“I stopped by Lesslie Food Shop and this place is a hidden gem. The food tastes fresh, and full of flavor. You can tell they care about what they serve, and the portions are good. The staff is friendly and welcoming, and the service is quick even when they’re busy. It has that small-town food shop feel where everyone knows each other, which makes the experience even better. If you’re looking for good cooking, or a quick lunch that actually fills you up, this is definitely one of the best spots in the Rock Hill area. I’ll keep coming back for sure.”
“Man this is one of the stay clean, customer friendly places in Rock Hill, Sc first class service hands down a must when visiting or look for a quick stop. What Up Doe!”
“It was a little complicated purchasing gas. The attendant was very kind. He came out of the booth, showed me how to Scan my Harris teeter card and what to do next.”
“Don't get to stop at this place as much as I used to in the mornings for breakfast. But on the days me and the crew are working around that area we always make sure we stop at Ly ly's. Best food in that surrounding area. Service/ customer service is great and the food is always very delicious. I most definitely recommend you going there. More than likely you'll be like me you go once and every time you're in that area you're always going back if not going out of your way to go over there lol.”
“The lowest gas prices and best selection in the convenience store. Not to mention very helpful customer service. Plus, a really impressive selection of beer too. Easily my favorite gas station!”
“On a work trip from California and stopped by to grab something to eat. Very friendly cooks recommended I try their philly cheese steak with their homemade seasoning and it was PHENOMENAL. This place was busy while I was there and I now know why.”
“Always remembers me no matter how long since I've been there, care enough to notice that I've lost a lot of weight and always friendly and have what I want.”
“I enjoy purchasing my morning coffee and Boston cream pie and or honey buns from here almost every morning to get my day off and running, the employees are always super friendly and wonderfully helpful thanks see yuns in the morn.”
“I love Pops and Sandy. They always have a smile and they have a great sense of humor. They treat you fairly and if you are having a bad day, you will leave smiling. The rest of the employees are fantastic too and they get to know you. They have what I need ready for me. Most of the time they are also the cheapest in town.”
“This is the cleanest convenience store I think I have ever visited. It was nice and pleasant to stop in today. Nice friendly service and environment. I appreciate shopping at businesses like this! This is how you run a business.”
“I have been going to CVS at Target for many years. They provide excellent customer service, are super personable and greet you by name. They always call me back within a very short period of time after leaving them a voicemail. Having phone calls returned is a rarity nowadays. They have always followed through with return calls and they are very thorough in providing an answer to your question. All the staff are wonderful and Layne, the pharmacist, is amazing. He has no qualms at all of covering the register when the lines get long or calling you back. You actually know the pharmacist! I couldn’t ask for a better pharmacy.”
“Great little shop in the middle of town. High prices on gas but beers cold and cheap. The married couple who run it are super sweet and really nice. The fact they go out of the way to not only treat me kindly, but they do it often for my 3 year old too. They’re always so sweet and interact with him as they would their own.”
“Huy and his entire family are incredible people! I feel like I am at home any time we're there! Trust me, we are there every day! Prompt and friendly service, personal and caring! If you need anything they don't have, ask them they'll gladly get it for you! Such a beautiful family owned place!”
“This is not the only place to order food in Rock Hill, but it's the BEST food to order if you're hungry, especially on Saluda St. I had their Spicy Chicken Sandwich, along with their Chili Cheese Fries and once I finished my meal I wanted to order the same thing again and again. Make sure you check this place out because I promise you won't regret it!”
“This is a family run store with friendly service and everything you could possibly need at a convenience store! Bruce, one of the owners is always super friendly and willing to help you find anything you need! 5 star store hidden amongst the hood of Rock Hill”
“I don’t always stumble into a market that instantly makes me feel cooler than I actually am, but SOHO Market has that vibe the second you walk through the door. This place somehow mixes modern style, local charm, and relaxed energy into one experience that just works. Whether you’re stopping in for coffee, browsing around, grabbing a bite, or just killing time while pretending you totally meant to “pop in for a minute,” it’s ridiculously easy to enjoy being here. The atmosphere is what really stands out. Everything feels intentional without being pretentious. It’s clean, inviting, and has that kind of energy where you can meet friends, hang out with family, or just sit there for a second pretending you’re in one of those aesthetic small-town commercials people share online. You can tell a lot of thought went into the experience, and that matters. The people are friendly, the setup is unique, and it feels like one of those places Greer can genuinely be proud to have. It’s the kind of local spot that makes a town feel alive instead of cookie-cutter. Honestly, places like this are why exploring local businesses is still undefeated. Stay classy, my friends.”
“I Love, Love, Love their draft cold brew coffee and they have the Big Q foam cups that are 44 oz!! They also have silk, reg almond milk, several kinds of International Delight Creamers, cold brew creamer(draft), sugar & ofc I ALWAYS PUT SUPER LOTS of WHIPPED CREAM ON THE TOP!!!! Yum, Yum ?”
“Gas price was next best to the Sam's Club one exit south that was closed when we passed it last night. I wanted coffee anyway. $2.50 for a coffee refill was a bit steep, especially considering the limitations on flavored creamers. Overall a nice place... typical chain location that was well maintained.”
“Convenient location, attentive and friendly cashier.My only suggestion is that some more fresh items like fruit or vegetables should be sold (in my opinion)Sort of felt like going back in time when I stepped inside, in a nostalgic way. Keep it up!”
“I go here 3 times a week but just want to say I can only get about 12 strikes out of a bic lighter before they are out of fuel I should go there tomorrow and just steal about 6 free lighters for this”
“I needed some fish bait, crickets specifically, they are 'not in season' yet, the nice lady said check back in the summer. I did find some barrel swivels at a great price, Walmart was OUT!”
“Stellar QT location right off I-77 on the Carowinds exit. Usually not as crowded as the other QT on the exit as it is away from most of the attractions. Great place to stop by and take a restroom break, grab a quick snack, and get some gas. Would recommend stopping here if you need to do any of the above.”
“Climere is one of THEE best in customer service at the CVS pharmacy! Due to an HRT shortage at CVS at Target in Rock Hill, I elected to have my prescription transferred to the Charlotte location since they had it in stock. I was just making small talk and telling her this and right away she said “ You must know Layne.” I said “ Oh yes, he and the other pharmacist, Court, and all the other staff are amazing.” She said she used to work there a long time ago. We were talking about HRT and having such a great conversation. She was so friendly, bubbly and professional. What a doll and breath of fresh air. Excellent customer service like this is far and few between nowadays. She is a total gem. I wish she was at the Rock Hill location.”
“Staff were friendly, everything was stocked and the lines moved fast! Could have had better line indicators, it seemed like everyone was confused where to stand.”
“I wakk to this 7/11 everyday and the staff treats me very nice. I go there at 9 PM everyday and walk for about 20 minutes to get there. Great place 5 stars 😀”
“QT (Quick Trip) is one of the very best of the best convenience, stores in the business. Great selection of snacks, prepared foods, cigarettes, Sandwiches made to order, and frozen items.Staff is very welcoming, and the bathrooms are clean and always well stocked. Their Soda machines are great!! Cherry Fanta was recently discontinued by my local stores which I lament. I don’t like the strawberry replacement at all.Store Managers here are excellent staff supervisors - great with both staff and customers.”
