HORRIBLE service. Have never had to deal with such unprofessional and mediocre staff. Food took over an hour just to order and an hour and a half to get a bottled drink. Staff was beyond rude and inpatient with customers. Food looked like it had been microwaved and slap together. Bar should honestly close down. DO NOT GO.

Came here for a couple of drinks while visiting the area and found this gem. As mentioned in other reviews, good environment and a great spot to shoot some pool.

The tables are great. The service is not. The more money you spend and the lighter your skin color, the better you are treated. Very fun atmosphere if you are interested in pool.

Came to sit at bar and have after work cocktail. Bartender was AWESOME!! Very cool, took care of us. Lots of pool players. The door of the pool table by the bar kept falling on the floor and the sound would make you jump lol. BIG BIG pool room next door. 3 steel tip dart boards with lots of players. A wide mix of people, different backgrounds and ages which was really cool!

So I've been to this place 3 times and had wildly different experiences each time. A couple things were consistent so let's start there...This place has very little personal identity imo. It's not a sportsbar. It's not a dive bar(perhaps closest to this). It's definitely not a pool hall(but wants to be). No real personality in the layout, decorations or design of it. Just minimal effort through and through in this regard.I really liked the bartenders in my limited interactions with them. Best thing about the place imo. Great personalities. Just solid folks.Prices: I feel everything was reasonably priced from a game of pool all the way to the food and beverage.Food quality: Likely better than you'd expect given the nature of the place(dive bar meets sports bar meets wanna be pool hall). It would seem the kitchen is trying hard to put out quality food and delivering on that from my experience.A word about Yolanda(she directs pool tournaments there sometimes and perhaps does other things but I can't speak to those). She is a true beacon of light for this place. This lady is really trying hard to do her part. She's an absolute sweetheart just doing it for the love of the game and I commend her efforts.Now for the bad part which unfortunately outweighs all the good from above. The Owner. Wow this lady is absolutely off her rocker. I had never met her before and she screamed at me like nobody has in my entire life before I even knew what I had done wrong she was screaming at me. I kept my cool as best as I could but if you want respect from people you should start by showing them some. How about instead of coming out guns blazing and losing a gasket over something that frankly isn't that big of a deal, simply point out what you'd like for me(or whoever) to change in a normal voice. Maybe even start with an introduction. (Sir, I'm the owner ~insert name here~ you and I have never met but I'd like it if you'd do blank or not do blank. We have this house rule that you don't know about, here it is. JUST SOMETHING LIKE THAT, Try talking to people like a human instead of screaming at them right off the jump).I'm sure I'll never get an apology from the owner as this person doesn't see herself as having done anything wrong. And that's all fine and dandy but if we can't reflect on interactions with others and find fault from time to time, how can we grow? Anyway, best of luck to all the staff there and especially to Yolanda keep doing your thing girl! Peace Out

This place is cool but it's never any sticks for the casual player and the people who have their own sticks use the house sticks to break..and they not trying to come up off of

I’ve been in Columbia for over 20 and this was my first time eating at Racks. The service was outstanding . The waitress was very attentive and helpful. The food was amazing it came out piping hot. I can’t wait to go back and try more food. I loved the atmosphere of adults just having fun.

Great location to play pool with family & teenagers. Unlike Royal Z which turns families away because not everyone is 21 or older some days & others Royal Z lets you play. The Rack staff are friendly. The atmosphere is nice and cool from the summer heat. Over 15 tables to play pool and a smaller area for darts. Highly recommended and my family and I will be going back.
