“Cool local spot. Great atmosphere. Small and quaint with hip artwork. Our pizza was a little undercooked and doughy in the middle. 4⭐ for the category. Personal preference for the sauce to be a little more savory and the crust more well done. We had the mixed greens salad and that was excellent. Service was ok. Our server was nice enough but we felt a little rushed. No checking in on the food, no refills, or offer for dessert.“

Although we had a rough time with seating accommodations the managers were very understanding and made sure that my daughter enjoyed her 17th Birthday!! Thanks again for all your helpParking: N/A“

“We went to celebrate our anniversary. We were greeted with kindness, understanding, and genuine care. Alex was a fantastic server and the other wait staff were very attentive. He knew what to suggest on the menu and provided us with great options. Our steaks were delicious and the sides (baked corn and lobster mac-n-cheese) were so tasty. We left with our bellies full and feeling well taken care of. Such an amazing place to go for date night or a special occasion.“

“Always a favorite when we come to town. Fresh local ingredients. The menu is small so each dish is done well. We almost chose somewhere else tonight and I'm so glad we didn't as this was one of the best meals we've had here! Fresh heirloom tomato salad on a bed of arugula with feta and a balsamic drizzle. Mahi Mahi special with a lovely couscous and the best salmon ever.“

“Well, Hendrix is my favorite place in Columbia SC! I always order the half chicken and old fashion! They never let me down, always fresh and delicious. Their sides are fantastic. After dinner the rooftop is the place to be. The service in the restaurant is excellent the rooftop bar could be better....the bartender just simply don't care. You should go and enjoy the place.“

“I came here on a girls night with my friends and we were very happy with our orders. The ambiance was perfect and we loved having a corner booth with pillows by the door. The scallops were served with three sauces. One was a creamy dill sauce, another was a savory balsamic sauce and the other was chive oil with drops of cholula hot sauce. Out of the three, all of us loved the chive oil with hot sauce the most! It was divine and even complimented the Brussels. The service we received was great! The wine was flowing and very good as well. They have a great wine list!“

“I've been wanting to try this place for a few months and man I'm so glad I had the opportunity to stop in today! There is seating inside the restaurant however, We ended up eating in the car (I'm pregnant and a little sensitive to various food smells) they brought our smoothies and food out separately so everything was fresh, and the rigtt he temperature which was really nice. I ordered the loaded chili dog with Mac n cheese and fruit salad. The chili dog was so delicious it had like bbq style baked beans on it as well as traditional chili beans and the chili dog had like a breakfast type sausage with a hint of maple idk it was mf delicious. The Mac n cheese was also pretty good and well seasoned. My husband got the wings with Mac and cheese and fried okra. Okay the fried okra was soooo good! Still crispy and fresh at the same time! Husband said the wings and Mac and cheese were also good. (This means a lot as he is NOT vegan) We also got smoothies I really enjoyed the dragonfruit smoothie and hubby is enjoying the tropical. I wish they had seamoss but they were out today. The woman helping us was so helpful and kind! She was very knowledgeable about their menu and did not hesitate to make recommendations. She was so good at her job we nearly got dessert also! Because we ended up eating in the car she even came back out to check on us which was really sweet.“
