The staff were very friendly and easy to talk to, and I really appreciated how careful they were about peanut allergies when going over the menu. I ordered an Oreo cookie sandwich with Oreo ice cream in the middle and Oreo crumbles as a topping, and it was so good! The ice cream was super creamy, and the cookie was warm, heat-pressed, and delicious. This place completely exceeded my expectations. I'll definitely be coming back, and if you're anywhere near here, you should 100% check it out--it's phenomenal!

She went for chocolate with their version of Heath bar crunch, and I ordered vanilla with peanut butter cups. Both were excellent, and the small size was exactly right. Honestly, Rita's stands strong enough on its own that it doesn't need a topping and we'll get plain next time. This location is a small kiosk with a couple of umbrella-covered tables and no dining room. [Round number review 1400 in South Carolina - 275 of 2026 - 25464 overall]

Thankfully, that walk led us to Rita's. This was my first ever visit to a Rita's and as someone who loves Italian ice, I was pleasantly surprised. Since I was in the South, I figured it was only fitting to order the Georgia Peach Italian Ice. Was it life changing? No, not really. But, was it refreshing and flavorful? Absolutely. The location was busy, with a line, but it moved efficiently and the staff kept things moving. They were very friendly, too! Always love good customer service!!! I have to admit, I was a little shocked by the prices, but judging by the crowd, Rita's seems to have a loyal following. Overall, it was a sweet ending to an otherwise mixed evening and I would definitely get a sweet frozen treat from Rita's in the future!

The service was great and they were quick with our order considering the multiple orders in front of ours. It has a great tropical ice cream shop vibe to it and my son and I felt like we were in little Mexico or on an island in the Caribbean.

I'm not sure if they were shortstaffed, but it definitely took a long time to get our food and apparently they were waiting for one particular sandwich to come out to bring the entire table so everybody's buns were completely fried on the top and needed to be replaced from the heat lamp. One person in our party got fries and didn't ask for him and of course they were on the bill, the Pepsi was flat and the waters were leaking all over the table. Our server was extremely sweaty and may need to consider a towel or something as he is greeting and serving tables. Food was OK. We had the smash burger, the BLT Smashburger, a grilled honey chicken plate the pineapple burger, a BLT type sandwich and the K-pop Korean chicken sandwich. We may consider giving it a try again. The chicken sandwich was really good and so were the Parmesan truffle fries, but I'm not convinced it's worth that kind of wait.

I've always had Zestos as one of my favorite three places in Cola area for chicken and it seems like I swap each one of those places back and forth between #1 and #3. Zestos was usually my #1. I've told many people it's the best chicken in the world, but I've always thought that it was a bit too salty. After my wife and I had the chicken I realized this was the saltiest that I'd ever tasted. It's in the batter, not the chicken. It was so salty she couldn't finish her piece. I fiinished a breast bit saved the two thighs for the next day. First time ever that I thought it was almost too salty to eat. I've moved it down to #3 on my list and it'll probably stay there after this. I don't consider KFC, Popeyes, Bojangles in the running between my 3 top chicken places, just because they're more fast food and the chicken is different (although I like Popeyes and KFC a lot). But I almost would take those two over Zestos if the chicken was like it was the other day.
