    eggs and hash browns on a plate

    Excellent Server. Terrible Cook and District or Division Manager cooking. Ordered Allstar meal - Medium Scrambled Eggs - Golden Brown Waffle - Sausage My server asked several times to cook my order as requested. I received runny eggs and a burned waffle. The manager was recooking my eggs when I received the burnt waffle. I decided to pay for my meal and leave the server a nice Tip. She was excellent! I have nothing positive to say about the cook and manager. They really tested my PTSD concerns. This is why I paid and left. Please try and correct my concern. This is the second bad experienced at this location. The last time a server took my order to the wrong table and then went back and tried to bring the same food to me. It's amazing that the same District/ Division Manager was working.

    Clemson Waffle House - Solid Orange
    Jon W.

    A first visit in a dog's age to South Carolina brought us to Clemson's Waffle House. Tim, our Clemson host suggested we eat there. He proved to be the perfect guide to a long-overdue gastronomic and cultural experience. Tim had us at "waffle' but we enjoyed the entire event, from the arrival in the parking lot to our server Ashley's departing exhortation to "come back as much as you want." For reasons we'll need to learn more about sometime in the future, Tim informs us that the Clemson Waffle House, like most in the chain, is set at a jaunty angle to the street. The parking lot features a skillfully painted orange tiger paw, the mark of Clemson's athletic teams. Upon entering the establishment we also noted the orange palette of the wait staff uniforms, which we learned is a special feature of Game Day attire.* Our visit occurred on the day of the Clemson-Texas Christian University game.** We arrived-mid morning for breakfast. Unlike The University of Iowa, where football contests are scheduled for 11 a.m. to curtail students' pregame festivities and consumption of adult beverages, Clemson plays in the afternoon, and we were seated without delay. We learned afterward that the morning the day after games is the busiest time for the 'House.' Once seated we were treated to richly illustrated and smartly designed laminated menus that double as placemats. How sweet it that? After a careful and thorough examination of the menu, along with much deliberation with Tim and Debra, a comfort food specialist sans pareil, I ordered the 2 pork chops and eggs, with wheat toast and 'covered' [with cheese**] hashbrowns. The latter can also be 'smothered' [onions], 'chunked' [ham], 'topped' [chili], 'diced' [tomatoes'], 'peppered' [jalapenos], 'capped' [mushrooms] -or 'scattered all the way.' We'll leave a description of that final option up to your imagination. Debra and Tim both went with Fiesta omelets, a tasty south of the border concoction. Tim elected to smother his hashbrowns. Bottomless coffee and diet Cokes completed our selections. The food and service were terrific. And having spent much of my life in the San Francisco Bay Area where the finest eateries pair small portions with high prices, we found the prices jaw-droppingly low, and the fare bountiful. The Waffle House chain has somehow managed to combine fast food efficiency with the charm and comfort of old-fashioned diners. No small trick, and likely tied to notions of southern hospitality, a more leisurely pace of life and, alas, low wages and a lower standard of living. Tim informs us that as part of the opening of a Waffle House, they bury the key to the door in the cement walkway out front because "it will always be open." We look forward to a return visit. * You'll observe in the pictures filed with this review that Tim sported an orange aloha shirt in keeping with Clemson's Game Day 'solid orange' dress code. ** For those of you keeping score, here's a recap of the game: http://espn.go.com/ncf/recap?gameId=292690228 **Tim, a brilliant chef in his own right, did comment that the 'covered' option for hashbrowns could be improved with a choice of cheeses. At present, American cheese is the sole offering on the menu. I'm not sure what he had in mind, but a sharp cheddar might in fact make for an interesting alternative to the classic choice currently available.

    Great place. We sat at the bar for dinner and drinks and had an awesome experience. Our bartender…read moreElliot did a fantastic job even though he was extremely busy. Drinks were on point and the food was delicious. Well done. Dylan and Maia

    One of the benefits that steakhouses have over other restaurants is that they need to execute one…read morething well. Steak - that's all. Unfortunately Rick Erwin's missed the mark on its primary assignment. The restaurant is nicely decorated in the style of a steakhouse. Dark wood paneling and shutters adorn the walls with pleasant dim lighting shining down from above. Service was strong with a team serving our table. We were greeted immediately and offered water and a drink. However, we were not offered bread, which is unusual for a steakhouse. Our appetizer of Buffalo Cauliflower was just ok. The breading had a subtle after-taste, which may have been from the batter being undercooked. And the buffalo sauce was not very prominent. So the dish was not as strong as I would have wanted. For our main course, we ordered the porterhouse for two--the signature dish at any steakhouse. Unfortunately, it fell short. When the steak arrived, it lacked the expected presentation; it had been grilled rather than broiled and was served without the usual butter or sizzling finish. That missing sizzle wasn't just visual--it showed in the flavor. A proper porterhouse should have a rich, salty, buttery finish, but this one was surprisingly bland. Just as disappointing, instead of being presented as the centerpiece of the table, the steak was served on a plate that we were apparently expected to eat directly from. It felt odd and took away from what should have been a standout experience. Overall, this was a below average experience for a steakhouse. We will try it again down the road since the choices near Clemson are limited. But Rick Erwin's should really revisit what it is trying to be and then decide how to be that.
