Where to eat Bar food in Santee: The Best Restaurants and Bars
Find out what Bar restaurants to try in Santee. Santee is a town in Orangeburg County along the Santee River Valley in central South Carolina, United States. It has become a resort town of note located centrally north-south along the Atlantic Seaboard of South Carolina. The region has been rural, with a primarily agricultural economy typical of Orangeburg County, but is now known primarily for its several golf courses in proximity to Lake Marion, Santee State Park and other Lake Marion attractions. Interstate 95 connects its attractions easily with tourists traveling by automobile. I-95 crosses a narrow arm of the lake into the town lands, along a causeway. Lake Marion is a man-made hydroelectric reservoir, which at 110,000 acres (450 km2, 173 sq mi) is one of the fifty largest lakes in the country.

Not many places to go in the area, so most everyone comes here for a decent dinner and some entertainment. Food is pretty good but a few menu items need changed. Fried shrimp is one of them. The new fried shrimp breading is terrible. Steak is great, always perfectly cooked. I have an issue with the cover. Itâs WAY too high for the quality of entertainment they get. A terrible band that lip syncs is still $10 a head. Would love to see brunch offered here. Would also like to see comedy night, open mic night, karaoke and trivia night. Iâm kinda tired of beach music.

I've heard great things about this place, but couldn't stand the cigarette smoke long enough to try the food out. 1 beer and I was out of there!

Mid-priced lodgings with in-house restaurants are a dying breed. Ziggy's, located in the Quality Inn & Suites in Santee, is a survivor in a marketplace where free breakfast buffets have taken over full service restaurants.Perhaps the key to Ziggy's longevity is that it offers great food at reasonable cost with great servers. It may not have the delightful elegance or the name recognition of Clark's across the street, but it serves up food just as good at lower prices. My steak and fries dinner was excellent. Lisa, my server, was also exceptional, asking about our trip to Santee (to see the eclipse) and letting us know about the travel conditions leaving town.Ziggy's Bar and Grill isn't much to look at, but the food and service is great and the servers equally so. Whether or not you're staying at the attached Quality Inn, it's well worth a try for dinner (except Sundays), especially if Clark's menu prices seem a bit expensive.

While staying at Holiday Inn in Santee we were able to eat dinner in the attached restaurant. Kem's is open to the hotel lobby but is very private at the same time and is a separate business. We were taken to our table that was private which was very nice. Booths, tables and bar. Salad bar in the back. They have specials which I decided to try. I got salmon, salad, string beans, roll and baked potato. The salmon was perfectly cooked and baked potato fresh. My husband ordered a club wrap and onion rings. The onion rings were cooked well and crisp. We both had pepsi products. Meal and service very good and it was nice to not have to get back in the car after a long day of travel. Price of meal with lots of food $30. Great value. I would highly recommend this location to eat if you stay or do not stay at this hotel.
