I did leave room for a warm and rich pecan pie that was topped with vanilla ice cream. Our servers Jaylon and Diana were very attentive and knowledgeable. Always kept our glasses full. There's some comments here on cleanliness, and I want to say that I am a very clean & ocd type of person. I found it to be exceptionally clean. From the moment we walked in, the staff treated us with that kind Southern hospitality. I highly recommend Fresh Chef! And do plan to come back.

We arrived at 6PM as a party of 6 for my mom's 98th birthday. Although they were very busy and…read morethere would have been a 30 minute wait indoors, it was a lovely evening and we opted to be seated outside on their patio, which was spacious and very comfortable. We were seated promptly by our waiter, TJ. My order, Asian Chicken wrap, was delicious, and was a very generous portion. I had truffle fries on the side, also delicious. Everyone agreed that their food was outstanding. TJ, our waiter, was a standout part of the experience. He was very personable, prompt, checking on our needs, refilling drinks, etc, even though his area had filled up very quickly and he had many tables to keep an eye on. No complaints on any aspect of this experience, and if you want the very best service, ask for TJ!

Oh not sure if the staff was having a bad day today, but unfortunately my husband and I did not…read morehave the best food at Backstreets at the Hickory location. For food, I ordered the fried pork chops with Mac and cheese and mashed potatoes (gravy on the side). While fried pork chops were tasty and well seasoned, the mashed potatoes had the perfect texture but lack any seasoning. Very very plain. Mac n cheese was a hard pass. I ate one noodle and quickly pushed the whole bowl to the side. I also had a margarita, usually a pretty easy drink to make. This one had a bit too much sour mix. My husband had the ribs with mashed sweet potatoes and parmesan French fries. The sweet potatoes and ribs were tasty but fries were a pass. Our server was very sweet and attentive. Overall, it was a mixed experience. Some parts were really good, others not so much. But don't let this review deter you from trying Backstreets as we love the Columbia location.

Greeted us quickly and made sure we had drinks ordered, bread and butter served- and the shrimp appetizer with cherry peppers. All came out and were crowd pleasers.

Thanks for a great dinner we appreciated the food and service lots!

Longhorn is one of our favorite lunchtime restaurants and we find the consistency of the food and…read morefriendly service to be exceptional. Today however we were terribly disappointed in both the food and the service. First we were sat at a terrible table, high traffic area, half booth half chairs. OK, we didn't complain although the room was not very crowded and we could have requested a different table. The hostess did not give us a lunch menu even though it was around noon, so we had to go up and ask for one. The server took our orders and returned with bread and our drinks. The food came out relatively quick but not as we ordered and the soup was cold. We explained it to the waitress and she went for the manager. We explained the issues to the manager and he didn't offer a suitable resolution. So we declined and left. This is untypical of this chain even amongst various locations. The staff seem to be new and inexperienced. Longhorn is a successful chain restaurant and we happily spend our money but expect quality food and professional service. It would not have hurt for the manager to apologize for the mistakes and promptly remove the incorrect order and offer to replace it and perhaps free of charge to keep long time customers satisfied. But not this time. I'm sure this was likely a one time happening, but if this happens again we will likely remove Longhorn from our choice of restaurants.

Today we stopped in for a quick lunch. Two of us shared the nacho plate with brisket, which was…read moreanother $4.99 on top of the price, and the other person ordered chili and salad. The nachos were not very good, the white melted cheese was salty and the amount of brisket on the chips was scant. We should have ordered the brisket sandwich or shared a rack of baby backs. The person that ordered the chili and salad di not like the chili at all. The atmosphere was nice and the music wasn't to loud. Service and wait times were in line with what we expected, actually the service was above average.

This is a fabulous all-around bbq restaurant that not only serves the ubiquitous Carolina pulled…read morepork, but brisket, chicken and ribs as well. The place is spotless, inside and out, and all the workers are super friendly and helpful. Order at the counter, take a number, grab your drinks, and sit. A waitress will bring your food and bus your dishes. We've tried a bunch of things, all so delicious. Chicken and pulled pork are so juicy and tender. The baby back ribs are slightly sticky, and fall off the bone with more meat than you usually see on them. The best, IMO, is the jalapeño cheddar sausage. Not very spicy (4 yo granddaughter loves it!) but a good strong jalapeño flavor with plenty of cheese. Lots of side dishes. The best is their baked mac & cheese. Their best sauce is the Carolina White. Their Carolina Mustard is good, but a wee bit on the sweet side. Today, I tried the Loaded Bbq Baker with pulled pork (see pic). I had read that it was large, but what was served to me was humongous. They literally took the biggest potato and added a 1/2 potato onto the end. It has butter, sour cream, cheese, real crispy bacon bits and green onions, topped with pulled pork and a side of BBQ sauce of your choice. I could barely eat half. It was delicious and everything I wanted and I got to take half home for dinner tonight. My grandson had (not pictured sorry) the mac & cheese bowl topped with pulled pork. I will definitely order that next time. I love their mac and it's more of a suitable portion. Lol I do wish we lived closer so we could eat here more often. It is definitely with the drive.

I ordered the lobster ravioli, which had a rich, creamy sauce and a nice lobster flavor, but unfortunately, our food arrived at the table cold, which definitely took away from the dish. For dessert, I had the cannoli cake, and it was easily a highlight of the meal. It was sweet, creamy, and decadent with that classic cannoli-inspired flavor, and the portion was perfect for finishing off an Italian dinner. Unfortunately, our table also hadn't been properly cleaned before we were seated, which wasn't a great first impression. The food itself had a lot of potential, but between the dirty table and our meals arriving cold, the experience fell short of what we expected.

This is a nice little spot seemingly in the middle of nowhere that has surprisingly good food. The waitress was kind and efficient. Plenty of parking, too. Our food was decent, but a few things were off or it would have been 4 stars. We started with fried mushrooms and Ranch dressing. The mushrooms were yummy, but the Ranch dressing was from a bottle. Homemade is so simple to make! Our entrees were chicken tenders with onion petals and Calabash shrimp with fries, coleslaw and hushpuppies. The shrimp were ok, not my favorite. They seemed too soft (as in they'd been frozen too long) and the fries were fine. The coleslaw tasted a bit "mildewy" to me, so I only took a tiny taste of that. It was a little off color too, so maybe old. The hushpuppies were good. I doubt we'll go back again. We were in the area for work, but next time will just drive back towards home.
