   Great good in a great space. Don’t be afraid to attend on busy Clemson weekends- they always find a way.

   During our first visit to South Carolina while touring Clemson University with our daughter, we had the pleasure of dining at Rick Irwin's—and what a remarkable discovery it was. The restaurant's atmosphere strikes a good balance - relaxing with subtle lighting and rich dark wood accents creating an elegant yet comfortable environment. My wife's filet was cooked to a perfect medium with exceptional flavor. Our daughter's pork chop—notoriously difficult to prepare properly—was as she’s said “super tasty”. My rack of lamb arrived at a perfect medium-rare with a glaze that was nothing short of extraordinary. Both the appetizers and desserts had the same high level of excellence. What truly made the evening was the attentive service. The entire staff made us feel welcome, with special recognition to Thaddeus, whose professional yet personable approach and comprehensive menu knowledge just made the night perfect. Whether you're visiting Clemson or are a local resident, Rick Irwin's is an absolute must. We'll certainly be returning on our next visit to the area.

   Inexperienced server. Tried hard but was a bit naive. Otherwise an exceptional experience.

   steaks, as always, were excellent. Service was good. Can’t complain about this place except one could always wish for lower prices😄

   Another great experience at Rick Erwin's Clemson. We had a trainee/new server and she was great! Even with new help, REC always takes care of you; Eric, the manager, stopped by often to check on things.

   We went for Valentines Day and had an enjoyable experience. The food was fantastic as usual. The only complaint was that the restaurant changed the menu and we liked the 3 course dinner option. This option was no longer available. Maybe they took off for Valentines Day?

    We went for Valentine’s dinner. We tried for days to get a reservation and finally there was a cancellation. All the waitstaff were very attentive but especially Mae. A lovely experience. The only negative was not enough light for me as I am visually impaired.
