“This place always serves consistently good food. Family owned and locally operated. You can't get a better hot dog in the area. All their food is great! Burgers, chicken sandwiches, etc. But my go-to are the two hot dog combo. Hot dogs with chili, cheese, coleslaw, mustard, ketchup. Mmmm mmm! Their fries and onion rings are also very very good.If you're looking for a quick bite and a friendly place to eat this is it.Kid-friendliness: Wonderful place to take your kiddos. We used to routinely take our boys after soccer games and would always see other kiddos eating there with their families.“

“My biggest complaint with this place is they don't have any real dishes and they don't have any real silverware. I just do not like to eat with a plastic fork on pieces of paper. So I probably will only go rarely. I think if I gotta take out it would be cold and unpleasant when I got to my destination. The menu has attractive options and they have first class employees perhaps the best I've seen in Lexington at similar restaurants.“

“While we visited South Carolina, we dined at the Lizard's Thicket. This restaurant has so much to offer: cleanliness, an inviting atmosphere, hospitality, and delicious food. We purchased two four-veggie plates, one meat and three plate, and a fried chicken sandwich. Everything was hot, fresh, plenty, and delicious. In fact, it was so delicious that I requested to compliment the cook, Jermaine, before we left the restaurant. Jermaine is not only a talented cook, but he is also incredibly hospitable to the customers. Also, we appreciated our particularly attentive young waiter, and the friendliness of the employees who work together at this restaurant. (They were especially grateful that we paid in cash!) Columbia is blessed to have such a fine restaurant in their city, and Lizard's Thicket is incredibly blessed to have Jermaine bringing the customers back for more satisfying dishes!“

“I worked here for many years and although I am not a fan of Mr. Robert Williams as he is mean to most of the staff, I am a fan of all the other Williams!! I do like the customers and I very much like the food! I must still give credit to the cleanliness of the restaurants and the quality of the food. The food is absolutely delicious! So I will not take away from that. My favorites are Flounder, macaroni and cheese, cabbage, collards, beef stew…. Oh! The salads are amazing with the fried chicken and egg! Omlets are good, don’t really like the bread anymore, that is probably because I ate it from the age of 16-30 haha. Nice friendly atmosphere from the customer perspective and good service! If you ever run into Mr. Matt Williams; He is one of the kindest people I ever met! John Williams too! They are wonderful people.I would suggest if you are looking for great service and food do go here… if you have the pleasure of being waited on by Gloria, Marilyn, April, or Genie…. You will truly get great service, and the food is always yummy!Cheers to Southern Food and a nice atmosphere to dine in, if you must get it to go, most locations have a drive through. Best Manager overall, “Dalton”.!Thanks for reading my review, and hope you decide to eat here, so that you know true Southern Food and Hospitality!Parking: Parking is A okay!Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly environment, not sure if they still provide the crayons and paper but I do believe so!Wheelchair accessibility: There is an easy way near the front door to have wheelchair access at each location.“

I called once I realized the mistake and Crystal (manager) was so polite and even asked ME how I wanted it to be handled. I completely understand how hectic it gets and sometimes things get mixed up. No biggie, I was able to go back and get my correct order with Crystals help. She even gave me a cookie. So with that being said…. 5 STARS.“

“Ribs had a nice, mildly sweet, smokey flavor . The ribs are not the most tender, they aren't smoked for long. Mash potatoes and gravy was tasty. Broccoli casserole is ok. They try way harder than most restaurants with the Mac and cheese. 3 sides, 4 bones of ribs, $15. And the plate is heavy! They're not stingy with portions. I will try their very affordable chicken baskets next time. Customer Service was good.“
