Their Cheesesteaks are superb either way; "Wid or wideout". Now, if they could just get Frank's soda (black cherry .... Mmmmmm). I tried their hoagie one time and I wasn't super crazy about it. Could've been an off day. One problem with parking at their place in the Silos, it is very limited and neighboring shops are not too friendly to non customers using their parking.

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.

Ok. This is a Jersey Mike's. The food might be ubiquitous, but it is pretty much consistently good…read morewherever I go. I am taking time to write a review of this one to highlight the exceptional service and work ethic I saw at this particular one. The ladies that were working were a well-oiled machine. I came in for lunch and the place (although relatively small) was crowded. Almost every table was taken. Very prompt and polite service and great communication with smiling faces. But let me comment on how they worked. As I was enjoying my perfectly prepared sub (an original Italian), there was zero wasted time or energy from the staff. Tables were cleaned and turned over quickly and the food prep area and counter, along with the deli slicer were SPOTLESS. They wiped everything down and made it look perfect between every order. And it happened so quickly and effortlessly that it took me a minute to catch on. Kudos to these ladies for taking pride in their work and making a simple sub sandwich lunch a memorable experience.

Besides that- it's a great spot to hang during the daytime, great for kids to play and have a beer with a snack. I do wish they had better kids options, my kids aren't big fans of fried foods-- so maybe something with rice instead of fries, or Mac and cheese dish, etc. Overall fun decor a will be back but the few times we've gone my kids say they're hungry as soon as we leave. The Reuben is good though!

So in a rush I bought one and waited and it was the most overpriced, no toppings, blandest, thinnest pizza I've ever had and im not exhaggerating. I would rather spend the 7 dollars on a digiornos pizza as it has more flavor, more toppings, and more quantity. Honestly this place deserves to close for being so egregiously overpriced and given to a better restaurant owner.

This place is such a gem! Foodie alert!…read more A sweet little cafe, coffee shop, bakery, amongst a small, rural neighborhood, in the trees. It's on the corner of a semi busy little country road, in a very old, historic building. The big mural is nice. I love that they have a great outdoor space with many tables, picnic tables, cornhole, and a gated in play area for toddlers - with chairs inside there for parents. Very cool space! When we walked in, the place was so adorable, decorated very nicely, and all the goodies looked amazing!! Mama Judy was at the counter (the owner/ bakers mom), and she was so sweet and fun! Very cool that the baking kitchen is upstairs in the same building. We ordered all the things! It was hard to decide: We got the pumpkin bisque (soup) -- it wasn't like any I've had before. More so like thick, puréed pumpkin, not so much a traditional bisque. Not enough liquid added to make it soupy for me. But the flavor was decent. Not my fav though. Autumn grilled cheese: homemade pimento grilled cheese with bacon, cooked green apples, on this amazing homemade bread that seemed almost like a mix of cornmeal and flour... like a little corn grainy and crispy crust- so good!!! The pimento cheese was a bit rich and heavy for me-- BUT that is what pimento is lol it's rich and super creamy. Delicious cheesy goodness, but just put me in a food coma lol. Big portions too! We had to eat it with a fork and knife since it was pretty messy and hearty lol but that was fine. I can't wait to try other sandwiches like the Turkey Brie, etc. We also ordered a slice of the chicken pot pie. The crust was incredible - light and flakey. And the filling was very flavorful. Although the flavors were a bit different than I'm used to in a traditional pot pie. It seemed to have more of a maybe nutmeg and cardamom spiced flavor added in which was unique. You could tell it was made from scratch, and made with love. Just not sure if it was my favorite flavor profile for the inside. It was a little cold inside so probably needed a little more time to heat up. But still was devoured none the less. I got the Mae latte with oat milk, and half the sweetness because I am not a sweet tooth. Mine was good and had great fall flavors. My boyfriend got the Ann latte with whole milk. He said it was just okay and didn't taste like much. Then at the end of his drink, he realized all the spice and flavor and sweetness was at the bottom and didn't mix in well I guess. We know to mix it next time. Are we got a slice of Keylime pie to go. It was a very hard decision deciding which pie to take. I LOVED the key lime pie! To me, this is what real Keylime pie tastes like, with pungent tartness, and just a hint of sweet with a perfect graham cracker crust. My boyfriend did not like it because he is used to the fake, processed, really sweet, Keylime pie from the grocery store, that is not sour or tart like Keylime pie should be. Lol He's excited to try the apple Carmel, peach cobbler, etc next time. We were also given an amazing cookie to take home with us, that was such a treat and bursting with flavor! I forget what it was, but it seemed to have baked in Carmel and other things, Mixtown, and was crispy and buttery, and so incredible to our taste buds! They have a great menu with lots to choose from including quiches, mini sandwiches, different types of pies, baked goods, soup, etc. As well as lattes. They have some general pantry items on the shelves, both generic staples, and gourmet healthy treats. They also sell the cutest handmade knit hats and headbands, etc., that Mama Judy makes herself, and they are so soft and well-made! They sell premade, frozen pie crusts and chicken pot pie soup, ready to bake frozen cookies, etc. They have a selection of bottles and canned drinks in the fridges and other goodies as well. The location and outdoor space in nature is so peaceful and really sets the atmosphere in such a quaint, relaxing way. We can't wait to return and try other things. I love that it is all made from scratch with real and healthy ingredients used. A foodie dream! The owners story and background was fun to hear about, and I love that she had a vision and executed it, and is using her passion and creativity to build community! We'll be back very soon!
