    I had 14 guests for lunch at Christmas time, at the Willcox. Bruce was our server and we all can’t say enough good comments about him. He is a keeper. In my 80 years he is the BEST SERVER I have ever had. Our group just laughed and loved him. Jade was super efficient in caring out my wishes for seating. I cant say enough good about Bruce or Jade. Thanks Wilcox staff for making the food delicious and the occasion so perfect. The last time I ate at the Willcox I was served a hamburger with a molded rolls. Thanks for such a nice experience with a change of Staff. Jean Frederick

    We are new empty nesters and we took the time to plan a night away. The staff was incredibly accommodating and very friendly. Every step was next level posh. We were going to stay in a well-known resort in Asheville, but the prices were outrageous. The Willcox was very reasonable for a ‘special treat’. The room turndown and options to make it extra special was a very nice touch- down to the homemade chocolate chip cookies. I’m picky about food, and over the last 8 years dining at The Willcox, I’ve never been disappointed. Everything is fresh and at a perfect temperature. We will be back- 5 ⭐️ for sure!

    The Willcox is a local gem and wonderful place to stay! The atmosphere is charming, historic and moody, creating a relaxing and unique experience for any age. The premium suite was very comfortable, with plenty of thoughtful details, and they offer great accommodations for dogs—welcome bag and all! The customer service and waitstaff is excellent—attentive and friendly. The food is incredible, but the highlight was the Butterscotch Budino. It’s the best dessert I’ve ever had. (You have to try it, no matter how full you are.) Whether you’re looking for a staycation or passing through Aiken, don’t pass on The Willcox.
