Stopped for breakfast on the way to the beach. I had French toast and onion sausage and wife had an omelet a with grits. Everything was excellent! And the onion sausage is super good. Waitress was friendly and attentive Rest room was clean Great mom and pop restaurant. You can't go wrong! read more

Stopped in on the way to Hilton Head SC, we were seated quickly and if you looked at it it was a mix in appearance between a Waffle House and a rax roast beef (yep just aged myself). The food was good, not amazing, but hey let's be real, we didn't stop here to get a Michelin star meal, we stopped for warm food on a cold day and use the restroom. The food came out cooked well and everyone stated it tasted good. I got a burger that was better than fast food, and a pie with ice cream. It was good as well. Service was good and the bathrooms were clean. What more could we ask for. If in the area again I would stop. read more

Great food, large portions. We had lunch. Husband had fried chicken with rice and gravy, butter beans and sweet potato casserole. I had chopped sirloin with salad and green been casserole. Every was excellent and hot. Our server, was top notch. Very friendly and efficient. Will definitely stop there again on our way to the mountains. read more

As usual the food came And I forgot the photos until it was gone. It was really good. We're from central Indiana and love comparing the differences in seasoning and ingredients in our favorites. It Was a find! Right off the highway. Could not have been better. The service was just as wonderful and friendly read more

This unassuming restaurant turned out to be a jewel. We were out in the middle of nowhere, looking for a restaurant. We hoped this one might be at least okay, but it was far more than that! I had one of the daily selections, beef tips over rice with green beans and garlic mashed potatoes. Every bite was delicious! The food was perfectly seasoned and delicious! My lifelong friend had a cheese burger and onion rings which he said were good. The wait for service and our food was a bit but it was worth it. The staff was very busy but very friendly. read more

Convenient location off of 26 for travelers. The staff are hard working and friendly. The location felt like a classic diner. The omelette was amazing. The one ding was the hash browns. I like a crisp top taste, but they were burnt all the way through. Would definitely stop again if we're passing by. read more

Bill & Fran's Restaurant - A step back in time! - Diners Near Me - Newberry, South Carolina

During our five day stay in Newberry, we found ourselves dining at Bill and Fran's three time..it's just that good! This local spot serves up classic southern fare, and their lunch specials are a standout. Over the course of our visits, I tried the chicken and dumplings, a pimento cheeseburger, and the chicken salad platter. While everything was delicious, I'd come back just for that chicken salad. It's a simple dish, but when done right, it's truly something special. And the prices? Dirt cheap! You can get a hearty, flavorful meal without breaking the bank. read more

Bill & Fran's Restaurant - Apple cobbler served hot!!!!! - Diners Near Me - Newberry, South Carolina

That was an adventure!! The person who described the place looking like an old Waffle House merging with Rax was exactly correct. Don't let that put you off. We were way past the lunch time crowd and this place was hopping! I had an APPLE SALAD WITH GRILLED CHICKEN. This was something I would have expected at a high end restaurant. A great mixture topped off with their Tangy Apple Cider Vinaigrette Dressing. It was tangy and I should have asked if they sold it separately. Hubby had a Philly cheesesteak sandwich oozing with cheese. They have something called raw potatoes. The poor waitresses, we heard multiple times people questioning what that is. Our food was delicious but this place is not the cleanest. Not sure if it was because they were so busy, but the floors really needed to be swept. Had it not been for that. I would have e given a higher rating. Also the waitress has no idea what gluten is and wasn't helpful when I was asking for suggestions. But once our food came she was very attentive. read more

Bill & Fran's Restaurant - Diners Near Me - Newberry, South Carolina

This local spot was packed at 12:30 pm on a Saturday. Customers were fighting over tables as they were bussed. Our first table got taken away by some people that came in after us. We were waiting for a table to be bussed when another server questioned whether we were next but we didn't see any other people wanting a table. I ordered Beef Tips over Rice with Creamed Potatoes and Green Beans. She ordered Steak Fingers with Potato Salad and Broccoli Casserole. The granddaughter ordered Macaroni and Cheese. Her Friend ordered Cheese Fries. I thought my meal was great. The creamed potatoes were actually mashed potatoes with gravy. I guess restaurants don't call them that anymore. I don't know what I was expecting but it wasn't what I received. They were delicious. The beef tips over rice was really good. The green beans were okay. She didn't care for the potato salad but enjoyed the steak fingers and broccoli casserole. Our granddaughter didn't like the baked macaroni and cheese. She ordered the Lemon Loaf Cake with her meal but they were out of it and it took until the end of the meal to find out so we skipped dessert. read more

Service was quick and friendly. The food was good the pecan pie and fried apple pie were fantastic. I would highly recommend if you are driving by to stop and eat. It's a perfect family friendly diner. read more

I googled best place for breakfast in Newberry and they popped up so on my way to Columbia I decided to check them out. Soon as I walked in I was greeted by a friendly waitress at the counter. This is the type of place the waitress calls you baby and you just know customer service would be awesome and it was. I was in the mood for fish and grits so i ordered that with a pancake on the side. The fish wasn't fresh, just straight store bought, frozen from the box to the fryer. So I didn't enjoy that at all. But the pancake was yummy, had a great buttery flavor. The place was jam packed on a Friday afternoon. I did get a side of the sweet potato casserole to go and my goodness prob the best I ever had. I'd definitely go back but just won't get the fried flounder again. They do have fresh bone in catfish but I don't do well with bones so I'd prob try lunch or an omelette next go round. read more

This is a good, clean roadside diner with a daily menu and more. The flounder filet was a bit overcooked, but the wait staff was great and nice interior and exterior. I would stop again. read more

I paid too much attention to the written reviews about the food and missed some of the pictures of the building before deciding to go here. Yes, the service was friendly, and I'd say the food was fine. And if you think of the building as a remodeled Waffle House you will be OK here. It was definitely busy the day before Thanksgiving! At the time we decided to go here the overall Yelp review was 3.5, which for me is the very minimum I usually like from some place on Yelp. The prices were very reasonable! Be prepared there is one price for cash, and a slightly higher price for using a credit card. That didn't bother me at all, but thought you should know. read more

My wife and i stopped in here off the interstate and this place is a hidden gem...( now it's a country diner, so no cloth napkins) .... But the food is welcoming, delicious, and reasonably priced... we had a cheeseburger and fries ( with Gravy of course) , and an order of fried chicken livers..... Mercedes ( our waitress- I hope I got name correct? ) was engaging, and couldn't have been nicer... robert - the cook kept us entertained, and this guy can seriously, seriously cook.... Burger was fantastic... and chicken livers ( best I ever had ) were the ..... Big thumbs up .... Rock on Robert and crew!!!!! We'll hit it up again... Kmac out... read more

Food was good, I got special, husband ordered off menu- they were super quick, they were very busy, a little dark for my tastes, but they had the blinds closed. Good food. Decent prices, it is a diner. read more

Said it was first come first serve we got there and got cut in front of and people were just seating themselves. I tried to do the same and was told to wait at the front. Very unhelpful and unfriendly service I don't think you get seated unless you're a senior citizen. Going to school at Newberry and being apart of a team on campus I'm gonna try to let everyone know to go anywhere but here. Rudest people I've interacted with since being in town most definitely. read more

Absolutely delicious food! Great Service and good prices! Would recommend Bill & Fran's Restaurant to anyone interested in a good place for shop price. read more

The food was immaculate! My daughter can't seem to drink out of the water glass and it spilled all over her pants, but besides that there was no wait time for seats and to pay. We definitely got lucky! The servers were so sweet and friendly! Definitely a southern hospitality haha. It was really packed so make sure you find a good time to go, but the food is definitely worth the wait. I will come back for sure. Their burger was huge and for a decently good price, the onion rings were perfectly fried, the sweet potato fries were also perfectly fried, the pancakes however were not fried but they were absolutely scrumptious, the gravy was nice and warm; such a comfort food I could drink it from the bottle! The sweet tea took its sweet time coming to my table, but it was sweet and cold. The straws however broke when I tried to open them, so make sure the paper wrapping is less dense. I wish I could have ordered the fried pickles because I like the green color and they looked really fresh! Definitely a nice little nook in the cranny kitchen and the chefs were spot on with the food. read more

The service and food is absolutely amazing, it's my first time here and I'm still in the booth while writing but I can for sure say this is one of the best home town restaurants I've been to!! read more

I tried to visit this establishment about two months ago. Took me a few minutes before I was acknowledged and told I could sit anywhere. Once seated, I waited an additional 5 minutes without anyone coming to the table. I walked out. Restaurant was busy but no excuse not to have a waitress come by my table. read more

Stopped for gas at neighboring gas station and decided to order lunch to go while traveling. Wow! Best chicken salad I've ever had in my life. I'm gluten free and have eaten a ton of chicken salad. You will not be disappointed. read more

Bill & Fran's Restaurant - Chicken Salad plate - Diners Near Me - Newberry, South Carolina

It was storming bad outside.. it was very cold inside.. it was a meat and three.. the fried chicken was good the squash casserole probably was good if it was hot.. everything was cold.. black eyed peas were just out of the can.. broccoli with cheese sauce??? The cheese sauce was so runny it was under the frozen broccoli...65cents for water will not go back.. portions were large but if you can't eat them ‍ service very good but poor waitress was so busy doing side work as someone came out the kitchen and yelled at the waitress for using to many jelly packs I'm sure they didn't eat the jelly.. only one bucket per shift.. no see I didn't need to know all that!!! read more

First time here. It was out of the way for us but we like trying new places. It's just your typical greasy spoon, which is a good thing. Our waitress was new so she was kinda learning. No big deal. My chipper steak was a little over five and my onions on top were burnt a little. Not to a crisp but more than o like. The chicken breast was very good. The dinning room is a run down type old huddle house looking place. Again no big deal. Prices are reasonable off the menu. However, first time to ever get charged .65 for water. It wasn't even a styrofoam cup. I may could understand if they spent money on a cup but it was plastic. That in my opinion is nickel and dimming the customer. It is what it is. Still prices are fair and food ok. Just average I would use say. I would go back, but not out of my way. read more

Great diner. Good food, large portions, and very friendly staff. Three sister trip gang highly recommends.

I recently started visiting Newberry more often since my son began attending Newberry College, and I was hoping to find some good local spots to enjoy. Unfortunately, this restaurant was a major disappointment. The food was subpar, the cleanliness left a lot to be desired, and the service was downright awful. It's frustrating to see such low standards when there's so much potential for great dining in the area. I truly hope restaurants in this town step up their game--because experiences like this make me not want to stay here any longer than necessary. read more

Housed in what appears to be a former Waffle House structure, this was a convenient stop on our way to the beach. They offer a large selection, particularly "meat and 3" type of fare. I selected carrot and raisin salad, butter beans, and potato casserole. All three were excellent. We ordered corn bread and it was delicious. My husband had the fried chicken and it was hot, tender and crunchy! There is on site parking. The interior is cramped, a la the Waffle House architecture, but the staff is genuinely warm and friendly...sweet, loving folk all! We'll definitely stop in again when we get near the Newberry exit on I-26! read more

Bill & Fran's Restaurant - Fried Buffalo Bleu Chicken Sandwich - Diners Near Me - Newberry, South Carolina

This place was like an upgraded Waffle House. In a good way! I like Waffle House. I had breakfast and it was delicious. The wait staff was very friendly as well. read more

The building is an old Waffle House and the interior is your typical diner. The hum of conversation, kitchen clanging and a baby crying. The scent of Pine Sol was heavy in the air. Families enjoying meals and pouring in to get a seat. The whole experience was exactly what I was after. The fried pickles were too greasy for me, but hand breaded in house. I ordered an egg biscuit, but at 3pm they said it was rare to find a biscuit, so I missed my chance. I opted for a grilled blueberry muffin, 2 eggs over medium and hash browns. Muffin was a touch under done, but grilled well. The eggs and hashbrown were cooked nicely. The service was friendly, the price was right and the food was good, just as the sign said. Thanks, Bill & Fran. read more

This spot was okay. We were able to be sit down quickly. Our server was great. I had the veggie omelet with cheese grits and hash browns. It was really yummy. The grits were not over cooked. And the hash browns were just right. I would have given them 4 stars but the bathroom was almost horrible. I will say that if I had gone to the bathroom before ordering food, I would not have stayed. So I encourage you to use the bathroom at home before going. read more

Excellent variety of options including all day breakfast. Food quality and quantity was amazing and cost was extremely reasonable. Our waitress was very friendly and helpful with questions. Can highly recommend! read more

First off I'd like to say that the server we had was amazing and professional and very kind and fast. JUST NOT TO US. I watched her cater to our neighboring table hand and foot the entirety of there stay. We had to wait 20 minutes just for drinks also I felt that my wife and i where not priority. We are a young mixed couple and to see you be perfect to the Caucasian family was not a good look. I will not say the persons name bc I don't want to ruin anyone's job but come on. read more

The food was delicious home cooking and the service was kind and efficient. Great last minute stop passing through. But they went above and beyond and when I forgot my credit card they were kind enough to mail it to me in florida. Thank you very much! Will definitely stop again when we are in the area. read more

We stopped here while traveling through. We ordered corn bites as an appetizer, they were really good & a lot of them. We both had the hamburger steak with onions, onion rings and french fries. Service was good and the atmosphere is super family friendly. The only reason that I give it a 3 is because the food was very bland. Not seasoned at all. I would go back if I'm in the area, to try the breakfast. read more
