We were looking forward to going here because the menu sounded really good. However, we tried to order the crab Rangoon nachos and they didn’t have it. We were going to order the ramen and it specifically said that it was really spicy but when asked if we could adjust the spice no one seemed to understand that question. My mom ordered the bulgogi fried rice there were some cold meat pieces in it. I ordered some tacos and it came with only 2 shrimp on it. Overall the food was not very good and it definitely was not worth the price.

Local eclectic taco and burger experience next to the stadium. Seasonal decorations are amazing! Daily special taco offers and $2 taco Mondays. Tacos are ok. Lots of variety but many are on the spicy side. Chips and salsa trio is not worth the price. Chips were overcooked and portions were small although trio salsa/guac/queso tasted good. Service was not great.

The service was horrible! The manager Sasha was rude, unprofessional and had a horrible attitude. I would not recommended coming here and wasting your time and money.

If I could give zero stars for service, I would. As someone who has worked in front of house and back of house for 15 years, this is the worst restaurant I have ever been to due to the service. The manager, Sasha, was unprofessional, rude and had an attitude. Do not come here and waste your money.

This place is enticing due to location and atmosphere, but I’d highly recommend avoiding if you can. It took over an hour to get seated, and had two different servers come by, and both forgot about us. It took about 45 minutes to get waters or drinks. The table next to us sat down about 25 minutes after us and got their food before we did. We complained to the hostess who eventually came over with an attitude and angrily brought us water. We finally placed an order, which took about another hour to come out (they forgot half of the order) and all of the food was super dry and cold. The manager also eventually came by, also with an attitude, and only talked about how she discussed the issues with her team. Did not offer any future discounts or any comped food.
Plain terrible. Everything about the place was awful. Highly recommend you find somewhere else to enjoy your evening.

Came to this location for the Halloween and Christmas decor and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The first time we visited our waitress was great. Second time, we sat at the bar due to heavy wait time and our bartender ignored us until we finally asked for drinks. She seemed very uninterested in serving us. Both times the food was good. It wasn’t anything special that I would rave about, just good. The atmosphere and festive drinks were fun. I’d say visit more for the atmosphere and festive cocktails than the food and service.

Enjoyed Publico on Bull Street and had an amazing experience.. I have been to several of Michael Duganier’s Restaurants and always had a great meal and affordable prices. If you looking for incredible service and food you definitely need to try Publico and Boku!

Didn’t want to let me use the restroom, treated me as if I was a homeless lady & if my fiancé was as a homeless man..they let me use the restroom even though “they weren’t supposed to let me” & made him get out had we said yes we’re dining in would the odds have been different against us? We really felt racially profiled & have heard great things about Publico from the vista location but now we definitely won’t be customers because of the way the staff at this location by the fireflies stadium treated us we will gladly pass there every time we come to an event for the Fireflies….-_-👎🏾

10 tacos + sides is a nice way to share with several people. Spicy Turkey Gyoza was also good.
Service was a bit slow and inattentive.

Only reason for 4 stars is lack of parking. The food tasted amazing, our sweet server was so chill and never made us feel rushed, Katie (spelling?) I hope you made it to the cLemson tailgate and crushed it. Totally decked out in Christmas decorations to get you jolly. The specialty drinks are about $14 and come in cute cups. Cups available to purchase.

Visited this location yesterday evening with my partner and 3 year old to see the lights. There were three hostesses. The restaurant was about 1/3 busy, so there were a ton of open tables. We stood there for a good 5 minutes without being greeted, where I then took it upon myself to ask if we could be seated or if there was a wait. There was no wait.
We sat, but then waited over 10 minutes for no server to ever greet us loI. I watched several walk by, so I grabbed one and asked if we could see a server. At this point, I'm just ready to order some simple appetizers and head out the door.
We ended up waiting for another 10 and just left. It's rather sad, given that this place has great potential. Feels like a waste, like the FOH staff seriously needed some direction or some training.
I would go to the bar, at least you appear to get service there. The 5 pts location appears to be better organized.

Brunch was great, service was top notch, and the atmosphere is amazing. Also really sweet to our kids, and kids had room outside to run around while we waited for food. 10/10 recommend.
