The food was good but I feel the place was a little dirty and the styrofoam melted from the onion rings. The service was very kind and nice though. read more

Great food and service. Highly recommend the philiy cheese plate Philiy cheese subs are a must read more

Burgers are very good, but service was special. Didn't know the waitress, but she was very quick and friendly. Will definitely visit there again. read more

Disappointed I love this place but every time I go there now they're never open. Obviously their hours don't match what's on their sign on their door. I'm not sure what's going on, but it'll be the weirdest times to be closed. For example it's lunchtime on a Friday and they're not open. read more

It was fine. Clean place food was fine service was great. We had heard good things about this place and had tried to go previously but they were closed. read more

My husband used to eat here with his favorite uncle as a child and insisted we go. Likes: fast, not expensive, hot food, the "good ice", and really good Diet Coke! Dislikes: food wasn't anything special, very very very tight seating, and they don't offer a kids burger plate? (Weird to me.) Overall, nothing special, but a local burger joint. Locals seem to love it. Gravy on everything is their signature. The onion rings were real onions and only lightly breaded, I prefer more breading because it was almost like eating a half raw onion. Fries were extremely bland. I don't think they salt anything. Burgers were extremely bland and appear to be frozen patties. Gravy wasn't anything special to me. I didn't get it, but I tried my husbands. Slaw was the best thing I had. I liked their slaw it taste homemade, southern style. It wasn't sweet slaw if you were wondering. The hush puppies were good! Restaurant is dated, but appears clean. Bathrooms are outside and they are clean. Seems to be really popular place. It was crowded! read more

I have lived in Seneca for 7 years and we continually search for good places to eat. This is NOT one of those places. I had the hamburger steak plate and my wife had a bacon burger with onion rings. The gravy was NOT good on the fries (one of their specialties), the meat was just so-so and the slaw was mediocre. The onion rings were POOR with hard breading, my wife ended up having to pull the onion out of the breading just to eat it. I can only assume that the good reviews that have been given by other folks are a result of having had to eat poorly prepared meals in cheap restaurants. There can be no other reasons for giving more than one star. If I could give a minus star rating I would. Don't waste your money here. Our bad meal cost us $31.00 with tip. The waitress was very nice and friendly. I hope she finds a better place to work soon. DO NOT EAT HERE........YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED! read more

Overall, It's alright. My food was going cold when I got it. 2.5 stars would have suited better. I was not impressed honestly. The onion rings are not my favorite (I prefer hot & well battered) as you can see they were kinda cold and not well battered at all. (I was mad I paid $2.00 extra for them) My first time having it. I want to try fries next time but the onion rings were a huge let down. The burger was good but not worth the price of the food honestly. (My opinion) I'll give them another try in the future but as a first time customer I was not impressed. I did like during COVID-19 they bring out the food to you! Big props for decreasing contact!! My family ordered the Flounder Plate & Shrimp plate which seemed better! They liked both dishes but did mention the coleslaw was "okay". The hush puppies were well liked! Sorry for the half eaten photos. (Forgot to take the photos beforehand. read more

What has happened to the good sweet tea there? Now it tastes like sour tea that has been sitting out all day and the gravy used to be the best in town now it doesn't taste good and the gravy looks darker read more

Time Drive In Restaurant - a bowl of gravy - American Near Me - Seneca, South Carolina

It's a local dive. Clean. Very fast. Polite attentive service. My burger was in front of me in 90 seconds. That fast... My tea was refilled when it was down just 20%. Seats look like Waffle House. My burger was ok. Nothing special. Nothing horrible. Fries are frozen waffle cut. Cooked well not greasy. The salad is a small styrofoam cup of wilted lettuce. But this IS a dive. It looked like it was fresh just a little while ago. I will give 3 stars on service and attitude. They get extra credit for clean dive atmosphere. Food was just a 2 though... I'm going to say that I won't be coming back. Once was enough. So I have to go with two. read more

Food is ok for a quick bite. Very similar to clocks, or Pete's in the area. I've only had their burgers which are good but frys are very bland and tasteless. Better than franchise fast food. Service is always quick. The place is usually packed on Friday evenings read more

My friend and I went to time drive inn today to grab a bite to eat..foods usually good except the gravy..too much pepper and one time it tasted like peppered water..not a great taste.. Well today we ordered our food and we were listening to a conversation between a homeless man and some of the staff..he ordered a hotdog and an ice water..they charged $1.25 for his water .that's outrageous. Water should be free..and the one manager said he should go eat at the soup kitchen.. Unreal how someone can be so rude.. That poor guy.we gave him $5 and told him tobhave a blessed day..I wish I'd had more to give.. Think before you speak people .he didn't deserve that. read more

Food is great, service was great, affordable meal! Would definitely recommend trying it out!

Best hometown restaurant! We stop every time we visit Seneca! Love this place and highly recommended you give it a try! PLEASE get some gravy to go with your fries! You won't be disappointed! read more

I like a burger that tastes like beef. If you want one with avocado, pineapple, donuts, etc. this is not your place. This is a real, old fashion burger. I need one at least once per week. Throw in friendly people and fast service and you great meal! read more

Had a nice burger here and their signature gravy fries. Good old fashion local drive-in sit in restaurant. Try to eat here whenever I am in town. read more

I have eaten here a few times. I only have eaten here during lunch hours and got the order to go. The hamburgers are pretty good. We usually got the plate with fries and slaw. Overall I would recommend for a quick meal. read more

First time at this restaurant had the hamburger steak, with onion and cheese. The food was served hot and quick. Staff was very friendly and the restaurant was very clean read more

i would leave 0 stars if i could. i ordered hamburger steak and only took one bite of it. i kindly asked for a refund and a older man by the name of TOMMY told me he didn't care whether i liked it or not, i still had to pay. even though i didn't eat it. $20 down the drain read more

This is the best place to eat for me for the past 40+ years here in Seneca. I have traveled all over the United States and no other restaurants compare to Time Drive Inn for sure. Thanks to Andrew, George, little George and Tommy for making the restaurant an iconic restaurant and the best place to eat in town. read more

Great food every time! Friendly folks the owner is right there cooking your food! You have to try the gravy fries! read more

Happened by it while driving and gotta say it was nice to go. Food was good, staff was very fast with food and refills and it was a nice place to relax. Nothing fancy, just a good ole place to get good ole food. read more

This place is a Seneca Landmark. I have been going here for over 35 years. Probably had over 1,000 Jumbo Cheeseburger Plates. Use to be on a Football Friday night you couldn't find a table before or after the game unless you got there early. Love the gravy on the french fries. You are a outsider if you don't like that. I live in Texas now but always make a trip to the "Time In" at least once when I am back home. Burgers patties have gotten smaller over the years as most places have. I'd rather pay a little more and get my money's worth. read more

Time Drive In Restaurant - Time Drive In - American Near Me - Seneca, South Carolina

Time In has been here forever. A Seneca staple that has so many regulars the first question the server asks is "do you want a menu." The interior is simple and friendly, likely also a well maintained original from the building's opening 40 years ago. Odd, but the bathrooms are around back, so don't go looking for them inside. The hamburger steak is amazing. Get the signature gravy on EVERYTHING. Hot dogs with chili are also tasty. Sweet tea, fried fish, and even some soulful liver options are all offerings. The only flaw is with the recent change to the burger, which now appears to be a frozen patty. But you don't want that anyway when the hamburger steak plate is an option. read more

Love time drive-in ! Downtown Seneca great food and service! Been going her for many years. Usually get the chicken finger plate. The cheeseburgers are excellent too. Good tea!! read more

Had hamburger steak,gravy,fries,salad All good Brought back good memories I'll continue to visit here and enjoy the food read more

I've ate here twice and both times the food was good. I love the cheeseburgers and their slaw is the best I've ever had. However the second time I went I took my grandmother with me who lives 4 hours away and we saw a roach crawling around one of the tables. I was embarrassed that I took her there out of all the other places and she had to see that bug which made us both very uncomfortable. read more

This place has been in Seneca for over 30 years and believe me you can tell it. It looks as though this place hasn't had any work done on it since the day it opened. Everyone in the area seems to love it, however every time I have ever eaten there in the past, I have gotten sick. After paying for a meal the last place I want to be is hugging a toilet......take your chance if you are willing but me thinks NOT!!!! read more

Used to enjoy eating here, but now the food tastes fake. I ordered a cheeseburger and couldn't finished the burger as the meat didn't taste real. This hasn't always been this way. Very disappointed. read more

Fun atmosphere and an old time diner feel. If you need a menu you would be a newbie. The cheeseburgers are awesome.and the Philly steak is very good as well.. The prices are fair the the service was excellent. If you just want to catch a quick meal this is a fun change of pace. read more

They have a good hamburger steak with their famous gravy. Atleast i think its famous :) reasonable price

This restaurant is OK. The food wasn't bad, but was way overpriced. The restaurant has a diner feel to it, but with higher prices.

Horrible! Who steams a burger? If you see good reviews it is from a local who knows nothing about good food.

Good food -mostly fried - great service. The chicken only available in white meat - wish they served dark meat. I had the steak fingers and they were delicious. If you are looking for an alternative to fast food I would recommend this. read more

Great place for burgers and fries! Good customer service and a old diner feel. Staple of Seneca, SC and represents the feeling and the attitude of the upstate. Not many options in the menu but a great place if you are down for eating some good fried food. read more

The chicken finger plate with gravy all over is my favorite dish. I have been here twice, and I have ordered that both times.

Where the locals eat. Been going to Time Drive In since it first opened, never a bad meal. Good southern food, quick, service is outstanding, portions are generous. Best chicken fingers anywhere. I've lived in a lot of places and ate a lot of chicken! Used to be a real drive in so the bathrooms are outside around the back. They are very clean and safe to use. Make sure to get there early for lunch as the parking lot fills up quickly. read more

This place is amazing. The staff treats everyone like they are family. Not to mention the cheeseburgers are the best in town.
