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.

They said they'd definitely make the drive from Greenville just for the burger.

I look forward to trying the other varieties. The wings! The wings are large, meaty, and deep fried perfectly. They'll even double fry them for extra crunch. They're seriously good! I was skeptical about the place based on some reviews here - but they're vengeful hogwash. Check out door dash reviews - over 500 4.5 star reviews. This place is really locally owned and operated. We met the owners! Super nice and have been in the area 50+ years! They support the local high school and college teams in their clean, sports themed place. If you haven't been here, you need to add it to your list. Near the Lego store in the Walmart parking lot.

I've never felt compelled to write a review for a restaurant before…read more This was the worst dining experience of my entire life. For a two top we had to wait an hour to get an appetizer that came out cold, then another 45 minutes to have the main course sent out. It came out cold and they forgot one of the two dishes entirely. We were then told the order for the second person would be out shortly and waited another 20 minutes, after which we asked for the check and left. The wait staff was terrible, the bar tender was on her phone and not checking on people at the bar or taking on the task of pouring a beer, for which I had to wait 25 minutes after ordering while she was on her phone. When the bartender was not on her phone she was making an attempt at flirting with another worker in the building. Overall, I would highly recommend going anywhere else nearby. The only positive aspect here would be the environment. It was decent and clean. So I would say if you are interested in going here you should only go for the $2.75 beers during happy hour. Cheers, Steddy's. I will never go back for this overpriced miserable food.

They don't do dinner anymore, so I gave breakfast a try. I asked for sunny side up eggs, a really…read moredelicate fry. I got eggs that had browned edges and hardly any yoke. They were cold by the time I got into them, and there was an egg shell I chewed down on and spit out, didn't eat but one of my eggs. Next up, the toast was like a rock, but the jelly was good (it's pre-packaged jelly.) And I felt that the country ham had an extra serving of salt on it, or five. Way over salted. Country ham is salty, but nowhere near that salty. As if someone stood there while it was cooking dumping more. Not to mention it was chewy and of course, cold. What happened here??? It's flat out inedible.

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.

I had to take home leftovers (which served me for two more meals). Since then, I've either ordered just the hamburger (sides) or made sure that it would be my only meal of the day. Very caloric. But SOOOO worth it. The burger, besides its size, is perfectly cooked and moist. You have topping options like chili, lettuce, tomato, pickles, etc. They also have a range of condiments/sauces at the counter for you to use during your meal. This is hands down the BEST burger in the area (much tastier than BGR and Jake's Wayback and WAY cheaper). The sweet tea is perfect as well. The sides I've had (fries, hush puppies, onion rings) have all been delicious as well. The decor is all Coca Cola. It's like walking into museum. It's very cute and interesting to look at. The business is family-owned I'm assuming. I've received nothing but friendly and prompt service. The outside of the Monk's Corner Cafe does seem sketch but don't be afraid to walk in! You'll be drooling before even going through the door because of the smells wafting to the outside. Warning: if you do use debit/credit, there is a small fee (I think 75 cents?). Just bring cash if you can. I honestly don't know why this place isn't more popular among Clemson students. I've made sure to tell all my friends about it and they've loved it, too. I HIGHLY recommend!
