★★☆☆☆ 2.0 David Hannon · Sep 2025

The good. Food was served up as it was made and hot. The bread was nicely toasted and the lettuce and tomato were fresh. The bad. They say they open at 11, it's more like when everyone decides to show up while customers wait in the parking lot. In my case, 11:15. The hamburger patties are frozen pre-made. Nothing exceptional. The fries were fair, over cooked. The ugly. The owner as others have stated is not welcoming, doesn't smile or acknowledge, and looks at a new customer as though he might rob the bank. Waitress was very talkative with food prep people and didn't ask about how things were until the last bite was being taken. At least she said "have a good one" when I left. Not impressed, I shall not return.

This is one of the best places I've ever eaten. The diner atmosphere is enjoyable and the staff are beyond friendly. The food takes center stage though. We shared and tried a few different things. The chili dog, double cheeseburger, slaw, toast, cup of gravy, fries and the cheeseburger steak with gravy. It was all phenomenal. I will go back here every time I'm in Clemson from now on (Actually going back tomorrow with friends). My only complaint is that I didn't find this place sooner in life.

Genuinely some of the best home style food I’ve had near campus, it tasted just like home. The surroundings are really comforting and our waitress was really sweet. The food came out quickly, very hot, and well done! We love this place and will be back

★★★★★ 5.0 David McGaha · May 2024

Figured this would be my last visit up to Clemson for a while since my lil man graduated. I stopped in and got a lil variety to snack on. Started with a chili dog and finished with a Double Cheeseburger and onion rings. Everything was great from the food to the service. The young girl taking care of everyone was doing an outstanding job. It's a small place so go in with patience and you will come out happy

★★★★★ 5.0 Scott Tulk · Jun 2024

This restaurant is truly a hidden jem! It's been open since the 50s and has tons of clemson memorabilia everywhere. Nothing fancy, just great burgers! And you can't beat the prices! Best cheeseburger I've had in a while. I'll definitely be back.
