“Absolutely fabulous Italian restaurant - food was exquisitely prepared. I had the linguine seafood dish which had the perfect amount of « heat » to compliment the seafood. And, you won’t find a better server than Drew Austin who is extremely knowledgeable about the menu offerings and delightfully attentive!!!! No doubt one of the best restaurants in the southern U.S. and I’d venture to say in the entire U.S. We are so grateful to have this quality in Columbia, SC.”
“Every food item and drink I have had at this place has been outstanding!! I love the salsa bar!! The atmosphere and the employees are excellent!! So happy I have discovered this place!!”
“Prices has gone up but enjoyable.Kid-friendliness: Kid friendly but to expensive unless they say free with adult entrée.Wheelchair accessibility: The have parking and tables.”
“I love everything about Mama Henry's! Never been disappointed. Consistent with great food and service with each and every visit.Parking: Large, open lot on the side, if front parking isn't available.”
“We stopped here while in town for a concert. Great atmosphere, food is great as is the beer. Employees were all engaging and pleasant to talk with. Story behind the building and business is awesome. Defiantly going back next time passing through!”
“I'd heard good things about their menu and decided to take my teens for dinner since other plans fell through. The bar was full when we arrived a little after 7, we took 2 tables near the bar, no hostess or server. A bartender came over to take our order, sweet tea was unsweetened, replaced with soda. Several employees (I assume bc the owner was passing out tax documents to them) seemed to be hanging at the bar, not sure if they were on the clock or not... took over an hour for food to arrive, many to go orders ahead of us apparently. Appetizer came out with the meal (personal pet peeve), but everything except for one sandwich was hot and fresh. Loved the app sampler and fries, my drink was well made and strong, however I really wanted the food to be better. Mac and cheese looked amazing, but there was a strange flavor that kind of got caught in your throat, wraps were ok, limp lettuce too much dressing. Atmosphere was fun, good music, lots of games, I'll definitely come back just for drinks with the adults. I wish they'd had one dedicated server for the night (although I understand it was a quiet Tuesday) to lend a hand running food and whatnot. Full disclosure, the owner is kinda sorta family (lol divorced his nephew), so I wanted to love it but felt meh instead.”
“It's a great Italian restaurant despite the size of the restaurant! I enjoyed the food there especially the chicken Parmesan and the baked spaghetti! I also enjoyed the soup, which was a spinach and Italian sausage style soup! The service was excellent and the waitress was very nice and friendly! That was the biggest highlight of the visit! The atmosphere was very pleasant and the restaurant was very clean overall! I'm glad that I chose this restaurant for visiting Columbia!”
“So far it's been great. Ordered their fried whiting (9/10)with fries(7/10) and the seasoning on the whiting was pretty good. I do feel they should include more fries with the order, however for the price it was a steal. The fish comes with your standard run of the mill roll (5/10). their macaron (8/10)i is pretty good as well. Ordered through DoorDash”
“We came here for 3 nights with Tennis a team. We may have gotten a little loud at times having drinks before the bar opened but they handled it very well. the staff was very helpful in advising us good places to go eat luch/dinner etc. The Bartenders were Rockstars!! The manager even allowed us some discretion with our checkout time because of some weather delays with our tennis tournament. Great place to stay and a very reasonable rate!”
“A little mint in my spring fresh rolls was what I missed in my Asian tour of top cuisine. I've had some over the top delicious spring rolls and they all came with this most flavorful and aromatic herb that makes or breaks the experience. Unfortunately, the 5th star missing from this review is because so was the mint. Another casual eatery with some beautiful decor that didn't go well with the We are Champions song and pop music radio. Cool market next door for your next adventure.”
“At first I went to the register and I got what I needed there then I walked over to the restaurant side and ordered my food. It was all ready by 15-20 minutes. They staff was so friendly and made me feel really welcome. I love the atmosphere here.”
“Stopped there around 9:30pm after flying in to the Columbia Airport. Although the kitchen was already closed, Jacob was so nice to make us some delicious food. Jacob and the bartender Julia went out of their way to make me and my friend comfortable and welcome! We really appreciated the wonderful service and hospitality! Such a great place to go! I hope to visit there again when I am in town.”
“Called in pickup order and it was just about ready when I walked in . Employees were all nice.*Great prices!*Great burgers & fries!** thanks to the lady in the kitchen working solo to get every order fast and accurate!Kid-friendliness: Definitely would take the whole family next time!”
“Great atmosphere great food. Service was a bit slow but the food was worth the wait and the atmosphere made it a great place to hangout and have a great conversation. I recommend the green curry.”
“I’m originally from NYC and I have to say this is definitely the best spot for Chinese food here in SC. I drive about 30 minutes to get me some chicken on a stick. They never disappoint!”
“This was my first time having anything besides wings and it didn't disappoint. Service and chicken were both very good.Parking: We had to circle and wait for a car to leave to find a convenient spot. There is a public parking garage a couple blocks away which would have been the next choice.”
“Love it here, best salad & dressing, cheese sticks and my favorite itls the fried okra and the club sandwich, hubby love's the beef tips with mushrooms!”
“They do not speak a lot of English. They could have talked the meanest things to me in Spanish and I never would have known. But I have to tell you. This place is gold. It's amazing food for an amazing price.Wheelchair accessibility: 2 handicap spots with wheel chair dip on side walk”
“This is a very dog friendly place the weather was perfect so my husband and I ended up sitting outside. Our dog enjoyed fresh water and a pup cup. The sandwiches where pretty good. Super friendly staff.”
“For my last pregnancy, my cravings were carne asada street tacos and i tried many different trucks up and down Augusta Rd... There are other good ones, yes, but THIS truck had me coming back for more! We ordered 30 one time for a get together and every taco was excelente ??? Highly recommend ?”
“I had such a delightful visit at Tropical Smoothie Cafe this morning, both the young ladies womaning the front were so delightful; especially Brice (sp?) who was such a fun character to interact with, and I wasn't the only one who thought so. Ignore the open sign, it's probably haunted. Come on, management! Replace that sign for a better sign so these brave young women don't risk life and limb fighting the demon(s) expressing their demonic intents over the neon.”
“I met a group for a six month planning meeting. Good food selection and service. Walk up to order and they bring your food to the table via numbers.Vegetarian options: I had the Veggie Burger. Very tasty.”
“excellent prices, excellent service, excellent food. with everything that's going on, even in their immediate area, these folks need to be commended for continuing to produce quality and hire quality.”
“Mr. Keandre. At the drive-through, very smart and bright young man he made sure I was taking care of he. Yes sir no sir yes ma’am no ma’am very good kid he treated me with the upmost respect and my wife with the upmost respect just what we need in our youth I hope y’all don’t get rid of ”
“I was in South Carolina for little more than 12 hours and was eager to eat some southern BBQ. The BBQ pit at the Columbia Airport was my only real option. Fortunately I was not disappointed! The BBQ and the fried chicken were both very good. The collered greens were also tasty. The roll was a bit of a disappointment. All in all pretty good airport food.”
“This riverside eatery is a great place to take in the city skyline view. There are amazing menu options for vegans, beautiful specially made cocktails, alongside seasonal wines and beers.”
