Local favorite for home cooked meals ranging from meat and three (from serving bar) to the best burgers in town/ county!! The Arabian Rooster (AKA fried chicken) is fantastic! Broiled seafood is divine! Chef Salad is fresh and the ranch dressing is homemade! This is a must eat if you are in the area! read more

They are closed permanently. Prior to closing, the cleanliness web downhill with Yousef's passing.

Unfortunately this establishment is closed down now. They had great chicken and some dang good burgers and fish.

They had the best fried chicken around but they are closed now and the building is empty. Too bad we really liked them. read more

Fast service. Amazing burgers! They also have several different style home fries to choose from. read more

Yousef's Kitchen - Large burger all the way with bacon and cheese - Southern Near Me - Westminster, South Carolina

Favorite place to eat without a doubt. Westminster has the best waterfalls and the cherry on top for me has always been Yousefs kitchen afterwards. read more

I like the chef salad that they make here. It has everything you need in a good salad. The small is almost too much for me.

Wellllllllll, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I would skip this place if I were you. To start, Yousef's is located in a very small town. There are no major restaurants nearby, or really any other restaurant option. So after reading all the positive reviews on Yelp I decided to give it a try. Yousef's does offer a nice sized menu with a variety of options. They also have a hot bar where you can pay for each item individually. I had the fried chicken with the David fries and a house salad. My daughter ordered the fried chicken sandwich with Greek fries (seasoned) and onion rings. The fried chicken was ok, but was not very hot and was on the dry side. The house salad was sad... a bit of shredded lettuce and a few scattered diced tomatoes. The ranch dressing was watery. The David fries were ok, but very greasy and slightly undercooked. My daughters sandwich was pretty good, though. Service was a disaster, to be honest. While the woman was sweet, the food took foreverrrrrr to come. Once it finally did arrive my salad was forgotten, as well as my daughter's onion rings. They also gave my daughter crinkle fries instead of the seasoned fries she wanted. We started eating and 15 minutes later (when we were just about done) the waitress came to us with a plate of fried okra instead of the onion rings. She looked at our check and realized that my daughter had received the wrong fries and that okra was not onion rings. At that point I requested a piece of pound cake instead of the onion rings, and the waitress obliged. The cake tasted stale and dry.... To top it all off, the food upset my stomach something terrible later on! Just a terrible experience all around. I am giving two stars because the food tasted ok enough and the waitress was sweet, poor thing. But I would not come back here. read more

Ordered 2 chicken souvlakis to go with coleslaw and Greek fries. Never had such poor food. Chicken strips were extremely dry and over peppered without any tzatziki sauce, tomatoes, cucumbers, or onions - did I say DRY?! Pita bread bland, coleslaw warm and soupy, fries soggy. Not going back ~ $30 wasted. So sad. I noticed on the receipt to text them your feedback, so I tried and used the code on the receipt. It returned a text stating "not a valid code". So, I guess they don't care. read more

Always happy with my meal. Corn fritters are great and the fried chicken livers are done well.

Be careful. Had the hot bar and got food poisining. Currently suffering as I type this.

This is a great local spot. Everyone is friendly and the staff is excellent. Mostly fried food. The fried chicken dinner is spectacular two big breasts delicious coating nice and crispy. The onion rings were very good. The bacon cheese burger was delicious. The peach cobbler was okay. I prefer it crispier. Would definitely go back read more

Friendliest owner you will ever meet. My favorite is his fried chicken. The family all has their favorites. Comfort food like mom makes.

The best in Westminster, SC. Stop in and check it out. Yoursef treats everyone like family, and respect. If you do stop in just ask to speak to Yousef, and you will see what I am talking about. The food is great and there is a hot bar there also. read more

Service is slow unless you call in. Don't expect anyone to follow Covid-19 regulations here. They have 1 sign hardly visible to public. Been waiting almost an hour for our food. Watching call in orders fly out of the kitchen. Nobody's wearing masks, gloves, not social distancing. Waitresses are hugging patrons. Nobody is washing their hands or sanitizing. read more

The food here was very bland. It seemed like the regulars got great service. Ours was just ok. Would not return here again.

Best friend chicken I've EVER EATEN!! My husband was embarrassed I made such a big deal about the food. It is the best local country restaurant ever! read more

Such a great homey place with the most earnest and what an American story Sir Yosef has! This is America and if you don't find something you like and leave full from this kitchen that makes you feel you are at your grandmother's house- it's your own fault! Great girls all to help serve you! read more

Great small town restaurant. The food is second to none and you will leave feeling like family. Truly still has that feel that everybody knows everybody. read more

Best club sandwich you'll eat ever, Yousef cooks the meats fresh!! Hamburgers are phenomenal as well as seafood, anything off the hot bar (meat and three)... I'll just go ahead and say it, the whole menu is GREAT!!!! Yousef's burger is a "must have" when our family comes to visit and some visit quite often..... is it for us or the burgers.... mmmm..... read more

We go there about once a week and usually at off beat times so avoid the crowds. The servers are sweethearts and help each other out so if you have a problem just tell anyone and they take care of you . The food is fine I prefer grilled and they will gladly do it, their coleslaw is always great and if you don't want fried potatoes you can get baked. Their burgers are good and as for their pound cakes, you learn which are best like choc chip. This place is good down home cooking, not a five star so if you want that why are you here!.... relax enjoy a simple good meal read more

Good food, not really a clean place. Building needs remodeling. Service is good Food is out in a reasonable time.

I have to visit here every time I come home. Always provides friendly service and the food is cooked to perfection.

Stop in for lunch. I had country fried steak with mash. And she had baked chicken with sides. All was good. Food good. Service was excellent. Price was reasonable. Would return if in area. read more

Buffet veggies were delish. Country fried steak not so much but the fried chicken was worth it. The staff was the friendliest around. If you're driving through, it's worth a stop! read more

Stopped by after a week of mountain golf on our way back to HHI, what a great staff and great home cooking. We had not ordered the chicken so the owner brought out some to the table to be sure we did not miss his specialty. What a treat to talk with him and hear his love for America. We will stop by next year both going and coming to the mountains. read more

We stopped here based on Yelp reviews and we are glad we did! Our waitress, Elizabeth was a fountain of information ranging from the menu items, to where the best apple orchards are. She was an absolute delight and so was the food. They have a hot bar or you can choose from the menu. Don't miss the fried chicken! read more

While passing through Westminster, SC on the 4th of July, we decided to grab a bite for lunch. We noticed Yousef's was one of the few places in town open on the holiday. We're so glad we stopped! Even though the place was hopping, the staff was attentive and the service friendly. I ordered the Arabian Pita with Greek Fries and Fried Green Tomatoes (picture attached). The food was absolutely delicious and so plentiful I couldn't finish it. My husband got the Club Sandwich with Cole Slaw and Onion Rings. The sandwich had hearty portions of real roast beef a good 1/3 inch thick! Everything was homemade and made to order. The iced tea was very good. I would highly recommend this gem of a restaurant! read more

Yousef's Kitchen - Front of restaurant. - Southern Near Me - Westminster, South Carolina

Several friends told me we should stop at Yousef's if we are in Westminster. We stopped in one afternoon and gave it a try. The place was full of people but we were able to get a seat at a table. We heard the Chicken was the item to try. It was good and was freshly prepared. The Mac & Cheese was good as well as the slaw and the peach cobbler was warm and good. I would consider the place good but not outstanding. read more

Very good local diner. Service is phenomenal and the staff is very friendly. They have a menu full of sandwiches which can be ordered alone or as plates (you get 2 sides with a plate). You can also order different entrees or meat and three. All of the food looked great. My fish sandwich was awesome, the fries and mac and cheese were good but not great. I will definitely return when having lunch in this area. As a small town diner, you would be hard to find one that beats Yousef's. read more

One of the best burgers you could ask for. I'm on a weight loss journey and don't get to eat red meat, but the taste of Yousef's burgers still stick with me. Looking for a hometown restaurant to eat, come here! read more

Amazing food all the time, can't beat home cooked meals. I've ate here for 12 years now and always a pleasant experience. Friendly staff and Yousef makes you feel like your family. Food is amazing!! Just the right breading for onion rings and shrimp, crispy thin not super thick where your just eating bread mostly. BLTs and burgers are my favorite here. Just the right bacon not greasy like some places. Salads are amazingly good and I'm very picky about where I eat salad at. Kid friendly and during covid 19 they still have dine in or dine outside or carry out. Also the Tea is sooooo good!! They also have a small hot bar you can get right away if your in a hurry. The price is reasonable with the amount of food you get. Not expensive read more

Pretty good food, and very good service. Always enjoys going here and eating, the price is pretty low too!

This place looks like a hole in the wall but don't let that persuade you from driving by. Stop and check out the cafeteria style resturant with plenty of menu items and some of the best sweet tea around. And when its time to leave they'll give you a to go cup! Good southern cooked food! read more

Love yousef burgers and mostly everything is delicious. Only thing I don't like is the fried chicken but the rest of the family does so personal preference. read more
