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.“

Love the staff. Would recommend anybody that has had a bad Experience. Don’t let that one time experience stop you from enjoying a lot more of good experiences there. Highly recommend them.!!!!👍“

“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!“

“I haven’t frequent IHOP in a long time. I have certain dietary restrictions and can’t eat certain foods anymore. One thing I can say is they will accommodate you any way possible, because they understand people have certain foods they can’t eat or have food allergies. I highly recommend IHOP and I’ll be visiting again soon. Mahalo for the delicious food IHOP! 🤙🏽Shaka bruh!“

“Great customer service. Waitresses were nice“

“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.“

“Stopped in for lunch this afternoon. I sat at the bar. I had the Buffalo Chicken Salad, and it was good. I like the fact that they didn't short change me with the chicken. The service at the bar was exceptional, and the atmosphere was good.“

“I enjoy the family atmosphere. This is where my family enjoys gathering for special occasions. My only complaint would be for the front desk person that sits guest, to be more courteous. I would suggest more customer service development to attract customers rather than drive them away. We can’t loose another restaurant in our area. Thank you to all those that make this a positive family experience.“

Cost about 10-12 dollars a person but if you eat enough slices youll make up the price quickly.“

“The best lunch spot in Columbia! The food and service was amazing! Highly recommend.“

“I came in within an hour of closing, and the food was fresh and tasty. I had shrimp fried rice, wings, and cheeseburger baskets. I would say my only complaint is that I paid for extra shrimp in the rice, and I would have ordered double had I known there would be so little. I would recommend this restaurant!!!“

“During my recent inaugural visit to Upper Crust, I was treated to a truly exceptional experience. Guiding me through the culinary journey was Christopher, our attentive server whose warmth and knowledge of the menu were remarkable. Christopher not only provided insightful recommendations but also ensured our glasses were never empty and our food arrived promptly. The dishes were served piping hot and exuded freshness, a testament to the quality upheld under the new ownership, of which Christopher proudly shared his involvement as part of the management team. To encapsulate my satisfaction, I can only urge you to request Christopher's service when you next visit. He truly deserves a raise for his outstanding hospitality.“

Reservations was required because of this special day. The store was decorated very festive for Valentine's Day. The store had a balloon arch to take pictures with your date. The atmosphere was amazing and everyone vibing to the selection of music. Kudos to the staff for making this day pleasurable.“
