36 Best American Restaurants near Blythewood

“Great dogs and fast friendly service.“

“For a country club I expected slightly more as a retired country club chef. The food was good, nothing special as far as presentation goes and drinks were served in Styrofoam cups! Really??? Service was okay (adequate) not the standards I demanded in the Country Clubs where I executive chef. At least use real glassware in your dining room for Pete's sake. A little garnish on your plates goes a long way and above average attention by the service staff.“

“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.“

“The outside of the building looks vacant and uncared for except for the cars in the parking lot. Inside the restaurant was filled with locals and delicious smells. We both had cheeseburgers and fries. They were cooked perfectly and a good size as well as a good size of fries. The restaurant is simply decorated but clearly the restaurant is a fan favorite.“

“My wife and I have been coming to your restaurant for years now and love it! I told her tonight, in fact, that it is one of - if not THE - most consistent restaurants as far as preparation of food that is in the surrounding Columbia area. Also, our server, Christina (sp) is always spot on in her delivery, her understanding of the menu, and service and we look forward to having her wait on us each and every time. She is amazing and deserves kudos! Thank you always providing us with an amazing dining experience!“

“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!“

“Lizard Thicket on Garners Ferry Rd. has the worst customer service I have never had in a drive thru. I have never had a window shut in my face when requesting extra butter, then when I get the butter it is thrown in my hand. Forest Drive is my restaurant but they are being remodeled 😭... Great people Great service Great Management... I WILL NEVER GO BACK TO GARNERS FERRY... I felt very much racially profiled for no reason. I wasn't raised like that... I love and respect everyone regardless of race. My money is the same color as everyone else and it spends.“

“Just a down home country boy that values great food and pleasant people to serve that food and that’s exactly what my family and I found at the Windmill restaurant. The service is outstanding carried out by caring staff who welcomes us with smiles and seats us as quickly as they can. The restaurant is clean as are the rest rooms. The price of the food is in line with the portions. Reading this review,one might get the impression that we know the people who own and staff this restaurant. That would be an incorrect impression because we don’t know the names of any of those people! Bon appetite.😉“

“We stopped by Rush's in Columbia SC on the way home to Greenville SC from Charleston SC. This was a great little spot for a good burger and friendly staff clean restaurant 😀 03/29/2026“

“Great place, I was really shocked that the salads were as good as they were. Normally when this place satisfies my appetite with bar food like a burger, fries, wings, etc., yet this time I tried a salad and was blown away. Clearly the salad selection at the place is a secret, but worth trying.“

“I have to say that I love ❤️ eating at Cracker Barrel Old Country Store. They have a great menu with a large variety of different foods. The customer service is amazing, very friendly staff. The wait time was very quick and brunch time. I have to say that I have ate at three different locations and all of them were great. 👍“

“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.“
