Our first place that night become regular lunch location! First, there was a great ambiance to feel comfy and "at home". Bakery items by the register were enticing. Merchandise in the back inclusing super soft tees, sweatshirts and pants amongst other items (some handmade)! And there were Pickens referenced logos. I love finding shirts of a town!! This is all good but what really makes it superb is the food. I had the homemade chicken salad on wheat; healthy portion, soft bread and delicious chicken salad with a touch of apple plus a side of chicken dumpling soup. And a chai latte. All delicious. My friend had an egg and cheese croissant. She also exclaimed how delicious it was, especially the croissant. Finally, the staff. Very nice and checked back just the right amount of times to make sure everything was okay. Excellent. Ooops, one last item to mention - they are now open on Sundays too. I believe from 11-3. TRY IT - You'll love it!

I have become a big fan of cream cheese and lox bagels. I decided to try this spot since I…read morecurrently am staying nearby. The menu was excellent with a variety of options. Breakfast and lunch choices like different bagel sandwiches, some salads, etc. It's spacious and decorated like a train station inside. Service was friendly. I got a combo which meant for $3, I got a fountain drink and a side (bag of chips, pasta salad, potato salad, fruit cup were the choices I remember). It's not the cheapest for a bagel but I expect that when getting lox and the portion was satisfying. They have pastries and some dessert (pineapple upside cake) in case you also want something like that with coffee or tea. I saw at least 3 items on the menu that I want to eat so I will be back. It was very clean inside and had a causal and quieter atmosphere.

Inky's Philly Cheesesteak in Easley, SC, delivers a fantastic take on a regional favorite…read more Located at the base of The Silos--where several food trucks ply their specialties--Inky's stands out as a spacious, comfortable spot with large booths that invite you to settle in... and maybe stay a while. High ceiling, lots of wood paneling, very vintage while still feeling up to date. The menu includes burgers, deli-style hoagies, and salads, but let's be honest: the cheesesteak is why you showed up--and it's good enough to keep you coming back. There's some real history behind the name. Albert "Inky" Harris ran the first cheesesteak and hoagie shop in Philadelphia back in the 1940s, and the current grandchildren owners carry that legacy forward. Whether every detail has been perfectly preserved or lovingly remembered, one thing is certain: they source their white American cheese from Philly, and the result feels authentic. And that makes all the difference. The fresh-baked Liscio's rolls are huge--soft and warm on the inside, with a firm, crusty on the outside. Like me... on a good day. Inside, finely chopped steak, peppers, onions, and that perfectly melted white American cheese are blended together, so every bite delivers a balanced, satisfying hit of flavor. No "all onions in one bite, no meat in the next" surprises--just consistent harmony. And the star of the show? Certified Angus ribeye. No shortcuts. No skimping. No regrets. Sandwiches come in 7", 12", or the "I wish I was still in college" 18" option--because sometimes restraint is overrated. My wife and I split the Colossal. The meals are served on trendy paper-toppped metsl trays. The staff and management go out of their way to make you feel welcome and walk you through all the options. Sides round out the experience with plenty of choices: fries, tater tots, onion rings, pasta salad, fried mushrooms (hello, childhood), and a standout option--house-made chips, sliced and fried fresh and disappearing faster than your willpower. Bottom line: If you're craving a true Philly-style cheesesteak without leaving the Upstate, Inky's is absolutely worth the stop. Just don't plan on eating light... or sharing.

The Authentic Philly Cheese Steak. Is that one word or two? According to the menu it is…read more"Cheesesteaks", which auto correct doesn't like, but there it is. Rainy-ish Thursday December night at about midnight, or really 6:00PM but as dark and rainy as it was, it felt like midnight, the crowd had not hit yet but was trickling in. I found the opportunity to hit up Inky's going to a Clemson graduation party from Greenville. Good timing. No wait seating. Allowed to get a beer from next door, craft beers from Silos Brewing. Ordered the authentic standard 12 inch Philly with the Cooper cheese option, no additions because we are playing the authenticity game. Which is in itself a bit of an argument since a few "authentic" cheesesteaks in Philly swear by Cheese Whiz as authentic. Cheese Whiz is not an option, but provolone or American and Cooper are options. This is otherwise certified Angus beef ribeye, sliced super thin and incorporated on the grill with onions and the cheese into one homogeneous filling of authenticity. Also, the roll is the authentic Italian style from Liscio's Bakery - softer and chewier. I am not sure if it is a Liscio style or if they actually import these, but they are the real deal for texture and flavor. So, all that is fantastic. My only beef with the authenticity is just that....the beef. Not specifically the beef quality, but the beef quantity. The Philly Cheesesteaks I have had (in Philly) usually have a higher beef to bread ratio than my experience here. Could just be the chef for this one, but it seemed that my experience has been beef almost overflowing the hoagie bread. With that said, this is a fantastic and mouth watering sandwich. Not dry. Steaming hot. Came out very quickly. Made to order. Priced at $14.25 with tax comes to $15.53. I would say that coupled with the Silos experience, this is a destination worthy sandwich. If the restaurant keeps it this way, still worth it, but I wish there were an option to pay $2 more, for example, for 1.5X meat and it would be perfect. Oh, and maybe add the Cheese Whiz option for that side of town.

I was so excited because, if you've never been to Toney's, you know the portions for Italian food are huge and always leave leftovers. For me, that gets wasted. So, I got the chicken Alfredo small portions for $9.50, and my boyfriend got spaghetti and meatballs with extra meatballs for, I believe, $15. We were both disappointed. He's gotten this exact order multiple times, but this time they reduced the spaghetti amount when he asked for extra meatballs, so he was able to eat everything when he normally has leftovers. Mine was a child's portion of food - no joke; it took me 7 bites to eat. I had to look at the menu again to make sure I didn't order off the children's menu.

They offer several types of burgers, both breakfast and lunch sandwiches (hot and cold), salads, dinner plates, wings, seafood, a large variety of sides, milkshakes, desserts and ice cream. The hubby had the bacon cheeseburger plate. I had the ribeye sandwich plate. They were served with french fries and coleslaw. We split a strawberry cheesecake for dessert. The service is very good. You order at the counter and the food is delivered to the table. They check often to make sure you're doing OK and offer free refills on drinks. I was a little skeptical since the menu was so varied, but the food we had was good. Price was reasonable for the amount of food you got. There is limited seating inside, but there was outdoor seating. While we were there, there was a lot of activity... especially pick up orders and at the drive-through. Because I'd like to know if everything else on the menu is as good as the food we had, I would go again.

The food is a primary concern. It's great for a person working third shift to get a burger at 8am....not so great when the patty seems tossed on the flattop with no attempt to season. The chicken tenders are huge, and seem to be from a budget bag of the frozen variety. It seems the location relies on portion size, not flavor. Carolina Fine Foods was a staple as a kid for me. It was them, Pete's, The Clock, and Whirlwinds for that 50's "not McDonald's" burger joint atmosphere and taste. That was in Greenville, SC, has the Pickens location always had this "eh, good enough" approach to food?
