41 Best Burger Restaurants in Columbia

“I recently visited Mack's Cash Grocery in Columbia, SC, and ordered a bacon cheeseburger with fries and a drink. The meal was incredibly affordable, and I was impressed by how quickly my order was ready—there wasn't a long wait at all. The burger was flavorful, with perfectly crispy bacon, and the fries were hot and fresh. For the price, the quality of the meal exceeded my expectations, making it a great spot for a quick, satisfying bite without breaking the bank.“

“I hadn’t been to Steve’s since they moved from their old location and we were in the area today. My husband had never been and we were happy to have such a clean and welcoming place to bring our daughter. The prices are good, the patty melts were great, and the tea was good. I don’t know what else I could ask for! We’re happy to support local businesses and Steve’s is definitely a place we will visit again soon.“

“Stopped by for dinner tonight. I ordered the 4 piece Chicken Breast dinner which came with fries, and cole slaw. The chicken was phenomenal, and I was impressed with the cole slaw, which tasted amazing! The service and atmosphere was great.“

“We always enjoy a great burger here, and they even have gluten free buns! Customer service is fantastic! The wait staff is polite, informative, and give just the right amount of service... and not hovering. Each time we have eaten here, the manager checks in with us to make sure everything is as it should be. Perhaps it was the last time we ate here, I happened to forget an unusual drinking cup. I was totally surprised when today the waitress saw I had a similar one with me and inquired if I might have left one behind. They kept it safe for a few weeks and returned it to me! #10+ for that service!“

“I haven’t frequent IHOP in a long time. I have certain dietary restrictions and can’t eat certain foods anymore. One thing I can say is they will accommodate you any way possible, because they understand people have certain foods they can’t eat or have food allergies. I highly recommend IHOP and I’ll be visiting again soon. Mahalo for the delicious food IHOP! 🤙🏽Shaka bruh!“

“IHOP appears to have a NEW, or it's been that long. Better Variety and Food Selection. Steak omelet was DELISH and the Steak and potatoes were Great

Wheelchair accessibility: Accessibility and spacious interior“

“We stopped in to grab something to take back to the house our son just bought. We were surprised great service at the counter. Brisket was on point good bbq sauce. The baked beans were a little sweet for me but tasty. Mac n cheese great. Chicken was good. Next time we come back down it will be a do again.“

“Loved this Mom and Pop style food stop. Reminds me of the old corner kitchens from when I was younger.

I got the cheeseburger basket all the way, which came with fries and also got a small side of onion rings. The fries were seasoned perfectly and that burger was MASSIVE! I snacked on the onion rings during my drive so I didn't get a chance to get a picture of them but they were great, too!

If you are looking for that original, small-town, corner kitchen feel, this is the place to go. You will not be disappointed. I will definitely be back anytime I am in this part of town.

Parking: Parking is slim and you may have to park on one of the side streets but the the food is worth it.“

“As soon as I entered the building I felt like this was going to be a good home cook meal.. I got signature wings with the red velvet waffle and I tried the chicken dip and sausage dip! BAAAAABBYYY THAT FOOD WAS AWESOME!! THE SERVICE IS GREAT!! Going back tomorrow for drinks!! She got all the top shelf drinks.. ????“

“This is Review is for Date: 09/27/24 Time: 5:20 PM. I’m sorry I’m late. I Just found my receipt. But I would like to give a warm Thank you to my waitress by the name of ASHTON V. She made sure she checked on us every minute that she can get. She made sure our food was to our liking. The food was amazing!! I ask her would it be ok for me to speak of her in a review, she said sure. She was the sweetest person that I have ever met at an Applebees location, because I have been to so many that have poor service. The whole staff here was very welcoming to us. I truly truly Thank you guys. See you soon. Stay Kind it Looks good on you guys.“

“Zesto’s is a dying breed of restaurant. The sort of small, fast-paced diner establishment that specializes in food greasier than the oil in your vehicle. And man, is it good. You know it’s not healthy. In fact, you’re not sure if anything can be remotely healthy on the menu (even the salad). But this ain’t no rabbit food joint. You came here for the chicken, the burgers, the southern staples cooked as fast as you can sit down. Zesto’s brings you back to a time you didn’t even know existed. And for that, we thank them.“

“First time what a great place service 5 stars will be back“

“Kudos to Taryn (spelling) for giving us outstanding service today! If you haven’t had her as your server, you should request her!“

“The food was fresh and hot. Milkshakes took a while to be completed. The tables were all in need of cleaning, and the trash was overflowing, which grosses me out. Process are reasonable. We had a chicken sandwich platter with hush puppies and white cheddar melts. Yum. Peppermint milkshake was ok. Staff was friendly :) they were working hard so I didn't mention the trash.“

“Always good and reliable love the signature burger“

“I came here on the saturday that USC was hosting Livererpool and Man United around 3pm and was blown away by how quick the service was.

Also the lady who took my order with blue eye liner (i believe) was remarkable, she was so kind. The perfect representation of Five Guys core values.“

“The employee at front register didn’t seem too friendly at first, but observing as we dined in . She was working her tail off running the drive thru window and the front register, . Downsides. Inside the tables were all dirty, the floor was sticky, liter, wrappers, napkins on the floor. The customer access drink machines were both out of order. . Upside was the value, Price is low compared to current inflation. . If it wasn’t for the cheap price and seeing an employee hustling, I’d really give it a one star. . Come off a dollar and hire some more employees to help clean/ maintain.“

“The fries are the best, just like my Mom used to make❣️“

“Excellent food and service! Thank you Cameron. Burgers were delicious!“

“I'm there for the burgers all day every day I love them burgers“

“Love this location. It's a drive through, but the service is quick and friendly. Every beverage I've tried so far has been a hit. The prices are better than Starbucks and the quality and quantity is much better. Scooters for the win!!“

“Today was My daughter's birthday and Every one of the workers were very kind ..... The cashier, and 3 other guys we were showered with fries and ice cream for my princess they checked up on us and showed love ....very attentive to the customers and needs.

One of the biggest things is their were 3 younger staff and one older gentleman.... The younger crew were not playing around they were all working in between constantly moving that was nice to see .. you definitely rarely see that ...To young man who gave us extra fries and the gentleman that got my baby ice cream thanks so much it made her day.

So the staff 12/15/24 peace and blessings“

“If I'm craving a milkshake cook out is 100% my go-to. Did you know that they can mix any and all flavors you want together in there in one cup like magicians? I always get blueberry strawberry and cheesecake 💜💜 there's nothing like a good milkshake in South Carolina. Go on and check it out!! Real actual fruit all chunky and awesome behind them doors ;) ..... I go with my vegetarian friend and she loves it so vegetarian friendly y'all“

“Great little college bar. Excellent bartender and service for the bar. Ate there the day before service could have been better but they were also pretty busy and I could tell the staff was pretty hungover. Will definitely hang out there again We were there for Monday night football lots of fun as I mentioned big time college bar so you will be a lot older than everyone else in there but it was still cool and like I said the bartender was super attentive.“

“I love the eggs and steak and gravy“

“great“

“I just came through for a kids meal and a burger with no bun. The gal working the drive through was so friendly and helpful and the person making my burger went above and beyond by doing a little lettuce wrap instead of plopping it into a container. Such small gestures make a huge difference, thank you!“

“Great place to eat good menu and staff“

“Hunter did an excellent job as our server. He was also bar tending. Hunter was efficient , personable and had a sense of humor! Black and Blue burger was excellent. Cooked as requested. Only disappointment was that there was no outdoor dining available.“

“Jamie has the best Sonic in the Midlands. This Sonic offers a very friendly & courteous staff, quick service, 95% order accuracy, and always fresh tea!! I highly recommend this Sonic.“
