Always get the wings! Their breaded chicken wings are the best in town. I think they are Nashville hot. Might try a lemon pepper if they have them. read more

We stopped here on our way through after vacation and so glad we did! Huge inside, with plentiful tables, large bar area and pool tables. We were greeted as we walked in and shown to a table. We tried the mushrooms as an appetizer and they did not disappoint! We got burgers for lunch and they were thick, juicy and full of flavor. We will definitely stop in here when passing through again! read more

The bar was clean and had a pool table with great music. The food was good as far as bar food goes, they did have other upscale food, but we went for lunch. The sampler is a good way to figure out how good the food is. I would had like to try the calamari but that was one of the appetizers not low on the sampler. What I had was good. The onion rings were amazing. My husband had the wrap and he was happy with the flavor and the size was substantial. We will have to try them for dinner! The waiter was good. He forgot a few things but he might have had a bad day. Forgetful read more

First of all - the food was delicious. Second our server was on point sweet, efficient and quick. I was totally happy until I saw a girl walk out of the kitchen with a plate full of food to the bar with her waist length hair swinging all around this customers food!! It made me sick! Unreal!! I swore I would NEVER go back! read more

First off, 90% of the time the food is great. Just make sure you get wings at night. Every time I have had them during the day they are never cooked long enough. The service from the staff is great. read more

Got into Anderson so just wanted a hot meal before calling it a night ordered take out from here, burgers were tasty and well cooked, wife got the Club and said best one she has ever had. Definitely a good dinner spot read more

As a burger fan, Raines on Main has so many interesting and unique options! The burgers were cooked perfectly and the portions were huge. I also ordered their corn nuggets and I would go back just to get those honestly. We went on trivia night, so the environment was fun and high energy. Our waiter was so kind and attentive! We had a great experience and I would love to go back! read more

First thought I would just like to say that the customer service was out of this world! They were able to accommodate a large table without a reservation very quickly. The food was amazing. The prices were even better! The sangria was so good! Definitely going to be back the next time I'm in town. read more

Might be the most inconsistent place I've ever been to. I've came here a lot and it's been quick and the food has been delicious. Tonight has been a different story. Walked in and it took over 10 minutes for someone to even acknowledge us to seat us. Once seated outside, 30 minutes go by and not 1 waiter or waitress came to get our order for our drinks. Meanwhile they are tending to other tables all around us. Finally someone comes and gets our drink order. A couple also comes outside and gets sat and within 5 minutes has their waters and order taken while we still don't have our drinks. After we finally got our drinks we had to wait almost 45 minutes for our food and while waiting we had no one come to us for refills or to check up on us. Finally we get our wings and we were gave no paper towels and we still had not seen our waiter since we had got our drinks. As we're finishing up we finally see our waiter and she's over sitting down at the corner table talking to people and vaping while we have had empty waters for 30 minutes. And then it took forever for us to get the check and for them to take it. This is the worst service at a restraunt I've ever had. read more

The food is delicious and the prices are great! Not to mention the atmosphere is really cool!

We sat outside and had to ask to be served. Had to ask for silverware. Had to ask for our check. No one checked to see if we needed anything else. Average food. read more

Great food! Good service- nice location. Had the chicken sandwich and sweet tea. Would go again!

It just wasn't for me. Food was salty. Our server was very nice though, even though we hardly touched our food. A lot of locals love this place, so don't avoid it because of my lack of enthusiasm. Maybe we just ordered the wrong items. read more

Everything everyone at Raines is excellent. If you follow Yelp directions they will take you to North Main St and you will never get there Raines is on South Main, across from CityHall Police Dept. enjoy. G Arnold Sirloin read more

I really like this place. Old floors. Cool tin ceiling. Nice wood trim and a classic wooden bar. Pub tables... They have the atmosphere. The staff was great. Attentive. I had a burger with chili and thought it was just exactly what I wanted. The price was right too... The menu seems to have enough selection to please most groups of reasonable people. I'm always happy to see a decent restaurant open in Anderson. I will be back. read more

Great service great atmosphere great food. I been here numerous times and every time everything is perfect.

Staying at the Hilton on Main Street in Anderson, SC. We asked the front desk where to go for dinner. Go to Raines they said. It was right across the street so why not? I could drink my Makers Mark and not worry about the POPO's. I should have worried more about the food but more importantly the service. The waitress was completely and totally not with it. So completely forgetful and not engaged that we were worried about her. I will leave that experience at that. The food was forgetful. Incredibly simple food that took 45 minutes to get. And it was served cold. My Bud Lite (yes. Bud lite) did not have one bit of carbonation. Not one excited bubble racing to the top. Flat as fresh road kill. Every restaurant has an off day. But this EXPERIENCE was way off. We left confused about dinner. Which is confusing in itself. We will not go back. I did take an exciting picture of the water. H2O at its finest. The lemon was lemony. read more

Great service and cool place but our food left a lot to be desired. Nice menu but Pretty tasteless.

The food was COLD when I got it,and my waiter was SO rude,and my table was STICKY. Plus, I saw so much trash on the floor, will NOT come again read more

Food is great here, the burgers are bomb and the quesadilla are huge. Service can be slow during lunch but it's usually really busy as well. I have been here serval times on lunch. read more

Anderson is a cute little town. Granted it was January, but this has the vibe of a locals place. Food is your typical bar food, not dive bar. Service was very friendly and bar service was great. read more

Dropped in here for a appetizer and a drink. We were staying at the Bleckley. Raines was very noisy, but other than that the food was very good. Adam was our waiter and he was very nice and personable. A really nice guy. The place was clean food was good. Price was reasonable read more

All the food was way over salted, and my family loves salt but this was to the point we either didn't eat or barely ate. We ordered fried mushrooms as an appetizer had to take the breading off it was so salty. My mother had fish and a baked potato, potato had been salted and was hard to eat. I had a sirloin with Mac and cheese, sirloin was cold and Mac and cheese couldn't eat it was so salty. They serve coleslaw with everything and it was like eating a spoon full of salt, one bite and couldn't eat anymore. Staff was friendly, atmosphere was nice food not so much. read more

This was my first time trying Raines on main . This is a very family oriented restaurant, I loved the atmosphere even though it was kinda noisy. The service wasn't terrible but it wasn't the best. Our waiter had forgotten our appetizers but all was forgiven when the manager allowed us to receive them even though she had forgot. I'll just say that it was very busy , so that's probably why the service wasn't the best. The food was really good the only thing that I ate that was hot was the cheese fries. The wings I had were delicious but they were warmish , I loved the bird dog wings. I will definitely be returning for the bird dog wings ! read more

The smallest wings I ever saw. I called them pigeon wings. Terrible, even the pictures online show puny wings. Nobody at my table was happy. This place won't last long. The secret to success in the restaurant business is to give better and more for less. I will never go back to Raines because when it rains it pours. read more

Went here with the Family, Party of 10. Service was quick and food was solid. I got the sirloin and it was cooked perfectly, juicy and had great flavor. Just a fun, stylish and clean environment. We'll be back! read more

this was my second time here and i came on wing night with my family (6 people) our waitresses name was bailey and she was training and was perfect the whole time, couldn't have asked for a better experience (plus the food is AMAZING! so are the prices!) read more

Headed home and stopped in for dinner. The servers were friendly but the food was hit and miss. The wings I got were pretty good (I got the plain wings with ranch) but the apps my wife got were frozen, cheap versions. The cheese stick I tried was chewy and seemed like it may have been heated up in a microwave because the cheese on the inside was as hot as the sun even though the breading was normal. I liked the environment of being there and would probably go back and reevaluate after trying some different food options. read more

Came in tonight 7-26-21. Normally not a problem but tonight was different. I don't know if the vooks are new but, the portions have gotten smaller, I ordered wings and they looked like they came from baby chick, they were small and dry. I also got a basket of fries that would've left my 1 yr old granddaughter still hungry. Also got fish and chips, same portion of fries and the fish was Mrs Paul's frozen. Very disappointed. Nice place but I think this was our last meal there. Sorry guys read more

Cold food, Cold restaurant,need to wear coat inside..small crowded bathroom..slow service. Nothing special or worth the average burger's

Raines on Main is a great place to go for an affordable meal. All meals are under $10 including a burger and a side for only $6.99. If you're hungry, you can add a second patty for only $2. I always get The Works burger because you can add any available topping for no extra charge. The staff is always extremely nice, the service is always good, and the restaurant has a warm and welcoming atmosphere. read more

Table was sticky there was still food on the table they didn't clean it that well there is also food on the ground by your feet they didn't sleep and I asked them to at one point while you're eating dinner I knocked over a drink by accident and everyone at the table was cleaning it up but no one came over the two girls sitting down at on the chairs by the doorways doing nothing the food the burger the palmetto Burger was good the mac and cheese ball was not that great the fries didn't look that good either they didn't taste that good they use white bread on a Reuben instead of rye I was very disappointed in this place read more

My husband and I and our neighbors stopped in to check out their wing special and were very pleasantly surprised!!! The service was great, the music was just right and the hamburgers were excellent!!! BTW, so were the wings, a little small, but tasty!!! Planning on taking the family there for a Christmas get-together! read more

Excellent food!!!!! Was in the area from out of state and decided to stop by for lunch.......very glad we did. The pimento cheese burger was off the charts!!!!! read more

I went there with my friends and the wait was an hour and a half long to get our food. Our food was cold. My friend had to go to the restroom and she couldn't even use the restroom because the toilet paper had mold on it. They didn't even have soap to wash their hands and the sink was clogged. My other friend he went to the men's restroom and there wasn't even any toilet paper. He said that there was dish soap to wash your hands. The food was terrible it did not sit well in our stomachs at all. Overall I do not recommend going to this restaurant at all. read more

Oh man this place was good! I had a meeting here a while back and we decided to check this place out that we had never been to before and it did not disappoint. Food was great, atmosphere is so calm but fun at the same time, we loved it. read more

Excellent Hamburgers! All four in my party ordered different sandwiches and every one was pronounced excellent. As well as the coleslaw. BUt. the accompanying fries were a pathetic attempt to be fancy, that just made them almost in edible. read more

The food was good but it seems they used a chicken tenders for the sandwich instead of a breast. I got half the sandwich at the full price

Gross, soggy bar food. We had the palmetto burger, chicken wrap, corn dogs, sweet potato fries, okra, slaw and pickle fries. None of it was worth eating. Don't waste your money on food from here. read more

My rating for Raines is kind of mixed. Mixed because they did an awesome job with the space and making it look & feel great, while trying to provide a great amount of food for less than $10; but the food isn't as good as it probably could be... I went in for lunch and ordered their palmetto burger that came topped with pimento cheese and a side of fries for only $6.99. Admittedly, I was blown away by the price! You can't hardly get a fast food combo for that price, let alone a sit down restaurant that you actually enjoy. The portions were also sizable which was unexpected. But let's talk about the food, because at the end of the day that's what matters right?? Honestly, I was disappointed with the actual burger itself. It tasted like it was taken out of a frozen package and thrown on a grill top until it was cooked. The beef was pretty bland and in need of salt and seasoning. I ordered medium temp, but it came out well done. This could be because it is a frozen burger that won't really cook to temp, or they might've just completely overcooked it. Either way, it tasted like it was priced - cheap. Overall, I don't want to be harsh on this place. It has potential and maybe they'll mark up their prices even if it's just $2-$3 in order to get better quality ingredients. Especially since all they do is burgers. If you're looking for something affordable, filling, and fast then it's a great spot to go to. But if you're looking for a killer burger, you may be better off checking out other options. read more
