Right off the bat, I'll say that the Variety Restaurant is not for everyone. The place has a bit of a 'dive' vibe but the food more than makes up for the atmosphere. It's a local place with a lot of history! The food is excellent with giant steaks, huge portions of freshly caught seafood, the biggest baked potatoes I've ever seen. The salads are fairly plain jane but the homemade Bleu Cheese dressing is arguably one of the best in town. The owner takes his own boat down to Charleston and catches some of the fist on specials himself and buys directly from other SC fishermen as well. If you are in Aiken and want to eat at a local restaurant without having to get dressed up and eat some high quality surf n' turf, this is the place to go.

I just rediscovered this restaurant a week ago after eating there 25 years ago while my husband and I were dating! I thought they closed! It is a dive and if you didn't know what was inside it might look a little sketchy but their food is delicious! It is definitely not an inexpensive restaurant, a steak and seafood dinner is $30 which is sort of odd when you look at the decor and how run down the building looks but it is delicious! Their baked potatoes are some of the softest I've ever had and their salad that comes with an entree was large, and it actually taste like they use real seafood and not the imitation stuff and that's probably where the high price comes from. The ribeye steaks were delicious. I'm so excited that we discovered this place is actually still open after enjoying it so many years ago and it will definitely be a nice place to splurge a couple times a year for us. We're in Augusta so its about a 50 min drive or we'd probably go more often! Call them to see what their special is each day.

This place was recommended by a coworker. He said its a plan old building, great food bit little pricey. Perfect description. I don't know why the prices are so high. The place is a hole on the wall, mix match chairs some even folding. Old cheap decor. The wait staff is great. And then you get your food! Huge portions. And great tasting! Try this place its wonderful, but bring you grown up wallet!

Just came home from my second time at this establishment, because my husband's friends like it. Last time I had fried shrimp and got very sick. Tonight I opted for the Shecrab soup and the appetizer of Calamari as my meal. My stomach is already grumbling - oh joy! Never had a very spicy, thin as milk Shecrab soup in my 11 years living at the SC coast. The breading of the calamari was crispy and well fried, but the inside was way too soft, not completely cooked and some were slimy. I ate it, because I didn't want our friends to feel bad, since they think this is the epitome of fine dining in Aiken. I would suggest that the owners take a trip to Pawleys Island and eat at Hanser House, in my humble opinion THE best seafood restaurant at the beach, Murrells Inlet (the seafood capital of SC) to eat at Lee's Inlet Kitchen or try the calamari at Salt Water Creek Cafe. They might actually learn something. You don't need to serve massive amounts of food to make your customers think you're good - Quality over Quantity!! BTW, our waitress was very nice! P. S. It's after midnight now. I've been terribly sick for the last 2 hours. Yuck!!!

Great food and huge portions; some things are on the expensive side, but they have specials Mon-Thu with reduced prices. (Fried shrimp, steak, etc.) The fried shrimp and fried oysters are the best I have had around this area, as well as the fried chicken livers. It is loud, crouded, lots of kid, and the ambiance is 50's, but the food is great. Wine, liquor and beer, but nothing special (I think the only import beers are Corona and Heineken, and I would pass on the wine unless you have a taste for white zin or generic chard... Mon-Wed 4:30p-10p, Thu-Sat 4:30p-10:30p
