    We love to go to the Blue Canoe from our home in Johnston. In the nice weather, we love to sit in the little outdoor area with picnic tables and umbrellas. The salads are amazing: very generous, great ingredients, and super fresh. Burgers and fries are great too. They have coffee for sale inside, which I have purchased and is extremely good. The indoor atmosphere is charming, cozy, with high ceilings, and part of the cool vibe is from the fact the building was a bank back in the day. Well worth a trip from Aiken, North Augusta, or even Augusta.

    What a disappointment , recommended by the local butcher shop for lunch. Overpriced very much 2 sandwiches comes with a side , 1 water 1 tea = $26.95 . The burger was no bigger than a kids burger . tasty but quantity and price are aweful.

    This cute little Cafe, has all the southern charm you need!! The employees are always so friendly and willing to answer any questions. The owners are some of the nicest people you will meet. I've had several items on their menu and each was delicious. Their biscuits and muffins ,were pretty good. scones are absolutely one of my favorite breakfast items. Sadly I ate it so quick I didn't get a picture!!As far as lunch goes I've had their paninis which are a good choice but the pizza hits home for me. Would recommend this place to anyone. Along with being one of the friendliest places they are also quick. Only downside is this place only opened a week ago so some of the fine detailed are still being worked out, but has become my favorite place in downtown Ridge Spring. Update: New favorite item is the Vanilla Chai, its pure heaven in a cup. Soooo delicious!!

    It's a shame the quaint atmosphere doesn't match the experience as was the case with our visit. The 2 teenagers we interacted with seemed bothered we were even there. And I'll add that we were the only ones in the place. Nothing friendly whatsoever. The girl who took our order was barely verbal at all. We ordered and sat down. The food came out in quick time & the fries were hot. My burger was a special that was supposed to have blue cheese and pickled onions on it and both were lacking to the degree that I took the bun off to . 2 slivers of onion that together were the length of my pinkie were pathetically present and the presence-or lack of- blue cheese was equally disappointing. The burger ( both) were small as evidenced by my pic. For these reasons I wouldn't return and for an even bigger reason I'd never order pizza from here- we watched a girl take pizza boxes from a storage room to the counter. She used her foot to prop them open on the floor and then place on the counter to fold. Disgusting.

    Best Salad EVER!!!!

    Always great, fast service, and the employees are always so friendly. The staff get to know their customers and do it right every time.

    Nice addition to the Ridge. Good pizza with toasty crust. Ice cream is a hit of course.

    We were on our way from Hilton Head to Asheville on back roads escaping traffic from hurricane…read moreIrma. Rout 321 took us to 178 right through Batesburg-Leesville. Yelp yielded the InsideOut Cafe. The weather was mid-seventies and perfect for dining on their porch. The whole backyard is clustered with tables & umbrellas, gazebo and lights that sparkle at night ( I'm sure. I was there at lunch) I had a breakfast wrap At least 150%better than any fast food wrap I've ever had. The wrap itself was thin, so you didn't feel like you were eating a mouthful of dough. The BACON was crispy !! Just right. I also had an ice coffee with pumpkin spice flavor! To top this off try the mint / chocolate tart ‼ It's a few miles off 178. Well worth the few minute drive.

    This place is a hidden gem! I never would've thought it would be hidden in small town…read moreBatesburg-Leesville. The atmosphere is amazing, 5 stars. I can't wait for it to cool off so we can go hang out with some craft beer and wine around the outdoor fire pits. The food was also great, coming in at 4 stars. I had the Cow Catcher sandwich (roast beef and cheddar with horseradish) and my wife had a turkey sandwich. The Cow Catcher was everything I imagined, very bold and tangy, layered with enough meat to balance the panini style toasted bread. My wife got a turkey sandwich, but hers was short on meat and didn't pair well with cheddar. The service was good, but the server was a bit awkward. We tried to be friendly, but she wasn't very talkative. She wasn't rude or anything, just shy and a touch awkward, so we give service 4 stars. Overall, 4/5 stars, and I'll definitely be back to see if they can upgrade to 5! Also, I want to try a "mystery beer" on the next visit. I was disappointed that we were the only ones there for about 30 minutes but when we left there were 2 other parties. Hopefully business picks up. I don't want B-L to lose such a nice spot!

    Great pizza. Recommend logging on their website to check out the menu - especially the first page -…read moreso you can be prepared for the authentic Neapolitan traditions. We'll be back!

    Review response: Wow…read moreCliff, your response speaks volumes as to your loyalty to customers you know have been loyal to you. You don't get to change the narrative. If you were to review the video of our transaction last night, you would have quickly noticed, my husband had no reason to hide anything. We were not aware of your strict policies of bringing in anything from the outside and would not have done it if it had not been for a medical emergency. We didn't call ADA, just called you out for the rude way voiced your request. A video review and customers in your establishment can quickly confirm my husband put the can down on your counter when speaking with your hostess and only picked it up to sit and wait for a table to be cleaned. You then proceeded tell us to leave, you did not accept outside trash and you sold refreshments there. I would have had much more respect if you could have genuinely apologized for the error, which despite your claim, is not what you did yesterday or in your response below. Thank you for your input. Original review: We overlooked poor customer service for years because we loved the pizza at Apizza Di Napoli. Last night changed that. My husband is a Type 1 diabetic and his blood sugar was 70 and dropping rapidly just before leaving forthe restaurant. He drank a Sprite while I drove us to treat the low, and to provide time to be seated and to order food while avoiding a medical emergency. We unfortunately brought the can inside with him. Even after we explained the medical situation, the owner refused to let us enter or seat us with the can, which was now empty as there was a wait to be seated, and showed no compassion or understanding. In fact, he was downright rude about it. We were weekly customers, ordering take out so frequently that they didn't have to ask our name when we picked it up but after this experience, we won't be back. Great pizza doesn't make up for poor treatment of loyal customers.
