I ordered a steak, broccoli and salad. The steak was a perfectly medium rare, very nicely seasoned and delicious! Broccoli was just steamed broccoli, but was still nice and crisp. Salad was small and the dressing was pretty bad. Asked for a different one and it wasn't much better. Very clearly food service bottled stuff. But really, that was the only glitch. Would for sure come back here if I'm in Sumter again.

First off, the crab cakes were loaded with fresh crab, perfectly seasoned, and had this amazing crispy outside. Seriously, some of the best crab cakes ever! The New Orleans shrimp were awesome too - that authentic spicy kick with great herbs and spices, every bite was perfect We also got the Mahi Mahi Club, and it was a solid choice. The fish was grilled just right, and with the fresh veggies, it was super filling Even the sides were great - the coleslaw had a nice tang, the fries were crispy (though a little salty), and the hushpuppies were sweet with real corn in them. Overall, Palmetto Oyster House was fantastic - great food, great quality, and that chill Southern vibe. Definitely check it out if you're craving some amazing seafood!

There was also an outdoor patio area. We had the entire room to ourselves and our waiter was great. He was super attentive, friendly, and professional. Our food and drinks were delicious. Our waiter even recommended good pairing wines to order. The poke bowl portion was huge. The crème brûlée was one of the best I've ever had. This place was beautiful and upscale, but not overly stuffy. We were allowed to dine in casual clothing.

My Family has celebrated many special occasions at this restaurant over the year, often with groups…read moreof 8-10 people.This weekend our party of 12was told that our bill could only be split into two checks per table - no exceptions...instead of trying to help, the manager repeatedly explained the policy and suggested we use Venmo, Cash App, or Apple Pay to reimburse each other. I understand that every business has policies, but customer service should never by simply quoting the rules. The way it was handled made my family feel like an inconvenience rather than valued, loyal customers. Sadly,we left feeling disappointed, unwelcome, and questioning whether our business was truly appreciated. As people of color, the experience also left us wondering whether we were being treated differently. Whether intentional or not that was the impact. We hope the restaurant will reconsider both this policy and how it is communicated. Good food brings people in...great hospitality is what brings them back. Sadly, some family members will not return. Signed someone who understands what great service and great hospitality looks like.

It's getting late at night. I have a goal. Options are getting slim as I look around. Well let…read moreme try this and see what happens. Hard no. Well maybe I will have better luck with this option. Oh, sorry not tonight. Well let me try over here. Not my first, second, or even third choice but it will do and looks like a solid yes. Excuse me but I am curious are you about to get out of here? No, we are open. The answer given begrudgingly was like we are open but the expression is why are you here we trying to close early. Finally, I found a place that is still open even though it is Applebee's. Hey, the very last option is Waffle House and getting my food through a bullet resistant window. I mean come on you get desperate but not that desperate. So I have not been to an Applebee's in a very long time. I was thinking on a Friday night restaurants should be open until 11/12 PM. Oh I was proven so wrong as my first stop was another casual downing place we will call Silis that rejected me due to it being 1001 so pickings were slim. The last time I did go was because I somehow had a gift card for them. Also it was when they had those $1 drinks. You know it is bad when you sigh as you know what you are about to encounter ranging from customer service, food quality, and cleanliness. Once I was finally noticed at the bar the female came over to ask about a drink. So, I went with a LIT and she handed me a menu that was just wet. I looked over and I still think why did I spend the time on this menu and just went with the riblets to go. The LIT was ok. It was good but did not taste like a LIT. If you want it just for the liquor then you good to go but I do like flavor in my drinks. If someone was to give it to you I am sure you would not guess it was a LIT but it was still pretty ok. Now the secret is to know the bartender. Two of her friends came in and after seeing their drinks made I was like how are they going to drive. Then the drink had a sidecar of tequila to go with the copious amounts of tequila already poured in it. The riblets were ok just like the drink. Good thing is that I was given a good amount and the bbq sauce was a savior. Here is the issue. I get firing up the ribs to get a slight char before serving but the char was very uneven. It was on some of the ribs but not the others. Coleslaw was pretty good and the fries were nothing to write to Yelp about. Still I am here writing about it. What you see and the conversations of the employees here are something to listen to. You have no choice as loud as they are talking. Across from me was a long line of used cocktail glasses that trust me was not just put there. I hear some of the employees talking about how few glasses they have to serve at times and why are there so many cocktail glasses piling up tonight. In my mind the time you spent talking someone could have easily removed them all from the counter. Hey if you got time to lean you got time to clean. Especially behind that bar area. Not a very inviting thing to see especially if it happens to be a customer 's first time in this place. This is one of those situations where I am sure Applebee's knows they are one of the few selections so what's the point of doing better or turning the needle a little bit up on the give a damn meter.

The tables weren't wiped down all the way. Also, we asked for their new 4 cheese Mac and cheese with chicken, and we got some abomination, which was basically watery cheese noodles, garlic bread, with nasty chicken on top. The servers were nice, but they seemed really stressed out. The overall setting of the restaurant seemed very messy and chaotic with children screaming and stuff. Would I eat at this specific location, nope. So, don't come here expecting high quality food.

I suppose I'll make a comparison of my experiences and how this one fair to other chains. I really enjoyed Logan's in Sumter. Went there for lunch with a coworker. Wasn't too crowded and we were seated fairly quickly. Walking in I saw some stations empty, I think it was meant to show case their steak cuts? Not sure but it made an illusion of the place not doing too well. The menu is same as any other chain, but the cooking was great. My friend said it was overly seasoned, I could see that but I actually like that. The steaks were very tender & the sides weren't overly buttered or anything. The staff were very friendly & helpful. I really enjoyed my luncheon and definitely will be going back! If you like good steak, I definitely recommend trying this establishment out.

The hostess were friendly and accommodating. My husband and I decided to skip the wait for a table and grabbed seats at the bar, and honestly, it was the best choice we made all night. The bartender wasn't just pouring drinks, she was running the whole show with top-notch service, great conversation, and attention to detail that you don't always find in a chain restaurant. Our Margaritas were perfectly balanced. The Food orders were a little off but the kitchen corrected the issues right away. My husband was missing his rice for his shrimp skewer meal and his side dish. The food came out hot and it tasted good. What really stood out was how the bartender managed to make the bar feel like the friendliest spot in the house - checking in often, making us laugh, and keeping everything smooth even when things got busy. Outback is always reliable for steaks and comfort food, but when the service is this good, it makes the whole experience that much better. If you find yourself in Sumter, skip the wait for a table and grab a bar seat - you'll thank me later.

They were able to make the thunderbird biscuit for me without the buffalo sauce. The croissant and home fries were good.
