    Great food and friendly people. Best place to stop and eat at Lake Wateree (breakfast, lunch or dinner). They have regular specials. My favorite recently is a lamb gyro sandwich with feta fries (their fries are fantastic). They also have a large dining area that can seat 32 people and it can get pretty full, especially at lunch time.

    Stopped at River Deck today to grab some lunch. Got a hamburger all the way with tater tots. The burgers are always good here. It is a great stop for lunch along Hwy 97. I highly recommend the River Deck for grill and store.

    Cheeseburger with Gouda cheese. Yum!

    One of the best burgers I've ever eaten! The old time feel of a roadside/lakeside cafe was very authentic. I don't know how long this place has been around, but it's doing stuff right! Friendly staff, very clean and neat, no frills, goodfast service!

    Best hamburgers ! It is a very generous sized bun and patty- much more than average size. I love mine all the way and it is incredible!

    Ambiance - Great, chill vibe with an upscale feel. Comfortable, stylish, and perfect for a night…read moreout. Service - Absolutely outstanding. Gabe was clearly busy on a Saturday night but still stayed attentive to our table of six. He walked us through the specials with great detail, offered thoughtful recommendations, and clearly knew the menu inside and out. Food - The reason we came, and it did not disappoint. Our table enjoyed shrimp cocktail, duck spring rolls, rack of lamb, and the King Tut special--every dish was a hit. The large sides were truly shareable for all six of us. The scalloped potatoes, in particular, were incredibly cheesy and scrumptious. Overall - It was our first visit, and we will definitely be back. The only downside was that the hostess seemed visibly overwhelmed by the Saturday night rush, which made the check‑in experience a bit stressful to watch. It might help to give her additional support during peak hours so the front‑of‑house experience matches the excellence of the food and service.

    Goodness what a gem hidden in Rembert SC close to Sumter. I made reservations after a friend…read morerecommended that I give them a try, I'm so glad we did! The place has an interesting history, it was an old mill. I walked around before going inside to take some pics. Once we walked in, the red carpet was rolled out (the best customer service).  This was definitely one the best meals that I have ever had in my lifetime. The team was professional, friendly, courteous and helpful. The food was excellent, everything tasted freshly made with love. The next day I had No stomach pain at all, which is very rare these days when I eat at a restaurant. The lamb chops and ribeye aged steak was absolutely amazing, every bite melted in our mouths, the different flavors hit all thru our palates. The only tip I wanna make sure patrons understand. Yes it's a pricey evening out, and the sides are not included. We felt that at least one side should be included with the main dish. My 4 lamb chops cost $61 which was quite a bit. Most high end restaurants will at least include one side. Don't let this take away from your experience, just go and enjoy. It's a once a year kinda meal for us. We didn't try desert, but heard it was also amazing. It was our 32nd anniversary, and the waitress wished us many more, we didn't expect anything else. The thought was very much appreciated. I will be returning again in the near future for a special occasion.

    This is the first time we had ever been to this place, It's just a small place out by the lake…read more It's not fancy, but the food was delicious! They were a little backed up with big orders when we got there, but the food was worth the wait! I had the Monte Cristo, and it was great. I definitely recommend this little place!

    I have eaten here several times since I moved to Camden, SC in May of last year and the food has…read morealways been very good. The name, Water We Eatin,' is a clever play on the nearby Wateree River and the age-old question, What Are We Eating? The previous owners recently sold the establishment and I went back for the first time since then this week. The new owners kept most of the staff, the name of the restaurant, the menu and the prices. The prices can't be beat and the staff has always been very friendly. The location is kinda in the middle of nowhere. It appears to be an old gas station that has been repurposed. To me, it screams South Carolina and I like that. I got the rib-eye steak ad baked potato without thinking I also got it the last time I ate here before the ownership change. The difference between the two dining experiences eye opening and I don't mean that in a good way, I am sorry to say. As soon as we began to put butter on our potato, the three of us realized it was not cooked all the way through. My fork would barely make a dent. I was already worried because that should have been the easiest part of the meal to get right and to check before it was brought out. The server was apologetic and said he would have the cook pop three new potatoes in the oven. Which is fine and we appreciated that, but now we had steak on our plate and no potato. So I started in on the steak. Last time the steak was very tender. Not so much this time. It was tough to cut. The seasoning was not as good this time as last. I don't know if the seasoning was different this time or if it was just not seasoned as much, but it was noticeable. The new potato when it came out was cooked fine, but the whole situation left a bad taste in my mouth, to use a bad pun. I liked the tea. Being from the south, I ordered it sweetened and it came just as I prefer, sweet, but not thick and syrupy like some places serve it. I am open to going back and if I do, I will update this review. People are allowed to have bad days. It may be a learning experience for the new owners. I am pulling for them as I prefer locally-owned places with character than cookie cutter national chains where every location looks the same. I hope to try their breakfast for the first time at some point.
