    Chicken salad on croissant
    Debra F.

    Once again our visit to the Chestnut Grill was great! Started with fried mushrooms which were fried perfectly and got a mountain of them! I got chicken salad and it was very good. My husband ordered french dip and he said it was good, although not a whole lot of meat. The onion rings were the only kind of disappointment. They were skinny with not much flavor. Our waitress was excellent. The restaurant itself is very nice and not over crowded even though it was busy. Sad there was no smoked gouda pimento cheese.

    For great food in a family friendly environment, you must try Chestnut Grill. There is normally not a long wait and the staff are super friendly. The restaurant has been around for a while and could use some upgrades but the food is always fresh and flavorful. I would highly recommend the soups and the fried green tomatoes. The pork chops use to be my favorite but they have switched to small thin pork chops instead of the thicker cut choice that tastes way better. The seafood platter is always a hit. Definitely grab dessert if you have room for it.

    What a quant out of the way place. Warm croissants, slathered with honey, so, so good. Ribs, okra and fries. Don't get much better than that. I would go out of my way next time just to go here. It was that good.

    Lunch menu

    Found another Diamond in the rough, this is a family owned establishment which a relative recommended. Did lunch here today, let me say first lunch is served from 11-3:00pm. I ordered the cream of broccoli soup to start, my entree was the pick 2 seafood items, I chose the fried flounder and the fried oysters with the beer batter dip onion rings. The food was fantastic I highly recommend those oysters,I'm still salivating over them. My wife had the fried flounder and a large crab cake With a house salad and cheese broccoli the crab cake was so crispy and sweet, & our cousin had the fried shrimps. They serve warm honey dipped croissants as a starter for every meal,and they also are fantastic. So if you find yourself in Orangeburg SC make it your business to give this place a try you won't regret it.

    Steak Kabobs & Fried Okra

    If you are looking for a nice sit down style restaurant in Orangeburg I would recommend Chestnut Grill. The restaurant is very clean. The staff is very friendly & attentive. We were with a large group & our service was amazing. I would recommend either the pork chops or kebabs for the entire. For your sides the fried okra or cheesy potato are both excellent options. If you decided to go for a side salad as your second side the Honey Mustard is a must. Plus with the Honey Mustard you get bacon & almonds!

    Croissants - free at dinner

    This place was a fun find while traveling through the area! Lots of options ranging in price resulting in something for everyone! Portions were very generous and food was all pretty good! Super polite and helpful staff. Meal starts with complimentary croissants which were DELICIOUS! Chicken a little over cooked for my taste (I'm very particular about my chicken), but overall good experience. They honored my weird dietary need to cook my meal without butter, which I always appreciate! They let 2 members of our party share one large dish as well, which I also appreciate. I'd definitely come back again!

    A shitty restaurant

    Complete trash. Ordered a steak with okra, a salad, a margarita and a sprite Steak was "supposed" to be medium rare, steak was tougher than a box a nails, and not to mention it was raw in the middle, not even cooked, medium rare not raw. Fired okra was undercooked, eating raw okra with breading Sprite tasted like sink water with co2 in it. The only good thing was the salad that obviously comes prepackaged. Not to mention the margarita was half salt. Complete trash of a restaurant, could've got a better meal and service by wandering into a cow pasture and biting a hunk out of a cows ass 0/5 worst experience I've had yet, wouldn't eat here unless you're starving and couldn't find a garbage can. And if you're asking about ambiance.... Sit in the parking lot and find a different place to eat

    Hamburger steak with fried okra and broccoli.

    Great local spot with friendly service. Great ribs and fried shrimp as well as steaks. The chicken quesadilla is also a yummy appetizer.

    Ask for the free croissants, you have to ask, otherwise they withhold them. We need to get maximum value when ordering.

    Restaurant was almost empty and hostess, who had an attitude, wanted to seat us right beside…read moreanother couple when there were 20 other open tables. They were the only people in that area. The restaurant and decor were very dusty. Now, let's talk about the food. Subpar at best. The menu has shrunk considerably, along with the portions. None of the old favorites were on the menu. You used to get so much food for breakfast, you could easily share. Very disappointed!!!!

    I was the only one at the seating kiosk waiting on a table, for at least 5 minutes. This store was…read moreNOT busy when I arrived. A man came in behind me and he was immediately identified as Mr. Boatright, come on in. I was left there. Not being prejudice but the server was impartial to him as I assume he was a local. I was traveling through. This upset me. When the server came to seat me she had no eye contact and I thanked her kindly when I was seated and she didn't acknowledge me. I felt alone. The food wasn't good. Cold, weird tasting sawmill gravy. Cold hash brown casserole. I immediately had a BAD bowel reaction to the food! Other tables that arrived after me were served before me. Maybe the kitchen can't keep up with priority. My server, Janice P. was kind as was the cashier. Since I don't go to Orangeburg, SC at all, If I ever do, I will not patronize this CB!!!!! 5.11.26 @ 10:10 am CB 0446 Orangeburg, SC.
