Came with a nice cooling dill sauce that was so delicious. Took a star away cuz it was super salty but luckily saved by the dill sauce and water. Fried catfish: 4 stars. one of the best batter for fried fish. The batter on top was think and crispy and light so you couldn't taste the oils. Wish they split into 2 or three pieces instead of the jug piece. Because the piece was thick and big the bottom was soggy so minus the one star.

Lately the service has been great, but the food has been falling short. Over the last three visits, food has not been up to par. One dish, the rice was cold, the next the chicken was cooked to death. This last meal left me looking at the plate wondering where the rest of my meal was. Over seasoning has been a problem. I will say, the chef here has talent. I'm not sure what's going on, but we are going to give this restaurant a break for a while.

The crust was thin it wasn't heavy on the sauce or cheese, but the flavor was robust to say the least! The wings were equally as good. Sauced just right and piping hot! The service was amazing, informative and efficient. The ambiance is cute. There's nothing better than wings and pizza! We will definitely be back!

After waiting in line for close to ten minutes I was finally greeted and place my order. The food is made fresh so be prepared to wait. I sat at the bar and had a drink, which was pretty good. I was already made aware that the establishment was a smalll business but dine in is available. It is located in a plaza so there is plenty of parking. I ordered the boom chicken Eggroll (my favorite) the salmon Eggroll (my second favorite) the chicken Philly Eggroll and sweet and spicy wings. The eggrolls are really great sizes and comes with dipping sauce. They are priced reasonably with plenty to choose from. I would dine agdin and recommend. Great service and concept.

I got the waygu burger and it was cooked PERFECTLY, seasoned amazing, the truffle fries were crispy and flavorful, the homemade ranch was some of the best I had, and I honestly loved their smoked ketchup! The place would be even better during the hot months due to their outside seating, so can't wait to try.

I chose Market on Main for our graduation lunch and was a bit surprised by their strict…read morecancellation policy -- $15 per person for cancellations made within 24 hours or for no-shows. The food was pretty good overall, but my chicken salad sandwich was extremely disappointing. The croissant was very dry, and the shredded chicken combined with the consistency of the dressing was not at all what I expected. After only a couple bites, I left the entire sandwich untouched. What was even more disappointing was that when our waitress brought the bill, she clearly noticed I hadn't eaten the sandwich and chose not to ask about it. At this price point for lunch, I would have expected the situation to be handled a little differently. We sat in the covered outdoor area, which was nice, but there's also an uncovered outdoor section with older picnic tables that don't really match the vibe of a more upscale lunch spot. If you plan to sit outside, I'd recommend making your seating preference clear when booking.

Theres seated my both inside and outside and the vibes are great. I've heard that their food is always great and you can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Though I couldn't remember what I got last time I decided to go with something totally different and try the flounder wrap which was simple but out of this world! Soooo good, and with my wrap I did the truffle fries with a side of ranch and blue cheese. Everything was a hit and our server too was great. 10/10 great find for Columbia! Oh and I almost forgot, the peanut butter pie slice was like eating a big snickers the perfect amount of peanut butter, chocolate and crunch! It was phenomenal- so rich.

The only downside about my born day is the close proximity to Valentine's day. Which can sometimes make the planning around the commercialized love day tricky... especially when it comes to restaurant reservations.... Womp womp. Backstreets Grill said they could accommodate a party of 8. They were clearly busy and with our party size we could understand. Nonetheless, we had a very loonnngggg wait, which was frustrating and deflating. We waited 4x the time the young ladies initially told us upon arrival. However, once we were finally seated things started to turn around slightly. I say slightly because we were seated on the enclosed patio, with a portable heater but several people were cold. Just to think they kept asking us and others if we wanted to sit outside. (It's February @ night). Now the food: Some of the dishes were more favorable than others and I must admit all of my personal choices were great. Appetizers: -Mussels - White Wine (My Order) -Fried Oysters (I tried) -Sesame Crusted Ahi Tuna -Lump Crab Dip (I tried) -Tomato Parmesan Soup (My Order) -Side House & Caesar Salads (I tried) I personally had the Mussels, which were perfect, and the tomato parmesan soup and both made you want to lick the bowl. The broths were so good. I tried the fried oysters, they were also very good, but the presentation was a little messy. The Lump Crab Dip and the Sesame Crusted Ahi Tuna completely fell short and were not memorable at all and both of the side salads were sad. Entrées: -Cajun Chicken Pasta w/ Blackened Shrimp (My order) -Buffalo Chicken Pizza (I tried) -House-made Meatloaf w/ mashed potatoes & vegetables -Pork-chop w/ mashed potatoes & green beans -Chicken Bacon Ranch Quesadilla w/ Fries -Ribeye w/ Truffle Parmesan Fries My sister and I both ordered the Cajun Chicken pasta, I added the blackened shrimp to my order, we were both extremely happy. The dish was not spicy but it was well balanced. The recipients of the Meatloaf, Buffalo Chicken Pizza and the Quesadilla were all also pleased with their dishes. The folks that ordered the ribeye and the two pork-chops were not impressed... the dishes were just ok. Our server Adrian, was pleasant, but you can tell he was very overwhelmed which sometimes didn't translate well. As the night went on we understood he was being pulled in multiple directions at once and he did good despite of it. Overall I enjoyed my celebration and experience @ Backstreets Grill. Just A Note: I notice that they can get busy so be ready to wait. Even smaller parties were forced to stretch their patience.

The cocktails were the star of the night - ranging from $11 to $13 - both their classics and house creations were well balanced and worth trying. Table service was provided with attentive wait staff who weren't overbearing. The only miss for the night was the food. While certain items like the fries and the Brussels sprouts were great, other items like the burger and duck tacos didn't hit the mark with a burger that was too dry and overly charred and the tacos which were too gamey and could have used a some more acid. For a drink I'd certainly visit again, but would likely pass on food.

Although they have some appealing burger offerings, I ordered the build-your-own. You choose your meat, cheese, toppings, and bun. 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 was so pleased with our experience.

Grill Marks Review…read more Walking into Mark's Grill, I was immediately impressed by the welcoming atmosphere. They offer both indoor seating and a nice outdoor patio. The restaurant was a bit busy when I arrived, and I was asked if sitting at the bar was okay, which I didn't mind at all. As soon as I sat down, the bartender greeted me and took my order right away. excellent service from the start. He was very outgoing and friendly. When the seat next to me opened up, he immediately cleaned the area, which was great to see, especially during a busy time. The place overall felt very clean and well maintained. I ordered the Smokehouse Burger with fries. While waiting, the bartender consistently checked on me and kept my drink refilled, which I really appreciated. He even came back to let me know that the food was taking a little longer than usual since they weren't expecting it to be that busy. I completely understood and enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere while waiting. The food arrived in about 24 minutes and looked fantastic. The burger was cooked exactly how I asked which was well done and tasted great. I upgraded my fries to the bleu pimiento fries, and they were absolutely delicious. Everything was spot on. After lunch, I ordered a Cookies & Cream dirt shake, and it was amazing. The presentation was fun, and you could tell care went into how it was made. They also have a full bar with a good selection of alcohol, although I didn't order any drinks this visit. I spent about $36.00 total including tip. Overall, my experience at Mark's Grill was excellent. Great food, outstanding service, and a clean, welcoming environment. 5/5 -- I'll definitely be back.

The vibe here is dive bar but the beer selection is solid. You'd find a solid selection of craft brews. They do a daily burger special which I went with this trip and was a 9/10 burger idea and was well executed. When it comes to the fries they have BOTH regular and sweet potato fries which instead of ketchup you'd use the signature Jack Browns sauce which reminds me of Mac sauce. The sauce alone is worth the hype and they put a giant bottle on your table when you sit down so they intend on you using it religiously. All in all Jack Brown's makes a great burger and when you put it all together this is a great spot to go for craft brews, interesting burger ideas, and a good spot to chill.
