Restaurants near Santee National Wildlife Refuge

Overall great experience. I would recommend it to anyone. The key lime pie is to die for

Wonderful experience. Thank you to Brooke, our server for taking extra special care of us.

Visit this location! It is not often that I leave a restaurant with an overall feeling of "that was worth every dime!" Well, Mother's Day 2025, I did! Dasia was our waitress, and she left my family feeling catered to and me, as a Mom, appreciated. Dasia demonstrated service in the most outstanding way! She smiled, was polite, and showed patience with a party of five on a busy Sunday afternoon. It is rare to go to any restaurant on Mother's Day expecting anything less than a short-tempered wait staff and subpar food. We had the polar opposite experience traveling back from our weekend getaway. The manager even came out to check on tables in our seating area, even with a packed-out facility. If we are ever near Sumter, SC in the future, we will dine at Red Lobster again because of the management and waitresses like Dasia. P.S. I received a single-stem rose from Dasia during my meal. Impressive customer service, to say the least. She came to work prepared to offer her customers more than what money could pay for - personality and a positive attitude! She was the perfect example to my 12-year-old daughter, who will be working in the near future. "If you are good to people, the goodness will be returned to you!"

We have always enjoyed dining at Tupelo Honey in other cities. It is wonderful to have this restaurant in Columbia. We enjoyed our food and appreciated our wait staff.

Rick was an absolutely amazing server we watched him basically sprint around the restaurant to take care of multiple tables he did a fantastic job and met every need we had
