Great place to eat, though a bit pricey. Food is worth the price and the customer service was great. Will be back next time I visit. read more

With a party of 7 all from out of town and we didn't know what to expect. It was better than everyone expected!!! Every meal was perfect and service was great! We will definitely come back! read more

We have been here several times and have had both stellar and sub par experiences. The food is always excellent. I LOVE the chicken/spinach/Gorgonzola dish and their steaks are great as well. The service could definitely stand to improve but not bad. A few times we have been unimpressed with the speed though. The lunch menu is good too although maybe a little limited. But overall a good restaurant and we will return. read more

My buddy told me this was the place to stop for a nicer dinner in Clemson and he was dead on. I got there after closing time but they were nice enough to do a prime rib for me. The bar was lively and the staff was really friendly. The food was great too. Highly recommended!! read more

while sitting at the bar i witnessed multiple male staff member making inappropriate comments and advances to the young female servers and when i talked the these girls they said it was the culture of the restaurant. poor management if they allow this behavior and culture at a "nice" restaurant. read more

We were in town staying at the Hampton Inn down the street and stopped to try the restaurant. Little pricy and house salads are nothing special. Enjoyed our dinner. Total price for dinner for 2 was over $85 with 20% tip over $100. Service was A+.. read more

This was absolutely the WORST dining experience I have had. Have been eating here since the 1970's but the manager was extremely rude and defensive. Food cold and our dinner lasted over two hours because the service was that slow. Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else. read more

Very nice dinner tonight! So many choices on the menu. It was really hard to choose just one meal :-D I've been wanting to try the Lobster Bisque for quite some time. I was not disappointed! It had a wonderful creamy taste! Plenty of chunks of lobster! I had the Seafarer Platter with the cheese grits. The salmon was wonderful as were the shrimp & scallops. The grits tasted like they'd been cooked a few times. I enjoyed the grilled zucchini. Husband had the Rum Runner and was happy with his steak. He especially liked the garlic mashed potatoes. We will definitely be coming here again. One thing I didn't care for was the bread. The drizzled butter all over the mini loaf made it difficult not to get messy while cutting it. Our waitress Taylor was very attentive but not too hovering. Maybe next time we'll save room for dessert. We hear they're quite delish read more

Many years ago, Pixie and bills and it's sister, Calhoun Corners were pretty good. At that time, they were also the only acts in town. But the coasted on the their laurelsl as new restaurants opened and today Pixie & Bill is pretty marginal. We had the Prime Rib last night; nowhere near the quality of the Copper River and did not appear to have been cooked in the premises, But instead just heated up.The salads were ice berg lettuce and marginal; well below the standard of its competitors. The one positive thing to be said about the restaurant was that it was quiet and the atmosphere was pleasant. But we will not be returning to this restaurant read more

I normally do not like to write a negative review. but I ate at Pixie and Bills three times this summer for dinner. On my fourth visit in July, I came with a colleague from the University at 1:30. We waited at the reception desk while a young hostess flirted with a young man. She was giving him a phone number and chatting. the hostess did not make eye contact with us. After she had "assisted" the young man for three minutes, she looked at us and said, "May I help you?" We were at a restauarant and standing in line at the hostess desk. I was puzzled by her question and tone. "We'd like a table for two, please." "Oh, we closed at 1:30." We said thanks and left. We did not feel welcomeat Pixie and Bills. Needless to say,restauarnt should not close so early for lunch? And, had the hostess not chatted, we might have gotten a table. I genuinely get the idea that Pixie and Bills is not big on welcoming to non-locals or occasional guests. The food is good here. Pimento cheese appetizer is excellent. And I highly recommend the chicken marsala. But managment is not visible, and the young people who work there seem to be involved in themselves and are not especially pleasant if they do no know you. Greenville is not all that far from Clemson. Next time I may look elsewhere for a meal. read more

What an amazing disappointment and waste of nearly $100. The "PRIME RIB" was an over cooked surprisingly tuff piece of meat. I should have gotten up and left when I noticed margarine was served with the bread. I thought it was a long standing Clemson icon, but like many older places just giving up and living on a reputation that has long since faded away, as food quality seems to drop to save pennies to only start disappointing diners. Looked like it was once a real classy place way way back in its day but at this point seems to be an old place going though the motions and selling Sysco product and telling us it is something special. read more

Had me a good steak at Pixie and Bill's tonight, and even got to sit in the bar and watch the games on TV. Not bad. It's a nicer place than that, overall, with plenty of spots to have a nice family dinner or even throw a group in the back. The seafood cakes were yummy and the steak was just like it should be. Gotta say that they're worth the visit. read more

When no one at all stops by the table to ask "how is everything?", it can only mean one thing. They already know and don't want to hear it again. When we first looked at the menu we thought maybe it will be worth the ridiculously high price. When the food arrived we learned otherwise. The ribeye was overcooked, difficult to cut and quite chewy. The shrimp were the same. This is the first time I can remember not being able to finish a small ribeye and six shrimp. Well, not able isn't exactly accurate, not willing is a better fit. The baked potato wasn't bad but based on the size of it vs. the actual potato inside of it, it wouldn't surprise me if a good scoop of it wasn't on someone else's plate as mash. The tables are way too close together. Every time the waiter brought something to the table behind us his posterior got way too up close and personal with my back. Its just not a pleasant way to spend a meal. If you do go, I recommend trying to avoid a seat with a window view. You'll spend your meal mentally kicking yourself thinking I could have gone there or there or there or even there and would still have money for the movie. read more

I ate hear with a large group from work. The staff handled the crowd very well. Everyone commented about how good their dinner was. I had the lobster bisque and the prime rib. Both were exceptional. read more

We were in the Clemson area on business and several people recommended this place to us so we decided to try it. I must say it was mixed results. First our waiter was new so I will not comment on the service as he did as good as could be expected except for the fact that we never got any bread. We ordered two different types of ribeye steaks, salads, and drinks. First the drinks beer very affordable, but the old fashion ordered was a bit on the weak side. Cesar salads were very good and was given the choice of dressed or on the side which I always appreciate. Then the steaks, one ordered medium one ordered medium rare. Both were done the way they were supposed to be and were very good. The baked potatoes that came with them were good but Luke warm and a bit smaller than I would have expected. The shrimp that came with one of the steaks were also done well. All in all we enjoyed our dinner and would give it another try on a future visit. Review is 3 1/2 stars but I think could be a 4 star on a different night. read more

Unfortunately the toughest, hardest to cut and chew "prime rib" I have ever had. The slice I got ranged from medium well to almost raw, poorly prepared and overall a severe disappointment, especially for the pricing they expect. read more

Love the warm feel of this place.... Nancy, the owner, is a gem as is Carmen the hostess. We sat at the bar for dinner as they were really crowded and we didn't have a reservation. I ordered the prime rib and fully loaded baked potato. Ted, one of the owners and the chef, cooked the prime rib perfectly. He even came out from the kitchen to say hello, give us a big hug and thank us for coming. Would have given it 5 stars but bartender continually forgot to get us what we had asked him for (silverware - had to ask 2 times and then again after meal arrived; water- asked for it 2 times; horseradish sauce for prime rib- asked twice and never got it. He remembered it after he gave us our bill; glass of wine- he forgot about that as well). Bartender was a little more focused on chatting with some friends that popped in vs providing good customer service... but the good food and the family-friendly warmth provided by Nancy, Ted and Carmen offset the mediocre service of the bartender. read more

Rating based only on service. While I would love to comment on the food, I wasn't given the chance to try it. After going in for lunch I was seated and sat there for around 10 minutes without a single person stopping by my table. There were plenty of empty seats so it wasn't as if it was overly packed. I can honestly say I have never left a restaurant before this experience, but there is no reason to not be more prompt with very small tasks. read more

First, it was 40 minutes before I even placed my order. Also we didn't get bread to snack on while we waited, but we got it AFTER food came! I ordered my steak well done and when I got it was so rare it was still mooing... read more

We just moved to SC, and we came out to celebrate our anniversary. The food was excellent, my husband had the porkchop and I had a steak. Then we had the créme brûlèe and the snickers pie. I wouldn't reccomend the house merlot, but everyone's taste is different. Our server was attentive without hovering. All in all it was a wonderful meal. read more

Came here for dinner on a Saturday night. Had the Rim Runner ribeye. It was good, but not great. Meat was somewhat stringy & tough. Considering that you pay $26 for it, it should have been better. Garlic mash potatoes are great. So is Lobster Bisque. Waiter was a nice friendly (somewhat shy) kid. Fresh bread was good. Salad was disappointing. Iceberg lettuce read more

We frequent this locally owned restaurant all the time!! We live in Asheville NC and have a vacation home on Lake Keowee. Their lobster bisque is the best.... period... end of story!! Spicy shrimp sauté is to die for... read more

Restaurant attractive and the staff extremely friendly. Unfortunately the cocktails weak and the enters bland and tasteless.

I went as part of a large group. Even with our group completely filling the side room on a Friday night the service was excellent as was the food. The waitress talked me into the Salmon with Southern Comfort BBQ sauce, and it was amazing! read more

I met up with my Bumble date and had a great time. It has such a vintage atmosphere yet had modern touches. My steak was cooked perfectly! What more can I ask for! read more

Amazingly pretty cool find in a small town like Clemson. Food was great but maybe a little over priced. Our server was attentive and friendly. read more

Where to begin? Obvious student waiter that when asked what steaks came with answered "usual stuff". I ordered filet $28,95 with port reduction rare. No clue what the piece of stringing meat I was served was but obviously not tenderloin. Could not saw through it with knife I had to request. The "port wine" reduction au jus was obviously some packaged powder that required hydration. Sent entire meal back and paid full price ... Oh excuse was busy football weekend coming up. Yep paid full price for inedible umm food? read more

People do not come to Clemson for a culinary experience. It is a college town. Pixie and Bills is a tried and true long stading favorite of locals and returning visitors. As others state it has a somewhat limited menu. Steaks and Chops are best unless you are a prime rib lover. P&B serves a good prime rib however it is only well prepared and nicely served. If you are planning to eat out i Clemson it is a good choice. It is a very busy place so you are going to be seved by college students and with a kitchen working hard to keep up. Bisque is quite goood. Seafood of the day - your in Clemson SC and it is not Bass so don't expect alot. Salads are fresh and they have something to satisfy a sweet tooth. Cocktails are average bar drinks nothing special. A short drive over to Pendelton and you will find some small inns but you will not beat the convieance of Pixie and Bills. Yous should be stisfied and enjoy all the college parents taking their kids out for a good meal around you or the greatest sports fans in the country. Go Tigers read more

Excellent staff and customer service! Our waiter was outstanding! Fun and lively atmosphere, bread and butter was incredible, salad with iceberg lettuce was just okay, black and blue filet was really great, prime rib really good too! Great place! read more

It had been a few years since I'd eaten here. Last night my wife and I decided to go to Pixie & Bill's for a dinner out. The food was good. The service was as well. I had forgotten why I liked this restaurant. Quiet, classic and not as stuffy as it's sister restaurant (Calhoun Corners), Pixie & Bill's offers a nice option for fine dining in Clemson for locals. read more

Hard to decide what to say. Bottom line: not worth it for the price. Goods - nice staff, mostly good food, convenient to the university, easy to get into on a Friday night at 6:30 without a reservation. Not goods - The place is old and felt a bit dirty, peeling paint, old carpet, vinyl tablecloth with a stain, sticky saltshaker. The lobster bisque was good but it was served in a cold bowl. The ladies room needs a serious updating. While the food was good, it was not amazing. I ate at a different restaurant last night where, for the same price, I couldn't stop raving about how great the food was. Probably won't be going back to this one. read more

Overpriced prime rib was disappointing. Bartender apparently does not know how to pour a double but she does know how to charge $14 for it. Don't waste your money read more

I went last night for the first time to Pixie & Bill's. I ordered the special Rib Eye with their twist on an 'al la oscar' and they didn't bring it as ordered. What the waitress brought was a 1/2 inch thick over cooked rib eye. This is a steak house I was not impressed by either the cut or the preparation. They forgot to bring bread to the table for the entire meal and refilled the water glass only once. We dined at 7:30 PM midweek so the restaurant wasn't crowed so the wait staff and the kitchen was not stressed. When I call the waiter over to ask about what I ordered she said that she could bring it back to the kitchen to fix it. I just don't like reheated food and I declined. The manager never came over to ask if things were OK nor any gesture to fix the issue was offered. Very uncommon experience in a $$$ establishment. read more

We rode boat over to Clemson and just walked in off the street looking for a place to eat. We were not appropriately dressed for such a nice place but the staff was very accommodating. Everyone's plate was exceptional. Great service! Loved it! read more

Fries were like hockey pucks! Bread on the sandwiches was dry. But the onion rings were very good. Service was okay but the waiter who saw we did not eat the fries did not ask how our meal was read more

This place is the best! It's family owned and the food has never been a disappoint. The Filet Imperial the other night was exquisite and the Spicy Shrimp Sautee I could have eaten twice over. I really enjoyed the atmosphere and our waiter was very nice and a cute little college guy. If you get the chance, I would definitely try this place out. read more

We have been away for 2 years and looked forward to returning to Pixrie and Bills. Although the service was great, the food was not as good or as much. We ate there for lunch. The portion of chicken salad was skimpy, with one sliced strawberry, 8 grapes and two orange slices over a small amount of salad with no dressing. My husband's "Asian slaw" (a side dish to his sandwich) was a tiny bowl of plain shredded cabbage also with no dressing or taste. We were disappointed. We both left hungry. read more

My family and I really enjoyed the food! HOWEVER that was the worst service I have ever had! I called to inform the restaurant so not to cause a scene and they acted like they could care less! read more

Thank goodness it's still as good as it always was. We love the appetizers and the service is always good. The quality of their filet mignon is first rate and we like the dark steak-house-like atmosphere. This is the only upscale place in Clemson that is worth the upscale price. I highly recommend it for dinner. I would only go there for lunch for a special occasion as it is a bit pricey during the lunchhour. But, for steak and a nice quiet evening with a cocktail or wine, go here. read more

I am moving to this area and trying out several area restaurants. Pixie & Bill's is very good! While upper-scale for the area, plastic-coated tablecloth is not found in bigger cities. The food, though was very close to what I would expect in Chicago, Baltimore or Boston at double or triple the price. My wife had ribeye, I had seafood assortment, both great. I do wish the seafood cake had a flavored mayo or other sauce with it. My spinach salad was outstanding with homemade dressing. All in all, a superior experience. I do have a couple of suggestions to get all the stars. Lose the plastic tablecloths. Figure out a way to get a bit more parking, and most of all.... Don't use your knowledgeable and polite servers to then immediately turn around and bus tables full of soiled dishes. Many would not relish the idea that they would carry dirty dishes to the kitchen and return immediately with my soup without washing up. Hire some bus-boys. read more
