I enjoyed mr friendly's although I thought the service was slow and the food was good but overpriced. Crab cakes and garlic mash with veggies was great but I was half drunk which may have made the food seem better and the service seem slower. Certainly worth a visit in Columbia Greta for a drink with buddies or sit outside... More

This place was very busy for a midweek lunch, not surprising since it is all very good. I was lunching with friends and everything was excellent. Nice easy atmosphere, efficient service, excellent food. I had soft shell crab ( a first for me) and it was lovely. One of our group had pork loin, a huge piece of meat which... More

We had reservations, which I recommend. Place was busy, but we were seated promptly. We all shared a fried shrimp appetizer which was excellent. My wife had the vegetarian plate and she really liked it. I had one of the specials - BBQ on hoe cakes which was unbelievably good. Excellent service. One of Columbia's better restaurants. We will go... More

Ate here with co-workers on a business trip to Columbia, South Carolina. We opted to sit outside on a beautiful evening. Outside dining leaves a little to be desired as it is adjacent to the parking lots, so constant traffic and cars, there are not many outside tables. We started with Fried Green Tomatoes. Not sure I get it. Just... More

We had recently received a gift certificate for this restaurant and didn't know what to expect. We did review the dinner menu online before arriving and thought we could identify something that we liked without any trouble. We arrived about 7:00 pm on a Friday evening and were seated immediately. The weather was quite chilly and wet due to the... More

They say single People sould stay in on the weekends, but I didn't wanna. I was looking for some surf and turf which they didn't offer tonight so I should have researched the menu more carefully. GPS got me there but I didn't see the sign until my second trip around the block. When you cross the tracks, you've gone... More

I enjoy some good southern fare and we excited to have some on my business trip to Columbia. My colleagues and I dined on the patio. The service was good and the wait staff polite. From across the way, the sound of college students rooting each other to "chug chug chug" only wafted our way a couple of times during... More

My girl friends and I decided to try Mr. Friendly's for our monthly outing. We did have to wait about 20 minutes to be seated but it was well worth the wait. We ordered fried oysters and calamari as appetizers. Both orders were excellent. Cooked to order and very fresh. For entrees we had peach BBQ glazed salmon, buttermilk fried... More

We ate here when passing through town. We did have a bit of trouble finding it at night. But, it was very worth it. It is not a huge restaurant, and we had to wait 10-15 minutes. Not bad. It was a bit pricier than we thought it would be. The food was great! We ordered the following: Lamb shanks,... More
