    Prob more like 4.5, but all in all a really great experience…read more The interior is divey in a really fun way. Plenty of space. Fun decor. Server was really nice and on top of things. I ordered a steak, broccoli and salad. The steak was a perfectly medium rare, very nicely seasoned and delicious! Broccoli was just steamed broccoli, but was still nice and crisp. Salad was small and the dressing was pretty bad. Asked for a different one and it wasn't much better. Very clearly food service bottled stuff. But really, that was the only glitch. Would for sure come back here if I'm in Sumter again.

    So we were in town for the holidays, visiting family, and popped into Palmetto Oyster House for…read moredinner - and wow, were we surprised! First off, the crab cakes were loaded with fresh crab, perfectly seasoned, and had this amazing crispy outside. Seriously, some of the best crab cakes ever! The New Orleans shrimp were awesome too - that authentic spicy kick with great herbs and spices, every bite was perfect We also got the Mahi Mahi Club, and it was a solid choice. The fish was grilled just right, and with the fresh veggies, it was super filling Even the sides were great - the coleslaw had a nice tang, the fries were crispy (though a little salty), and the hushpuppies were sweet with real corn in them. Overall, Palmetto Oyster House was fantastic - great food, great quality, and that chill Southern vibe. Definitely check it out if you're craving some amazing seafood!

    Who knew a casual night at the bar could turn into such a great dining experience? We arrived 1…read morehour before closing on a Saturday and the restaurant was super packed. The hostess were friendly and accommodating. My husband and I decided to skip the wait for a table and grabbed seats at the bar, and honestly, it was the best choice we made all night. The bartender wasn't just pouring drinks, she was running the whole show with top-notch service, great conversation, and attention to detail that you don't always find in a chain restaurant. Our Margaritas were perfectly balanced. The Food orders were a little off but the kitchen corrected the issues right away. My husband was missing his rice for his shrimp skewer meal and his side dish. The food came out hot and it tasted good. What really stood out was how the bartender managed to make the bar feel like the friendliest spot in the house - checking in often, making us laugh, and keeping everything smooth even when things got busy. Outback is always reliable for steaks and comfort food, but when the service is this good, it makes the whole experience that much better. If you find yourself in Sumter, skip the wait for a table and grab a bar seat - you'll thank me later.
