    My family and I stumbled upon Dempsey, a locally owned restaurant, in Clinton South Carolina. Dempsey is a take out or sit down restaurant that offers an all you can eat pizza bar, salad bar,and they also have a menu that you can order sandwiches and pizzas off of. I was surprised to see all the different pizzas they had to offer because some I have never seen before, like taco pizza and the loaded vegetable pizza. However though, for me the crust was very thin and flaky (kind of like a pie crust), but I still enjoyed every bite I had. My daughter enjoyed the baked pasta they also had in the pizza bar. In addition, I loved the salad bar; it was very cleaned and stocked often. My family and I liked how the salad bar had shredded lettuce instead of regular because it made it easier to eat and enjoy. Furthermore, Dempsey dessert pizza were pretty decent, but their cinnamon puffed pastry was to die for. I would definitely recommend you to try it. On top of the yummy food, our waiter was amazing and the staff were kind and friendly.They worked very hard to ensure there were no holes on the salad bar and pizza bar. Also, the restaurant atmosphere was average not too loud or quiet. Even though Dempsey is a smaller restaurant, I would recommend getting their early, because you might be waiting in a line during dinner time. Furthermore, Dempsey offer punch cards and after 10 punches you get a free meal, which I think is very nice. Also if it is your birthday Dempsey will make you a personalized pizza that has your age on it, I thought that was really cool and I never seen this done at any other pizza buffet. In addition, if you are 55 and up Dempsey has a senior day every Tuesday. Lastly, I would definitely recommend you checking out Dempsey with your family or friends, because you will have a great time. Next time when I am in the Clinton area I will definitely stop by Dempsey again.

    Went back with our wives for their PC reunion and had a fun day outside tailgating with all the other Blue Ho's. After a long day of drinks and sun, we decided to hit up the former Pizza Inn for a buffet. This place was packed on a Saturday night, but we got a table for our large party and started to devour some pizza. I usually don't like buffets due to everyone touching the food and many times the pizzas are not good (like Cici's!). This pizza was much better than expected and we enjoyed our time laughing about some old war stories during their time at PC.

    I gave this place a shot while in town because of the yelp reviews I read. From the outside I thought man this looks like an old Pizza Inn. When I went in and looked at the food it definitely reminded me of one. It was very nostalgic in terms of the setup and I enjoyed the pizza just as much now as I did when I was a kid going to the neighborhood Pizza Inn. I loved the amount of choices on the buffet. They had all kinds of combinations of pizzas with some dessert pizzas added in. There was also a lasagna/spaghetti type of dish put out and a salad bar. The salad bar was unexpectedly large and well kept. The staff seemed to maintain a steady stream of fresh food and service. Several people seemed to be regulars and there were at least two sports teams that came while I was there. The restaurant was large enough to accommodate a fairly large crowd and there seemed to be sectioned off locations within the restaurant. I see why so many gave this place their approval. It's definitely a solid pizza buffet!

    If you're looking for the best pizza East of the Mississippi...this ain't it. But if you're looking for good quality food at a reasonable price, you hit the Jack-pot! Dempsey's Pizza has one of the best pizza buffets I've ever been to and the service is an absolute 10! If you live near Clinton South Carolina or just traveling through, Dempsey's Pizza is a must!

    My wife and I stopped here for lunch today while traveling. We were looking for a KFC or decent…read morechicken spot but had no luck. So we whipped in here. The waitress was the least friendliest waitress I've seen in a long time. I asked her if they had Chicken thighs or breasts (Bone in). We'd never been to a Wendy's looking for chicken, so I didn't know. I did see that they had tenders. She said no, they didn't and didn't say really what my options were...just stared out toward the front lobby. I was waiting for her to at least explain what choices I had. It was like pulling teeth or she didn't understand English. I had a hard enought trying to understand what she was saying. I finally orered three chicken wings with a sauce. My wife asked if they had the Caesar salad and she wanted chicken in it. I think she asked if they had nuggets or something to go on the salad. She said she could get chicken tenders. Right about that time one of the cooks was getting the caesar salad ready and looked at my wife and said "It comes with grilled chicken in it". So my wife said "I'll just take that then". They brought out my nuggets and my wife's salad with grilled chicken. She could hardly eat the chicken due to it's consistency. My tenders were hot and okay. I looked at our bill and it was $21.46 and I see they've charged her for two chicken tenders, which we didn't order and they didn't give us. My wife went up to check on it and they said they were brining out two tenders for her. Finally they came out with the tenders after another five minutes. She really didn't like the salad. Lettuce was limp and not crispy at all. She ate one of the tenders and we left. Worst Wendy's I've ever been to and probably the last I go to. No thanks to hostess LaShawn.

    So. Wendy's. Yk for what it's worth this wasn't a bad experience. The food was good. Like nothing…read moreto complain there. The fries were crispy. So were the chicken nuggets. The chocolate frosty was good. However my friends frosty was like not full when he received it. The service was a bit slow but not awful. The atmosphere was a typical Wendy's atmosphere at 9:00 pm. So yeah. Like it was okay but rlly, could have been a little better. Left me feeling a little empty.

    First time at this buffet. Place was packed so we just knew…read morewe were in for a treat. Friends had been there before and told us about it. The rolls were hot right out of the oven, light and fluffy almost like a krispy cream donut without the frosting. Waitress came around fast for refills on our drinks. I really liked the fried chicken. The batter was light yet crispy. Really good! They had ham as well and that was good too. Pretty good size buffet. Lots of veggies to choose from as well as hot dishes. You could find something even if you were picky. The Mac and cheese has to be mentioned it was no box mix! Just like Mom made , cheesy goodness!! When your done eating they had a peach cobbler that looked homemade as well as ice cream in a machine, no fake ice cream either! Creamy and delicious!! We will for sure take a ride over again sometime. Its approx a hour and a half away.

    First, the name changed to Pops BBQ…read more The menu has a variety of items: my first plate, I got a piece of fried pork chop, a fried chicken thigh, mashed potatoes with brown gravy, pinto beans, and green beans. Both the chop and thigh were overcooked. The pinto and green beans were good. This round gets a 6 out of 10. My next plate consists of fried flounder, baked chicken , white rice with white gravy, and cabbage. The flounder was good and hot. The chicken was a little undercooked and lacked seasoning. The cabbage was good. My aunt was right about rice; it wasn't even close to being done. This round, I give a 5 out of 10, mainly because of the rice. And last of all, their fatback was way too salty!!! And I love me some fatback. Overall, I give Pops 2 STARS with the potential to get better.
