One of the last small business eataries in Columbia. The zip burgers are some of the best and it is good old fashioned 70s drive in burger joint food.

I enjoyed this place, a small drive up sit in your vehicle and get some good food and great rootbeer float. If looking for something new or new to the area, I recommend stopping in. I ordered the chili dog and chili cheese fries with a root beer float. They have a jib hamburger that's like a sloppy Joe, pretty good, and several other options worth giving it a try. Just a heads up, make sure to take cash, but the sign said local checks are OK. The building is on the back side of the street, so you might miss it if you are going down the main street. Just informational. Service was great, and the chili and rootbeer is homemade, I believe the lady informed me.

Did Mugs up change their recipe? Been hearing from friends/family just not as good. We've Been going there for over 40 years, never had any complaints until now. Stopped by a little over a month ago. First time this summer. Definitely, the taste to us was different-spicier, it was also more expensive and the portion size was smaller. My chili cheese bun was more bun than chili/cheese. The bun was broken. I asked for extra onions and it had no onions on it at all. My chili cheese dog (asked for extra onions) again had very little chili/cheese and such a small amount of onions you really had to look to see them. The cheese sauce was different too, not as creamy. The wrappers around our food were loose, not tucked in tightly like they used to be. Even the root beer which used to be very cold and served in glass mugs came in a styrofoam cup and was luke cold. I didn't complain because it was still good but definitely not what I was used to or expecting. So Thinking it might just have been a off day for them, we went a second time about 2 weeks ago. Unfortunately we experienced the same issues as before except this time our buns were stale and they were out of chili cheese dogs so we ordered a cheese zip burger instead. Our cheese zip burger was ok, but again it was more bun the burger and the cheese was left off. We happened to hear the cook yell out the window to the ladies taking the orders he was down to 4 hot dogs. It was close to 1:00p, there were 4 vehicles in the parking lot (including us ) which it used be hard to find a place to park. In all the years weve been going to Mugs up not one time have they ever been out of something. The service from the ladies who take our orders hasnt changed. They are always exceptional. Especially the lady who has worked there for a very long time, she does an excellent job, shes always very friendly, full of smiles and we always look forward to seeing her but In our opinion the taste, quality and quantity at Mugs up has changed.

This place is the most amazing place ever. Still really cheap even after they had to increase their prices because inflation was killing them. McDonald's is more expensive than these guys, and their burgers taste better than McDonald's by 1000 times. It's a loose meat burger, but it is the most delicious thing you will ever taste. And the car hops are so good they don't need to write down your order. It's a little hard to find, and it looks like a little shack someone stuck behind a bunch of businesses, but that's what makes it so special. A taste of the old days when you pulled up under an awning turned your car off and waited for a car hop to come take your order rather than talking into a faceless machine. It is also family owned and operated and a small business, which makes it even better. I love this place. Eat here so they never leave us!!
