I eat their weekly. Grew up eating Lizards Thicket. Started out at the one that used to be by the airport. I’ve eaten at all of them. They are all good. Love the breakfast. Love the specials. 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.!!!!👍

They don’t cater to dietary restrictions for all customers. Disappointing…

I recently ordered a bacon and egg sandwich along with a grilled pound cake. Upon reviewing my order, I noticed that I was charged for an egg sandwich with cheese. Unfortunately, I have a severe allergy to cheese, so I was concerned about this mix-up.

I reached out to speak with the manager to address the issue. However, I found it challenging to communicate my concerns, as he talked over me and seemed to struggle to listen to my explanation. I attempted to clarify that the order taker likely misunderstood my request, as I would never intentionally order something that could cause an allergic reaction. The manager stated, “I am sorry, ma'am, we can remake the sandwich, but we will need to charge you for the bacon.”

While I appreciate the offer to correct the order, I felt disappointed by the situation. As a regular customer, I value excellent service and believe that part of effective management involves addressing customer concerns and finding ways to resolve issues amicably. I hope this feedback can be taken into consideration for future interactions, as I believe that a little understanding and flexibility can go a long way in enhancing customer experience.

This is a good place! My buddies and I are here at least weekly for breakfast (ALWAYS fish and grits for us). Food is good and a real casual atmosphere. And the bonus.....the waitresses know what we want before we order. Gotta love that!

I surely will miss Lizards Thicket when I move to Tennessee. I love everything they serve. I enjoyed the one downtown as well as the one in Irmo. The portions on my plate are akways generous. I eat healthy when I eat at Lizards Thicket. Lynn Doolittle

Over fried dinners with mediocre sides, likely straight out the can. The pork chops were overcooked and chewy. The fried chicken was dry and room temperature. The biscuits appeared to be two days old. Cabbage was tasteless. Not the Lizard's Thicket of previous years

The food was delicious, very homemade. It's hard to find places that have good southern food. This one feels like your grandma cooked for you and served it to you with love and kindness
