Last night I went again and ordered a Fiddler cheeseburger with onion rings, firecracker shrimp, Fiddler fries and I went ahead and got chicken wings. If I get home I found that the chicken wings were cooked to perfection, the Fiddler cheeseburger was very good but they don't put condiments on it. They offer you packets but you have to put it on yourself so I whipped out some ole Duke mayonnaise and ketchup and did it myself, the firecracker shrimp were good and the Fiddler fries were mediocre. Overall the experience was good though and I was really impressed. By the way, the onion rings were fantastic. I think they make them there. They're themselves. They don't seem to be pre-breaded. I got there just as they opened at 4:00 and they got slammed almost immediately because it was a nice day on the lake and everybody was wanting something to eat. I'll be back. It was good.

Came across this place while delivering something to Prosperity. Cute little spot in the river…read more Place is a little loud but lots of seating inside and out. We started with the fiddler fries and crab bites. Highly recommend the fiddler fries. The crab bites were not good at all. Very bland in flavor. I had the catfish platter with onion rings. My husband had there Sirloin special with collards and baked potato. Fish was cooked to absolute perfection, onion rings delicious, steak flavored and cooked beautifully, collards tasted sour and baked potato was good. I also got a blue Murray it was ok. For the flavors listed all I could taste was cherries and it wasn't one of the flavors listed. Ended dinner with their new toffee cake dessert. Now that was delicious!!! Service was ok. Had to look for our waitress a good bit but overall. Would definitely go here again. If you haven't tried it. I definitely would.

After reading several mixed reviews, we decided to give this place a try . Both my wife and I…read moreagree that the quality of the seafood was excellent. My only complaint was that I ordered chicken tenders to go along with my fried fish. They were overcooked and a bit dry. The restaurant also did not offer traditional BBQ sauce ? I mean even Carolina sauce would be awesome! We received stellar service tonight from Kaitlyn in the bar area. She went out of her way to answer all of our questions. She was courteous, friendly, and extremely efficient. We will return another time because of her. Thanks Kaitlyn! My wife's broiled seafood was amazing and the portions were large enough to afford us lunch tomorrow as a bonus lol We will return !

The best features of Catch are the prices/portions, the variety of the menu and service…read more My diner--Salmon Rockefeller, served over grits with slaw was just $22. The most expensive item on the Signature entrée menu is the fried shellfish platter at $30. I ordered fried okra as a side and was not disappointed. You have your choice of a variety of baked or fried seafood offerings. My wife opted for her go-to --crab cakes, which were served with a sweet potato purée, hush puppy logs and slaw. I sampled the crab cakes, and they were well prepared with a decent amount of crab. Our friends enjoyed their platters of jumbo fried shrimp and fried oysters. And for those so inclined, there is a raw bar. Catch may be one of the best seafood restaurant in the Columbia area. The portions are ample, well prepared, and reasonably priced. The restaurant boasts ample seating, a full bar and a family friendly atmosphere.

It may be small, but it's packed with incredible customer service, warm ambiance, and delicious, mouthwatering food. I was especially impressed with the lobster rolls, the best I've had since Charleston. The lobster was fresh, sweet, and perfectly prepared. And let's talk about the bar! The drinks are perfectly poured and the bartenders are amazing, attentive, welcoming, and they make you feel right at home. Come hungry and be prepared to fall in love with a menu full of savory, scrumptious options. Between you and me, I might just have to try the whole thing.

We were warmly greeted by the hostess, seated at a comfortable table and our server was fantastic!!! We enjoyed the crab dip as an appetizer. It is served with pita bread and was absolutely delicious!!! I highly recommend it. Five My husband had the surf and turd which was served with loaded mashed potatoes and broccolini. The steak was cooked exactly how he ordered it and was a large serving! Five I had the crab cake (which is technically an appetizer) and it was served with corn chowder. It was the perfect portion size for me after having an appetizer. Five I would eat this an appetizer or meal! I also opted for a side of mashed potatoes. Plenty of draft beer and a great cocktail/wine menu. We really enjoyed our visit and look forward to returning! What a gem!

But nothing could've prepared me for when i walked into this bad boy. MESMERIZED. Whoever did yalls interior decor? RAISE. Immediately! it's gorgeous in there, down to the bar top chairs. Literally a work of art - I'd go just for the ambiance. The servers were so personable and Nickie (bartender) is one of the greatest creations to this planet. Also the manager with the phenomenal winter jacket (you know who you are) that's giving 1990's realness, thank you for your service. I went for brunch and had some of the chargrilled oysters and the burger and woooooo child, it was fantastic! The cocktails and the chemistry behind them are probably some of the best I've had in the city so far. 10/10 do recommend.

First of all our waitress was incredible - she was so friendly. However, the "lobster mac and…read morecheese" is actually just pieces of langostino (budget friendly "lobster") and pieces of red pepper - I did not see a single speck of actual lobster. I noticed immediately when it came out and asked the waitress if it was just langostino or actual lobster and she said the kitchen said it actually was langostino AND lobster.. not a single crumb of lobster made it to our dish if that's true - which I doubt it was.. (again not the waitress's fault). Second of all... the tomatoes plated on the meatballs were CRIMINAL. This is insane for what's supposed to be a higher end restaurant. Cheap seafood imitations used for "lobster" and inedible slices of tomatoes are surely a choice!

This was my first time experiencing this venue, and I honestly was pleasantly surprised. From being greeted at the door and shown to our table, ordering our food to even having our waitresses snap a few photo's to document our visit, I was very impressed with the staff's attentiveness and willing to offer suggestions, and see our food was prepared promptly, and to our tastes. We chose to visit during lunch, so I ordered the Philly Cheese steak sandwich which came with fries, and it was very tasty. My friend ordered the fish & chips, which he said was also very delicious, his wife ordered shrimp with hushpuppy's, and I tried one, that cinnamon butter sauce pairs very with with the hush puppy's. The atmosphere for a lunch crowd was very chill, some soft music playing in the background, but not overpowering to limit conversation, the staff was friendly, and the food was tasty, with decent portions, and more importantly - Reasonably Priced. I can't wait to return again soon, and bring some friends along to share a new spot to enjoy some terrific food at Liberty On The Lake.

It felt like a great place for a celebration without being overly formal. We started with a few appetizers that were great for sharing. The hushpuppies came out hot and crispy and paired really well with the dipping sauces. The coconut shrimp was another highlight -- perfectly fried with a nice crunchy coating and a sweet dipping sauce that added a lot of flavor. For the main meal, the fish and fries were classic comfort food done well. The fish was golden and flaky with a light batter that wasn't too heavy, and the fries were crispy and seasoned just right. Everything came out fresh and hot, which made the meal even better. The coleslaw on the side was creamy and balanced the fried seafood nicely. Drinks were also a fun part of the celebration. The cocktail was refreshing and light, perfect for sipping while enjoying the lake view. Sitting by the water with a drink in hand really added to the birthday vibe and made the whole experience feel a little more special. Overall, Liberty on the Lake was a great choice for a birthday outing. Good food, generous portions, beautiful lake views, and a relaxed environment that made it easy to celebrate and enjoy time together. Definitely a nice spot for a casual celebration or a meal with family by the water.

Every so often you have to take a scroll back and see if anything new has been added to the menus. Not sure if this is new, but it's definitely something I haven't tried. We tried the Bang Bang Shrimp along with the Fried Shrimp Po' Boy platter and Hush Puppies. The Bang Bang Shrimp sauce was different from what we had tasted before, but it was good. I was looking for a sweeter taste but again, it still had a great taste. It came on a bed of lettuce. The Shrimp Po' Boy platter came with French Fries. The fries were crunchy and delicious! Matter of fact, they were perfect:) The Shrimp Po' Boy was good and simple. It didn't have a lot of stuff on it, which was cool for me. Again, the sauce was okay but the shrimp and fixings were delightful. These Hush puppies are always good, so no complaints there. Friendly staff and clean restaurant. This is a place I recommend. I will be back soon:)

Reservation highly recommended…read more Food was well presented. The raw oysters were delicious. Ordered individually. The accompanying plate (hot sauce, lemon, crackers etc) is available upon request. Big Poppa pizza is served Neapolitan style. Topped with freshly grated, long strand cheese . Probably OK to omit the sea salt as the pepperoni and parm cheese is salty enough. Service was good. Ordered raw oysters, pizza and a kids butter pasta. Received the wrong kids order so had to wait for them to remake the correct order. But the wait staff was very quick. Ambiance We sat outside. Nice place to sit but it was so hot even in the evening and mosquitoes were eating us alive Not the restaurants fault. However, one of the patrons walked past us as they were leaving and said that it felt cooler outside than it did inside. Recommended
