    Reuben sandwich
    Debbie W.

    This is the corn beef Reuben at Derek's and you can see how much meat you get. Their food is delicious! I've never had a bad sandwich there. Their gyros are the best too! They're behind the government building (where you go to pay your car taxes) and across the street from the Piggly wiggly in downtown Summerville. They're very friendly, the service is quick and the food is great.

    Derek's is tucked in behind Coastal Produce. Coworkers kept bringing these delicious sandwiches in so I had to stop in for myself. I've had their Rueben before....delicious! Plus I've seen coworkers eating the club and it looks amazing. I ordered the Gyro today. It comes with a choice of side...I got potato salad. Potato salad was nice and creamy with a bit of a mustard flavor. The Gyro had tons of meat tucked into a soft pita. They also give you lots of taziki sauce to pour on and dip in. There are several picnic tables in the shade where you can eat outside or take your food with you. Definitely a hidden gem that only locals seem to know about.

    What a great find! I heard about this place from several people and I am glad I found it. Sandwich shop behind a vegetable stand. I ordered the Gyro. The sandwich was very good and made pretty quickly. It is more of a takeout place. My sandwich was delicious and well priced.

    Best Lunch ever, well the food that is. It take out or sit outside. Service is fast and friendly. Ambiance well it's take out.

    Cuban sandwich
    Dawn H.

    Can't say enough wonderful things about this place. Their Cuban sandwich is the best outside of Miami. Not to mention, fast and courageous service.

    Best Cuban sandwich! Just moved to the area and Derek's was recommended. Had to try the Cuban. This sandwich is huge! Could easily feed 2 people! Loved it! Will definitely be back!

    Gyro from Derek's (plate is from my mom's kitchen; the gyro comes in a box)

    This surprised the heck out of me. Summerville has no shortage of amazing dining, but to find a top-notch gyro in the back of a farm stand? Didn't have that on my bingo card. The lamb is tender and incredibly mild. Great feta sauce and soft bread. A simple and amazing treat. And huge! I couldn't finish. The people working there were extra friendly. I can't wait to try other sandwiches there.

    Run, do not walk to get here! We heard about Derek's for a while and had never made it until today. I had the gyro and my husband had the Reuben and they were incredible. Made fresh and it was one of the best meals I've had in a while. I got the coleslaw and it was also one of the best... a little sweet but with a delicious kick. We will definitely be back!!

    Absolutely the best! Hidden gem in Summerville! Derek's does not disappoint with their home made Gyros, soup, baklava and more! Anytime I'm in Summerville I stop in. The husband and wife graciously greet you and I think they remember my name. I took pictures this time to share. Do yourself a favor and visit this little place. So glad they are still there. It's by the Piggly wiggly and behind the fruit stand. Best place ever. Don't forget the baklava!

    This spot is tucked away on the side of central market. Been there for just about a year now and wondering why I never ate there before . So, I was driving by and had to check it out because we only have two Greek restaurants here in Summerville. This place was fantastic and the gyro was huge! Very flavorful and plentiful tzatziki sauce on it. I think it weighed about 1/2 pound! The coleslaw is homemade and comes with it or chips. Derek who owns and runs the place is a very nice fellow and knows how to make one of the best gyros in town. Definitely got a new customer here!

    Derek's is located behind (and attached) to Coastal Produce on Cedar in Summerville. Just pull behind and there it is! Serving up all your favorite sandwiches with some sides and deserts, you won't be disappointed with the awesome food and ample portions. I was greeted at the "take out" style window, ordered, and promptly received my huge Gyro. No indoor seating, outdoor picnic tables. Parking on site. Loaded with meat, onions, sauce, tomatoes, and lettuce. Served with a side (choice of chips, cole slaw, potato salad). I had the cole slaw, outstanding. Can't wait to come back. Quick, efficient, great service.

    Chicken noodle soup.   Soo good
    Briit R.

    Small restaurant serving up big and tasty sandwiches! The owner Derek's father owned a restaurant and he learned cooking from childhood. Great food served with a caring spirit. We will be back to try all the sandwiches!

    Classic Club, with extra pickles And a side of delicious potato salad that has a hint of sweetness. Loved everything about this.
    Victoria G.

    Kept seeing these clubs all over Facebook and had to go try one for myself. Was served by the cutest couple at Derek's . If you're in the downtown summerville area go try them out. They're located behind the Coastal Produce Market near the Piggly Wiggly. They have gyros, clubs, pastrami sandwiches ,Ruebens and baklava. Was my first time going but definitely won't be my last.

    You get a coozie for your first visit.

The food is genuinely good and delivers that nostalgic diner-style comfort that keeps people coming back. The #4 burger special (burger, fries, drink, and ice cream) is a great value and very satisfying. The burger is juicy, well-seasoned, and cooked just right, with a soft bun that holds everything together without falling apart. The fries are hot, crispy on the outside, and fluffy on the inside--simple, classic, and done well. Ending the meal with ice cream feels like a throwback treat and is the perfect sweet finish. Paired with a cold drink, the whole special feels filling and well thought out. The chef salad with fried chicken was another pleasant surprise. The salad was fresh and generously portioned, with crisp lettuce and well-balanced toppings. The fried chicken on top was the highlight--crispy, flavorful, and clearly made with care, adding real substance to the dish rather than feeling like an afterthought. Where things get a bit challenging is the service and overall flow. Ye Ole Fashioned stays busy, and the constant stream of customers combined with limited staff can make ordering feel chaotic. There doesn't seem to be a single, clear system--orders are taken by whoever is available at the moment. While the system does work and food comes out correctly, it can feel confusing and frustrating at times, especially for first-time visitors. The staff works hard, but the rush can make the experience feel hectic rather than smooth. The ambiance matches the old-fashioned charm of the place--simple, no-frills, and very much about the food rather than polish. Once you understand how things operate, it's easier to relax and enjoy the experience.

Was very excited to see this location while I was traveling and my daughter, mom, and I stopped to eat. The New Yorker was good. My daughter liked the club, but I have to say I was so disappointed in the spud. The fact it's 15 dollars and barely has any toppings on it was a huge disappointment. And even with adding butter and sour cream, it was so dry and flavorless. The tea was amazing as always, and the new pineapple inside down lemonade and cheesecake was good.

There are plenty of fresh artisan sandwiches, soups, sides and salads. Something for everyone. You definitely want to have their sweet tea. They offer a tea club card that gives free tea after you purchase so many teas. I recommend giving McAllister's a try. Great and fresh food. Good service and a clean restaurant that is well maintained.
