“Best meat lovers pizza and kids friendly“

“We love Pontiac! The food is always great. It’s also the little things. My dog loves when a place has a drive through, which they do, and all she wants is them to say hi to her. They are always so sweet to her when we hit the drive through!“

“Im a vegetarian therefore it’s hard finding places to eat when i don’t feel like cooking . However i think i’ve finally found a regular spot . I first tried them eating off my moms plate and was blown away by the flavor of the okra & creaminess of the mac and cheese . I created my own order of a veggie plate shortly afterwards & thats when I found out it’s a vegan spot !!! EVEN BETTER !!! I ordered the mac / okra & kale salad as the sides for the veggies plate and when i say everything was immaculate !!! The vinaigrette 🤏🏾🤏🏾 . I just created my 2nd order & i had her order for me due to me being highly indecisive . I was stuck between wings and nachos , she chose the nachos & baby this CHILI !!!!!!!! 👌🏾👌🏾 definitely made a great choice !!! Only critique is i would add more toppings like actual nachos should be (lettuce tomato olives jalapeños pico etc) I cant wait to try the wings next !!! definitely my go to spot for when i dont want to cook my own vegetarian meals . I also just signed up for my gym membership . Great combination for my healing journey !! Overall i highly recommend !!! 100/10 !!!! I wish u guys had a sample night to try everything so ik for sure what i want next time . But im pretty sure whatever i chose to order will amaze my tastebuds for sure 👌🏾“

“I have been a customer of this organization from Hunt Club Road to Jackson Blvd, to its current location. The atmosphere is pure Gasthaus, and the food is as authentic as one can obtain in this area.“

“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.“

“My husband was taken to this restaurant two weekends ago and now we have to drive to Columbia just for this restaurant because it has ruined him! LOL 🤣 By the way, we are driving over an hour to eat there! See you guys tomorrow! Delicioso! My husband can't wait!!!!! 😋👍❤️ I give this place five stars and I haven't even ate there!!!!“

“good service n better burgers“

“Today I visited this restaurant for the first time along with my family after traveling over an hour just to get to them. We were blown away by the service, the food was fabulous, atmosphere was great and overall experience was wonderful. I would highly recommend this restaurant.“

“This was the best Indian food I have ever eaten in my life. The building has just been renovated so it is beautiful and clean. The owners were very friendly and treated us like family. I will see you again soon.“

“Me encantó todo! Muy amables!“

“We had the best pizza and cannolis! Can’t wait to go back!“

“I’ve never felt the need to write a review before, but the service here was amazing! Our server was so kind (we unfortunately didn’t catch his name), and the food was delicious. Everything came out quickly, the place was very clean, and overall it was a great experience. We’ll definitely be coming back!“

“Great place, I was really shocked that the salads were as good as they were. Normally when this place satisfies my appetite with bar food like a burger, fries, wings, etc., yet this time I tried a salad and was blown away. Clearly the salad selection at the place is a secret, but worth trying.“

“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!“

“I cannot tell you how much I love this place!! Their staff went above and beyond to help us with a last minute birthday cake order when our original one canceled day of our party ! It’s was absolutely delicious and was one of the most beautiful cakes I’ve ever seen! You’ve earned a lifelong customer 💕“

“Healthy choices ,great service and yummy bowls! Love ❤️ poke bros“

“My first visit to Pho Viet was an absolute delight! The service was outstanding, and the pho was nothing short of amazing—rich, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. I also loved the relaxed, laid-back atmosphere. An easy 5 stars across the board!“

“We have been regularly visiting relatives in Columbia. I believe we have tried every Chinese buffet in the area. Magnolia Buffet is decidedly better! We noticed that there weren't as much variety as other buffets, but the quality of the food was good. in particular, we though the sushi was good. Although, a little pricier than other buffets ... it was definitely worth going.“

“Gigantic portions, when I came to pick up my order they made sure an extra time everything was in the bag, the food tasted fresh, was hot, and was really good in my opinion. Also it was super easy to place a pickup order over the phone :) I definitely will go back to this place to try their other food beyond just their miso soup and hibachi steak bowl (which was great, the steak and veggies were especially good with their white sauce).“

“Was here for Cinco de Mayo celebration. I can't speak on food because I didn't eat, only drank. I had a good time. Keep in mind that this is not the regular atmosphere, but at the same time it looks like a great place to meet up and chill.“

“I have had the opportunity to pick up food from this location twice in the past few days. Both times I was greeted and served by Austin. Such a respectful young man and was very accommodating and polite. He is the perfect person to have greet customers and set the mood for a good dining experience. Great job to whomever hired this young man. Good employees are hard to find. Please take care of him as he is certainly taking care of your customers.“

“food cooked perfect, bon appetite 😋“

“I recently moved to South Carolina and I have been craving a really good Italian authentic restaurant as a New Yorker from Brooklyn it’s hard to find good pizza out of New York and I was craving a good pizza and I decided to try this place and I am absolutely thrilled. Their regular cheese pizza it was perfectly made their chicken Parmesan absolutely delicious the bread so soft and delicious taste so fresh. Also, the cheese, garlic bread, my kids and I loved I give this place a 10 out of 10.“

“We stopped by Rush's in Columbia SC on the way home to Greenville SC from Charleston SC. This was a great little spot for a good burger and friendly staff clean restaurant 😀 03/29/2026“

“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.“

“I enjoy and come to this place often. However, I order my food it usually comes out great. They are kind and well-mannered people here. I am from New Jersey, so I look forward to eating here as the food reminds of Chinese food from back home. The woman that works the register is always kind. She knows my number and greets me kindly any time I call. The young man that helps in the front is kind as well. The kitchen seems well put together and is in order. The dining area is always clean when I walk in. I'm always in and out my food takes 15 always on time. Even when they had forgotten my shrimp fired rice one night. They were kind enough to document it in their system and told me to return during the week and I ended up going there for my lunch break and it was hot and ready for me. I have witnessed and seen customers being rude to the woman in the front. I will say this treat people kindly. They are willing to fix mistakes as we are human we all make them no one is perfect. I have cherished these people and respect their business and hope they continue to stay open as not many restaurants in Columbia South Carolina keep consistency with their food. I would say check them out and get your whole wings fried hard.“

“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!“

“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!“

“It is LOUD. And I hate when people use all caps but that’s how loud it was. Zero buffer for noise and the restaurant wasn’t even that crowded. The server Thomas was quick and nice enough...but when they brought out the pork belly and avocado tacos with no avocados, he told me to “check the menu” and brought a menu over to me to check. When he saw that there was, indeed, supposed to be avocado on the tacos, he said they’d bring a side out. I just thought it weird that he brought a menu to the table for me to double check instead of 1. knowing the menu and 2. treating the patron correctly🤷🏼‍♀️ The manager came over to abruptly ask “if everything was ok?” and sort of scared us. He popped up out of nowhere and looked like he’d been drinking since 11am. Here’s my advice, owners: don’t let employees drink until after their shift. Take the loud tvs out. Turn down the music and put some noise buffers up. Portions are good and the food was pretty good! Tighten the ship and you’ll have a full parking lot every day.“

“Flounder and that’s enough 😂“

“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!“

“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.“

“If you’re looking for hibachi, sushi, great vibes, or a place to celebrate something special — Sumo is the spot. Highly recommend! 🔥🥢🎉“

“I got the sweet and sour chicken and it was delicious! Service was not so good. My husband got the Mount Fuji roll and ate every bite. And it's a pretty big serving. He did say the Mount Fuji roll should come with rice .. overall that was a good meal and we would go back there again.“

“This is the best place in the area if your looking to fill your Chinese food fix like have to its better than my all time favorite Hong Kong in hartsville sc but , now I have 2 great places this place has great staff and great food at a great price Will make it back on regular p.s the honey chicken is outstanding“

“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!“

“Our server was fabulous!! Unfortunately I forgot to ask her name…“

“Stopped in for a quick bite before driving up to Greenville. My server Lindsay was awesome, food was surprisingly good. Much better than the WH by me. She made sure I had refills and was patient about me being a picky eater. Cooks did great, will definitely be back.“

“I like the grits bowl it come with sausage, egg and grits“

“Great service!!! Food was awesome!!! Manager Dee Lino was really on it!!!!!“
