“We are a local family and small business ourselves. As a couple and parents of 6, we rarely get to have dates at all. Scott Benny's was the best decision we made today. Hospitality, atmosphere, FLAVOR, all 10/10. We will certainly be back, as well as recommending their services for catering at weddings in the blessed State of South Carolina. God bless Scott Benny's.“

“Our server was the best - Mia“

“Food is always good, servers always pleasant and so many options to choose from. Whether you're there for breakfast or the meat and 3, you're sure to leave with a full stomach and happy heart. The only reason I have the atmosphere a 4/5, was that it can be quite cold sometimes and they either can't or won't change the temp. But over all wonderful.“

“So I stop to chubby's on 10/22/25 and order the spicy pepper jack smash burger it was great chips where dead on live the chips. So 10/24/25 I called in and order 4 terminal cheese steak sandwiches great portion but it was dry the bread was hard not alot of cheese for a cheese steak. It also says on the menu the fries or chub chips comes with sandwich but they charged me 5 dollars extra for each one if it comes with sandwiches why charge for the chips. So I would like to know how can we make this right.“

“I stopped by the BP station to grab some gas. I saw a sign that mentioned ribs being $6.50. The price really sparked my interest. I have to be honest. For the price I figured that it would be the scenario of "you get what you pay for". Let me tell you this!!! That was not the case. Those ribs are top 5 in my 45 years of living!!! I also had to try some of the lemonade as well as the sweets. Both of them were out of this world. The cheesecake was so creamy and flavorful!!! I will definitely be back if I'm in the area!!! I encourage anyone that happens to visit the BP for gas. Do yourself a favor and go next door to grab you a treat!! I assure you that you won't be sorry!!!!“

“The bartender Alley is the best! I’ve had great service from lots of people here including Cat, Amanda, Maddie W, Maddie A. Erica, Raylee, and Fallon are also awesome!“

“I’ve been coming to Rush’s for years every time I come into the Columbia area. The food is so good! The burger is always amazing. The milkshake is a nice dessert. But those fries. They are delicious! I normally use ketchup as a habit with most fries I eat. These are the only fries that I feel the ketchup is not needed. To me, that is the sign of a good fry! Keep it up. If I could get a Rush’s in the upstate, I’d be even happier!“

“Easily one of the best burgers I've ever eaten. Fresh, thick, and juicy with a side of piping hot fries. Would give 10 stars if I could. Drove up from Blythewood and it was more than worth it!!Editing to add:. Even better on the second trip!“

“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.“

“We had wonderful food (the daily special which had two complete chicken breasts on one sandwich) and the shrimp basket. Both were excellent. The slaw and hushpuppies were good too. Our waitress was sweet and attentive. This is the cleanest restaurant I have ever seen...there was not one tiny speck of food or paper on the floor anywhere even though there were diners on all sides of the room. We shall return.“

There was only 2 in my party, but need space for my leg and not be in the way. We started going to this location about 3 years ago and it was the best decision. Our wait staff is always pleasant and delightful. Very clean and super nice staff.“

“Went inside to place a to go order. I had the Steak and Fries, along with 10 Sweet and Spicy wings. I ordered my Steak all the way, and it was delicious! I was really surprised of how flavorful the wings were, they were great! I also like the fact they put some of the wing sauce with the wings, that made it great for dipping. The service was quick, and the atmosphere was nice.“
