My boyfriend and I decided to come here because it was the only thing open. Do not come here. I ordered a chicken sandwich and it only came with pickles and the fries it came with I could of made better fries myself from home. read more

The food here is good and the staff is excellent and very curteous..However, it seems like for their high price food they could at least sell good buttered biscuits instead of their customarily cheap unflavored rolls..They could at least buttered the rolls.. read more

Had the pulled pork sandwich with fries. I was worried there was no sauce on the BBQ at first, but found it when I bit into it. It was delicious. Then I added the cole slaw on the sandwich and I just wanted to eat it for the rest of the week. It was so good. The fries were perfect and not soggy or overly greasy. BF had a chicken sandwich which seemed to be like something from Chicfila. Because other reviewers raved about the milkshakes, I asked for a chocolate cherry milkshake, which is a combination of 2 of their offered flavors. I was glad they were able to do a combo shake with no issue. It was DELICIOUS. It was the perfect thickness so you could easily suck it through a straw (unlike Cookout shakes if you know of these). We go through this area often on trips, so I'd definitely stop by again. read more

Been going to Rush's since college. An absolute must for any stop in Columbia for lunch! Food is very high quality, service is great. Beat milk shakes of all time! Great family atmosphere. Take a nostalgic dinner time ride straight back to the 70s! read more

Love this restaurant and anytime I am passing through Columbia, it's a must stop for me

We love the soft serve ice cream cones. We go through the drive thru occasionally and just get that. All the food is good. Double Chili Cheeseburger Basket is my favorite, but there's something about their soft serve ice cream that's just fantastic.... read more

Great food served fast. Everyone's food was fresh hot and great. You can go wrong here with anything. Great burgers, BBQ, Chicken Sandwich and milkshakes. read more

I am not really sure why this place has such great reviews. The food was okay. Hotdogs I make at home probably would taste just the same, if not better. I got the hot dog basket and the fries and cole slaw were gross. Left the place hungry. As a plus, Staff was nice and service was fast. read more

Rush's - Nasty fries and slaw - Burgers Near Me - Columbia, South Carolina

This location is FABULOUS! LaTeisha had the most positive and proactive attitude Very personable and I was blown away by her kindness

One of the 9 Rush's in the greater Columbia area, this location is on Garner's Ferry just East of I77. I think they say it well enough: Fabulous food, fast! read more

Rush's was great once upon a time now it's just. Another less than mid level fast food joint also the speakers are awful they used to advertise how great their speakers are somebody needs to get this group back on track read more

Went here for lunch, fast service, great food. I always get the hamburger basket and its more than enough to fill me up. Cleanliness of the place is great!! Love that they have a sweet little lady that walks around giving you refills. read more

I would give a lower review if I could. I paid $9 for a cheeseburger basket. They put just cheese and a patty between the two crappy buns that were falling apart. It was so sloppy I couldn't eat it. The fries were unsalted and tasted very old, they were cold. They tasted like they were taken out to thaw right before I got there. I ordered water and sprite and they somehow messed that up too. They also add literally five different types of taxes to really scam you. This place is trash. I've eaten here at several locations and could not be more disappointed. read more

I went to rushes in Camden just now and they where just rude and to busy playing to even pay attention to anything I asked for. I didn't get my drink and when I asked for honey mustard the girl just walked away and ignored me. I even asked for honey mustard at the drive threw and still did get it. read more

I came to rush's on a late night while in town. I ordered a cheeseburger basket. The wait for the food was really long...over ten minutes. I grew up in Columbia so I knew to be prepared for a long wait. Rush's is notorious for being slow but the food was good so I kept returning. I get my meal and realize they stop putting salt on fries here apparently. I don't usually get ketchup because a little salt on fries is my preference. If you come here ask for ketchup or salt because it's hard to eat the fries devoid of flavor. My burger was juicy and the bun moist just as good as it was in my teen years. Thanks for being consistent with the burger and maintaining the location well. Please find some salt, this is SC after all...people want salt on their fries here and if they don't they will tell you. read more

When I am backin SC i love RUSH'S slaw dogs, there is just no place to get a ho dog like that anywhere else in the US.

Love rush's! I'm from Kentucky and have never had it before until I moved down here. The burgers are great as are the fries and coleslaw but I will say the bun on the burger is always too big and falls apart. The chicken meals aren't as good but still my favorite place for fast food. Visit here regularly! read more

Okay it's a fast food chain. Not one I've tried before. Not bad. (We tend to like small local spots with REALLY good food.) My husband got chicken & I got a burger. Good spot for a quick bite when you want different things. Walk in or drive through. A cut above the big chains. read more

Since I was little lad, I've always come here. In the 20 odd years I can remember this place has always filled my belly perfectly. I can't ask for anything else in a fast food place. Their burgers, their chicken, their chicken sandwhiches, their bbq, and most amazingly their milkshakes. (I'm an Oreo in the family where the rest of the family is chocolate). I know I can't eat this food everyday but if there ever was a way that I could, I would. read more

The burgers were cheap tasting. The other fast food joints have them on burgers and fries.We only stop by here for some banana splits. Their deserts are very good. read more

Oh rushes how I love thee. Especially your cheeseburgers and the fact that you stay open late.

The fried chicken didn't wow me. Somewhat bland and no hot sauce. The Cole slaw was the best part of my meal which seems wrong. Drive thru never acknowledged me after sitting there forever, so I had to pull up to the window to order. I won't be coming back to this location. read more

Great quality fast food. Customer service is fantastic. I love their wings and milkshakes!

Had their fried chicken. Its good but costly for small pieces. Wish i had ordered the burger. Great ice tea

Good fast food. It's not like McDonald's and has more variety Cole slaw is okay and fries were crisp. Chicken was good no complaints

It's rare I get to consume a juicy homemade cheese burger. But this one was worth the calories and fat. Food was great for fast food...but the burger didn't taste slightly "fast food". Not to mention the restaurants team members were in sync and rocking. Pig out!! read more

We are on a vacation & decided to stop by here for a quick bite. Our lady waitress was very sweet. Service was quick and the burgers , fries , & slaw were pretty good. Although while we were leaving we saw next to our vehicle one of the men workers in a car with a other man , doing something NO ONE needs to see, esp my minor child !!! read more

Tried something different. Fast food. Ok. But nothing worth going out of your way for when traveling.

best fast food on the planet up for no debate. best burgers and hot dogs. milk shakes are great too. 10/10 would recommend

I really can't be unbiased about this place. My favorite burgers in the world. Go here.

I went here for a quick bite after running some errands at Lowe's. I am not from around here, so I did not know what to expect. Inside, the restaurant was very dated, but spotlessly clean. The person who took my order was very nice. I got a cheeseburger, fries, slaw, and an unsweet tea. Burger was large and very good. The place in general reminded me of Dan's Hamburgers in Austin, Texas--old school mom & pop fast food done right. Burger made up fresh, but I didn't have to wait long. Veggies were crisp and tasty, cheese melted, and beef was decent for a fast food place and price point. Fries were crispy. Slaw was very finely chopped and sweet, which is not really my thing, but it tasted pretty good with the fries. Tea was tea. My wife got an oreo milkshake, which tasted fine but was a little on the thin side. I will definitely come back here, I think my kids would love it. read more

I don't understand why this place has high ratings. The food is poorly made; about the only thing that tasted OK was the water. The food is about on par with McDonalds, but a little worse. I've made the mistake of coming twice ... never again! read more

We went here based on the mostly positive reviews to get a break from McDonald's. I really don't like giving negative reviews but it was terrible. The burgers tasted like frozen burgers you would get in a cafeteria. We could not even finish them. The fries were eh. The staff was friendly and quick to get our order. I would not recommend it. At least burger wise. read more

Sick as a dog from eating a chili-cheese burger basket with extra crispy fries. I was on my way out of town and needed something quick to eat and was starving. WHAT A MISTAKE IT WAS TO STOP BY RUSH'S! The burger was barely warm, the bun was cold and I guess the only reason the fries were hot was that they had to cook them again to make them extra crispy (because ever other time I have ever ordered fires there they were extra limp and soggy. I ate the burger even though it was barely warm (BIG MISTAKE) and within an hour I was sick as a dog - burping up nasty tasting burger, chili and slaw tastes in my mouth - 4 hours later I finally regurgitated after eating about 5 extra strength Tums and feeling like i was gonna die. I WILL NEVER SET FOOT in that nasty place again. Don't GO - it's not worth the risk. YUCK, YUCK and YUCK!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

The best fried chicken I have ever had, make mistakes sometimes but still a great place to eat. I am a regular customer.

I had never been here before and was just passing through Columbia for one night, but I was amused that it was called Rush's on account of how long it took to get my order. However, I know that happens sometimes and it sounds from other reviews like that is not the norm. The food was delicious. I had a 2-piece chicken dinner. The chicken was hot and delicious even when I got back to my hotel (I had a to-go order) and the fries were very good as well. I wish the to-go orders had some sort of lid or box-- the tray was just placed inside a paper bag, which got very greasy. The staff members were very pleasant and polite and the prices were very reasonable. read more

Excellent service. Cashiers always smiling and make you feel welcome. Food is always hot too.

This was my first visit to Rush's. As the name suggests the ordering and delivery process took all of 3-4 minutes. The counter person was pleasant. I ordered a plate with the chili cheese burger, fries, slaw and iced tea. The food arrived warm, as ordered and of reasonable proportions. The price was average for this type of restaurant. I found a seat and observed the area. I had noted the food prep area appeared to be clean and well organized and the dining room seemed likewise. My burger was properly cooked and generally tasty as were the fries. The tea and slaw left something to be desired. I'm not even sure how to describe the taste of the slaw other than to say I have never tasted anything like it and hope never to again. The tea was flavorless and had only a hint of sweetness. When compared to Pals or The Beacon, Rush's just doesn't stand a chance. Pals quality and taste are unmatched. For atmosphere, quantity and flavor nothing comes close to The Beacon. read more
