In 1833, the rst passenger train in the
country journeyed full steam ahead from
the port city of Charleston through the
cotton elds of the rural south and arrived
in Aiken. The railroad depot became the
center of bustling activity and it holds that
same spirit for visitors today.
The City of Aiken Visitors Center and Train Museum is a
must-see upon your arrival in this historic city. Here you
can gather insight on the adventures that await you, from
the rambling gardens to upcoming events and where to nd
the best sandwich this side of the Savannah River.
The museum on-site boasts meticulously accurate dioramas
that guide you down the tracks of the SC Canal and Railroad
Company, stopping at the various depots in the state as
they appeared in 1916. Along with interactive displays, the
museum gives you a rst glimpse of how Aiken and the
surrounding communities were built through the steam of
the railroad.
Downstairs at the Museum you will nd volunteers and sta
eager to assist you with planning your Aiken adventure!
Brochures are available for pick up as well. The hours of
operation at the Visitors Center are normally Tuesday
Friday from 10 a.m. 5 p.m. and Saturdays from 9 a.m. 2
p.m. However, during Tournament Week the hours are
extended to Monday-Saturday 10 a.m. 5 p.m.

Betsys on the Corner
The link between

Southern hospitality
and food is undeniable
Tradition requires local cooks to provide

casseroles, fried chicken and macaroni and
cheese at any celebration or family gathering. Homebaked bread, warm chocolate
chip cookies and gooey fudge brownies
often find themselves pressed into the willing hands of neighbors and friends.
Fresh-picked veggies and locally made
jams and jellies are passed around, and secret recipes are shared all over the county.
That welcoming and gracious spirit extends to our local eateries, as many natives
and transplants use their culinary talents to
provide the populace with a wide variety
of cuisines to tempt the palate. Aiken
County is home to a wonderful selection of
locally owned delis, cafes and diners.
Downtown Aiken is a veritable smorgasbord of local dining options. The first stop
on your dining destination hunt in Aiken
might be right around the corner, at Betsys
on the Corner. Betsys is renowned for
a variety of tasty vittles from homemade
chicken and dumplins to hand scooped
banana splits. In addition, downtown of-
26
fers everything from awesome burgers and

the legendary hot dogs at City Billiards,
which now is offering wonderful specials
on seafood as well. Casa Bella Italian is located in one of Aikens refurbished homes
and offers ambience for a night out on the
town. New to downtown is the Speakeasy
Eats, where you need a password to enter.
The password is easy to locate when you
arrive to enjoy great food and music.
Lindas Bistro is another highly recommended downtown stop on York Street
between Park and Richland. Lindas menu
offers a wide variety from pastas to steaks.
Owner Linda Rooney takes special care of
each guest.
If you want history and an amazing meal
downtown, then The Restaurant at the
Willcox would be an ideal choice. The restaurant specializes in ambience and artfully
prepared cuisine that includes line-caught
fish, organic poultry, naturally farmed
pork and Certified Angus Beef brought to
you by generations of family farmers and

ranchers. All of this inside of The Willcox

Inn which has a far-reaching reputation of
a Southern inn that was built on its atmosphere, impeccable service and excellent
cuisine. Famous guests included Winston
Churchill, Harold Vanderbilt, W.R. Grace,
Elizabeth Arden and Count Bernadotte of
Sweden. Legend has it that Franklin Delano
Roosevelt rode his private train car to the
back door and slipped in quietly.
Other wonderful dining options can be
found strolling down The Alley one of
Aikens famous destinations for food and
fun in the heart of the downtown business
district. From craft burgers to lamb chops,
Up Your Alley Chophouse will satisfy any
craving for protein that you may have!
Downtown is not the only place for great
restaurants in Aiken. If you are looking for
a good start for your day, start at Autens
Family Restaurant for a great homestyle
Southern breakfast. Known for their platesized pancakes, you wont leave Autens
with an empty stomach. Pats Sub Shop
and Wing Place can be found right off Pine
Log Road and from the chicken salad at
Pats to the fried pickles at Wing Place plus

every kind of wing imaginable, you wont

leave either place disappointed.
Ease on down Whiskey Road for a night
full of sports at Grumpys Sports Pub. Their
big screen televisions and 36 beers on tap
will make you cheerful to hang out with the
Grumpys crew.
Seafood can be found at a variety of local
restaurants including many of those weve
named already but if you need even more
suggestions you can choose to do it yourself
and visit JCs Seafood where John Hyder
will sell it to you ready to cook or make you
look like an oyster roast all-star and bring
the party to you. Harrys Local Bar also has
great low country seafood and fun karaoke
on Friday nights.

Food...from page 32
An Aiken original is The Variety, on

York Street and they are known for filling
your plate with goodness from salads,
steaks, seafood, gargantuan baked potatoes
and house cut French fries. Hence the
name, The Variety is known for its variety.
If all-natural health fare is more your
style, Noble Breads stone mills their own
grain, offers locally farmed eggs, raw milk
and grass-fed South Carolina beef.
Aiken is richly blessed with many
authentic Italian restaurants that each offer
their own special taste of Italy. For over
31 years, Acropolis Pizza has been feeding
generations of Aiken County residents the
finest in Greek and Italian food. Whether
it is for lunch or dinner you wont forget
dining with George and Maria. From the
classics to Georges Lemon Chicken Soup,
you will feel the love that goes into this
local gem.
Brand new to Aiken, but well known
by the residents of Wagener is The Little
Bake Shoppe. From breakfast pastries
to homemade sandwiches and breads,
you will leave feeling that you have been
transported to the Pennsylvania Dutch
country.
The wonderful eateries of Aiken County
are not limited to Aiken. Graniteville is
known for the down-home flavors of the
Red Shed Diner. Get fed at the shed is
their mantra and you will love the farm to
table mission of this yummy must stop in
Graniteville.
Juniper Restaurant, nestled in the tiny
town of Ridge Spring just across the
county line, features exquisite fare from
the kitchen of Chef Brandon Velie, who
uses much locally grown produce for his
menus. Your stomach will be delighted
that you took the short drive.
Our local menus are as rich and diverse
as the people who created them. Take
some time to explore a local sandwich
shop or cafe. Spend an evening lingering
over a four-course meal. Stop in and pick
up a freshly baked croissant or bagel. Grab
a burger and fries and dive in to a sinfully
delicious banana split.
