The kids meal was well priced, but we were disappointed that there was a $2 up-charge for getting milk of juice instead of soda. I realize that those drinks are more expensive for the restaurant, but we shouldn't de-incentive healthier choices for kids. They were able to make the thunderbird biscuit for me without the buffalo sauce. The croissant and home fries were good.

I visited the Gyromania Grill at 2558 Main Street in Elgin…read morefor lunch today (First Time) and I was totally enthralled & impressed with the restaurant, the food, and the staff. Having moved down to South Carolina six years ago, & given the hyper local establishments nearby my home that offer something I can only say somewhat passes for a gyro sandwich, Gyromania Grill far exceeded my expectations, and passion for an Authentic gyro, the kind I recall from up in New York yonder. From the moment I walked into the restaurant, and was greeted by Sheila, to receiving my Hummus appetizer with pita bread triangles, to receiving my Gyro pita sandwich, I couldn't believe how authentically tasty & delicious the food was. The food is prepared fresh on the spot, nothing laying around in heating hampers, from the french fries that are cut fresh daily, and fried when ordered, to the veggies that garnish the Gyro, to the freshly prepared tzatziki, my taste buds exploded with excitement at how delicious everything tasted. Honestly, I never expected to have that sensation of a well prepared Gyro the likes of what I recalled from NY, down here in S.C. but alas, I found *THE* spot for authentic, Great tasting Greek food. The restaurant itself is bright, open, VERY CLEAN! (I mean, Extreme Clean!) You can tell the employees take pride in presenting the establishment and the food they serve in the spotlight. Watching the staff behind the counter prepare the food, I noted how friendly and happy everyone was, no "fanny frowner /why am I here" faces, and compared to oh so many other food establishments I've been to, that impressed me a lot. I originally was going to order the lemon potatoes with my gyro, but they weren't prepared when I ordered, yet once they were, Sheila and her assistant surprised me by bringing by a little sample for me to taste, so next time I come in, I will absolutely enjoy them with my order, but the greek seasoned fries that came with my Gyro were trey`delicious just the same! The restaurant atmosphere is nice, I got there right before the lunch crowd, so it wasn't too crowded, I'm told sometimes the place can get really packed (no doubt, people enjoy eating delicious & tasty food, & Gyromania Grill delivers that!) The portions are decent, the prices very reasonable, the staff is friendly, and even if you have to drive a little out of the way to get there (as I did) it's well worth the effort. I Absolutely WILL BE Returning again in the very near future, and look forward to sharing the Gyromania Grill experience with folks I know will appreciate how authentic and well prepared this food is. ***** 5-STARS ***** For Cleanliness, Quality, Service & Value! Put Gyromania on your bucket list of places to visit for a great meal! You won't regret it. `JT

Been twice. NEVER GOING BACK! Worst waitress ever. Decided…read moreto give it another try since Elgin has no other breakfast/brunch dining choices. First time NO COFFEE....waitress laughed and said coffee machine broke. The food was served cold and bland; nothing special. Waitress never came around to see if we needed anything. Finally had to get up and go to counter to ask for assistance. Twice now the waitress either ignored us or was blind to us being there. Second time our food must have sat out waiting to be served and was cold and obviously dried out. Waitress was too busy chatting it up with another table, served three other tables that came in after us, talking on phone all whilst we sat ignored and waited ...watched ....waited ....waited and waited while our food sat waiting to be picked up and brought to our table. Absolutely unacceptable. Waitress needs training.

We were really looking forward to trying Cornbread Cafe--new place, new experience, and all the…read moreexpectations that come with wanting to support a local spot. Unfortunately, this visit just wasn't it. We were greeted and told to sit anywhere, which was fine. A server came by to take our drink order, only to let us know they were out of both drinks we originally wanted. No big deal--we pivoted. But then my sweet tea came with Splenda and no spoon to stir it, and silverware never made an appearance at all. What really sealed it, though, was the service--or lack of it. Another server spent close to 20 minutes chatting with a table about something completely unrelated to the restaurant while we sat there unnoticed. During that time, three separate parties were seated after us and were promptly given menus, silverware, and attentive service. We were never checked on again. After sitting there watching everyone else be taken care of, it became pretty clear we weren't going to be served that day. So we got up and left. I always hate sharing experiences like this because I truly want local businesses to succeed. But service matters just as much as the food, and sadly, this visit missed the mark entirely.

I'll admit, I was cautiously optimistic, but wow, they completely exceeded my expectations! The restaurant itself is beautiful, slightly upscale in appearance but still has a relaxed, casual vide, which makes it perfect for a midweek brunch or late breakfast. The menu is extensive without being overwhelming, and our server was incredibly friendly and welcoming. Now the food... phenomenal. I hate that I didn't take pictures, but that's usually a sign the food is that good. I just wanted to dig in! My husband ordered the shrimp and grits with added andouille sausage, and I had the brisket omelette with a side of grits. I'm not usually an omelet person, but the idea of brisket in an omelette pulled me in, and I am so glad that I did. The flavor was amazing, and the grits were some of the best I've ever had. I typically avoid ordering grits outside my home because they're often disappointing, but these were absolutely on point. The shrimp and grits were also excellent, full of flavor and beautifully presented. The andouille sausage wasn't my personal favorite, but that's my taste preference, not a reflection of the dish itself. Portion sizes were great, pricing felt fair for the area, and overall the experience was top tier. If you're in the Columbia Northeast/Elgin area, I highly recommend giving this place a try.

I came with some friends as this was their suggestion. I had the chicken souvlaki and they had a pizza. The chicken was seasoned to perfection, and the tzatziki was superb. Three days later, my son and I came and this was his first visit. He got a cheese pizza and I got a chicken gyro. The chicken in the gyro wasn't as flavorful as the chicken souvlaki, but it was good. The fries were fresh and hot. My son raved about the cheese pizza, so we decided to come back again. Yesterday was the day of our return and yes, the pizza is good. The dough is really good. Fresh. I would say it needs a little bit more salt, but that's my only complaint. The staff here is very very welcoming! Everyone is extremely nice. They offer military discounts, so that is amazing as well! I will for sure be back as I work my way through their fantastic menu! So pictures, I only have pictures from my first visit. Sadly, the other two visits...my stomach was hungrier than my camera.
