Definitely worth the trip. And because it's less than 5 miles, I imagine we'll be here more often for the next football season.

PROS:
Parking lot is large, so parking was a breeze.
Security guard held the door open when we walked up.
Hostess greatest us when we walked through the door.
First day of football playoffs - on a Saturday no less - We walked right into the self-seated bar area, had our pick of tables, sat down and got our drinks within the first 10 minutes of being here.
We ordered and food came within another 15 minutes.

CONS:
ALL of the lemonades (even the flavored ones) are watered down. I went through 3 before I asked for a Sprite.
The side order of fries is über small.

We used to come to this location all the time. But stopped early 2011 when they had a notice up about the meat, and they started nickel and diming for every little thing.

When we came today, we were hoping that things had gotten better. And it had, but only by a little.

PROS:
Clean Interior.
Outside seating with umbrellas.
CONS:
The chip bag contains half of a scoop of chips...unless its almost closing time and then they want to give them away...
They charge extra for extra rice, even if you don't get much of anything else...
The lines tend to wrap around the entire sitting area, and service can be really slow.

    This Chipotle is busy at lunchtime during the week, and busy during dinner time on Saturdays. The line is usually short any other time. It's a little more disorganized than the other Chipotles but it might be because the employees at the counter are pretty young. And a lot of times, you can tell the lady behind the counter REALLY doesnt want to be there. I give it a 3 because it's Chipotle, and when they DO seem like they want to be there, the Service is good.

I give it 4 stars.
The burgers are always great for us.
However, the cashier isn't the friendliest and the service is REALLY slow.
But... The burgers and fries make up for it.
They do, however, need to take onion rings off of their menu because they never have any - EVER.

But again, awesome burgers!

I should have read the reviews.
I thought that i had lucked up being that it was lunch time and i was the only one there. But... Not so much. Not only did the ladies here talk (not english) for a good 10 minutes before starting my manicure, but it took them forever to finish it. I had requested French tip using gel nail polish because it lasts longer. But the lady didn't apply it the way my normal nail salon does. They only apply gel nail polish to the tip of the nail, and use regular nail polish on the bottom. My normal nail salon uses natural color gel nail polish on the bottom, and they ask me which of the natural colors I'd like.

Further, throughout the process, the lady was so busy talking that she kept messing up and having to start nails over. This made an already long process...longer.

I paid and left. I couldn't get out of their fast enough.

By the time I got home, the clear nail polish that she had applied over the gel started discoloring the white gel, making it look dingy. And you could see a bubble line where the gel stopped at the tip of each nail, and where the regular nail polish started.

It's now 5 days later, and the white gel polish is flaking off of my nail tips, and the clear coat is almost gone.

This was the worst nail experience Ive ever had.

I DO NOT recommend this place at all.

Really friendly. Easy dropoffs in the back. There were several young guys there to help unload my truck and they were really nice.

Coming from California, I'm used to Carl's JR. I thought that they had the same menu, but quickly learned that they didn't. I was a little disappointed as I was craving a Western Bacon Cheeseburger Combo. But when we got to the drive-thru menu, I realized that they didn't have them. My heart sunk.

The reason I gave this location five stars is because they went above in beyond and actually created my burger from scratch. (Where they do THAT at?! *high five*) And guess what. They did it correctly too... from the drive-thru.
Now THAT is customer service. Thank you, Hardees. From the bottom of my stomach.

Pizza Joint

We had eaten at the other Pizza Joint in Augusta last time we flew out this way, so we knew that we liked it.
So when we thought of pizza, we immediately thought of this place. Luckily, we found a location in Aiken. We Placed an order for pickup. When we got there early, we were instructed to go to the bar and let the lady working the bar know that we were picking up.

The bar area was pretty busy for a Thursday afternoon, and there was only one lady working it. We had to wait a few minutes before she got to us because of this. But, when she did get to us, our pizzas were boxed already and ready. We paid quickly and got out.

And just like last time, the pizza was great. I'm glad that we got a large! I wish that the slices were cut a little smaller, but maybe that's just my "In Hollywood, portions are smaller" mentality.

Can't wait to eat this pizza again. Don't think we'll explore other spots. What's the point? The Pizza Joint is great!

I budged on my "no fast food" regime to hit up McDee's for their Maple Oatmeal.
I was more hungry than I was in a hurry, so I pulled up and ordered with the quickness.

The drive-thru was quick and speedy, even when I changed my order.

And damnit, if this oatmeal isn't pretty fricken good! 5 Stars for the golden arches!

When I walked in, the guy behind the counter didn't acknowledge me until I was about to sit down after sign in. He was kinda talking to himself trying to figure something out on the computer, so I'm guessing he was just really occupied.
