Had a wonderful dinner here. The entire atmosphere is relaxing and the waitstaff was amazing. The menu had something for everyone we have some picky eaters in our group and even they had something on the menu for them. read more

Rick Erwins is my go to for special occasions and I am never disappointed. Last night was no exception. We (all 6 of us) were greeted warmly, taken to a booth which was all set up for us. My jacket wisked away. The server was easy, friendly and knew her way around the wine list! Dinner was delicious as expected. A great way to celebrate a 91st birthday and a 29th anniversary. We will be back. read more

The service was excellent and friendly. The food was delicious. Highly recommend the surf and turf with the lobster!! Also, the calamari was the best I've ever had!!! The flourless chocolate cake was super rich and yummy. I come back anytime I have something to celebrate. read more

I have been twice before to this restaurant on a Friday night before a Clemson home game. It's really busy and hard to get a reservation on these nights. My last visit was very disappointing. We had an early reservation but it was already pretty busy. The servers are very good, but they were really rushing us through each course. Oysters Rockefeller, which we have gotten before were cold and had obviously been sitting out. Only one of the 3 family style sides we got with our steaks was hot. The creamed spinach was so cold I couldn't eat it. My filet was delicious but my husband's ribeye was not cooked to his order. Unfortunate experience for this "high end" of a restaurant. read more

Our receptionist started the evening out with a beautiful smile and warm welcome... then as we sat down our waiter, David, introduced himself and the night continued to be a delightful experience. The Surf and Turf was absolutely perfect as was the Wedge. Splendid restaurant! Katrina and Roger S read more

My family and I LOVE Rick Erwin's Clemson. It's upscale and delicious. They remember you and always make us feel at home. It's by far our favorite spot in town. read more

Had a Birthday dinner for my Mother in August. When you go to a nice restaurant and and the dress code is "dressy" and patrons are in shorts, tee shirts and flip flops and the code is not enforced it's hard to justify spending $500.00 plus and want to return. Especially when the food was just ok and not prepared correctly and the service was mediocre at best! read more

The food was wonderful. I had the surf and turf with a Caesar salad. The filet was cooked perfect. The steamed vegetables were awesome. The staff was very friendly, helpful, and I thought they went above and beyond to make our dining experience memorable. But, the best part of the whole meal was the desert. It looked like a work of art, almost to pretty to eat. I had the key lime pie and it was great!! I would recommend Rick Erwin's to anyone that's looking for good food, a nice atmosphere, and a really good time. read more

Rick Erwin's Clemson - The key lime pie looked very elegant - Steakhouses Near Me - Clemson, South Carolina

Third time here for us. One of our favorite places. My wife likes the crabcakes and I am a fan of the salmon and bone in rib eye. (they know how to Pittsburgh it perfectly there.) Service has always been top notch. Last time we had Kathlene. Save room for desert. The pecan pie alamode and creme brulee are excellent. read more

Wonderful evening with great service and food. Restaurant a little loud as tables are close together and a bit crowded in the section we were in. read more

The ambience is very nice and the steaks were delicious and the service was impeccable highly recommended. Selections of wine were great as well read more

Mother's Day "brunch"...wait staff were excellent! Greeting at door was very nice. Made one feel welcome.Entrees,although good, finally were brought to table after a 75 minute wait. Tempted to call next door and order in a pizza. read more

Very good meal. KC strip steak cooked perfectly. My 17 year old daughter loved her crab cake served over orzo with tomato and basil

Valentines Day special meal was fabulous. Best I've had in a long long time. Service was spot on. Steak and lobster were perfect.

Best steak in town. Seafood is delicious as well. If you're going to go, go all out and get dessert. Creme brûlée is to die for.

My buddy and I went to RE after a Clemson Basketball game recently and it was a good experience. I ordered one of the specials, the Kansas City bone-in strip, unfortunately I was told several minutes later that they were out. So, I re-ordered the Delmonico, which was okay. I have had better steaks at Ruth's Chris (Atlanta) and Mastro's (Beverly Hills). The loaf bread provided was very good. We shared the tempura broccoli and mushrooms. The broccoli was excellent and the mushrooms were decent. In addition we spit a bottle of Terra Valentine (Cab). So, for $200+ was it memorable? Not really, but I would go again to further explore the menu. read more

We were sadly disappointed the last time we were at dinner there to celebrate our Anniversary, as we had a great time on prior occasions. We found BUGS crawling in the salad! The waitress was initially not apologetic, only saying that the salad is grown onsite (as if this is acceptable for having live bugs?!) We also told her that there was a lactose intolerant guest, and on more than 2 occasions she brought us food that would trigger the allergy! One of the guests also never got their dinner until everyone else had almost completed theirs! The waitress forgot to include it when we all ordered! We did not even get an apology at the end from a Manager, or compensated. Needless to say, we left very disappointed. read more

I have been here several times with my boyfriend over the last year and every time I come to visit him we have to go eat here! The food is insanely amazing and by far some of the best I have ever eaten. Tonight we visited again and we were saddened to hear the calamari was sold out; not surprised because it is heaven on a plate! Evan waited on us and he has before but he really made tonight great. I wanted to try something that was on the restaurant week menu so he checked with the kitchen and told me that I could get the lobster carbonara. I am not a bacon fan and asked if I could have it without, but he told me that it was already mixed in so I said I would pick around it. A little while later the food came out and he mentioned it took longer because he asked the cooks to make a fresh batch without the bacon. I have been a waitress for a few years and he definitely knows how to make people come back again! Highly recommend if you want a delicious meal!! read more

Great food, great service, and friendly atmosphere. It was my wife's birthday no they brought bought our creme brûlée with a candle in it at no charge! Will definitely return soon. read more

Awesome dinner after a long week. Always, always, always a pleasure here! Greg is the best mixolgist ever!

EXCELLENT! Came here on a business dinner with some colleagues and I definitely wasn't disappointed. Crab cakes, surf and turf, and sirloin all were cooked to perfection. Danny is an amazing server and very helpful when we had questions. Definitely recommend! read more

We were visiting Clemson for a wedding, and had the pleasure of having dinner at Rick Erwin's. Our waiter, Danny, welcomed us with great service and southern charm. Started with a chopped salad that was lightly dressed with fresh vegetables. We ordered the bone-in ribeye steak. Seasoned and grilled to perfection. Ranked as up there with the best quality and prepared steaks we have had at a restaurant. We ordered several sides, whipped mashed potatoes, hoppin john's and steamed broccollini. All were excellent and plentiful. Definitely, the best restaurant in Clemson. read more

We go every time there is a home game. Great service and food! Highly recommend Chris as a server. A+

On Friday night, 02/13, we had a party of four with reservations at 7 PM. Although we were seated very quickly, the service was extremely slow. Took an hour and 45 minutes before we got our food. Meat was not hot, and the waiter was "unable to locate" their regular menu. Just disappointed with the overall experience. read more

Greg, the bartender, was a treasure. All fresh ingredients, even the ginger, in our drinks. Donna, our server, was the perfect balance of helpful without hovering. The food was as good as it gets. Will definitely go back! read more

So thankful Rick Erwin's came to town. We have enjoyed many meals here and we are never disappointed. Our waiter tonight Jake was affable and professional with a pleasant demure. The mussels appetizer was the best mussels we have ever had and we frequently have them in Bermuda and Italia. The introduction of southern flavors with many of their dishes is a delight. A bit of bacon and onions cooked until sweet with their Brussel sprouts, made in house andouille sausage and of course Clemson Blue Cheese. The goat cheese incorporated into the mashed potatoes in the Mixed Grille was a delicious. 5 stars! read more

Our first time eating at Rick Erwin's. Service was excellent, food was outstanding, atmosphere perfect. Special thanks to our server Dan!

My family had dinner on Monday 4/27/2015 my wife and I took my 85 year parents for a celebration. They tried to order the Wagu sliders and they were out and the chef refused to accommodate with something else. So we ordered the crab cake appetizers for my folks and they charged us the entre price. I was under whelmed with the service and food quality for the price. Not worth the visit. Drive to Greenville and eat at better restaurants selections. read more

Service excellent. Food excellent. Great dining experience. The address in our gps did not take us right there, and had to call to get directions. Mainly because the location is so new. Definitely worth the call, because we truly did enjoy ourselves. read more

Great food, great service. Nice wine list. We dined here after our visit to the Eclipse. Highly recommend.

I have been to Rick Erwin's many times in downtown Greenville and in Clemson. I was a little disappointed this time in Clemson. The service was good but not as good in the past. I like to order food that I normally do not cook at home. Therefore I ordered the Veal Marsala. Although it was seasoned well the meat was tough. The vegetables were very good and the flourless chocolate cake was delicious! read more

When the night is special and everything about the meal needs to be special too, Rick Erwin's is the place to go

Rick Erwin has another winner. Had a terrific dinner last night. Chose surf and turf and it was outstanding. The steak was melt in your mouth delicious and the lobster was sweet and wonderful. Clearly this restaurant is high end and VERY expensive but everything is perfection. It was my wife's birthday and there is no classier way to entertain a love one than with Rick Erwin. The service is very professional and they honored my wife with a thoughtful greeting card, a special appetizer, and a tasty dessert. read more

It was our first visit but it won't be our last. I'm still salivating remembering the tiramisu. I had the ribs and they couldn't have been more tender. I could have enjoyed fewer French fries and more salad but how can I complain? I'm already thinking about when to return. read more

First time to Rick Erwin's and it was great! Good food & good service. No rushing us in and out, a very relaxing evening.

Great upscale casual restaurant! We had the filet, the scallops, and the crab cakes. They were all perfectly prepared and scrumptious. Our server Victoria was very attentive. We enjoyed our evening at Rick Erwin's Clemson immensely! read more

Overall, our visit this weekend was positive. The atmosphere was very refined and the staff was competent and pleasant. The food consumed by 4 of the 5 guests received rave reviews. Unfortunately, the chef should not have sent the Delmonico steak out of the kitchen. It was over cooked, dry, and unflavored. It was visibly evident. No mention was made so as not to detract from the experience of others. read more

We love the food, atmosphere and staff. It's our evening go to restaurant. The staff are always courteous and eager to please. Great food and service. Thank you Meghan for all your help and friendly smile. read more

Great atmosphere. Jeremy makes us feel like family and the wait staff is very attentive. Donna, Chris, Evan and Victoria do a great job. I had the crab cakes and they were perfect! Wonderful evening with friends and family. We will be back!!!!! Favorite place to eat in Clemson!!! read more

We frequent both of Rick's locations and really enjoyed dinner the other night. The veal was tender and everything was very good. The dinner was on point. read more
