“We celebrated our daughter’s 40th birthday and it was enjoyable for all. We had friends of all ages and everyone had a wonderful time. The children were welcomed and it is truly family friendly. The food was great and the service was even better. Dan went above and beyond and we thank him for making LeeAnn’s birthday so special.“

“Bone Appetite is an outstanding addition to the Lexington, SC culinary experience. The restaurant changes the menu on a weekly basis so the experience is always fresh. I look for two things in a steakhouse/seafood restaurant. Can they cook the steak and seafood properly. Does the service match the rest of the culinary experience. Bone Appetite does both. I ordered a medium rare New York Strip with Shrimp. The cook on the steak and the seafood was perfect. My wife had Grilled Salmon and loved it. The sides were Sweet Potato fries and a rice pilaf with a spicy sausage and crawdad addition. The rice was a refreshing interpretation of Cajun cuisine and went well with the steak. Our server (Ashley) was attentive, cordial and professional. The atmosphere is an upscale casual with 70's music playing in the background. I talked at length with both Ashley and the owner (Justin) and was impressed with their knowledge and experience. Justin makes it a habit to come out on the dining floor and talk with his patrons. I left there having made a new friend. I will definitely be returning. I highly recommend Bone Appetite to anyone looking for a good steak and or seafood.“

“They have consistent and delicious food with gluten free options. Best tacos in Columbia.“

“Tucked along the scenic banks of the Congaree River in Columbia, SC, Bierkeller Brewing Company is an absolute gem if you’re looking for a quiet, relaxing brewery experience with great beer, food, and service. The brewery sits right by the Three Rivers Greenway, offering stunning riverside views and a huge, well-designed outdoor biergarten that feels peaceful and open, even on busy days. It’s dog-friendly, family-friendly, and has plenty of shade and seating—perfect for everything from a solo afternoon beer to a group gathering.

The beer is excellent—crisp, clean German-style lagers brewed with serious attention to tradition. Every pour tastes fresh and balanced, and the variety is enough to keep both casual drinkers and beer lovers happy. The food pairs beautifully with the beer: soft pretzels, bratwurst, schnitzel sandwiches, and rotating specials that keep the menu interesting without being overwhelming.

Service is friendly, fast, and laid-back. The bartenders and servers are knowledgeable and happy to talk through the beer selection or offer samples. Best of all, the vibe here is calm. Even with live music or trivia nights, the volume stays manageable, and you never feel rushed or crowded.

Bierkeller has become a go-to spot for relaxing by the river with a great pint in hand. Highly recommend!“
