Came inside to place an order to go. Lady who took our order was very nice & helpful. We ordered three French fries, one double cheeseburger, two regular cheeseburgers and two fried chicken sandwiches. I realize this was a larger order but we waited far too long for the food to come out. I checked to see if we had what we ordered and left. Unfortunately after getting home and giving food to the family, the chicken sandwiches were just plain sad. So overcooked it was half chicken jerky. The breading just flaked off & it was so very thin. I paid way too much for sad chicken that couldn't be eaten. Hamburgers were okay but honestly needed more seasoning but they were not overdone. On the up side, the tomatoes on the sandwich's were beautiful and sliced thick. Never Again read more

Wow, livermush sandwich half grape jelly, and half mustard, and slaw. I was told some people like it with grape jelly, and some people like it with mustard, and slaw, so when I ordered it I asked for one half, grape jelly, and one half with mustard, and slaw. What I got was a sandwich with mustard, and slaw, on one piece of bread, and grape jelly on the other piece of bread, I really could not compare it... read more

Bantam Chef - it was supposed to be one half sandwich with mustard and slaw, and the other half with grape jelly... - American Near Me - Marion, North Carolina

Worst food ever. Wife and son got burgers and they were dry, no flavor, burger and bun mashed like a pancake, fries on website are crinkle fries but not what we got. We got nasty not cooked all the way thick junk fries. The worst was my club. Club sandwiches are ham slices, turkey slices lettuce tomatoe bacon. Mine was 1 piece of ham no turkey, 1 little piece of lettuce that was wilted, a mushy tomato, and the burntest bacon I've ever seen. Trash food. Just threw it all away. What a waste of 30 bucks. read more

The Greek chicken is wonderful! We have always gotten delicious food from here. The prices are very reasonable and the staff if friendly.

I really like the food. The people are great. The new owners are working hard I love the hamburger steak and the soup. Breakfast is really good as well. read more

Since the change of ownership, the Gyros are not as good... only thing I used to order there

Bantam Chef was my go to place for milk shakes....but, found several hairs in it. This is unacceptable! I thought food service workers were required to wear some type of hair covering. read more

Food was good but I was changed 5.32 more that's after Tax. That is bad business, bad service

Very good food for the price Ben here a few time. My friend enjoyed this also you will not be disappointed

With all these precautions in place due to COVID-19 you would think they would accept payment via credit/debit card over the phone. If you're going to be health conscious and protect your workers and clients make sure you're using every precaution at your disposal!! Come on!! read more

Onion Rings are fantastic and it's the best Gyro in the county. They have Livermush all day long. Great place to get a meal. read more

Well, Breakfast was a bust for us. The long line took 32 minutes to order and when we got home we weren't happy at all. My Biscuit and Gravy with Bacon wasn't so good. The Gravy tasted like it came fresh out of a can and the Biscuit was frozen type (no flavor). The Bacon was hard, thick and crispy but did have flavor. Husband ordered Eggs, Sausage and Grits. The eggs were cooked correctly, Sausage was like a brick (hard) and grits ( I think we got what was left in bottom of pot) hardly any at all. Definately sticking to Lunch there. Lunch is great :) read more

Bantam Chef - Heard on here it was so good but I can't agree with that statement. The Gravy tasted like it came out of a can and frozen biscuit. - American Near Me - Marion, North Carolina

So me and my mother pulled into this drive thru because the cute bears on the window. We were super impressed with the exterior. HOWEVER, the woman was extremely rude who took our order. She was very snappy and impatient. We had to wait on our food in a parking lot. The woman who brought our food out was extremely rude !!! She held the food up and would not even speak. There was no utensils or napkins with our food either. The BBQ , sweet tea, and fries were good though. We probably won't go back though, we value customer service. read more

Three and 1/2 Stars. I prefer waitressing. This is an 'Order at the counter' type restaurant . No waitress service. Small interior with about a dozen booths. Friendly. Locals. Food was good. The Livermush was a first for me. Playing card size about 1/2" thick, it had a slight crust on it and really had a good flavor. I ate it plain but may have been even better with some mustard on it! If I'm in the area again I would come back read more

This place is so out of date it is unbelievable. Dirty & run down. We had never been here before & have always wanted to go. The parking lot is always just about full. Boy is that a shocker! The food is not good @ all. My husband had slaw as one of his side's & I had macaroni salad as one of mine. They were both store bought not homemade. Ugh! They were horrible. I had mashed potatoes as the other side. They were so thick. The women's bathroom...well I want get into that. We will not be back. read more

Good burger and fries, great iced tea! Staff is friendly and fast. I come up to Marion 3 or 4 times a year, but I've never eaten here because my friends didn't like it several years ago. I was on my own today, so I snuck over there. I will certainly be back! read more

I love the menu, especially the Liver Mush Sandwiches. The Gyros are great! Friendly staff.

Delicious!! We stopped here as we were passing through and were pleasantly surprised. In the mood for gyros this place hit the spot! The meat was tender and well seasoned. Fast and friendly service. Well worth the stop. read more

Bantam Chef - Gyro platter - American Near Me - Marion, North Carolina

I have this thing for burgers of the Southern fluffy white bread sort -- the mayo and the lettuce and real beef (or similar veggie) needs to work and this did that. Georgia maybe SC border style sweet tea. -- hints of Gulf food - not the BC of SC with the hot fudge cake fat kid treat. read more

Best Gyro in Marion! Great burgers, fries and onion rings. When I make it back to Marion to visit family, Bantam Chef is a must stop!

Nice "hole in the wall"/"greasy spoon" place to get a quick bite. Everything is cooked when you order it. There is a drive thru but it may take a bit longer as you wait while your food is cooked. You can call ahead and order your food for pick up as well. Small indoor dining area and another outside (which is a little close to the road if you aske me). Sorry Mike S, I didn't get the double chili cheeseburger, but I'll try it next time. I had the beef-lamb gyro platter; they don't have the traditional gyro rotisserie (which has always been a questionable practice anyway = how long has that thing been turning anyway?). I was a little concrened when my gyro/ steak umm looking patties hit the grill. The final result was pretty good. A nice gyro sandwich with raw onions, lettuce, tomato and tzatziki on flatbread. Served with golden, crispy fries, cole slaw and their siganture deli pickle slices. Be warned, their slaw does have sweet pickle relish in it, so if you're not a fan of sweet pickles you may not like the slaw. Cool, local place that stays busy. Burgers to gyros to wagon wheels to flounder to ice cream = good selection. Definitely a good stop for lunch. read more
