The Willcox is absolutely the best restaurant in Aiken and probably the surrounding area! My family chose to dine here for Thanksgiving 2025 and now tonight for my 40th Birthday. Everything was literally perfect from the atmosphere to the delicious food. What made the night so memorable was our server Bruce. He was beyond professional, attentive, friendly and accommodating. I highly recommend the Willcox and look forward to my next time dining there.

Stayed here for our Anniversary on a Wed. night. Rooms was spacious and spotless. Bed very comfortable. Turn down service included chilled citrus water.|Happy hour busy with reasonable prices. Had dinner. Runs about $100.+ pp with a glass of wine, incl. tax and tip and is well done. Next AM is a sit down complimentary breakfast.|Highly recommend.

I wanted so badly for this to be a good experience, but unfortunately it was one of the most disappointing dining experiences I’ve had in a long time. Lack of accountability seems to be the specialty of The Willcox. After reading Sir Matthew’s response to my review, distasteful. From the beginning, service felt off. A manager came to our table asking odd, uncomfortable questions instead of addressing the lack of service and food availability. The “special of the night” I was served was not what had been described, and when concerns were raised, the situation was dismissed, and the food still arrived. The entrée—duck over butter beans with kielbasa topped with bbq sauce —was truly revolting, this was NOT what was supposed to come or what was described when ordering. This was a porridge/ g

If you’re coming to Aiken I can’t imagine staying anywhere else! My parents live here but our digs don’t get along so I stay here when I visit and I couldn’t ask for a more amazing stay or dining experience! The beds are so comfortable, they are so accommodating to your pup, there is always and cookies in your room, an amazing breakfast at the restaurant, and an even better experience to have the best of Aiken nightlife and dining right in the lobby of your hotel every night. From the doggy goody bag, to the walkable location to downtown, to the live music at night.. there’s really no other option in town.

My wife & I came to Aiken for a wedding, the weekend after ours. We ended up staying here, and enjoyed it so much we’ve been coming back every year for our anniversary. Great atmosphere ,food, and amenities. We have recommend this hotel to all of our friends and family. Even if you’re not planning a trip to Aiken, staying at The Wilcox is worth it in itself.
