“I’m not sure which I liked more, the fabulous food or the most delightful waitress Blake. Both will make this a regular stop on our travels.“

“Lena is One of the workers, She is hands-down the best worker there to me . She was nice , CLEAN , & Very great at multitasking. I will be back everyday asking for her 🥰🫶🏽 but overall great place super clean and super nice workers ! Food was A-1 !“

“star was absolutely amazing, i came in right before close and did not make me feel like an inconvenience, i even asked her if she would like me to go somewhere else when i walked in (i work in restaurant so i get it) and she made me feel so welcome that girl needs a raise!“

“The food and service were impeccable!“

“My partner and I decided to try the Cava location on Two Notch, and now we only regret that we didn't come sooner.

We had glanced over the menu before arriving, so we knew what to expect of the food options. There was a trio of older folks in front of us in line who were obviously first time customers, but the ladies on the assembly line were super patient and kind in making sure they knew about the different options and in getting what they wanted. It was very nice to see such professionalism from a customer service staff.

The food itself was immaculate. We each had a bowl loaded with fresh ingredients including protein, veggies, and toppings. The bowl blend went exquisitely with the side of pita chips that was available as a side item.

Suffice to say, we will back soon at this location with empty bellies in anticipation of another delightful dining experience.“

“Highly recommend the Lemon Chicken Platter - it comes with yellow rice and salad (and was very tasty).🍋🍗🍚🥗🤤👍💯❗️“

“Great place with great service! They honor first responders and our veterans, and the restaurant is always clean. Great to have mission bbq in Colombia!“

“The fried rice was greasy and the wings were old and dried out, as if they were cooked the day before. Terrible food. I would have taken it back for a refund if I stayed closer to restaurant. I had to throw the wings away, too hard to eat. That was not fresh cooked chicken or rice. I ordered in restaurant and my order was brought to me in less than 5 minutes (old food). This is the first time I have had s problem with their food.“

“All the food is soooo Good!! My partner on the the ambulance ate all her food,left no crumbs!! Thank you Rib City, I will be back for more delicious Ribs, Chicken,Hash, Chitterlings,Greens,Macncheese“

“some of the best pizza I've ever had.“

“Great food ! This is the closest we have came to authentic Mexican Food since we moved from California. Fajitas were very tasty , salsa had good flavor . And the service was friendly and food came out fast !“

“My wife made reservations here for our before Maxwell and Kem concert dinner. The atmosphere is laid back, with great music. We shared the Genesis salad, which was delicious. She had the Lamb chops, sauteed asparagus and Top Tier Mac & Cheese. She shared her asparagus and it tasted great! I dined on the Reef and Beef, which consisted of a 10 oz steak with shrimp in a garlic butter, Top Tier Mac & Cheese, and Glazed carrots. Everything was delicious! Now, I can't wait to try the salmon, or wings and the smoked collards. Do yourself a big favor and book your table. You will not be disappointed!!!“

“Our waitress was as sweet as could be - all smiles and efficient. The outdoor lunch date with my husband was wonderful thanks to her and the brisket panini my husband had and the delicious chicken salad with cranberries on a brioche that I had. I wish I could remember our servers name to personally credit her!“

“Great place to grab lunch. The food is so good!!“

“Great food you must try them out“

“Everything about this deli ROCKS!!!!“

“We got a calzone and Stromboli. Both were absolutely delicious. Only complaint is how long it took to wait for our orders. Apple Maps said they were open late at night, Google maps said they were closed. Glad we walked over there to find them open after 1am.“

“Absolutely delicious pizza and salad! The staff is so talented and very kind and accommodating!“

“Stopped off here after shopping at Marshall's. Gentlemen (40s maybe 50) with Beard and Older lady were working the Drive thru. Gentlemen was complimentary on my Teal Jeep Wrangler and Matching Tire Cover. He was very pleasant during my money transaction. Love great customer service. Go Harbison!“

“Nice battery brewery with small menu of traditional bar food. Wide selection of beers that is updated regularly. Not a huge selection of food, but the pizza I ordered was fairly large and tasted like pizza. A lot of space to sit so large groups can be accommodated, including both indoors and outdoors. The building is an old airplane hanger and includes a large amount of brewing equipment which is really cool to see. A great spot to hang out and drink with friends.“

“This food is amazing! Nico was my server and he was so pleasant and attentive. I will definitely be back!“

“We stumbled upon this place while waiting on our street market to setup. The staff and food were amazing. We'll definitely be back. They have outside seating so we'll bring the dogs next time.“

“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!“

“My experience was amazing, I definitely would recommend this establishment. the service and servers was amazing. keep up the good work! Lucca our server was great and very attentive. Lucca made me the birthday 🎂 girl feel special.“

“Been coming here for 2 yrs, food is always decent. No complaints. I gave 4 stars cause last night I ordered to go and I caught hell in the RR!! Ik it was what I ordered cause that was all I had eaten that day (hadn’t eaten last night, so nothing from the night before). Just saying, I’m not sure what that was about but don’t let it happen again.“

“Always clean and friendly staff!“

“Love Lillian, her staff and her food! Always 5 ⭐️!!“

“Great experience! Top tier! 10/10“

“Great place to grab a quick meal to eat-in or to carry out. The breads, meats, cheeses, and vegetables are always fresh. Not only is the food delicious, the service is great as everyone seems to enjoy working there. I am always greeted with a smile and a verbal welcome. The restaurant is always clean. The parking lot in front is a bit tight during peak hours but there is plenty of parking on the side of the building. I love Leo's Deli!!“

“The food is dependable and always good. I don't like the way Chick-fil-A has taken to making all of the drive-thrus a nightmare. traffic is everywhere, running in different directions, and it is quite confusing. God forbid somebody hit one of the cones and render it out of place“

“Kendal was excellent,“

“I'm from the west coast and Marcos is the best big chain in the south thus far. Better than Papa John's, Pizza Hut, Domino's, and whoever else I'm missing. My whole family loves the thin crust it's so good and has the right amount of crisp and crunch.“

“I go here a lot since it’s near my house. They have good service and the workers are friendly. The food is always great and it’s a very efficient spot. My favorite thing to get here is the half and half macaroni and cheese and tomato soup with bread. Everything I’ve tried is very well made and delicious!“

“Kind gestures go a long way.
You know we dont know what people may be going through when you come across them. That word or little kind gesture goes a long way. I couldn't allow this day to go by without giving Chick-fil-A #7515 on Two Notch Rd Columbia, SC. thier flowers.
Congratulations on serving me well. 🥰❤️😇 #loved“

“I placed a mobile order and mistakenly entered in this location. Andrew called me and said my order was ready. I was at a neighboring CFA. They obviously didn’t have my mobile order so I called Andrew back to let home know I was headed his way. He was so pleasant and walked out to me car as he saw me approaching…..and it was a rainy rainy day! They even gave me hot fresh fries! Customer service at CFA is a gold standard. I appreciate Andrew!!“

“The BEST pizza in town“

“This store is well run but it is so popular during rush eating hours especially on weekends that they make mistakes or don't give minor items like sauces or dressing. Check your orders no matter how large!
The food is very good though so that is my only issue. Give then a try, you will enjoy it.“

“Usually Chick-fil-A doesn't disappoint, but today no salt on the fries, and the regular drive-thru was moving faster than the mobile line. There should be a spot for people to pull up of their order is not ready, literally 4 cars in front me got their orders meanwhile the first car had not, leading to a backup.“

“Ok best kept secret when it comes fried chicken, not a fan of the tiny fries, but the different ice tea flavors are a welcomed sight.

The manager, I think her name is Jennifer, sorry if I'm wrong, but she is attractive as she is professional.“

“People seem to talk down on Olive Garden these days. I’m not sure why. Food was really good. I ordered to go. Fettuccine Alfredo with shrimp, salad, and breadsticks. Pasta was cooked to perfection. Sauce was really tasty. They gave me 15 shrimp. If I ordered a side of extra shrimp I would have too many. I’m really satisfied and will go again sometime soon!“

“Great food and great staff..“

“Because the restaurant is always busy and crowded I barely come but when I do the service is always great, I always get all my condiments, order is correct. I just had them a couple days ago and it hit the spot. My issues were that they forgot to put my fries from the 2 combos in the bag so I had to go back luckily I just drove across the road just to get out the way due to the high traffic to check the bag. The other issue I had on this visit and has happened another time before is. If I have to wait on fresh Mac and cheese to complete my order, I expect to have some type of the baked cheese from the top as well but I didn't have any so that was a disappointment because I can understand if that wasn't a fresh pan but it was and I had to wait for it so to not have no cheese (and this is one of my favorite foods Mac and cheese) was a let down a little. Other than that everything was great.“

“Update 2-13-26 - great employee and good. The restaurant is now cleaner. Nice work. The details matter. Thank you!

Great food, location, and service for lunch on Monday 12-28-25. Only complaint is the facilities are not being cleaned well. The bathroom walls, doors, and tops of the garbage cans are all filthy. It’s the easy stuff they need to improve at this site.“

“Best pizza around! Greek salad is awesome, good prices too.“

“Best Japanese restaurant in Columbia. Food and service was AMAZING! All of the staff clearly works so hard. Our server had multiple large tables and still kept up the amazing service although extremely busy. The atmosphere is great and food was even better. No complaints. 10/10“
