J C’s Sandwich Shoppe

Usually I love JC’s…really I do. I no longer live in Anderson but always make a point to go there when I come back. Today, however, may have ruined it for me. 30 minutes after we ordered and still hadn’t received our food one of the employees came out to tell us they didn’t have the stuff to make our salads. So we chose the bird dog (where you can never go wrong, I just wanted to attempt to be healthy today).
The food was delicious, like always, but we did have to wait over half an hour to get it. However, the WORST part was that when I went to get my drink there was MOLD hanging from the spouts on the soda machine. I quickly told the lady delivering food to the tables and she told her boss who came in and said, «Oh, we don’t even know how to get those off to clean them». Gross. I worked in food service for 7 years and we were always required to take those off at the end of the night so they could soak until morning.
Now hopefully this was an honest mistake and they aren’t just slack about it. Hopefully they will start cleaning it from here on out. Just, when I see stuff like that I wonder what else isn’t being cleaned like it’s supposed to be. They make a bird dog that is unrivaled, next time I go I may just call ahead so I don’t have to wait and take it to go so I can get my drink elsewhere.

The food is good. Chicken salad is excellent BUT the staff is RUDE. Calling in an order is not for the faint of heart. They make you feel as if they are doing you some kind of favor.

This place is another Anderson favorite. I just love locally owned businesses and think that they should be supported over the restaurant chains. These people know what they’re doing! They are famous for their bird dogs, but everything else on the menu is just a note worthy. My favorites are their fried green tomatoes and potato soup. Service is fast and friendly and I’ve never had a disappointing experience.

Best bird dogs around!!! And their five cheese grilled cheese is amazing! Definitely a local place that everyone goes to. College students, school teachers, doctors, everyone eats at JCs. You’ll see why when you and your family go to eat here :)

This is a wonderful gem in the big city of Anderson, South Carolina. (Slight sarcasm on the big part!) This is a locally owned sandwich shop that is very well known to all of the Andersonians. If that is indeed a term. Their signature item is a bird dog. They take two chicken tenders and put them in a hot dog bun with bacon and cheese and top it all with a delicious honey mustard. Couple that with their wonderful fries and you have a heart attack meal. But oh so delicious. They also have done a chipolte bird dog with provolone cheese and a chipolte sauce. MMMMMMM.
They also have delicious soups (especially the loaded potato) and a real hometown feel. You walk into their kitchen to order and feel like you are right at home. The dining room is nothing great and some what resembles a cafeteria. But the food more than makes up for this and it is always a must go when I am at home.

Great local sandwich shop with a legendary «bird dog”– a tender breaded chicken finger layered in a bun with honey mustard, bacon, and melted cheese. Truly awesome. Sandwiches across the board are very good and I like their fries as well – super crispy. JCs also serves soups and salads
Definitely recommend! Great local shop.
Plenty of seating for busy mealtimes but the place does full up for lunch and supper. There’s additional parking in rear.
Bustling take-​out business. Pick up those orders at the side entrance.
