“I'd heard good things about their menu and decided to take my teens for dinner since other plans fell through. The bar was full when we arrived a little after 7, we took 2 tables near the bar, no hostess or server. A bartender came over to take our order, sweet tea was unsweetened, replaced with soda. Several employees (I assume bc the owner was passing out tax documents to them) seemed to be hanging at the bar, not sure if they were on the clock or not... took over an hour for food to arrive, many to go orders ahead of us apparently. Appetizer came out with the meal (personal pet peeve), but everything except for one sandwich was hot and fresh. Loved the app sampler and fries, my drink was well made and strong, however I really wanted the food to be better. Mac and cheese looked amazing, but there was a strange flavor that kind of got caught in your throat, wraps were ok, limp lettuce too much dressing. Atmosphere was fun, good music, lots of games, I'll definitely come back just for drinks with the adults. I wish they'd had one dedicated server for the night (although I understand it was a quiet Tuesday) to lend a hand running food and whatnot. Full disclosure, the owner is kinda sorta family (lol divorced his nephew), so I wanted to love it but felt meh instead.“

“The swordfish was phenomenal! And I am not known for raving over food. The portions are not huge, but that means I didn't leave feeling stuffed. If I'd left right then I would've been thrilled, but I had the turtle cheesecake for dessert and it was at best okay. I would've preferred to have left with the memory of the swordfish. But the service was good. 2 people for dinner was $100 so it's not the cheapest option out there, but I would - and will - go back.Parking: Limited street parking but there is a free public parking garage across the street“

“A cozy atmosphere that greets you even before you enter the building in the form of 3 friendly cats. It feels more like a home than a restaurant with the staff as a family that tends to your dietary needs. The owner Emmi went out of her way to prepare the nachos I ordered vegetarian style for me and the greek spinach wrap was incredible. Local spots like this make me feel welcome after moving down south“

“So far it's been great. Ordered their fried whiting (9/10)with fries(7/10) and the seasoning on the whiting was pretty good. I do feel they should include more fries with the order, however for the price it was a steal. The fish comes with your standard run of the mill roll (5/10). their macaron (8/10)i is pretty good as well. Ordered through DoorDash“

Jacob and the bartender Julia went out of their way to make me and my friend comfortable and welcome! We really appreciated the wonderful service and hospitality! Such a great place to go! I hope to visit there again when I am in town.“

“Food was a hit or miss. I spit out some of my breakfast quesadilla because there was a sweet pickle in it (nasty). Husbands dish was under-seasoned. The parfait was delicious but was put in a to-go box (awkward). Shrimp and grits were good and so was the everything bagel. I probably won't ever order from here again.“

“This place is classic diner in all the aspects. Best Mac n cheese I've had in a long time. The entire meal was delicious. Hamburger steak with onions, Mac n cheese, green beans, and rice n gravy, and corn bread. This place is nothing elaborate, but the people are welcoming and friendly, and the food was delicious. 2 lunch plates and 2 sweet teas $24. They have daily lunch specials and each plate comes with choice of meat and 3 sides. Breakfast starts at 6 AM.Parking: Not a lot, but it's free“

“Well me and my wife are getting back into shooting pool but the pool hall we drove 20 min. to was closed so we found this little hole in the wall. I will say this they have some if the best pool tables I've ever played on. Very friendly atmosphere inside. My only quirks were it is very dark in the front and needs a neon sign or lights in the front to brighten it up. That is the only reason I didn't give it 5 stars. I would definetly go back to this bar to shoot pool and the drinks look appealing as well.“

“This may very well have been the best burger I've ever eaten. I ordered through Doordash at about 1am, with an estimated delivery time of 50 minutes. Burger Den and my outstanding driver had it at my doorstep in less than 30 minutes. 100% recommend, and 100% will order again. I got the Wake and Bacon double burger with an over medium egg, sautéed onions, fries, and the cheesecake. The whole meal was so revolutionary I left a review on Doordash and went out of my way to leave one on Google.“

“We recently enjoyed breakfast at Waffle House, conveniently located at 2846 Charleston Hwy, West Columbia, SC 29172. It's safe to say that this particular Waffle House stands out as the best in the Columbia area, and here's why.From the moment you walk in, you're greeted by a warm and inviting atmosphere. Notably, the restaurant is consistently clean, which is always a plus. Even more impressive is the friendly waitstaff, who seem to have an uncanny knack for remembering our order, even when we visit with months in between.Our go-to choice at Waffle House is the All-Star Specials, a hearty meal consisting of 2 scrambled eggs, toast, bacon, and grits. We like to add a little extra flavor by including cheese in our eggs and grits. The portions are generous, and we share a single waffle since it's already a substantial meal.I've explored various breakfast spots in Columbia, but Waffle House consistently delivers when seeking excellent service, cleanliness, affordability, and always delicious food. It has become our top choice for a satisfying breakfast experience.“

“This had to be one of the best experiences we've had. The restaurant was clean, the food good and the staff awesome! The head cook left his station to personally go to every table and great everyone and wish them a Merry Christmas. The way he presented himself, I thought he was the manager or owner! Kudos to this location.“
