    If you want some great local seafood and steak then the Variety is most definitely the place you need to eat!!! It is my absolute favorite! The seafood is always fresh and is amazing! You can not possibly get a better tasting steak from anywhere else! It is so juicy and good! The staff is always helpful and friendly! The drinks are awesome! The owner is always there also.. Great food and atmosphere!

    This is definitely one of the "hole in a wall" restaurant you do not want to miss out on. Prices are a little steep but the crablegs were spot on and my husband loved his steak & shrimp. Very pleasantly surprised!!

    Great sweet tea, home battered fried mushrooms absolutely delicious and more than plenty on quantity. As a matter of fact everything we ate was plentiful and delicious. All fresh made to order. Definitely a mom and pop cafe. Absolutely delicious

    Doesn't look very fancy from the outside but what a fabulous meal we had. I had the deviled crab dinner with baked potato and salad. Everything was cooked perfectly. Salad was very fresh and crisp. Husband had sea bass which was also excellent. The servers was friendly and attentive. Met the owner who had been there over 40 years. Super nice people. Can't wait to visit again soon!

    My parents grew up in Aiken and recently took me here when we were in town visiting. I thought the seafood was fresh and very fairly priced. I got catfish, oysters, shrimp, scallops and deviled crab for $25. Unsure of the bad reviews about pricing on side items, but the restaurant is older; what else do you expect from a place that’s been there since 1931? Staff was awesome and very friendly. Highly recommended.

    Nice local hometown restaurant with a good selection of seafood dishes. The service was attentive and the food was fresh and hot. I had the fried shrimp and my husband had the fisherman's platter, and both were nice portions with good flavor.

    Service was very kind and attentive. The server had deliciously smart sauce and cooking combinations. Good hush puppies. Garlic butter scallops were cooked perfectly. Really enjoyed the breading of their fried foods - not too thick/heavy and not drowning in oil. Family owned and operated. Prices were a tad high, but left full and happy!
