VERY disappointed in afternoon tea at The Willcox Inn in Aiken, SC. Why? Because I didn't have it!…read more I was extremely disappointed in restaurant management when I was told today that afternoon tea was only served after 3pm. I had booked online reservations 7 days in advance, clicking on the 'Book A Table' button on the Afternoon tea link on the Willcox Inn website which took me to Resy Open Table page. The times showing supposedly for afternoon tea was 12, 12:30 and 12:45, so I chose 12:45 and typed in the note box specifying that this is for Afternoon Tea. It gave me the reservation time and sent an email confirming. I then CALLED Willcox Inn to confirm the date, time, number in party for AFTERNOON TEA, telling the lady who took my call that I was calling to confirm afternoon tea time for 4. The lady confirmed she had me down and repeated the details. So two sources confirmed an afternoon tea request, online and human. When I arrived at the dining room of the Willcox today at 12:05pm, early, I was told they only serve tea after 3pm. I was very upset, especially when it was the restaurant's fault for NOT specifying on the afternoon tea page that tea was only available after 3pm. We were told there was nothing they could do and they apologized. My friends and I had traveled from Evans, GA, forty-five minutes away to be told 'sorry, no tea', after I had confirmation from two sources. To make matters worse, we were told there were no tea foods, no scones, no tea sandwiches that could be served to us at 12:30 when everything would be available a few hours later at 3pm. The chef even came to our table to coldly state she could not prepare any scones as she had to feed other diners. The very least a manager could have offered to guests who had traveled distance and were denied what they were given confirmation for, was to comp a meal, and provide an explanation of errors on their website. I will never return to this establishment because they simply do not care about their customers. With today's use of social media, everyone is a reviewer. And this restaurant failed in providing good customer service, and failed in attempting to correct inaccuracies due to their negligence in advertising correct times for afternoon tea. Anyone who booked afternoon tea through this page should have their reservations honored, despite the restaurant's negligence. I do not recommend this restaurant.

I was hoping for a bagel place and this came up in the search, I'm not sure it qualifies as a…read more"bagel" place but what we had was great and the place is super cute and warm. The bagels are not the big, extra doughy ones, we ordered everything and while a bit light on the "everything" we appreciated that they were tasty and not too much. The cream cheese was just right. We enjoyed it with super dark roast - I'm still buzzing (kidding) but it was quite good. We sat outside on the porch, admiring the plants and even though we ordered at the counter, our bagels were brought to the porch. I almost asked for a crepe for dessert - but gotta save something for next time!

So overrated & overpriced. They have such a limited menu & it's very claustrophobic insideread more

This spot is our favorite place for coffee and daytime bites in downtown Aiken. Roxi my medical…read moreservice dog from Roxi's Ranch loves it just as much as I do. If you're a frequent coffee drinker, their refill cup deal is unbeatable at only $1.25. The breakfast sandwich is genuinely one of the best around. The bread is always fresh, and everything is made to order with real care. The staff is wonderful friendly to both locals and folks visiting from out of town and the steady lines just prove how popular the place is. While you're there, take a moment to check out the local artwork and stickers. There are some surprisingly interesting pieces. It can get a little noisy when the blender kicks on, but the back section stays nice and quiet. If I really enjoy the cup of coffee I'm drinking, I'll pop next door and buy the beans. Always a nice bonus. If you see Roxi you are welcome to ask to pet her. You might even get a lick.

I didn't complain or make a fuss. Ill just leave a review on here. That is a health concern serving raw meat. I pulled the steak out of the burrito and finished it. Not sure why or how they could miss an obvious thing. Hope the owner sees this for proper correction before the health department does. Going forward I'll just stick to the drinks and refrain from the kitchen food for a while till there is an obvious change. Thanks.

I ordered the hashbrowns with jalapeños, American cheese, sausage, and two over easy eggs on top. The jalapeños were seeded so you had a little heat with a lot of flavor. The restraunt was busy but it only took about 10 minutes for our food to get to the table. The hashbrowns were crisp on the outside and tender inside. The eggs were cooked perfectly. If you want a good breakfast in a locally owned restaurant, try them out. I will be back.

I had the salad plate with chicken salad and fruit salad as a side. The chicken salad is very good! It's shredded chicken with grapes and celery, I thought the mayo to chicken ratio was spot on: not dry at all but not too much mayo either. Veggies were fresh and the fruit salad was decent. The woman taking my order was friendly and I thought it was reasonably priced. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating if you choose to dine in. I took mine to a nearby park! Would return if I found myself in Aiken again.

The vibe is exactly what you hope for in a local diner -- warm, welcoming, and full of life. You can tell right away it's a place people love coming back to. I ordered the Croissant French Toast, and WOW. It was perfectly cooked with flaky layers and that soft, custardy center -- rich without being too heavy. My brother went with the Fruit Waffle, loaded with fresh strawberries and bananas, and it was just as good as it looked. But honestly, what made the experience stand out was the service. Everyone was friendly, attentive, and made us feel completely at home. If you're anywhere near Aiken and craving a solid breakfast, this place is 100% worth it.

The service was great and everything came out in a timely manner. I would definitely recommend and will definitely be back.
