(Get prepped for a detailed review). I'm always up for a good food truck, but to be honest…read moresometimes they get redundant. I even think the lack of variety makes some food trucks more popular than maybe they deserve to be. Barn Bites is every bit deserving of all good things said about them and their food, and if given the opportunity, you REALLY need to be sure and give it a try. My kids (highschoolers) are always down to try a new chicken sandwich.... but to be honest there's not many places you can take a sandwich that it either hasn't been before... or where it just becomes a sloppy mess. So I'm not sure what we were expecting, but Barn Bites was better than any expectation. We waited in a little bit of a line, maybe 7 people back. We ordered at 2:45pm. So, first thing I'm thinking is this is gonna take a while. But it will probably be some chicken thrown in a fryer (from frozen) and they'll throw sauce and something else on it. So it won't take long. But no. Right there in the window, they set the expectation. This is going to take some time, they hand bread/season to order, and it WILL take you 10-12 minutes to get your food. This is also genius. Setting that expectation up front...... THANK YOU! Totally didn't even notice the time pass. We got our food at 3:10. So it took 25 minutes, but we expected a wait... we had people in front of us, and they all had to wait 10-12 minutes. So we were fine with it. In fact this raised our expectations... which is NOT something a food truck wants you to do if they can't back it up. So we sat down about 3:11pm. And I kid you not by 3:13pm we had already decided this was THE best chicken sandwich anywhere. My daughter and I got the Palmetto, my son got the Hot Sam... we did this so I could get a bite of his sandwich and try it. Well, my son inhaled his sandwich. I never got a try. The Palmetto... was other worldly. The spices, the crisp... this was no pressed chicken patty or frozen shredded stuff. This was a thick, chicken sandwich, that was JUICY and not dry. We added the rosemary parmesan fries. The 3 of us said the same thing... there's a place downtown called Grill Marks. Their fries are truffle butter parmesan rosemary. They're delicious but after a while, they're so heavy they make you feel ill. Barn Bites were PERFECTION. Not greasy, not overly saturated with cheese or oil or anything. They were amazing. So think of the best chicken sandwich you've had. ChickFila? Zesto? Even BoJangles. yeah they're fast food places... ok so how about somewhere like Old Mill, or Liberty. This sandwich is better. WAY better. The folks in the truck were super nice. The strawberry lemonade was on point and fresh, with bits of fruit in it. This isn't any ordinary food truck. This is a food truck you want to get in line for, will happily wait for, and will seek out to go back to. I don't make long reviews often, but when someone deserves it.. deserves success and deserves to be known about... I like to at least do my part to spread the word and recognize. Seriously you will NOT be disappointed. Thank you to the folks at Barn Bites food truck, who were at Hazelwood yesterday. You've got this family hooked. I wish you much success and longevity!! We will be back to try the pork chop version, and the other sides.... we got the fries and the cheese balls.... we need more.

Been twice. NEVER GOING BACK! Worst waitress ever. Decided…read moreto give it another try since Elgin has no other breakfast/brunch dining choices. First time NO COFFEE....waitress laughed and said coffee machine broke. The food was served cold and bland; nothing special. Waitress never came around to see if we needed anything. Finally had to get up and go to counter to ask for assistance. Twice now the waitress either ignored us or was blind to us being there. Second time our food must have sat out waiting to be served and was cold and obviously dried out. Waitress was too busy chatting it up with another table, served three other tables that came in after us, talking on phone all whilst we sat ignored and waited ...watched ....waited ....waited and waited while our food sat waiting to be picked up and brought to our table. Absolutely unacceptable. Waitress needs training.

We were really looking forward to trying Cornbread Cafe--new place, new experience, and all the…read moreexpectations that come with wanting to support a local spot. Unfortunately, this visit just wasn't it. We were greeted and told to sit anywhere, which was fine. A server came by to take our drink order, only to let us know they were out of both drinks we originally wanted. No big deal--we pivoted. But then my sweet tea came with Splenda and no spoon to stir it, and silverware never made an appearance at all. What really sealed it, though, was the service--or lack of it. Another server spent close to 20 minutes chatting with a table about something completely unrelated to the restaurant while we sat there unnoticed. During that time, three separate parties were seated after us and were promptly given menus, silverware, and attentive service. We were never checked on again. After sitting there watching everyone else be taken care of, it became pretty clear we weren't going to be served that day. So we got up and left. I always hate sharing experiences like this because I truly want local businesses to succeed. But service matters just as much as the food, and sadly, this visit missed the mark entirely.

Food is great every time we go there, great gyros, burgers and sides…read more A fantastic restaurant.

I visited the Gyromania Grill at 2558 Main Street in Elgin…read morefor lunch today (First Time) and I was totally enthralled & impressed with the restaurant, the food, and the staff. Having moved down to South Carolina six years ago, & given the hyper local establishments nearby my home that offer something I can only say somewhat passes for a gyro sandwich, Gyromania Grill far exceeded my expectations, and passion for an Authentic gyro, the kind I recall from up in New York yonder. From the moment I walked into the restaurant, and was greeted by Sheila, to receiving my Hummus appetizer with pita bread triangles, to receiving my Gyro pita sandwich, I couldn't believe how authentically tasty & delicious the food was. The food is prepared fresh on the spot, nothing laying around in heating hampers, from the french fries that are cut fresh daily, and fried when ordered, to the veggies that garnish the Gyro, to the freshly prepared tzatziki, my taste buds exploded with excitement at how delicious everything tasted. Honestly, I never expected to have that sensation of a well prepared Gyro the likes of what I recalled from NY, down here in S.C. but alas, I found *THE* spot for authentic, Great tasting Greek food. The restaurant itself is bright, open, VERY CLEAN! (I mean, Extreme Clean!) You can tell the employees take pride in presenting the establishment and the food they serve in the spotlight. Watching the staff behind the counter prepare the food, I noted how friendly and happy everyone was, no "fanny frowner /why am I here" faces, and compared to oh so many other food establishments I've been to, that impressed me a lot. I originally was going to order the lemon potatoes with my gyro, but they weren't prepared when I ordered, yet once they were, Sheila and her assistant surprised me by bringing by a little sample for me to taste, so next time I come in, I will absolutely enjoy them with my order, but the greek seasoned fries that came with my Gyro were trey`delicious just the same! The restaurant atmosphere is nice, I got there right before the lunch crowd, so it wasn't too crowded, I'm told sometimes the place can get really packed (no doubt, people enjoy eating delicious & tasty food, & Gyromania Grill delivers that!) The portions are decent, the prices very reasonable, the staff is friendly, and even if you have to drive a little out of the way to get there (as I did) it's well worth the effort. I Absolutely WILL BE Returning again in the very near future, and look forward to sharing the Gyromania Grill experience with folks I know will appreciate how authentic and well prepared this food is. ***** 5-STARS ***** For Cleanliness, Quality, Service & Value! Put Gyromania on your bucket list of places to visit for a great meal! You won't regret it. `JT

Saturday brunch at Breakfast at Ruiz!…read more Cute spot with a really nice vibe. It was definitely crowded, but surprisingly the wait wasn't long at all, and the prices were reasonable. I ordered the shrimp and grits, and they were WELL seasoned. Maybe almost a tad too much going on flavor-wise, but bland was absolutely NOT the problem. The portion was good, everything came out looking great, and I kept seeing other dishes go by that had me questioning my order...in a good way. I'd definitely come back because there were several things on the menu I want to try. Good food, cute atmosphere, reasonable prices, and they handled a busy Saturday brunch crowd well.

Breakfast at Ruiz is absolutely beautiful. The restaurant has a welcoming atmosphere, and we were…read moregreeted as soon as we walked in, which made for a great first impression. Unfortunately, the food didn't live up to the ambiance. We ordered the shrimp and grits and the classic breakfast, and both entrées arrived cold or only mildly warm. The French toast had a nice blend of seasoning, but it was overcooked and had a slightly burnt taste. The breakfast potatoes were also cold, which was disappointing. On a positive note, the mimosas were really good and definitely one of the highlights of the meal. The service was okay--nothing particularly memorable, but not bad either. Overall, while the restaurant is gorgeous and has a lot of potential, the quality and temperature of the food left us underwhelmed. I'm not sure if I'll return, but I do hope they improve the consistency because the space itself is worth experiencing.

It was horrible. The potatoes were three chunks on the plate as a full serving. Ordered the salads extra and they were very small.

We went here on July16, 2026. Arrived 4:50 p.m., prior to their listed opening time. Decided to…read morewait. At approx 5:06 p.m. the "open" sign was on. We tried to enter, but the door was locked. After a few mins. we tried again. Still locked. There is a table with chairs outside, so we sat and proceeded to wait. A few minutes later, the waiter (there was only 1), told us he hadn't bothered to open the door as the chef had not arrived yet. We said it wasn't a problem as we were not in a hurry and we could spend the time having something to drink (iced tea) and perusing the menu. After the chef finally arrived and we could order, we ordered the Dolmadaki to share and two entrees that came with salads. We told the waiter that we would order dessert after dinner. The waiter eventually brought out the salads. Nothing special, but very overdressed. He then brought out the entrees. (In between his service, he spent a lot of time looking at himself and fixing his hair in a mirror on the wall in this small dining room.) My chicken souvlaki was very dry, served in large lumps that were difficult to cut. Potatoes were ok. My husbands beef kabob was flavorless, and his red lentils also lacked flavor. At this point we were still the only patrons and Andrew was the only waiter. He then came over, and asked if we were ready for the check. We informed him that we each wanted to order baklava and that he needed to make sure that our check did not include the Dolmadaki which we never received. He acted surprised that we hadn't received the appetizer, in spite of the fact that we were the only patrons and he was the only waiter. He went back to the kitchen and when he returned he told us that they only had 1 baklava as the chef didn't bake any that day. We requested our check instead. He proceeded to say that the Dolmadaki would be out shortly, at which point we informed him that we did not want them as they were to be our appetizer, not something we wanted to eat after dinner. When he finally brought the check, I needed to ask him to remove the used dinner plates so that I could deal with the check. While I was very tempted not to leave any, left a very meager 12% tip that day. Due to all of the above (and the fact that the only bathroom had an overflowing trash bin, no hand sanitizer in the dispenser, and could have used a good general cleaning) we cannot in good conscience recommend this restaurant. It was also interesting to note that when we left there were still no other patrons, but the restaurant next door was booming. Next time we'll try there.
