City Billiards - 20 Years of Food & Fun

Take the whole family to City Billiards to have one of the delicious chili dogs or a hamburger that is said to be the best in Aiken.
“Our hamburgers are made fresh daily and hand-patted with fresh ground beef,” said Michael Allen, the owner of City Billiards.
City Billiards was opened in 1957 by A.R. Edwards, who is the original recipe master for the chili served at the restaurant. Beginning as a “men only” pool hall, the billiards hall has now evolved into a family-oriented restaurant.
“This is the best business I ever owned because of the people I get to meet and deal with on a day-to-day basis,” Allen said. “I bought the restaurant because I love food and I love people.”
Allen took ownership of City Billiards in 1994, along with the original chili recipe. The restaurant serves not only great cheeseburgers but also great fish plates, crab legs, shrimp and other entrees.
City Billiards has lunch specials that vary throughout the week, in addition to a Thursday, Friday and Saturday night special of all-you-can-eat crab legs for $22.99.

For almost 20 years, Allen has served the Aiken community great food and fun. All the food is served fresh and made to order. According to Allen, nothing is served from a can.
“People who are older from the retirement home still come here to have a hamburger or chili dog,” Allen said. “They’ve been coming here for years.”
The family atmosphere at City Billiards is a great place for birthdays, church groups, graduation parties and wedding receptions.
“The cooks are great,” Allen said. “The cooks make everything in front of the guests, so they see what goes in their food.”
At City Billiards, the waitresses have been there for about 10 years and, according to Allen, everyone loves them.
Although City Billiards is no longer a “pool hall,” the restaurant still has pool tables for customers to enjoy. For a place to watch the present sports event, the restaurant is a perfect destination to relax, play pool and watch the game on the big screen TV.
Also, the restaurant offers some of the best pricing on pool cues and tables. City Billiards offers refelting old pool tables, delivering and setup. Call for pricing at (803) 649-7362, or go by 208 Richland Ave. W in Aiken, Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. The grill closes at 9 p.m.
“Once you experience this restaurant and the freshness of the best burgers you’ll ever eat, you’ll keep coming back,” Allen said.
