“We’ve always loved Raising Canes Chicken! We need to get some locations in the Columbia SC area so we don’t have to drive over an hour to get it. 😂 The chicken fingers are always fresh and crispy and fries are very tasty too. They’ve got the good ice. Sweet tea is delicious.”

“Had pizza, one with gluten friendly crust, other with traditional crust. The gluten friendly crust was firm and held the cheese, sauce, and toppings well. The ability to customize (unlimited) toppings was welcome. My son chose cucumber as one topping and really liked it. We also got a customized mixed greens salad as well as iced tea. Food was delicious, service was courteous and efficient, and the restaurant was clean and well maintained. The music was alternative, which I particularly like. We are visiting for a skating competition, but I would definitely return if in the area.”

“​Returning to Roberts this past week felt like coming home. It’s been ten years since I was last in the area, and seeing the sisters still running the show made my whole week. The BBQ sandwiches are still unbeatable. I hate onions, but their onion rings are so good I'll literally peel off and eat the breading, call me crazy, but it’s that delicious! Always a bustling crowd, but worth every minute.”

“I am a loyal chic fil a customer! I mean they are top notch compared to other fast food places and honestly the only place I eat when grabbing something quick. The professionalism, politeness, and quick service keeps this customer happy. However…..I do have a complaint. I wanted to start this off with a positive because while I never leave reviews, I feel like this complaint needs to be noted. The delivery app needs a serious update. How can I make a lunch order at 8:30AM with no issues and it be delivered when it says it will be, but if I make one at 9:30AM the lunch items are not available until 10:10?? Please make it make sense. I had to wait around until 10:10 to place a lunch order and was told by the app it would be delivered within 30 minutes at the most. Ok not an issue because my kids lunch isn’t until 11:00, so plenty of time to get there. It took an hour for this food to be delivered and the location is 5 minutes from there. That’s insane to me. When I called to speak to someone to see why my food was not in route yet, it took 6 times for someone to finally pick up the phone and Stacy assured me at 10:51 the food was on the way. Well 5 minutes later I get a text telling me the food was in route and John did not get there until 11:15. I get having to bs to keep customers from getting irate with you on the phone but obviously my order was forgotten about and this is a serious flaw in the app that needs to be addressed.”

I was pulled up to wait for fries. When I got home there were 0 sauces and the sandwich was tiny. Not even a single. On top of that, the fries were cold sooo...why was I even pulled forward. I waited for 16 minutes after paying. I can see why yall don't have any customers. Yall need to go ahead and shut it down.”

“What is the point of placing and paying for your order online if you have to stand in line when you get there with everyone who is ordering in the store. Would it not make sense to be able to go straight to the pickup counter? That’s what every other food business does. Super annoying and will make sure I don’t go back. The whole reason for placing the order online is so you can stop by quickly and pickup....,not stand in line for an additional 10 minutes for the lunch rush.”

But I've been getting the same thing everything I go for years!! Large chicken bowl, enough said. Thanks for staying open and surviving as for some reason there's loads of Asian places that popped up next to them...I don't understand it but you have options!”

“This Arby's has turned around alot. I refused to go hear for a long time due to no one on the mic for the drive-thru and the food being horrible. But this time the food was hot and the manage that runs the day time crew has stepped up the quality of the service and it was an enjoyable experience versus a frustrating one. If you have given up on this Arby's give them a shot during the lunch hour they are a complete change from what use to be at this place.”

“I quit going here a couple years ago because they were just that bad. But today wife wanted chicken soft tacos. I went in cause the drive through had always been a disaster, and since I was going to have to go in to get what I actually paid for I might as well skip waiting in the car. Go in- order on kiosk- paid- took two steps, and I hear my name and an employee hands me my drink. About six minutes later the same guy walks around the counter and handed me my bag. It was all correct and not a sloppy mess like in the past. They actually had sauce in stock and put out to grab next to straws and silverware. Major improvement and zero complaints. I can't even point to something they can improve on. Taco bell is back on the regular menu”
