First time there. I attempted to call for a to go order since we were on a limited for time. Ordering from the menu offered online were met with set backs since the items we wanted were not offered. The young lady disconnected our call checking the type of drink I asked about. The cashier in the to go area was very helpful, so I reordered since my first request was not processed. We were not impressed with our order. The fried chicken was flavorless the sides were just ok. read more

Five Stars- All Day Long! Wade's restaurant was completely packed out with a rather long waiting line. This is home style southern cooking at its finest! From start to finish everything was executed perfectly! Our waitress was terrific! She more than took care of our various needs more than once and always wore a genuine smile. I've had the pleasure of dining here probably several hundred times over the years and I've never had a single issue with the food, prices, or service. Senior citizens love this place as they can get their veggies deliciously cooked and at very reasonable prices. Even picky children eat their food here. It's that good! read more

Today we went out to lunch with friends who had read about Wade's, and it was every bit as good as we remember. I had the fried chicken, sweet potato casserole, and peas. The chicken was tender, juicy, and piping hot, and I could have eaten a giant bowl of the sweet potato casserole, It is so decadent! My husband had the meatloaf which he declared "delicious" and his sides were cabbage and collard greens. For dessert the four of us shared a slice of the peanut butter pie drizzled with chocolate, oh my so good! The place was packed when we got there before noon, but they were moving people in and out quickly, and there was a very short wait. Wade's can be highly recommended for outstanding southern food. read more

There once was a day when you couldn't call yourself "southern" without a weekly walk-through at the line at your local cafeteria style eatery. Endless choices of fresh cooked Southern Delights; most of it slathered in in rich country gravy. Collards, okra, carrots, mashed potatoes, sweets and save room for some macaroni and cheese. Not much of this, cat fish, meat loaf and fried chicken cuisine left these days. Call it a "tradition" -- or or just plain "Good Eatin'!" Dale P. read more

Cashed in my Plasma donation money for some of the best flounder since the movie Ariel. That sweet potato soufflé gave me the same sensation as mixing my back pills with red wine. Cornbread was great too read more

First time at Wade's after hearing many good things about the restaurant. - Clearly the locals know this place well, and the love is obvious; it's an institution here, woven into the fabric of everyday life. - There was a roughly ten minute wait to get in, on a Monday at about 1:15 pm. The atmosphere was vibrant, with a welcoming small-town vibe. - There was a decent selection for the 4-item plate of sides; I ended up with okra/tomatoes, mac-n-cheese, sweet potato soufflé and speckled butter beans. The soufflé was very good, with plenty of marshmallow. The mac-n-cheese was classic, just like the dish your favorite great aunt takes to church potluck. And the butter beans had a nice umami, I'd guess developed from a long, unhurried preparation with the right mix of spices thrown in. - The apple pie a la mode was a tasty finish. - Service was quick and efficient, but could have been more friendly. read more

Great country comfort food. Regular eating place for Spartanburg locals. Fast service

My wife her mother and I went to Wade's. This was my very first time going. There was a little wait but not too long. We ordered. The good came out in a timely fashion. It all was delicious. The ambiance was great for the size of the restaurant. Our server Mary P. was awesome. Very nice and professional. Service was great. The food was great. We will go back. It's really a hidden gem. Loved the entire experience. read more

We ordered plates to go. People actually think this food is good? Comfort food? Really? The other plates were tossed in the trash before we snapped photos of the other crappy food. The actual cooks need to expose this place for cutting corners on ingredients and adding fillers. A teaspoon of gravy on tasteless dressing and the broccoli casserole should be called "Broccoli Stalk Casserole" because there were no broccoli florets in it, just stalks. read more

Everything! The best mac n cheese by far!!! Actually most everything is better than Every other restaurant. I prefer real delicious regular food that I grew up with. Yes, their yeast rolls are fantastic! read more

I'm not from the south so maybe I'm missing something....but the quality of the food here wasn't as good as I'd hoped. I got take out...maybe I should go again and eat there to be sure. It was very crowded and lots of people seemed to be enjoying it. So it could be I'm not giving it enough credit. read more

Worth the drive and wait! Each dish was excellent in quality and taste. The fried chicken was crispy AND juicy inside. Buttered carrots, fried okra and stewed tomatoes all had a fresh taste. My mother said the turnip greens were the best she had tasted in years. The yeast rolls are to die for and the sweet tea is perfect! Our waitress was attentive and yet not hovering (perfect!)! read more

Excellent service and food like your Grandmother used to make (providing she was from S.C.)!

Delicious meat and three with great service and good pricing. Happy to know there's going to be a new location.

The food was so-so. The fried chicken, and turnip greens didn't have much taste, the Mac & cheese was dry and the dinner roll was very salty. I did like the sweet potato casserole, it was perfect! The service was ok, not rude but not overly friendly either. The rest of the employees that we ran across were very friendly and that's why I'll go back one more time. I'm sure running a restaurant is harder than I can imagine and I'll give them grace. The ambience was pretty good, down home kinda vibe and the prices are great! read more

Was hearing about this all week, all good things. I think this must be one of the most popular restaurants in the area. So much so that my cousin said we should go after 2:00 PM on Sunday, after the huge church crowds. About a 25 minute drive. When we arrived at about 2:15 and there were not that many cars, so we felt we made the right decision. Unfortunately for us, and many others, the dining room was closed. Our option was to order to go, or visit another restaurant. With all the expectations I voted for to go meals. We ordered, difficult because of list of delicious looking entrees and sides. We waited about 15 minutes and our orders came out, neatly packaged in styrofoam and a heavy plastic bag. The most difficult part was the wonderful aromas on the 25 minute ride back home, while very hungry. Can you hear the growling stomachs? I opted for the turkey dressing and gravy, with collard greens and fried okra. Also two cornbread muffins, which were saved, the stuffing was enough. Turkey was fork tender and delightful, stuffing was moist and wonderful, gravy excellent. Collards were superb, just a little hot pepper vinegar elevated them. Fried okra was also excellent, I'm sure even better hot. And I finished it with a piece of sumptuous pecan pie. My cousin had ham steak with creamed corn and sweet potato casserole. His wife had hamburger steak with broccoli cheese casserole and mac & cheese. Empty containers were a good sign of how they enjoyed the meal. Later we heard that there was an incident of backed up toilet that was the cause of dining room closure. I would definitely go back when I am in the area again. Yes! read more
