Her bright and positive smile always has the most uplifting effect on my day and it makes me want to come back daily.

“I work nearby and thought I’d check it out for lunch. They were slammed when I walked in, but the line moved quickly and efficiently. Staff making the sandwiches were courteous and accommodating. Sandwich was delicious and fresh. They have a daily special which includes a sandwich, chips and drink for about $10. I got a turkey and ham sub on white and it hit the spot!“

“My partner and I decided to try the Cava location on Two Notch, and now we only regret that we didn't come sooner.

We had glanced over the menu before arriving, so we knew what to expect of the food options. There was a trio of older folks in front of us in line who were obviously first time customers, but the ladies on the assembly line were super patient and kind in making sure they knew about the different options and in getting what they wanted. It was very nice to see such professionalism from a customer service staff.

The food itself was immaculate. We each had a bowl loaded with fresh ingredients including protein, veggies, and toppings. The bowl blend went exquisitely with the side of pita chips that was available as a side item.

Suffice to say, we will back soon at this location with empty bellies in anticipation of another delightful dining experience.“

“Highly recommend the Lemon Chicken Platter - it comes with yellow rice and salad (and was very tasty).🍋🍗🍚🥗🤤👍💯❗️“

“My husband and I had a great experience. The food was really good and the customer service was great. My husband and I have been complaining about the food experience in Columbia, but Mission BBQ was a pleasant surprise. We enjoyed it so much that we ordered more food to go.“

“The fried rice was greasy and the wings were old and dried out, as if they were cooked the day before. Terrible food. I would have taken it back for a refund if I stayed closer to restaurant. I had to throw the wings away, too hard to eat. That was not fresh cooked chicken or rice. I ordered in restaurant and my order was brought to me in less than 5 minutes (old food). This is the first time I have had s problem with their food.“

“All the food is soooo Good!! My partner on the the ambulance ate all her food,left no crumbs!! Thank you Rib City, I will be back for more delicious Ribs, Chicken,Hash, Chitterlings,Greens,Macncheese“

“some of the best pizza I've ever had.“

“My wife made reservations here for our before Maxwell and Kem concert dinner. The atmosphere is laid back, with great music. We shared the Genesis salad, which was delicious. She had the Lamb chops, sauteed asparagus and Top Tier Mac & Cheese. She shared her asparagus and it tasted great! I dined on the Reef and Beef, which consisted of a 10 oz steak with shrimp in a garlic butter, Top Tier Mac & Cheese, and Glazed carrots. Everything was delicious! Now, I can't wait to try the salmon, or wings and the smoked collards. Do yourself a big favor and book your table. You will not be disappointed!!!“

“Great food ! This is the closest we have came to authentic Mexican Food since we moved from California. Fajitas were very tasty , salsa had good flavor . And the service was friendly and food came out fast !“

“Our waitress was as sweet as could be - all smiles and efficient. The outdoor lunch date with my husband was wonderful thanks to her and the brisket panini my husband had and the delicious chicken salad with cranberries on a brioche that I had. I wish I could remember our servers name to personally credit her!“

“Everything about this deli ROCKS!!!!“

“Great place to grab lunch. The food is so good!!“

“Great food you must try them out“

“Nice battery brewery with small menu of traditional bar food. Wide selection of beers that is updated regularly. Not a huge selection of food, but the pizza I ordered was fairly large and tasted like pizza. A lot of space to sit so large groups can be accommodated, including both indoors and outdoors. The building is an old airplane hanger and includes a large amount of brewing equipment which is really cool to see. A great spot to hang out and drink with friends.“

“Absolutely delicious pizza and salad! The staff is so talented and very kind and accommodating!“

“We got a calzone and Stromboli. Both were absolutely delicious. Only complaint is how long it took to wait for our orders. Apple Maps said they were open late at night, Google maps said they were closed. Glad we walked over there to find them open after 1am.“

“This food is amazing! Nico was my server and he was so pleasant and attentive. I will definitely be back!“

“MY NEW FAVORITE PLACE! The food was incredible and the atmosphere perfect! I didn't get our server's name (curly hair on top) but he was fantastic, very attentive!“

“We stumbled upon this place while waiting on our street market to setup. The staff and food were amazing. We'll definitely be back. They have outside seating so we'll bring the dogs next time.“

“food was great and the staff was super friendly and so nice“

“Always clean and friendly staff!“

“It’s always a great visit at Chick Fil A but this one was top tier!

When I came in two corporate Chick Fil A men were heading out , and one opened the door for me . When I walked up , the cashier immediately said “Are you picking up or Placing an Order” , immediately ready to service me! She let me know she would take my order as soon as I was ready.

Dave placed my order. He was knowledgeable about the Tortilla Soup I asked about.

Food was DELICIOUS! I got the 12 ct nugget and decided to give to soup a try for the first time. Wonderful choice. Absolutely delicious! Just perfect. Love the hint of spice ! Just enough!

Lastly, Marie came around and made sure my meal was tasty and took my tray when I was done eating.

I was in the mall and almost went to the CFA there but opted out . Glad I did. I love this location.

Definitely enjoyed my lunch on my day off .

Wonderful team, Chick Fil A !“

“Love Lillian, her staff and her food! Always 5 ⭐️!!“

“Great experience! Top tier! 10/10“

“Great place to grab a quick meal to eat-in or to carry out. The breads, meats, cheeses, and vegetables are always fresh. Not only is the food delicious, the service is great as everyone seems to enjoy working there. I am always greeted with a smile and a verbal welcome. The restaurant is always clean. The parking lot in front is a bit tight during peak hours but there is plenty of parking on the side of the building. I love Leo's Deli!!“

“The food is dependable and always good. I don't like the way Chick-fil-A has taken to making all of the drive-thrus a nightmare. traffic is everywhere, running in different directions, and it is quite confusing. God forbid somebody hit one of the cones and render it out of place“

“Kendal was excellent,“

“I'm from the west coast and Marcos is the best big chain in the south thus far. Better than Papa John's, Pizza Hut, Domino's, and whoever else I'm missing. My whole family loves the thin crust it's so good and has the right amount of crisp and crunch.“

“The BEST pizza in town“

“Outstanding Service Thanks to Astrid!
Our visit to Chick-fil-A was absolutely amazing, and Astrid truly made the experience exceptional. From the moment we were greeted, she was warm, professional, and genuinely attentive. She took the time to make sure our order was correct, answered questions with a smile, and made us feel welcomed and valued as guests.
The food was fresh, hot, and prepared perfectly exactly what you expect from Chick-fil-A but Astrid’s customer service took it to another level. She checked in on us, made sure we had everything we needed, and did it all with a positive attitude that made the visit memorable.
It’s rare to come across service that feels so sincere and caring. Astrid is a true asset to the team, and because of her, this was more than just a quick meal it was a great experience. We’ll definitely be back!“

“Kind gestures go a long way.
You know we dont know what people may be going through when you come across them. That word or little kind gesture goes a long way. I couldn't allow this day to go by without giving Chick-fil-A #7515 on Two Notch Rd Columbia, SC. thier flowers.
Congratulations on serving me well. 🥰❤️😇 #loved“

“It’s late they are closing, cleaning, probably tired as well but the night time manager KP still ptt fr voided good service. Food is still fresh and hot!! She helped me with my order and was very nice very good customer service. It’s always hard finding food around this time of night for me when I get off. Thanks KP❤️ good people do still exist y’all!“

“I placed a mobile order and mistakenly entered in this location. Andrew called me and said my order was ready. I was at a neighboring CFA. They obviously didn’t have my mobile order so I called Andrew back to let home know I was headed his way. He was so pleasant and walked out to me car as he saw me approaching…..and it was a rainy rainy day! They even gave me hot fresh fries! Customer service at CFA is a gold standard. I appreciate Andrew!!“

“Just a quick drop in from shopping. Sat at the bar area. Great atmosphere and everyone was warm and inviting. Food was great but I wanted medium well, and it was medium. Not a show stopper at all, expertly seasoned.... I enjoyed it nonetheless regardless. Bartender, she was very much attentive. Its very appreciated. Thank you.“

“Great food and great staff..“

“Because the restaurant is always busy and crowded I barely come but when I do the service is always great, I always get all my condiments, order is correct. I just had them a couple days ago and it hit the spot. My issues were that they forgot to put my fries from the 2 combos in the bag so I had to go back luckily I just drove across the road just to get out the way due to the high traffic to check the bag. The other issue I had on this visit and has happened another time before is. If I have to wait on fresh Mac and cheese to complete my order, I expect to have some type of the baked cheese from the top as well but I didn't have any so that was a disappointment because I can understand if that wasn't a fresh pan but it was and I had to wait for it so to not have no cheese (and this is one of my favorite foods Mac and cheese) was a let down a little. Other than that everything was great.“

“Better chicken than Zaxby's or Popeyes. Fries are okay. The jar deserts are a TAD over priced but they're amazing. Only dinging a star on service because they had me pull forward at the window and wait in a parking spot. But it was very busy after church on Sunday. Really enjoyed it.“

“This store is well run but it is so popular during rush eating hours especially on weekends that they make mistakes or don't give minor items like sauces or dressing. Check your orders no matter how large!
The food is very good though so that is my only issue. Give then a try, you will enjoy it.“

“Best Japanese restaurant in Columbia. Food and service was AMAZING! All of the staff clearly works so hard. Our server had multiple large tables and still kept up the amazing service although extremely busy. The atmosphere is great and food was even better. No complaints. 10/10“

“Best pizza around! Greek salad is awesome, good prices too.“

“The zalad was delicious. I have no complaints and truly enjoyed my food. It was my first visit, and I will visit again. Employees are very nice and professional. Could not add a photo because I ate the food quickly it was so delicious. ??“

“We had the absolute BEST customer service experience at Zaxby’s on Garners Ferry Road. Every single meal was perfect. 34 individual/separate orders. Before each student could get their drink made, their name was being called for their food. The manager was top notch. He was super encouraging to each of our students. He took the time to show them real-life work skills. Absolutely, hands down, one of the BEST restaurant experiences I’ve ever had!“

“This was our first time eating at a McAllister Deli so I wasn't sure what to expect. It is like a lot of places where you go to the counter, order, pay, get your number plate, and go sit down. The workers were very nice and friendly. They bring the food to your table when it is ready. What a sandwich! I didn't even try and eat it all. It was so thick it hurt my mouth trying to open that wide to take a bite. I ended up only eating half and even that was pushing it since I was so full. I had potato salad as a side ( a side comes with the sandwich) and it was very good also. I would definitely go back again.“

“Good food, good new friends!!!“

“I had a drive thru order. I picked it up and proceeded to go home. When I got there, I had a whole meal missing. I never thought to check the bag because it was Chic fil A!!! I called customer service ans they rectified the situation by offering me a free meal. Way to go for handling the situation promptly.“
