I went 2 weeks in a row, the first weekend was for my birthday brunch and the second was for a friend's birthday. Let's start with my birthday weekend- I made a reservation and was sat promptly for my birthday brunch. The restaurant had music playing and the decor was nice. It took awhile for the server to come to the table and take our order. Once placed we didn't see her again. My party flagged down whoever was passing at the time for assistance. Once the food came out, it was COLD. I don't recall how long it took to come out, but by the time it did, I just ate it. It was well seasoned though. The DJ was the best part of the entire day and the reason why I gave 2 stars. I even went and gave him props. My friend's birthday weekend- I swore that I wouldn't return back, but I went the following weekend to celebrate a friend and it was a repeat of service and food. My friends ordered a hookah and it took almost 2 hours for them to get it. I work in the service industry and understand that at times it gets busy, but 2 weeks in a row with the same service, I can assure you I'll never step foot in that establishment again. read more

Food, drinks and service is great! Music and vibe was great for Sunday brunch! Highly recommend

If you're dining after 7pm you must be 30 yrs old for men. There is tight security at the door. The music is loud and there is definitely a vibe. The food is well seasoned and nice portion sizes. There are several servers so the wait to place an order wasn't long. They offer hookah and there is a full bar. I would visit again. read more

Room Service Bistro - Shrimp Poboy - New American Near Me - Columbia, South Carolina

I almost past this location trying to find it. It's located in a shopping mall area. We went to celebrate my cousins birthday. The service was quick and they had a really nice vibe going. I ordered the Strawberry Chicken and Waffles, it was so good with a pineapple mimosa. I enjoyed my food and the music and the hookah! Would definitely go back again if in the area and time permits. read more

Room Service Bistro - New American Near Me - Columbia, South Carolina

Went for a Sunday brunch. This was my first time and like they say, first impressions are everything! With that being said, I probably won't return here. The food was ok, the hookah was ok, the mimosas were ok. The whole experience would've been just an ok experience if the service weren't so terrible. The entire service staff seemed as if they were called to serve jury duty instead of coming to work. Our server was very curt with her service, cutting off our questions with her answers and visibly showing her annoyance with us ordering. I'm not a stickler for customer service as I've been in the food service industry myself, but my goodness my whole party just felt unwelcome and frankly turned off. At one point we were trying to wave her down to order for a good 10 minutes, during which she was eating food, playing with her phone and even looking dead at us waving her down and walking away. It was comical! We still left a tip because we're nice people, but the service was really giving NO TIP! Please hire staff who care in the future, your Sunday brunch might actually have people show up then instead of being half empty. read more

Room Service Bistro - Bar Area - New American Near Me - Columbia, South Carolina

I thought I reviewed this place on my first visit, however, I see that was not the case. Parking is not too bad although it appears to be at first glance. You must have your ID on you which they check at the door. Seating is interesting and there may be a wait but they have reservations available via Yelp otherwise I suggest to arrive early. The music is extremely loud for no reason at all. On both visits, we had to scream to the waitress and across the table if we wanted to have a conversation. The mimosas are trash. There's so much juice and it taste like cheap juice. Extremely tangy orange juice is used for all mimosas even if they say "flavor". On our first visit they did carafes which I liked and that mimosas experience was better than the second time. The second time, they did away with the carafes and now they provide these mimosa towers which I am not a fan. They don't look like they are cleaned properly with residue inside them and stains at the base. Also, they are over juiced with a thick tangy orange juice. The food is good. Well at least the chicken and waffles. My friends said the shrimp and grits are tasty as well and they are spicy. The chicken wings are small but when I requested fried extra hard they seemed like they were fried well and hot which I liked. The waffle have a great taste and crisp. I wish they provided warm syrup but the food is served hot so it works. It would be nice to have a little more variety than just ordering from the limited brunch menu. My friend ordered the omelette minus bacon and they provided her with the picture omelette which I thought was hilarious. They fixed it though but still someone was sleeping on the job or something. Still funny to me. The food is pretty good though so it's worth a try. Not the place for mimosas though and their drinks are priced so high. read more

Definitely a VIBE!!! Sunday brunch are a must!! Food and service are always on point!! read more

2nd visit for brunch and the food was still just as good as my first visit. The music was not as obnoxiously loud this time which made the meal even better. The waffle was really tasty, could've been thicker but it was still delicious made with fresh blueberries. The fried chicken was seasoned well and crispy. My friends also had other dishes and were satisfied with how their food tasted as well. The service was also good. This is more of a lounge type atmosphere so be prepared for music and dancing. read more

A good time I had here at room service. Came in on a Sunday for brunch and I must say my section turned up. The service and food was phenomenal. I enjoyed the chicken and French toast. We had 2 towers of the strawberry mimosa, we popped a bottle of patron, the hookah had me coughing but that's because I don't usually smoke hookah I was just lit lol. The dj was on point with the good music to go along. And I will be returning keep up the good vibes. read more

This restaurant was on point, our waitress Ebony was great and very attentive to our table. We went on a Sunday for brunch we had a reservation so walked right in and was seated. We were ID'd at the door and metal detector wanded by security my 17yr old was allowed in because I was there and she had to wear a wristband showing she was underage and wouldn't be drinking. All of our food was tasty and delicious the ambiance was great, music was playing and atmosphere gave off good vibes. read more

Room Service Bistro - Salmon and Grits - New American Near Me - Columbia, South Carolina

The food was amazing especially the salmon and grits!!! The music was turnt and the atmosphere was just where it needed to be

I am really not sure what to say about this place. For the first time I am actually speechless. It was just hit and miss all over the place. OMG. For starters, we were patted down, wanded, and bag checked by security at the door. Definitely not a place I need to be if that has to happen. But it did feel safe until around 10 pm. We left but you could feel the alcohol starting to kick in and the environment start to change. So the place is a mix between a club, a restaurant, bar, and hooka lounge. Suprisiingly, the food was not bad and didn't take too long to come out. The egg rolls were delicious but the mixed drinks were horrible The wings were a joke. If you have to serve wings that small, don't serve them at all. It was a joke how small they were. Lastly, our hostess was great until the very end. It took 30 minutes to get our tab after requesting it. The DJ was ok, if you like hard rap with a lot of cussing. Cool place for the younger crowd but probably a one timer for me. read more

Ghetto fabulous ... as the saying goes "You can take the girl out the hood, but you can't take the hood out the ghetto..." After months of hearing everyone rant on about this shack I decided to try it... When we walked in it's a sign that read PLEASE WAIT TO BE SEATED, the bartender yelled out "YALL SIT ANYWHERE!" The waitress walked over and said "SCAN THE CODE!" Then went behind the bar to play with her associates. She brought us out drinks (Sprite) in a PAPER CUP ... she refilled mines 3xs and said nothing about no free refills she charged us 2 damn dollars each round! The food was brought out in baskets as if they don't know what the hell plates or utensils are! I felt like I was at a cookout or something! The onion rings were over fried and hard as a brick ! The fries had tooooooo much salt on them and the rest was just down hill.. Maybe try this place when you're drunk and just wanna be out socializing on a weekend! read more

Food is good, great music, also have good happy hour deals. it's just small but it's definitely a vibe!!

The food was absolutely delicious! I had salmon, grits and eggs cooked to perfection! Our waitress was very detailed in advising how our food could be served- each item separately or all items combined. The establishment was very clean. It was our misfortune that we did not have reservations and sat at the bar under an EXTREMELY COLD A/C SYSTEM. Marlene B read more

Came here with my girlfriend and immediately got shaken up by how loud the music was from the DJ. Throughout the whole brunch I couldn't hear my girlfriend speaking right next to me. We even had to start yelling in order to hear each other and keep conversations. The music was so loud and the speakers were so close to the tables that you damn near felt the vibrations. Great music choices however it would've been better if turned down a handful of notches. The decor was nice and modern with an urban touch. The server was polite and prompt with our requests. I ordered the Steak and Eggs and a side of grits w/cheese. The steak strips were the best item on the plate. The eggs were alright but lacked seasoning. The grits w/cheese weren't anything special either ; I found myself shaking a heavy amount of black pepper and salt on the top to taste anything. We also ordered the blueberry and strawberry mimosas. They were alright but we couldn't tell the difference between the two flavors and the drinks were watered down. Overall if you want a nice vibe with your friends or partner , I'd give it a try. This place has potential. read more

a MUST have. I've been told to try the egg rolls and I wasn't disappointed. The Lamb chops read more

This is my spot here. The vibe is good on Friday and Saturday and the food is pretty good. The con of this place is to watch all the servers. They will walk up to you and put the little machine in your face to swipe your card for the bill not telling you they already put a $60-$70 tip on your bill. Don't believe me? Next time you go there ask to see the paper bill and watch how much money they tried to add to your bill. They think it's cool and hoping everyone is drunk. I've been there 20+ times and they tried it every time read more

My husband and I were headed to the State Fair; however, the lines were extremely long and the traffic was horrendous. We opted to stop here for something to eat and then head back home. The atmosphere was nice. We tried the paradise drink that was good. For appetizers we tried the Soul roll and Philly cheesesteak roll and both were pretty tasty. Our entrees consisted of Lamb chops with mashed potatoes and Salmon with broccoli. Both were delicious! I do recommend it. read more

If you like unpleasant surprises, this is the spot for you! Before my 70-minute drive to this restaurant, I reviewed their website . As I came closer, I placed myself on the waitlist via Yelp to secure a place in line. When I arrived and attempted to check-in, I was refused entry due to my platform Crocs. I did not want to cause a scene so I quietly asked to speak with a manager. To say that this is supposed to be an "upscale" establishment, the manager came outside wearing what most would consider street wear. When I asked about the no Crocs policy not being posted and no dress code being posted on their site, her response was "It's posted on our door." She proceeded to also say that no athletic wear, sneakers or slides are permitted. Mind you, a party had just left who clearly violated the dress code. When I questioned how someone w/ slides and another w/ sandals were permitted entry, the story then changes to footwear needing to have a strap and no gum bottoms. At that moment, I politely walked off (my Crocs have a gotdamn strap AKA Sport Mode). I hate that I had this experience. I'm an AVID supporter of new businesses in the state--especially when Black and/or veteran-owned. I want us to succeed! Words of advice to the owners and staff: TIGHTEN UP!! Update your site w/ clear restrictions so people are not surprised on arrival. read more

So I wandered outside of Charlotte and headed to Columbia to help my friends since pre-k celebrate their birthdays. From the outside the place may seem a little off but I assure you once you're inside it is NICE!! We went for Sunday brunch and mimosas. We of course ordered the tower of strawberry mimosas and it did not disappoint. I'm always curious about chicken and waffles ( yes everywhere I go I order this). The chicken wings were hot and seasoned to perfection, the waffle was just right (not to hard not to soft). The DJ had people singing along and dancing which says a lot. If you enjoy hookahs they had those as well. That part I wasn't too impressed with but hey mimosas, lifelong friends and great food I won't complain. So if you're headed to Columbia SC and you enjoy great food great music great drinks and oh I can't forget the staff stop by here and check it out for yourself. Thanks Room Service for delivering a wonderful end to a celebration and weekend. read more

Please Go!!! The food is amazing, the place is lit, not to mention the place is lit and again, the place is lit fire

Great vibe always a good time. The music hookah and drinks be on point. It's a great go to spot any time of the week!

Food was good. Had the salmon w/grits. Everything was seasoned and cooked very well. The waitress was very attentive. Only con was that we went to brunch on Saturday, and they do not offer margarita towers/crafts during brunch. And you can not get a tower with a party of 2. read more

Food was pleasant! Service was excellent. But do be prepared for a minor wait if they're busy. Drinks were awesome. Recommended if you like to vibe and eat drinks with loud music. read more

I forgot to take a picture of my food but it was DELICIOUS! Yesterday was my first time eating here but definitely not my last. Let me start by saying, this place was PACKED. I walked to the door and was told by security I couldn't go in until ppl left out. I told him I just wanted to do a to go order and I didn't want to eat in. The owner happened to be standing outside and intervened ( I was/am so grateful). Ppl came out and he walked me to order my food. My food came out very promptly and it was still good and hot when I got home (about 15 min). Now, let me tell y'all about the Philly cheesesteak egg rolls!!! I was mad I didn't get TWO ORDERS! They were amazing! I also got the sweet chilli wings. They were good BUT...ummm those egg rolls!!! They were EVERYTHING! read more

Takes too long to serve and it was in the daytime around noon. So I'm sure at night when it converts into a night club; the wait could be an hour easily. read more
