I was excited to finally get off-site after a week (of work) to have a meat-and-3, and I had been…read moreeyeing Bantam for quite some time. Unfortunately, it did not meet my expectations. A lot of people seem to go here for the ice cream. It is certainly a local favorite, from what I saw. The offerings are straighforward, but the pricing is fairly steep for a simple mom-and-pop eatery. My meal tipped $8, whereas I am used to paying roughly $6 for a meat and 3. It comes with tea and a roll, but I would have preferred cornbread. The pork chop was dry, the mac and cheese was room temperature, and the turnip greens were watered down. Everything was also very underseasoned. I am especially sodium-dependent because I have had a whole bunch of salt-laden country ham whilst in the. The saving grace of the meal was the corn nuggets. They were crisp, creamy, and just the right amount of runny on the inside. Do choose these as a side if you are going with a meat and veggie option. Bantam Chef is a passable quick meal option if you are passing through Pickens, but I would shoot for something a bit better if possible!

We received multiple drink refills over the time we spent there. I had a burger with cheddar and bacon that I wouldn't order again. Nothing "wrong" just not my preference for how the patty was seasoned. There is an herb or spice in the mix I don't prefer. I will go with chicken or another recommended dish instead. Also had tots with the Hammer sauce on the side to dip. Incredibly rich homemade chocolate pound cake for dessert. Great experience. Low prices. Would be five stars if I liked their hamburger.

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.
