Dear Eliza. Thank you:) - Edit
You must go! Amazing comfort food. We shared some drumsticks. I had the fish sandwich and a side of mac n cheese. My husband had the spicy Chikn sandwich, which was bigger than his head! We also had some blueberry cheesecake. Everything was outstanding. My husband says he can’t stop thinking about that chik’n sandwich lol! I only wish we lived closer so we can try everything. Oh and the staff….they are the sweetest!

Surprise Find - Edit
Traveling north for a backpacking trip, my Dad and I were staying at a nearby hotel and luckily happened to see a billboard advertising Elizas. I was thrilled.
Read moreEven better, the food and staff were incredible! We tried the spicy chicken sandwich, sample platter and fried okra. All of it was great comfort style food. The chicken sandwich was gigantic!! I swear it was on half of a loaf of fresh Italian bread.
We left very happy, full and with change in our pockets. My Dad tried to leave a tip and they would not accept it. The staff was exceptionally friendly and kind. Would stop back here any time we pass through.
Pros: Friendly Staff, Great comfort food/portions, Affordable
Cons: None

I dream about the wings from Eliza’s - Edit
I will apologize in advance for the lame photo. After driving a few minutes with the delicious smell of Eliza’s takeout tempting me, I dug in before I could take photos. The burgers are excellent, as is the samplers platter but the wings are hands-down the best I’ve ever had. They are excellent when fresh from pick-up and just as good as leftovers. Order a lot to have leftovers the next day! Great staff as well!

A MUST TRY for the Vegan Foodie - Edit
We saw the billboard driving down 95 a few months back, but it was late and they were closed. We knew our next trip through we would try it. Eliza's didn't disappoint. Ot will now be our regular stop when driving 95.
Read moreThe Philly Cheesteak is amazing! The Mac and Cheese made my wife feel like she was eating crock pot mac from her grandmother. The good is great, but don't forget about the juices. You have to try a homemade juice.
This is not a healthy destination. I'm sure you could find a few healthy options on the menu. It is a soul food diner and it's connected to a gas station in a kinda sketchy part of town. All that kind of adds to the experience and made it a must stop when we are traveling through SC.
Pros: Tons of options, Nice people, Great food and juices

Pull over right now!!! It’s worth it!!! - Edit
Couldn’t believe there was an all vegan place right off the highway like this — never mind the fact that it’s out-of-this-world amazing and could literally rival the vegan food in NYC!!
Read moreWe got the rib sandwich, the cheesesteak, and a slice of cheesecake. 10/10 on each!! The ribs especially were unbelievable.

June 2024 Update: just a heads up if it’s near closing time -
Read moreI was in town again and looking forward to trying more. They are open until 8 and I got there at 7:35, I was going to see if I could get something to go but they locked the door on us as we were walking up. There may have been a valid reason for rushing to close but an “I’m sorry we are closing” instead of locking it as you see us going to the door came off a little rude. Another traveling family said they went in at 7:20 and they let them order but told them they need to take it to go so they were eating in the car
——————
Feb 2024: Like another reviewer, I stopped to sleep at the Cracker Barrel in my van and was surprised an all vegan place was next door.
I was really looking forward to the rib sandwich but they were out, unfortunately, so I got the Danny cheesesteak which was really good. I’m pretty certain they use Beyond steak which I like
The Mac and cheese was just okay for me, heavy on the salt, I wouldn’t order it again but I’d definitely return if I’m passing through the area again. Plenty of other things on the menu I’d like to try
Updated from previous review on 2024-02-19
Pros: All vegan and friendly, Good selection and big portions, Easy in and out in an oversized vehicle
Cons: Sad they were out of the rib sandwich , Mac and cheese isn’t my favorite

Great people, friendly, just the way I like to be serviced. I’ve been searching for burger place that does not take like Behond or Impossible meats, hello Eliza’s. The burnt grill taste is perfection.

All vegan - Edit
Fairly large menu to choose from with lots of variety. My Philly cheesesteak was delicious, bread was soft. My wife had the cheesy mushroom melt, it was huge! Very good, great earthy taste to the mushrooms and kale. The bread seems fresh baked and the cheese sauce was delicious. My daughter had the drumsticks, I have to say, the BBQ drumstick was out of this world good. Just lightly sweet sauce. The sample platter has plenty to taste. All very good. Great service too.

Flavor explosion! - Edit
We have had her food when she was on the food truck. It was phenomenal then, AND we just visited her new restaurant location. . .EVEN BETTER! I didn't think it was possible!
Read moreMy husband and I split Danny's cheesesteak, the rib sandwich, and a lasagna. . .don't judge. . .we skipped lunch! LOL! The cheesesteak tasted just like what I remember from my meat-eating days. That is one thing I've missed since going vegan. We've tried other places, but this one is the real deal. The "rib" pieces were crispy, yet moist and well coated in a sweet and slightly smokey sauce. The lasagna was flavorful, cheesy, and had the crispy noodle edge I love.
I wish I had gotten their names, but the lady that took our order checked on us to be sure we enjoyed our meal. The sharp young man cooking had a very welcoming personality and as stated above made some AMAZING food for us!

Vegan fast food - Edit
5 star for fast food vegan, 2 star for Whole Foods Plant Base Healthy. Huge portions and a lot of choices. Although most everything was fried and salty. The young man at the counter was great. He was friendly, polite, helpful, and the food was served fast. I like the concept, but it wasn't for me. I would recommend it if you are looking for fast food.

Such a confusing review. I remember you. I recommended the lasagna, the chicken pesto pasta, and the beef stir fry. None are "fast food" items. I have over 30 items on my menu. However, YOU chose other than what was recommended. In any event, I appreciate you stopping in.

AMAZING food, poor location, bad service. - Edit
The food was absolutely amazing. Portions were large and you definitely get your money's worth with an expansive menu and plenty of gluten free options as well. Good juices too. It was kind of hard to find, though I didn't particularly mind that. The service was poor and the cashier was incredibly rude - almost soured the whole experience. Tried to give her the benefit of the doubt though, everyone has bad days. Would come back again even if the service did hurt the mood as the food more than makes up for it.

I hate that you had a "rude" service experience. Would have been great to receive an email, phone call, or request to speak to me in person, rather than write a review. I could've resolved the issue!

Best Vegan Cheesesteak! - Edit
While traveling the country, we stayed one night in Florence in our RV at the Cracker Barrel. What a delight to land right beside Eliza’s vegan cafe! We walked over to have dinner and I decided to indulge in the cheesesteak with a side of sweet potato fries. I hadn’t had one since I had gone vegan, and WOW, it was better than the animal versions I’d had growing up. Everything was deliciously seasoned, and came out hot and fresh. The service was great too; so friendly and welcoming. We felt like family. It’s not often I choose to eat non-WFPB, but if my husband and I pass through the area again, we will for sure be back here! #Veganuary
Read morePros: Great place to take non-vegans, Loved the wall art & decor, Fast service

Must Pit Stop to Eat - Edit
Oh my goodness! I was traveling down south and I was VERY surprised to discover a HUGE billboard along I-95 showing a vegan restaurant! In this case, it was Eliza’s Kitchen. I instantly got of the interstate, got gas and then went inside to be greeted by some outstanding ladies! ☺️ I ended up ordering the Danny’s Cheesesteak, fries and a freshly made blueberry juice. I was VERY pleased that they didn’t serve any Impossible or Beyond Meat. In my opinion, any vegan restaurant that serves those meats is basically a cop out. Overall, I’m very pleased and will definitely stop by again on my travel back home.

Great find - Edit
We saw their ad on a billboard on 95 while on our way up north right at the perfect time. So many choices and all looked so good. The food was delicious and the service was extraordinary! We will definitely try to plan this in to our trips in the future.

I ordered the popcorn chicken salad and the serving size was enough to feed two! It was wonderfully fresh. I also had the Mac & cheese which was the best I’ve ever had and a side of slaw. The service is fast and friendly. Will definitely stop by on my next visit through the area.
