“We dined in at JJ Curry and Biryani with my daughters, and we had such a great experience! The Mixed Grill was recommended by the owner himself, and let me tell you, it wasssss greattttt! Everything on the platter was flavorful, juicy, and grilled to perfection. You could taste the authentic spices in every bite. My daughters especially loved the Veg Samosas, crispy, hot, and filled with delicious spiced potatoes and peas. As usual, they were perfect. It’s our favorite every time we visit! We also tried the Garlic Naan and Cheese Naan both were fresh, soft, and went so well with the meal. The staff was super kind. Definitely one of our favorite places for Indian food. Highly recommend the Mixed Grill for meat lovers and don’t skip the samosas! will be back for sure.“

“Best burgers we have tried, we have come here with our employees and our family members and it has always been great, the food is great and the staff are always kind, everything is clean and neat as well! Do recommend for anyone wanting to give their taste buds the best burgers! The Oreo Shake is the best too“

“Stopped in for lunch this afternoon. I sat at the bar. I had the Buffalo Chicken Salad, and it was good. I like the fact that they didn't short change me with the chicken. The service at the bar was exceptional, and the atmosphere was good.“

“As someone who has been coming to this wonderful restaurant since childhood, it has truly become a home away from home for me. Now, as I bring my own kids here, I cherish the joy of sharing meals and memories with family and friends over the years. The staff has always been incredibly welcoming and sweet to my children, making them feel like part of the family with every visit.

One of my absolute favorites is their sopa de pollo (chicken soup). Whenever I’m feeling under the weather, a bowl of their delicious soup paired with a few tequila shots always helps me get out of a funk! I genuinely wish nothing but the best for this place, and I look forward to many more delightful meals here. Highly recommended!“

“It's a nice place to eat if it will more variety of food than it's perfect they have the same things that other Chinese buffet have exact same so if change few things here and there that will be good

Kid-friendliness: Somewhat

Wheelchair accessibility: Not sure“

“I came here looking for a nice pho and found it. I ordered the shrimp spring rolls and let’s just say the peanut sauce was amazing! That I ordered a to go order for the house. I also ordered the Rare beef pho, although they only had one size the price I thought was low for the amount of food they served. Of course for the drink I had to order the Thai Iced Tea which did not disappoint, it was well balanced not to sweet nor bitter. The staff was dope and the movie they had going on was cool as well. I’d definitely be going back to try out other dishes.“

“Hands down the BEST pizza I’ve had since moving to SC seven years ago! I pass over a half dozen other pizza shops (without shame) on my drive there. A true treat for the whole family. Very difficult not to overeat when visiting Shinano’s.“

“Great buffet and choices... had a sauceless pizza, detroit style, BBQ chicken, supreme, classic pepperoni, Hawaiian, and desert pizzas available.

Cost about 10-12 dollars a person but if you eat enough slices youll make up the price quickly.“

“Pleasant atmosphete with plenty of seating.Very courteous no matter who takes the order. Excellent variety of dishes most offer small and larger sizes. Food quality is high! Never a mistake on the order and I get two ample dinners from one small size Moo goo gai pan or broccali beef. 8 minutes from my house doesn't hurt.“

“The bartender Alley is the best! I’ve had great service from lots of people here including Cat, Amanda, Maddie W, Maddie A. Erica, Raylee, and Fallon are also awesome!“

“The best lunch spot in Columbia! The food and service was amazing! Highly recommend.“

“I’ve been coming to Rush’s for years every time I come into the Columbia area. The food is so good! The burger is always amazing. The milkshake is a nice dessert. But those fries. They are delicious! I normally use ketchup as a habit with most fries I eat. These are the only fries that I feel the ketchup is not needed. To me, that is the sign of a good fry! Keep it up. If I could get a Rush’s in the upstate, I’d be even happier!“

“I ordered over the phone. Took about 10 min for them to prepare my food (I wasn’t far) walked in the restaurant was clean. I ordered orange chicken and fried rice. When I got my food it was very fresh. The chicken was hot and steaming so was the rice. It also had a very good taste. Very impressed. I’ve been to a lot of Chinese food spots and they always miss on quality and flavor. This deserves 5 stars. Everything was fresh and hot.“

“Love this place. Food is good and service is good. The only thing that makes me concerned now is you can no longer see into the kitchen. It's not a big deal but it was always fun to be able to watch them cook while you wait. Now it's all blocked off by cardboard and other things and just gives a negative impression that something is being hidden. (i know they aren't - it's just how it feels)

With that said I will always love and support this place. The food has been amazing - the service has been great. Portion sizes are great. I literally cannot find anything wrong with them - except the mentioned above which isn't even wrong (they have every right to not allow customers to see back there).

Definitely recommend.“

“food cooked perfect, bon appetite 😋“

“Great food and service! My husband had the filet and I the ribeye, both were cooked perfectly, and seasoned perfectly! Our son loved his fries and burger, sometimes children meals are treated as after thoughts, this was not. Entire meal and service was wonderful!“

“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 visited for the first time today for lunch. The chicken chimichangas and seafood enchiladas were amazing. The Mexican street corn salad was Devine! The atmosphere was impressive. It was not what I expected from a strip mall restaurant. We will be back!“

“I can’t say enough great things about this establishment! Yes, the food is good. It’s Moe’s! What I’ve been blown away with is the impeccable service and friendliness of this establishment! Bryan Raymond is the epitome of what a great manager should be! He’s super friendly and always attentive to his customers. He is well respected by his crew and leads them with excellence. Quite frankly, he’s the hardest working manager I’ve encountered, anywhere! I hope the ownership takes account of the rockstar they have in Bryan!“

“The only place I go for the best Chinese food once you go you can't stop. Delicious food all the time

Vegetarian options: Just tell them what veggies you want in your meal and they will honor your suggestion

Parking: If you can't park out front, you can park in Food Lion parking lot too“

“During my recent inaugural visit to Upper Crust, I was treated to a truly exceptional experience. Guiding me through the culinary journey was Christopher, our attentive server whose warmth and knowledge of the menu were remarkable. Christopher not only provided insightful recommendations but also ensured our glasses were never empty and our food arrived promptly. The dishes were served piping hot and exuded freshness, a testament to the quality upheld under the new ownership, of which Christopher proudly shared his involvement as part of the management team. To encapsulate my satisfaction, I can only urge you to request Christopher's service when you next visit. He truly deserves a raise for his outstanding hospitality.“

“Janet and I stopped in for a drink and stayed for a great dinner! We are full time rv'rs and have sat at many bars in the US, and this establishment turned into a favorite. The food, ambiance, social interaction - along with Scott, our bartender, were wonderful!“

“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.!!!!👍“

“We stopped at the main restaurant for a meal years ago on our way to or from Florida and fell in love with the Barbecue sauce. Have stopped in when the time is right for a meal. Have the sauce delivered now.“

“The last time we went for lunch our server was great. With the last bite of each course, he brought the next course within seconds. However, I wish the food was as good as his service. It is very generic and bland. I enjoyed the steamed dumplings the most but much of the other food had no Asian flavor and is very Americanized.“

“My Bestie and I visited this store on one of the busiest days of the year, Valentine's Day. RO, HALEY,AMY, and LINDSAY all the staff was AMAZING!!! Reservations was required because of this special day. The store was decorated very festive for Valentine's Day. The store had a balloon arch to take pictures with your date. The atmosphere was amazing and everyone vibing to the selection of music. Kudos to the staff for making this day pleasurable.“

“My first time at this location and the experience was good for me. Ordered at the location, waited about 12 minutes as told and it was hot and ready for me. It tasted good. The guy who took my order was very pleasant too. Would be nice to maybe have a chair inside for someone who may prefer to wait in the location for their order to be ready.

Parking: The parking is great, huge complex space.“

“This cafe offers real coffee, La Vazza lattes, and unique dishes from French to Mexican cuisine! I’d highly recommend this place to locals and visitors alike!“

“Great place and friendly service. Daily specials offer a nice variety. Family- oriented place with a separate bar area with huge TV screens for sports coverage.“
