Yet another classic Anderson restaurant! Ive been eating at Besto my whole life. Cheeseburger special with tea only $6.99! I like to add an extra patty and bacon! Ice cream and large sweet tea! Im in heaven! They have much more as well!!! I visit Besto at least twice a month if not more! Great Anderson local place!

In the south, cole slaw is a condiment and Besto’s gets it. If you want one of the best minced BBQ sandwiches ever, ask them to put slaw on it.This goes for their hamburgers & cheeseburgers too. Anyone can make a lettuce, tomato, & mayo hamburger, but to truly get a southern treat, order a hamburger all the way (chili, mustard, & onions) add cole slaw.Breakfast is great too! Large biscuits any way you want them.Call ahead about 10 minutes ahead and your order will be waiting on you at the window, or come inside and eat. They have a wide variety of fast food items, including corn dogs. Always good, always friendly.

Been eating here a couple of mornings a week for 20 years,but thats changed.worst bisquit ever this morning.i know covid has been hectic on us all,but we need to stop blaming covid,and noone wants to work excuses and call it like it is,the foodbusiness needs to pay better,stop acting as if the people working for them are nothing.NO ONE CAN LIVE OFF 10 OR 11 DOLLARS AN HOUR.THE RICH GET RICHER BY RIDING THE BACKS OF THE POOR.SOMETHING HAS TO CHANGE.MY WORD OF ADVICE TO ALL IN THE FOOD INDUSTRY, IF YOU CANT STAFF YOURSELF CLOSE THE DOORS UNTILL YOU CAN,OR LOOSE YOUR CUSTOMER BASE THAT TOOK YEARS TO BUILD.

Had a taste for a banana split. Saw on their website they had one. Oh my gosh! Talk about horrible...it was beyond that. They put it all in a cup with overly sweet so-called toppings. Also not with the traditional ice cream of strawberry, chocolate and vanilla, but total soft serve. Needless to say it was a waste of $5!!

Nice quaint(ish) restaurant sitting on a street that is flooded with commerce and chain restaurants. The food is great, and the ice cream is amazing. Nice workers, and is a general go-to spot whenever I am helping with Meals On Wheels (I recommend that too) because I perform my route in the morning, and their sausage biscuits are AMAZING. Great place.

Review №23

Seems like they don’t like to make your food and drink fresh? But the black ladies and gentlemen make it a pleasant experience! Cause a couple times I asked for them to make my drink after I got there each time they did the opposite! Also once I asked for fresh fries and they looked at me like I wasn’t a paying customer.

This hidden gem serves up one of the very best breakfast in Anderson, SC.You absolutely have to try the homemade cinnamon roll before you go. But hurry they only make so many a day. So when they run outThats it.Back again...wow what a breakfast. Best grits in Anderson. Hands down. Pancakes too. Beats the pants off the old waffle places.

Review №80

I had a BBQ sandwich with coleslaw and mustard in it and a shake. The shake I chose was hard to turn into a shake because it was cookie dough so it didnt turn out quite right. Too much milk. Just needed another few tries. But I am sure they would be good otherwise. The BBQ was loaded and well worth the small price and so yummy!
