Zero flavor whatsoever, and I wish I were exaggerating. The grits were flavorless slop, and both fish fillets tasted like solidified water.

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.

I usually switch it up depending if I want french fries or if I want hush puppies both are delicious. The wings are delicious. Everything is delicious.

We were in the mood for some wings and didn't think we could do any better tee r than this place. Upon entrance, the restaurant was packed with people but there was no delay in getting seated. Our server was very patience since the menu did seem quite overwhelming, despite knowing we wanted wings. For starters, we tried the firecracker shrimp. The shrimp were delicious which left me longninf for more. They come in a small portion so don't expect to be able to share with more than two people. I opted for a 12 piece, bone-in wings split between the Gamecock and Spicy Parmesan. Both flavors were delicious. The wings were massive and I actually couldn't even finish the meal. This place has some incredible wings with many flavors, plenty of tvs to watch any sport, and seems to get busy so it has a great atmosphere. It took me way too long to try the gold standard of wings in Columbia, but it won't be the last.

We ordered the…read morethree piece chicken special, a chicken breast with water, a two piece chicken special and another separate chicken breast with a salad. Service quick, Chicken excellent (crispy yet moist), Crinkle fries were good and a great cole slaw (Sweet, similar to KFC but different). Always a great experience if you get there before the crowd. Definitely one of the top three chicken places in the Cola and surrounding areas! Probably #1 or #2 in most peoples polls.

I'm not sure what sparked the craving, but as I passed through Columbia at lunchtime, fried chicken…read moresuddenly seemed like the only answer. I asked Yelp for the highest‑rated spot and ended up here. The place was bustling, with most of the parking lot full, yet the ordering process moved quickly. By the time I returned from the restroom, my number was already being called. I had ordered a three‑piece meal with double cole slaw in place of fries and a sweet tea. Settling in at a table, I dug in. The cole slaw leaned too far on the sweet side for my taste, though the texture was crisp and fresh. I skipped the dinner roll and the tea, focusing instead on the chicken. It was thoroughly cooked, meaty, and satisfying. Not especially spicy or bold in flavor, but solidly good. This isn't a fancy establishment. The tables and floor may not be spotless, but the food delivers. Best fried chicken I've ever had? No. Still, it was very good, and worth the stop.

I was still like "we'll see about that". Parking wasn't too bad. Being that it's on the perimeter of Columbia Mall or what was Columbia Mall, there's parking surrounding the business. It wasn't too packed which was great. We walked in and sat ourselves at a table. The waitress came over and greeted us within a few minutes. I believe they have happy hour in the price of $3 for their house liquors. The drinks are made well. The menu had a bit of a variety and it was hard for me to choose what I wanted because everything seemed like it would be tasty. After placing an order, the salads came out within 10-15 minutes, then the appetizer and right after the entrées. The food was hot. I ordered the egg rolls and the sweet and spicy wings. I wish the appetizer, which were the egg rolls, would have came out sooner as they were warm than hot, but they were good and came with a specialty sauce. It had a light kick but was tasty. The wings were good and hot. The sweet and spicy sauce had a good taste. I wish they were crispier as I requested. The fries were so good! Hot and seasoned well. The salads looked great as well but I did not have those. Their chicken club sandwich looked good as well and my sister said it was delicious!

I ordered the steak fries , because they are hand cut, but to be honest, I wasn't impressed. They were slightly undercooked and not crispy. They were dark, so I suspect they just need to change the oil to more accurately gauge the doneness of the fries. Another customer kept ordering this and it looked so pretty! I decided to try it and, honestly, I'm OBSESSED! It's not as sickening sweet as I expected. It's fruity, but sour, with a an aftertaste of gin. I would love to try this with Hendricks or Roku, I think it would level up the flavors. But this was made with tanqueray. Still, I HIGHLY recommend this unique cocktail.
