35 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.“

“Our server was the best - Mia“

“Local, deliciousness, place to eat. We had dinner there. Omg I had no idea on how big the portion sizes are. I had the cajun, honey traditional wings with fries. It was so good. Everything came out pretty fast for us. Our waiter he was awesome, he was tall, red head and very polite to everyone. I didn't catch his name. But he made us felt welcome and very helpful. I highly recommend this place. Oh and the music was loud enough just to also hear the conversations of your party comfortably. We mostly sang to many of them. 😄 I will definitely come again. Great job guys.“

“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.“

“Good home cooking. Fair pricing, family friendly and good quality food“

“I had a great experience on my first visit. The manager and waitress were both very friendly and welcoming, which made a strong first impression. The food was fresh and came out quickly, and the service was prompt without feeling rushed. Everything about the visit felt smooth and well-organized. I’ll definitely be coming back and would recommend this place to others looking for good food and excellent customer service.Thank you Hannah and Nicole for the great convo and customer service.“

“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!“

“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!“

Fresh, well stocked Salad bars and fresh sandwich topping/condiment bar. Creative entree offerings such as Gyros, Croissant French Toast, Breakfast Pizza. Great fresh inventory. Side private dining/presentation rooms. As CIU opened its doors to our leadership conference the Cafeteria Service laid out a spread with a smile.

“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.“

“Great customer service. Waitresses were nice“

“We had an amazing dinner on Thursday. The waitress was amazing and super nice. They accommodated me being on crutches and wanting a table for 4 by the window. 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.“

“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 cannot tell you how much I love this place!! Their staff went above and beyond to help us with a last minute birthday cake order when our original one canceled day of our party ! It’s was absolutely delicious and was one of the most beautiful cakes I’ve ever seen! You’ve earned a lifelong customer 💕“

“This was a veteran's appreciation meal. A lot of veteran's with family were there. The wait time was an hour. They kept me posted on where I was on the wait list which made the wait not difficult. Once at my table, the service was good and fast. The waitress was very polite and professional. The food was wonderful! The meal was complimentary; which allowed us to tip the waitress even more since her service was so professional.“

“There was a lot of people when I got there HOWEVER it moved pretty fast!! Took me about 45 mins ! And the people working inside were super nice and very willing to help you make you day a good one!!!👌🏻 this is a Columbia South Carolina location !! 7451 Two Knotch Rd“

“I want to give a kudos to the manager from last night. I arrived at 9 pm and the bar was empty so i requested a refund. Hunny she said give me 5 minutes, I just have to go to the back to get things moving. Not only did she apologize like 5x but baby she filled that bar full of food and when she noticed I ordered pizza didn’t get made either she provided my family with free coupons to come back.“

“Miss Leslie, was what's right with your resturant. She is the sweetest lady. a real blessing to deal with“

“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.“

“Staff is awesome. Environment is awesome. Food is great. The best local “hole on the wall” 💛“
