Great place to eat, though a bit pricey. Food is worth the price and the customer service was great. Will be back next time I visit.

Excellent staff and customer service! Our waiter was outstanding! Fun and lively atmosphere, bread and butter was incredible, salad with iceberg lettuce was just okay, black and blue filet was really great, prime rib really good too! Great place!

Came here for dinner on a Saturday night. Had the Rim Runner ribeye. It was good, but not great. Meat was somewhat stringy & tough. Considering that you pay $26 for it, it should have been better. Garlic mash potatoes are great. So is Lobster Bisque. Waiter was a nice friendly (somewhat shy) kid. Fresh bread was good. Salad was disappointing. Iceberg lettuce
I normally do not like to write a negative review. but I ate at Pixie and Bills three times this summer for dinner. On my fourth visit in July, I came with a colleague from the University at 1:30. We waited at the reception desk while a young hostess flirted with a young man. She was giving him a phone number and chatting. the hostess did not make eye contact with us. After she had "assisted" the young man for three minutes, she looked at us and said, "May I help you?" We were at a restauarant and standing in line at the hostess desk. I was puzzled by her question and tone. "We'd like a table for two, please." "Oh, we closed at 1:30." We said thanks and left. We did not feel welcomeat Pixie and Bills. Needless to say,restauarnt should not close so early for lunch? And, had the hostess not chatted, we might have gotten a table. I genuinely get the idea that Pixie and Bills is not big on welcoming to non-locals or occasional guests. The food is good here. Pimento cheese appetizer is excellent. And I highly recommend the chicken marsala. But managment is not visible, and the young people who work there seem to be involved in themselves and are not especially pleasant if they do no know you. Greenville is not all that far from Clemson. Next time I may look elsewhere for a meal.

Rating based only on service. While I would love to comment on the food, I wasn't given the chance to try it. After going in for lunch I was seated and sat there for around 10 minutes without a single person stopping by my table. There were plenty of empty seats so it wasn't as if it was overly packed. I can honestly say I have never left a restaurant before this experience, but there is no reason to not be more prompt with very small tasks.

Pixie and Bill's is a cute little date night spot not too far from Clemson's campus. I was in town and staying at the Hampton Inn nearby and the hotel staff suggested this place for dinner. It is one of the few "upscale" restaurants in Clemson, or at least that's what I was told. When I walked in I was immediately greeted and seated at the bar( I was alone). The bartender was nice although I would have preferred him to know a bit more about the wine list. I was slightly out of place in my very casual leggings and tennis shoes, and many guests at the restaurant were in dinner jackets or nicer clothes. I can tell its an old establishment type of place with probably very little students as patrons. I ordered some fancy named dish for scallops and pancetta, and I really enjoyed my dinner. It was seasoned well, but I did think the scallops were slightly overcooked. Either way, I would definitely head to this place again the next time I am in the area.

I went as part of a large group. Even with our group completely filling the side room on a Friday night the service was excellent as was the food. The waitress talked me into the Salmon with Southern Comfort BBQ sauce, and it was amazing!

Love this place - the menu is rather limited I think for lunch but their salads never dissapoint me! During busy lunch time service sometimes is annoyingly slow - i think it depends on who your server is that day: hit or miss! For dinner - I think it is the best place in Clemson. Save room for desert though...

My husband and I went here for my birthday dinner! I went to school at Clemson and had never been before, but always wanted to go. It did not disappoint! We had a great waitress, Megan. And I loved how our meal was timed out perfect, we never felt rushed as we went from our soup to salad to meal. We had the lobster bisque - be warned, when you order the bowl... you get a seriously huge bowl. This was the best part of our meal, the bisque was so rich and filling that I had trouble finishing everything else. Spinach salad, house dressing was good. And we split the seafare's platter. You can pay $8.00 for the split and they will go ahead and put it on another plate, plus that includes an extra salad and all the sides. The rice, zucchini, salmon, seafood cake, scallops, shrimp were all great (good thing we split!) it was SO much food. We didn't have any room for dessert but I am sure those would be wonderful as well. It was a little on the pricey side, but I'd say it was worth it for what we had and the experience there. I would go back for another special occasion.

This is a solid choice for steaks and chops in a somewhat tony environment. I had the 14-oz (gasp!) prime rib dinner, which came with a green salad and a baked potato. This is the kind of meal that I have once in a blue moon, and it didn't disappoint me! The wine list could not be described as inspired, but it was OK. I ordered the 2007 Montes Alpha Cabernet Sauvignon, which was priced @$39. It sells in wine stores for about half that price, or maybe a tad more. The Guigal Cotes du Rhone on the same list for $26 would have save us some money, but the Montes Alpha is arguably significantly better. You have to be in the right mood to want to go here, but I am confident that you'll have a good time and won't feel that you've been ripped off.

We rode boat over to Clemson and just walked in off the street looking for a place to eat. We were not appropriately dressed for such a nice place but the staff was very accommodating. Everyone's plate was exceptional. Great service! Loved it!
I am moving to this area and trying out several area restaurants. Pixie & Bill's is very good! While upper-scale for the area, plastic-coated tablecloth is not found in bigger cities. The food, though was very close to what I would expect in Chicago, Baltimore or Boston at double or triple the price. My wife had ribeye, I had seafood assortment, both great. I do wish the seafood cake had a flavored mayo or other sauce with it. My spinach salad was outstanding with homemade dressing. All in all, a superior experience. I do have a couple of suggestions to get all the stars. Lose the plastic tablecloths. Figure out a way to get a bit more parking, and most of all.... Don't use your knowledgeable and polite servers to then immediately turn around and bus tables full of soiled dishes. Many would not relish the idea that they would carry dirty dishes to the kitchen and return immediately with my soup without washing up. Hire some bus-boys.

Had me a good steak at Pixie and Bill's tonight, and even got to sit in the bar and watch the games on TV. Not bad. It's a nicer place than that, overall, with plenty of spots to have a nice family dinner or even throw a group in the back. The seafood cakes were yummy and the steak was just like it should be. Gotta say that they're worth the visit.

People do not come to Clemson for a culinary experience. It is a college town. Pixie and Bills is a tried and true long stading favorite of locals and returning visitors. As others state it has a somewhat limited menu. Steaks and Chops are best unless you are a prime rib lover. P&B serves a good prime rib however it is only well prepared and nicely served. If you are planning to eat out i Clemson it is a good choice. It is a very busy place so you are going to be seved by college students and with a kitchen working hard to keep up. Bisque is quite goood. Seafood of the day - your in Clemson SC and it is not Bass so don't expect alot. Salads are fresh and they have something to satisfy a sweet tooth. Cocktails are average bar drinks nothing special. A short drive over to Pendelton and you will find some small inns but you will not beat the convieance of Pixie and Bills. Yous should be stisfied and enjoy all the college parents taking their kids out for a good meal around you or the greatest sports fans in the country. Go Tigers

We just moved to SC, and we came out to celebrate our anniversary. The food was excellent, my husband had the porkchop and I had a steak. Then we had the créme brûlèe and the snickers pie. I wouldn't reccomend the house merlot, but everyone's taste is different. Our server was attentive without hovering. All in all it was a wonderful meal.
