It's so hard to find good Cuban food outside of South Florida but this chain here really satisfied…read moremy cravings! I really enjoyed this quick bite and if I lived in the area, I'd surely become a regular. I'd compare this place to a Panera bread (in the way you order) and/or Chipoltle (same concept of bowls with rice, beans and a protein), it's a quick stop for healthier-then-most takeout options. I'll always prefer my grandma's Cuban cooking but this wasn't half bad. Food was flavorful, fresh and quick to arrive once we placed our order. For those so inclined, there are no shortages of sauces! As any Cuban might, I chose the garlic sauce which was really good. My one complaint was I asked for tostones (savory/salty flat fried plantains) and I think I must have confused the server because I got maduros instead (sweet fried plantains). I've never had pita bread with Cuban food before but, hey, I'll take it.

I've never felt compelled to write a review for a restaurant before…read more This was the worst dining experience of my entire life. For a two top we had to wait an hour to get an appetizer that came out cold, then another 45 minutes to have the main course sent out. It came out cold and they forgot one of the two dishes entirely. We were then told the order for the second person would be out shortly and waited another 20 minutes, after which we asked for the check and left. The wait staff was terrible, the bar tender was on her phone and not checking on people at the bar or taking on the task of pouring a beer, for which I had to wait 25 minutes after ordering while she was on her phone. When the bartender was not on her phone she was making an attempt at flirting with another worker in the building. Overall, I would highly recommend going anywhere else nearby. The only positive aspect here would be the environment. It was decent and clean. So I would say if you are interested in going here you should only go for the $2.75 beers during happy hour. Cheers, Steddy's. I will never go back for this overpriced miserable food.

So I wasn't sure what kind of place it was , my first impression from the sign was a coffee place.. Any way I went ahead to place the order, the person behind the counter had no gloves or mask on, the Rice overcooked from the sides( hard plastic containers are much better to hold the rice temps) not enough protein was served to match up the rice. Chicken was overcooked and dry. The Taste was there, just not handle properly. A good manager should keep up with these things. I might give them another try.

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.

The meat, cheese and onions are mixed perfectly. They skimp a little bit on the meat in my opinion and it's pretty pricey if you're not filling the cheesesteak to the brim. Overall, very tasty

Fake eggs real disappointment!…read more I always try to support local, and was excited to try this restaurant. It was a big disappointment wanting an EGG sandwich and it's just a fake looking object that resembles an egg. Also, the quality of the sandwich was meh, for a bacon, egg and cheese sandwich to barely have one piece of bacon total, that's a swing and a miss. It is sad when a chain such as Dunkin has a system for more consistency. We had also asked for butter but that went on deaf ears. The place is super cute in appearance and the staff was nice, but when it comes to food quality it does not hit the mark. Rather unfortunate.
