The Variety Aiken's Best Kept Secret
by roberius at Citysearch
I've lived in Aiken for close to 30 years, and The Variety Restaurant has been here all that time. I just tried The Variety for the first time. What a great experience! The food was EXCELLENT, as well as the service. The portions are very generous. I had the fried shrimp and fried oysters.
My guess is that because this place looks so old and run down, it's not as well known as some restaurants in Aiken. But the food is beyond compare!
- Pros: great food, great service, inexpensive
- Cons: looks a bit run down
Great Seafood and Steak
by michael_woody at Citysearch
This is a great place to get seafood and steaks. The surf and turf combo is one of the best I have eaten. I would recommend trying this place for a great dinner.
The atmosphere is in need of a change, and the seating is not suited for large groups, but the fiid is great.
- Pros: Seafood, Steaks
- Cons: Atmosphere, Salads, Seating
