menu. For example, on the brunch menu you offer a side of scrambled eggs, but can’t add cheese to the eggs. And it’s not like you don’t have it. You have cheese for other ingredients for other dishes.”

“Abby was very informative and provided great service. Couldn’t get appetizer finished before our salad was brought out, then our meal was brought out during eating our salad. Very proficient. Was always coming around to check not just with us but others that she was serving at the time. Definitely will be back to see her!”

“Great service fast friendly environment”

“Great local place to grab something to eat. Great apps Mermaid Nachos and Alligator cheesecake are highly recommended… my ribeye was cooked perfectly also ask for Christian he is an incredible server…”

“Their lobster and crad is sooooooo good i,m about to orden some now”

“Just so you're not surprised, this is the kind of place where you pick up your meat and take it home to keep warm/heat up and pair it with your own fixins' for a meal. If you get the ribs they are going to come rinds on, meat falling off the bone, lots of sauce. The sauce is the right amount of spicy for those who like spicy.”

“hi owner of Sumter, SC chuck e cheese since the 2.0 remodels are finished you should get the animatronic performing again when there are shows playing on showtapes like the other 2.0 retro stores but with no 2.0 remodel and everything is original. sounds like a good idea owner of Sumter, SC chuck e cheese”

“We come here for Oktoberfest and have a great time. This bar is really nice. There is games to play, food to eat, and plenty of beer to drink. I could see being here all the time if I lived up here.”

“wonderful place for a good time.”

“Ordered from door dash when I received my order it was outstanding. Can't get into details but you all will have to try Nascar refuel burgers,drinks,and deserts. I know you will love it!”

“We nolonger have a Chilis in Maryland where I live so it was a treat to find this Gem. The sevice and food were great looking forward to my visit back here next year when I visit sumter.”

“I had the baby backs, collars, and Mac n cheese today. I'm not a fan of vinger base sauce but this sauce changed my thinking fast it's the bomb. Everything was outstanding the meat had smoke flavor all the way to the bone. I appreciate a good meal so go check them out it's worth the money.”

“Great experience tonight, we will definitely be back!”

“Applebees is definitely a go to for me. The two for 25 is a perfect option for my husband and I. The waitress/bartender did seemed a little overworked. She was friendly, but did forget to bring requested items several times primarily due being short staffed. She makes phenomenal drinks 🍸 !”

“Great customer service, great location and wonderful coffee”

“I started a job downtown so I've been to brubakers more than ever. Every single employee has been kind, even when they are super busy. Sandwiches are good and the mochas.”

“The service was great and the food tasted just like I thought it would, wonderful. Topped it off with boba tea and that was good too.”

“The food was delicious, the service was great. Go check them out.”

“The food was good but there were discrepancies. My husband and I ordered the same thing but I got more of one item and he got more of another one. Also the fried chicken was two different sizes and was noticeable different. I gave my husband the bigger piece. Other than that, we enjoyed the food and all three waitresses did a great job with being attentive.”

“good food & great service”

“PhoThai Street Food & Bakery was SO GOOD! The employee that helped us was the sweetest, and the Pad Thai was a huge serving and absolutely delicious. The bao buns, baked items, and desserts all looked really good. The art on the walls is so impressive, and they also have a few shelves of Thai grocery items that you can shop. I would definitely recommend, and I will be back!”

“They have the best food and super friendly. I got some of my coworkers to try their food and they fell in love with their food.”

“My family ordered takeout tonight. We ordered some wings, ramen, the sesame chicken, & a side of kimchi. Literally everything was so great! Lived here for almost 3 years and had no idea we had such an awesome choice to get food from. We always go to Columbia! 10/10 ordering again.”

“Great smoothies with organic ingredients.”

“great food , friendly atmosphere, just overall wonderful staff, love it !!!!”

“I dare anyone to find better brisket, ribs, or smoke sausage! Side bar is no joke. Incredible bbq, great service, and the Kentucky Waterfall drink complimented everything perfectly. Best restaurant in Sumter.”

“The food is always terrific!!”

“Great little restaurant but the only drawback is seating is limited. They format for about 16 people. Food is flavorful and portions are good. We had chicken hibachi, Crab Rangoon, Tempura Shrimp Roll, sweet biscuits and pork egg rolls. All were good! Children’s menu.”

“Loved it! Thank you. Enjoyed being able to pick from all the varieties of topping.”

“I love this Mexican restaurant because the food is delicious. I always get the taco salad with a beef and sour cream on the side. It's not expensive and it tastes great.”

“The cleanest buffet restaurant I’ve ever stepped foot in. I’m visiting and stopped by here and immediately feel in love! Beautiful staff and so friendly! The food is so amazing! I wished I lived here I would come back often! Keep up the great work!”

“Great food. Great atmosphere. Great service.”

“Great food, recommended for anyone who loves seafood (and chicken wings). Ordered the fish chicken special, 5 chicken wings and 3 pc fish, $12.95. Pick your choice of fish when you order; whiting, tilapia, flounder and there are fish choices that I didn't catch (see photos for the fish choices). Also a choice of hot sauce on the fish. It took about 30-45 minutes but it may have been less than that because we left and came back to pay and pick up. What's also great about this place is the fish is cooked fresh. Cash and debit/credit cards are accepted. Two sitting tables by the door can be used to enjoy your food. Bottled drinks are $2.49 and they have tea lemonade for $1.95.

We paid $30.88 for our meal and 2 drinks. Pretty affordable and a lot of locals support this business. So support local! ??

Parking: Limited space for parking.”

“The food is impeccable their fish is the best in town those little old ladies cooking really know Jesus!!!”

“Great service an awesome wings.”

“Overall, a great place to pick up some local BBQ quick and head home to eat and relax.
Pros: Good food with healthy servings and a wonderful staff. My preference is the ribs and pulled pork. Enjoy the potato salad, slaw, and rice with hash for an extra tasty meal.
Cons: The chicken just looked soggy. If you add sauce (told it was house BBQ but was a little spicy), prepare for some extra added vinegar. I understand this is the south, but a vinegar base does not mean that's all BBQ should taste like. Without sauce, it's excellent, though. The dining room is large and unimpressive, however perfectly functional. It's BBQ, not a high-end restaurant.”

“So clean. Such nice staff. So much food for the price! This is definitely my new go to place for wings and other stuff on the menu. Best of luck to your business.”

“we had a lunch date there that consisted of the love boat. food, boba and service were great! we will definitely be going back”

“Delicious Hash, Rice, Slaw, and Potato Salad. I grabbed a BBQ sandwich that I'll be trying later and plan to head back to try their banana pudding and lemonade.”

“First time visit & it Won’t be my last.I ordered one pannycake, since it was big, crispy, double order of bacon crispy & and glass of milk.They Understood The Assignment!It Was Gooooooodt!!!And They Gave Me A Military Discount!Nice time, I will order 2 pannycakes ?After that, lunch is next?????✅ Tried the double cheeseburger basket.If you love cheeseburgers like I do,COME HERE!!!Huge Tasty Bangin Burgers With Freddie Fries!My Son & I Enjoyed Them!They Were Goooooodt!!!”

“Excellent and Tasty Sandwiches...My favorites are the Club and the Roast Beef Sub...Service is fast and Courteous. Well worth the Effort to go to Mary Ann's Deli ...”

“Fast friendly service. Our waitress was very nice.”

“Food was excellent and the service was awesome.”

“Katherine (and the food) at Sambino's Bistro was so great tonight! So much cheesy goodness on the pizzas, rolls were dripping in garlic butter, fried pickles extra crunchy, and refilled drinks the entire time. She was so well mannered with the yes maams and no sirs... that was refreshing on its own! We'll be back!”

“The waitress in the is very friendly. They quickly get to seating and taking your order.
The employees that are cooking make your food flavorful. Not to salty. I enjoy the grits, 1 egg, sausage, and toast tray.
It has a warm, family-friendly environment. I have enjoyed it everytime I go.
I recommend you try this business.

Kid-friendliness: It's a place u can go with your kids. The people have respectable conversations that even kids can hear.
It's not a very large place, so I don't suggest letting your kids run around.

Wheelchair accessibility: There is a ramp out front. They have tables with pull out ? so u could fit a ♿️ to the table”

“Best fod truck in the South... fantastic wings and turkey legs

Kid-friendliness: Good kid meals

Wheelchair accessibility: Roll right up to the truck”

“This place is a true hidden gem of Sumter. Food is great, staff is wonderful. Consistently done within 20 minutes of calling in even when I have special requests. I won’t go to any other pizza place in Sumter. Thank you! PS- ask for your pizza extra toasty!!!!”

“We just had lunch here. The food was fantastic. My husband had the steak burrito which was so pretty. It came with a white queso on it. I had the chili relleno, the chili was fire roasted and had a farmers type cheese inside and on top. It had a bite to it and was very refreshing. The rice had corn in it and a really nice flavor. The beans were the right consistency and delicious. At the end of our meal, the waitress brought us a piece of Tres Leche cake. It was so light and so delicious. I highly recommend this restaurant for your next Mexican craving.”

“The best food in Sumter, SC. Relaxing family atmosphere. Friendly and professional staff. Good Gospel music. Reasonably priced. Very clean.”

“Cute little coffee stop. We just went to the drive through. Not sure if there is an inside to visit. If so, good luck parking. The person who helped us was delightful. We all enjoyed our drinks. If I lived in the area I would probably become a regular. May not be the best coffee, but good enough to go back.”

“Great BBQ and hash and friendly atmosphere!!! Great service and fast with the delivery.”

“Best place I’ve never had any issues
Always polite customer service they are top tier !!!!!!! The manager has high expectations of his workers and they are always so pleasant Great food 5/5”

“Absolutely the BEST Chili Relleno I have ever had, the Tostada was off the charts, and the salsa served with chips was amazing and complimentary. I'm really not a fan of tostadas, but theirs are absolutely delicious. I could make a meal of those. The Chile Relleno is not battered and fried, so it's not all greasy. It's packed with gound beef and they use big juicey fresh Pablano Peppers. The Special Dinner comes out on 2 full sized plates and is enough for 2 hungry people, but it's so good you probably won't want to share. The Tostada was unbelievable and definitely better than any I have ever had. The food isn't overly spicy, and EVERYTHING was delicious. I was there for lunch and the huge parking lot was almost full. And for what it's worth, a lot of the customers were from Central and South America, and believe me, they know where to go for really good Mexican food. FYI, the Special Dinner was only 15 bucks! You might see me there, because I'm a new regular. ?”

“They got out the food in less than 10 minutes, and it was delicious! I ordered the chicken and fried rice with egg rolls. They were both great. The overall experience went well. The owner also came and checked on me and my family to make sure we were enjoying, and she is very nice.”

“My favorite restaurant in town!”

“Stopped in today for lunch and tried the chicken pecan salad and low.carb chips.
So good! They have a variety of keto, gluten free, and sugar free desserts choices. Nice atmosphere and service as well. Highly recommend if you want healthy and tasty!”

“I love this place I used to go all the time yrs ago when I was going to Morris college and I'm surprised at how delicious and cheap they still are the wait is a little long best to call in but it's definitely worth I got the honey fried chicken combo I had rice for ”

“The food is DELICIOUS! You get a nice size portion, and the prices are reasonable. The owner is very friendly, well-mannered, and has a great attitude. This is the best seafood in SC. The wait time is 1 hr because the owner is the only chef, he makes all the food fresh and hot and he has a lot of customers. So order ahead and enjoy ?”

“As far as fast food goes, this is about as good as you can get. I especially like that this restaurant is extremely clean and the employees are super friendly and helpful. I’ve liked everything I’ve tried from the menu, with the exception of the ice cream.”

“Great food great people! Highly recommend!”

“I am trying so hard to continue this low carb eating. Nevertheless, today I wanted some good chicken tenders and I needed them to be very tender because I recently had my wisdom teeth extracted, so I knew I had to come to here. AND I was right. The chicken strips were so good, tender and tasty, the mac and cheese was hot. The young man, Zackery, who took my order was very polite and professional. I checked the carbs on both and I didnt do too bad.”

“I work at the call center in the mall and usually stayed away from the Chic-fil-a due to how busy it gets, but this past Saturday I decided to go ahead and get a spicy deluxe with a frosted coffee and was very pleased by the friendliness of the staff, particularly Paul, who processed my order and made me feel like a very valued customer”

“I'm happy that you can now get delicious Indian food in Sumter. I had the butter chicken with rice and paneer manchurian. It was all fresh and delicious. They are open on Mondays only and use the Fishin Fellas kitchen. To place an order, call or text at least a day before.”

“It's such a great little place for some wonderful food. The smell when you walked in the door was heavenly! My husband had the leg quarters, and I have the pulled pork sandwich. Our sides were mac and cheese, potato salad, and baked beans. We had the loaded fries for an appetizer, which could have been a whole meal! They were so delicious! We will be stopping by again VERY soon!”

“We’ve been here a few times already. Great food and smoothies! The owners are very nice people. Will recommend to everyone!”

“SO PLEASED THIS PLACE IS OPEN AGAIN . WENT FOR LUNCH AND WAS GREETED WITH A WELCOME SMILE . STAFF WELL GROOMED " IMPORTANT " AND VERY FRIENDLY . EVRYWHERE WAS NEAT AND CLEAN . FOOD GREAT AND WELL PRESENTED . NICE COZY PLACE TO EAT AND RELAX . THANK YOU .”

“I just had the most amazing wings today at this restaurant y’all go pull up you won’t be disappointed”

“Well I have always loved Arbys...I love the tender roast beef n now my favorite is the Turkey Club. But now I have a personal interest.. My daughter works there...I went in to ensure that she was doing a good job.. She loves it!”

“Coffee was great, as expected, but the breakfast sandwiches leave a lot to be desired. Not just this particular Starbucks, but each time we have had breakfast on the road from any Starbucks. I think I will pass on them from now on!”

“The food is always fresh, I recommend the curry chicken and rice. With some lemonade The owner is very sweet every time I come in. One of the best restaurants in Sumter”

“"I like their Chinese food; it tastes really good. I especially enjoy the combination plates and love their egg rolls. However, I feel like the quality could be better when they serve food later at night. The meal we got didn’t meet their usual standards, and I didn't even finish it because it tasted doughy."”

“I used to eat at KJ’s all the time while I was stationed at Shaw AFB. If you want that good grill taste on ribs do yourself a favor and visit KJs!

Parking: Ample parking on the side of the building.”

“Sitting down to eat now. How you going to serve this food and then say you are only open 3 days a week? Please give us the other 4 days. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️”

“They have the best food and super friendly. I got some of my coworkers to try their food and they fell in love with their food.”

“Simply the best in Sumter ~ and for miles around. Always get greeted with a warm smile. Never fail to impress. Ingredients are always fresh. Truly, can't get to TCBY often enough! Thank you, Dee Morgan Miller and the entire staff O:)”

“Husband had this pizza years ago at a rural location. He completely forgot about it until seeing sign at a different location in another very rural area. I personally have never had it and I'm extremely picky when it comes to pizza. It's one of my favorite foods. Well he suggested I try it because he remembers loving it over a decade ago. So I agreed and got a simple pepperoni pizza and then drove 15 mins home. Only cost $11.99 plus tax for a 12" Pizza which is cheapest pizza I've ever purchased. I had to rewarm it which made me hesitant on the quality. I was totally wrong. THIS IS BY FAR THE BEST PIZZA I HAVE EVER EATEN. First purchase for me was yesterday and today I went out and bought 2 more. Great dough, sauce, cheese the works. I will forever be a Hunt Brothers Pizza only..”

“Tuscan Olive Oil and Sicilian Lemon White Balsamic Vinegar on my Avocado Toast absolutely delicious”

“Great customer service! Celebrated my 35 birthday last year there and had a blast! Thank you Tavern in Main.”

“Parking: There are three businesses sharing the spots for parking, so if you don't see any upfront they have some on the far right side of building and in the very back.”

“I had the roasted pork belly ramen and it was excellent although I wish my eggs would have less cooked, but it was still delish. My daughter got the beef with extra ramen noodles) loaded) and she loved it. We will definitely be coming back!Their menu was layed out nice, great selections of sushi, hibachi and other items. Try it out. It's a hidden gem at the end of a strip mall!”

“The Auxiliary Unit 15 asked Bojangles to help feed our National Guard troops waiting for Hurricane Florence here is Sumter, SC. They did so with a wonderful full sized meal plan. The troops send there love! (Posted Pic on FB)”

“A favorite over the years with consistently great tasting food. Tried the hot teriyaki wings for the first time and they are now a favorite. Service is great but typically have to wait even if ordered in advance.”

“I choose to go to this location because of their stock. The employees are helpful. I find most of the items that I need. The store is decent and clean.
It has handicap parking and carts for the infirm. The checkouts are always working. I recommend this place.”

“What happened to this venue? We have been coming here for a couple of years and it was fantastic. Now slow service a no care attitude and the eating area has not been cleaned the last couple times coming here. Bathroom was not cleaned. Smell of urine and clearly had not been mopped in a while.”

“I came on a Sunday and they don't usually serve food but had made a pork chop spread for their dart players. They let me partake and it was marvelous. Know it is a private club which requires a membership.”

“Great place but a bunch of cheaters”

“I went to go see Midnight Row and had the seafood platter, I was very surprised with how good the food was and came out hot. Great job and I will be back.”

“It is super easy to order online and carryout. The wings are fantastic and the pizza is decent as well. It's located in a service station, so it's nice to be able to grab drinks or anything else when you pick up your order.”

“I love their honey chicken so much me and my family go a lot I can’t wait for them to come back. There such nice and loving people I can’t wait to see them again the lady at the front always brightens of my day when I speak to her.”

“They serve the best Chinese food in Sumter South carolina. It is always fresh and they give you a good amount of food I can never complain when I go and get my food from here.”

“It has changed since the last time I visited. Loved how they space out sitting area. Service was still as lovely, but the sub I got but not toasted to my perfection. The meat was still cold. It wasn't as I expected to be like from my past visit.”

Parking: Parking is good with handicapped right in front of the door.”

“boba! :) :) :) :) :) :) :)”

“My daughter and I stopped at your shop yesterday and I must say I was really impressed. Your staff was wonderful they went above and beyond to make sure my sub didn't get cross commented, due to an allergy I have they changed their gloves a few time's and put it together in a safe place. I had the glutenfree with roast beef and it was very good I would recommend anyone with an allergy to stop and get a sub from Jersey Mike's. Thank you to the girl's that made sure my sub was safe for me to eat. Sorry I don't remember your name's.”

“A really good burger fix the way you want it with a heaping helping of french fries that are fresh and really good”

“Sonic is Sonic, you know what to expect because you want what Sonic offers. Thank you to the Car Hop for shating. It's a treat when the Car Hop skates. Tip Tip... follow me on Google Maps, almost 9Million views!!!!!! WOW.”

“On the morning of September 25,2024 I visited Starbucks, the store was located in Sumter, SC. As I browsed the menu for options I was helped by the staff. Upon making a decision I decided to order an iced coffee, strawberry Frappuccino, a blueberry muffin, and cake pops. The assortment of food and drinks are very good. Starting with the drinks, the iced coffee was strong and very creamy with caramel notes. It was the perfect amount of sweetness to the coffee. The strawberry Frappuccino was a nice light cold option for something refreshing. The strawberry blend with the whipped cream topping gave it such a great texture. It also was perfectly sweet, the strawberry puree on the cup was a pleasant surprise. I thought it would have been overly sweet but it was great. Definitely would recommend this for a child. Next, the baked goods that I tried all had a flavor of their own. The blueberry muffin was okay, it was moist but very crumbly with the crumb topping. As I came to the end of the muffin, it seemed rather dry. I don’t know if it was heated too long or the muffin itself wasn’t new. The cake pops were good, although the vanilla flavor inside was a bit gummy. I was a bit upset that both the birthday cake and raccoon cake pops were just a vanilla base. I did like the texture of how thin the buttercream was on the outer part of the cake pop. If I had to order again I would choose the birthday cake pop because of the sprinkles on it gave it a little crunch. I was overall pleased with everything I ordered. Next, I hope to order more of the savory part of the menu. The atmosphere was very inviting, and so were not only the workers but the customers as well. I love that the store was very clean and organized.”

“Best service ever. Sunshine, KK and Daniel were awesome and made our visit a pleasure. Food was great and was delivered fast!”

“This is a place where you order double meat on a salad, you actually get double meat. They don’t rip you off like Moe’s or Chipotle. The staff is super efficient during the lunch rush too.”

“I loved the fact that Little "Caesars Pizza .. Partner with Libety Stem School to do a fundraiser to help the school. I order the combo to support my grandchild TJTravis Washington! The fundraiser is still on till the 16 of March. So if anyone would like to support Liberty SchoolThe Pizza and Wings and cheese bread ..was just awesome. And the staff was really nice and polite! And Little Ceasars made the link very easy for person to use even if you are a Senior Citizen like myself! Lol ?

Parking: They parking is very limited. Beside for the parking everything else was on point.”

“The workers are the reason it's not a 3 star to be honest.
Food is amazing. Taste is great, service is phenomenal.
My only peeve is the fact that I pay an extra $1.25 for queso, then ask for EXTRA queso, for another $1.25. And yet my bowl needs me to add hot sauce at home because it feels dry when I'm eating it.
I get it, it's nothing against the workers, they don't control it. And maybe it's just my personal preference. But I don't feel like I should have to pay the equivalent of a chicken bowl to get it to feel like extra queso is in it. It's already expensive.
Maybe up the portioning of the queso? Or have different sizes? I don't know but for it to really feel like extra queso, I'd have to get four servings. That's $5-$6 extra dollars..”

“I am from up North, and this is by far the best Chinese food that I have had in the south. There is a great selection of fresh, hot food. The service is prompt and friendly. Also, the best prices that I have seen. My family and I have frequented this restaurant for over 3 years now and have never been disappointed.

Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly.”

“they are really fast here in the sumter one it's very very slow”

“Service from hostess, wait staff, servers incredible!! 🌟❤️🙂❤️🙂❤️🙂🌟💐💐💐Thank you!!! Recent visit in , awesome waitress ! Clean establishment for dining !!”
