Nice bar just on the SW outskirts of Univ if South Carolina; basically across from Greek Village…read more Plenty of tv's, table and room for groups. Atmosphere is pub/sports bar type. 10 min walk from Assembly & Blossom. Food was pretty good; service friendly but pretty slow and lacking a bit. Had to ask multiple times for napkins and just a bit slow at times. Good place for good bar food and drinks, catch a game. Oh and the pizza looked delicious. Just set your service expectations a bit. Would honestly be like a 3.5

My frittata had a ton of mozzarella cheese which added no flavor but a ton of calories, one bite of the grit cake and it had very little taste but a lot of fat in it.

They seemed to have an extremely large and extensive selection of beers, so if you're a beer lover, this'll be the perfect place for you! My cocktail (vodka pineapple) wasn't great, but that's probably my fault for ordering a liquor drink at a beer garden, or biergarten. Surprisingly, my chicken tenders and fries were very good, and far exceeded my expectations! The bartender was also a really cool guy, very nice and friendly! All-in-all, this was a good trip to Republic Biergarten, and I'm excited to go back on a more lively night in the future!

I visited Old Chicago in Columbia, SC on Friday at approximately 4:30 PM with my wife and sister…read more Unfortunately, this was by far the worst experience we've had here, which was especially disappointing because we've visited multiple times in the past and always recommended this restaurant to others. When we arrived, we were told the pizza oven was down. That wasn't a huge issue, so I specifically asked our waitress if it would affect anything else on the menu. She initially told us it would not. After we were seated and ordered our appetizer, we were then informed that the Spinach & Artichoke Dip couldn't be made because the pizza oven was down. That directly contradicted what we had just been told. If other menu items were unavailable, we should have been informed before ordering. My wife ordered an Irish Mule, and it was poorly made. We've ordered drinks here before without any issues, so this was surprising and disappointing. I ordered the French Dip, and it was one of the worst I've ever been served. The sandwich arrived already completely soaked through with au jus, making the bread soggy and falling apart before I even picked it up. The au jus itself was unusually thick and slimy instead of being a light dipping sauce. The presentation looked rushed and careless, as if no attention had been paid to plating. The service only got worse from there. After our food was delivered, no one came back to check on us, ask how everything was, or offer refills. We eventually had to flag someone down just to get our check. I also think the wait staff could benefit from better training in professionalism and guest interaction. The overall service felt awkward and inattentive. What makes this experience even more disappointing is that my wife and I have always enjoyed coming here. We brought my sister because we genuinely believed she'd have a great experience based on our previous visits. Instead, it was honestly embarrassing. Being from New York City and Boston, we've eaten at plenty of restaurants, and this visit simply didn't meet even basic expectations. We spent $93.47, and unfortunately, it felt like money wasted. This wasn't just a mediocre meal--it was an experience that made me feel embarrassed for recommending the restaurant in the first place. I sincerely hope this was just an off day because Old Chicago has been a great establishment in the past. However, based on this visit, I can't recommend it until the food quality, communication, and service improve.

The smash burger had a wonderful cheese melt, it was flavorful, the haystack onions were delicious, and the brioche pulled it all together. The other toppings were fresh. I ordered the truffle fries to go along with the burger. Fries only come with a few of their dishes. I wish the portion size of fries was a little more than what you get for the price; nevertheless, they were cooked well and were very good fries. Their ranch was tasty also. The food was served hot.

I tried the street corn dip. Although, the portion felt a bit small for the price, the flavor was good. The street tacos come on corn tortillas, which were a little dry. I recommend asking for a lime wedge. A squeeze of lime made all the difference. There's plenty of seating for large groups, and we were seated quickly without any wait. Service was fantastic. Our server checked in often and made sure we had everything we needed. They also offer daily specials and a weekday Happy Hour from 4-7 PM. On Sundays, they serve brunch from 11 AM-3 PM and run football specials with beer buckets and pitchers. Overall, friendly service, good food, and a comfortable place to dine especially for groups.

Just so happen to pop into Taco Mundo on a whim, on a Thursday evening the first week of July…read more Not knowing what to expect after our original plans had to be abruptly re-routed, we figured you can't really go wrong with Margs & Tacos. Needless to say we hit the jackpot on this random whim. Upon entering the restaurant is so spacious with ample seating, we were immediately greeted and seated by staff. Our sever was Mariah C. and she was just as lovely and bubbly as can be. In a very enjoyable and genuine way not annoying at all. Please note if you think the margaritas are strong and you might be seeing double you are... Mariah is a twin and yes they both work there. It was a little chuckle we all shared when the Margs started to hit. We opted to get all shareable items... 1 Pitcher Casa Margarita 2 Mundo Wings (8) 1 El Mundo Salad Grilled Shrimp 1 Street Taco Chicken (3) 1 Guacamole Both my sister and I, enjoyed everything we ordered. The margaritas were perfect and both the salsa and the guacamole were a hit. The wings were both well seasoned and cooked to perfection. A good wing can always stand alone without any sauces and the Mundo Wings did just that. The El Mundo Salad with grilled Shrimp was lite and refreshing yet very filling. We shared it because we both wanted to try a few items, but acknowledged we could've order the salad and been satisfied. The only items that needed a little extra love was the street tacos, however a little salsa and hot-sauce helped elevate the flavor profile for us. To be honest the food and service was great but what made Taco Mundo a hit and a spot both my sister and I said is must on my next visit was Ida/Ayda (I forgot to ask the correct spelling of her name). Needless to say she was amazing, as a fellow NYer we just clicked and she really spoke our "same language". It was so refreshing to come across someone so cool and relatable. We really enjoyed our experience at Taco Mundo. Just A Note: The Casa Margarita Pitchers are $18 for Thirsty Thursdays.

My friends and I went during the NCAA Basketball Tournament, hoping to be able to watch all of the games at once. However, rather than having any of the basketball games on, they literally had a replay of an NFL game, a volleyball game, a TV that had timed out, and some kind of documentary on the other TV. When we asked our server if they could put the games on, we were told that they were unable to change the channels on the TV, as it was some kind of streaming service. Furthermore, we placed an order for drinks, and after sitting there for about fifteen minutes (15) minutes, got up and left after not seeing our waitress after that. If I were simply judging by this experience, I would have given The Yard negative stars if possible. However, my friends and I returned to The Yard to watch the NCAA Women's Basketball National Championship, and had a much better experience. It seemed that they were able to get the TV situation worked out, and we were actually able to get drinks this time. I know that this is the bare minimum for a sports bar, but they did show marked improvement from the first time that we went there. Our server, the bartender, and the hostess were all very nice, and I really liked the interesting sports regalia that was hanging on the walls. Overall, I'm going to give The Yard a generous three (3) stars, mainly considering the context in which my experiences took place. I hope that my first visit was simply a matter of needing to work the kinks out, and that future visits will be more in line with how my second visit went. I've yet to try their food, so I'll probably come back at least one more time, which'll serve as the tiebreaker as to whether The Yard is a worthwhile stop or not.
