    After years and years if hearing bout this chain as well as their constant commercials.... I finally got to try one out. Passed up on the Waffle House, so I was expecting something at least decent when I came here after a night of drinking at the five points downtown. I needed some tasty junk food to soak up the fun juice my belly. The place is huge so it can to handle the large amount of cars that can pull in. We came around 330am so the drive thru was the only portion open at the time. Got the #7 which was your choice of 2 dogs, a side, and a drink all for under $8!! Chose the Coney w/ onions, Chicago, Tots (couldn't pass these up!!), and a diet soda. After hearing all the rave, I probably should have tried one of their crazy drinks combos, but I'm a simple guy when it cone to drinks so whatever. Thhe food is fast, cheap, and tasty! Nothing over the top about it, large portions for the price. Tater tots were crispy without being super greasy, and the dogs were decent in size and topping, The Chicago dog didn't have the sesame bun or celery salt, but the late night drunken hungers means I don't really care. I would come back for a snack or something, it would a been cool to do the bell hop thing cause it doesn't really exist back in Cali.

    The wait time is a bit long but the drinks are ok. The burgers are really good. The area doesn't look very nice, looks a bit scary.

    Manager takes food back out of the trash and serves it. The food is overpriced for the quality anyway.

    As I rolled into Columbia right around dinner time, I figured it was wise to dodge the worst of…read morerush hour by detouring through the city. That gave me the perfect excuse to finally stop at Zesto--thanks to everyone who's nudged me toward it. Your recommendations were spot on. I ordered a fried chicken dinner at the window, though the handoff system was a bit of a mystery. After paying, I wandered into the dining room and found a seat. A few minutes later, the food arrived--no buzzer, no shout, just a quiet drop-off--and I was ready to dig in. The chicken was fresh from the fryer, piping hot, and fully cooked through. Not spicy, but flavorful and juicy in all the right ways. I polished off every piece with enthusiasm, leaving only the dinner roll untouched. The two little tubs of cole slaw didn't stand a chance either--crisp, creamy, and gone before I knew it. I did linger a moment, debating the chocolate-dipped ice cream cone that Zesto's known for, but tonight wasn't the night. Maybe next time, when I'm not so full or so close to a food coma.

    Only took me 42 years but my son and I finally had Zesto's for dinner. OMG what an experience…read more Chaotic when you order food but the staff has this down to a art when it comes to customer service. When we got our food I did not expect such large portions of food. The chicken is so good and delicious. I honestly don't have an excuse as to why Im a SC native and never been to Zesto's...please visit when you can. Enjoy!

    It was an experience - some good, some bad…read more They do things a little different here. You wait to order in an indoor/covered outdoor line. They don't have a set menu but what's available that day is posted in a couple of places, while you wait to order. They mark out things as they run out. I arrived just after 1 pm and there was already no more dessert. Not cool. Seating is odd and limited. Great for groups of 6 but horrible for 1-4 people unless you want to eat with strangers. Indoor has AC and outdoor is upstairs with narrow tables and it's stupid hot even with 2 fans. To order, you request your meat then slide down and order sides and desserts. They put it on a tray then you order drinks and pay. A tip was requested at checkout. A staff member did check on me 2 times for drink refills. Unfortunately it's clear you are to bus your table. Everything I ordered was really good and really expensive. Brace yourself...$33 for one person. I requested "a pound of ribs" which equaled to 2 ribs and was priced according to weight -$14.40. Good flavor and sauce but not very meaty. It's good that the smallest sides ARE large enough for 2 to share. There were no smaller single portion options, so I enjoyed the $6 cornbread pudding, $5 collard greens, a good sized $2 piece of cornbread - you get to choose center or side/corner - and a $3 sweet tea. Read that again: $14.40 for 2 ribs and $16 for 2 sides, bread and a drink. Overall good food but stupid expensive and unwelcome seating options. Posted hours: Saturday 12-5 and Sunday 12-3. Closed Monday to Friday.

Customer service was excellent. They were friendly and provided consistently great service. The smash burger was on point. 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.
