Went for lunch with a friend and very few tables were filled. Not sure why as this is the 3rd time I've gone there & food was good. I had the buttermilk fried chicken sandwich with hand cut fries. The sandwich had bacon, pimento spread and a touch of onion-bacon jam plus lettuce and tomato. Yum! My friend had the special - patty melt and sadly wasn't impressed said it was greasy and dry plus taste of grease had a strange flavor.

Head out to Henning service, good food, and very nice atmosphere. I'll definitely go there again..

Great servers, bartenders, & food is delicious!! Drinks are always on point as well! LOVE the vibe of the place too. REALLY wish management would bring back the GIANT hush puppies!!

A fantastic beach themed hole in the wall style restaurant with great food! Very nice prices. The waitresses are fun and know the menu well.

Finally! Another good restaurant in "downtown" York. I ordered the seafood dip appetizer with the blackened grouper sandwich and pasta salad main dish. The bun wasn't great (it was sort of dry/stale - definitely not brioche), but the taste of everything else was delicious. The service was very good, attentive and friendly. The ambience is upscale casual with a decent bar off to the side.

YELP IS UNDEFEATED!!!! I don't care where I go all I need is my Yelp app and I'm pulling up to the best eateries in town. EFFICIENCY!! Get right to it. I can see the meal that was prepared last night. Lol. YESSSSSSIRRRRR!!!!!! Most restaurants that pulled up had two and three stars. So I understand the landscape. Not many eateries speak on. They were three that stood out. So now I know my target. That's a small town on the outskirts of Rock Hill. Nice enough spot. Our waitress was very attentive. She came by every 10 minutes. She was very informative and courteous. Pretty versatile menu. Little but if everything. We ordered a burger, seafood platter. The red rice is pretty bad. I'm from Charleston so I'm perfect to judge. It was bad. I think they were shooting for Spanish rice. Looks like it might be a good place to watch a game. TV"s at the bar. I LOVE there take on Spanish casserole. Different. I can eat that all day. The owner came out to speak with us. Super nice. Said his father runs the one in Georgetown. I will be back wanna try a few more things on the menu.

Went here for dinner - party of 5. Ample parking in the lot behind / to the side of the building. Friendly service / seated quickly. We ordered the pimento cheese app and the loaded fries app. Both were very good. The pimento cheese is definitely house made. The loaded fries includes brisket. It was excellent. For apps, we got the Double Bacon Burger x2, one medium rare and one medium well, a salad with chicken and the mushroom Swiss burger. All were very good. Unfortunately, the burgers were mixed up - kitchens fault as the receipt showed that the server entered correctly. Each person took bites at the same time so it was awkward to switch. I ended up with the medium well - overcooked and not dry as I always order medium rare. The person that got my burger roughed there way through half - couldn't eat the other half. It was closer to rare than medium rare anyway. There was another issue but the server quickly corrected it - a side of pimento grits came out cold. Server replaced with hot grits. My wife got a side of mashed potatoes. She loved them. One of the burgers was served with Mac and cheese. I was told it was fantastic! Even though I dinged them a star for the burger mixup, I highly recommend this place. Definitely plan to return.

EXCELLENT... My biggest complaint...the shrimp are so good...I can't bear not to get them....and the rest of the menu looks so good.
