Three Notch'd was a pretty fun brewery, and even though I went late at night, the staff was still…read morevery friendly and provided great service. They also had this awesome sour beer that I had never had before, and it quickly became one of my favorite beers that I've ever had. The bartender also took quite a bit of time to provide me and my friend with samples, explained to my friend the difference between the beers she liked, and told her what to ask for in the future. I also loved the brewing equipment on display in the restaurant, and thought that the brewery did a great job of making them look sleek, modern, and eye-catching. My only complaint is that the back of the restaurant still has the name of the old brewery on it, making it look kind of awkward with two (2) different names on the building. Despite this, I still really like Three Notch'd, and will be back in the future!

We're visiting Columbia SC for 1 night. We did not want to travel too far from Hotel to eat, so we…read morestopped in at Three Notch. There was a decent crowd, but not overly busy. We ordered 1). Fish and Chips; 2). Chicken Nuggets and Fries; 3). Chicken Flatbread; 4). Wings and sliders. Desert: Donut Holes. Needless to say NOTHING ORDERED was worth eating- ALL OF THE MEALS were nasty. Our waiter was great, but that food went to garbage. Our bill was $120 or so and we only had Tea, sprite, water, two beers. Overpriced and horrible food! I will never go back. Update: After posting my review, the VP responded with an apology and asked me to contact him directly. I did, and I am very appreciative of how seriously my concerns were taken. The VP personally followed up with me. He took the time to listen to what happened and made a genuine effort to make things right. While our original experience remains disappointing, I also believe in giving credit when a business takes responsibility and responds appropriately. I was impressed with the personal attention and the effort made to resolve the situation. I would be willing to give the restaurant another opportunity in the future and hope that our next visit reflects the level of experience they strive to provide. Thank you VP of Operations. This really showed me that you believe in your business!

While on an extended visit in SC, we decided to do an impromptu girls dinner. We ended up @ Bluefin…read moreby the suggestions of 2/3. I was the third party member going in blind because while my dinning companions suggested Bluefin, if I'm honest they were not doing a good job selling it, with their mixed reviews. We arrived @ 7pm on a Saturday. Upon arrival we were asked if we had reservations, which we did not. We were seated immediately because oddly enough the place was not busy. As we perused the menu, we noticed the amount of time that had elapsed without being approached or attended to. As we continued to wait, I immediately thought this is a bad sign. Finally we got a waitress and placed our orders. For starters we ordered: -BLUEFIN CRAB DIP: Lemon Breadcrumbs and Toasted Baguette -CRAB CAKES: Sweet Corn, Black Eyed Peas, Tomatoes, Leeks, Whole Grain Mustard Butter -PRINCE EDWARD MUSSELS: Garlic, White Wine, Herbs, Leeks, Tomatoes, Lemon Butter All were good. Even though I ordered it, I was surprised by how much I enjoyed the combination of the sweet corn and black eyed peas of the Crab Cake dish. The Mussels were good and the Crab Dip was ok. For an entrée I went with the PAN SEARED BLACK BASS (BARRAMUNDI) with Fried Brussel Sprouts, Shrimp Fried Rice, and Ginger Soy Vinaigrette. This dish was great! Both my sister and I ordered this and we could not stop raving about it. She was little salty that I had some left for a doggy bag , albeit a small amount, and she finished all of hers. Lol Overall the experience started off shaky but the food was good. Just A Note: The service left much to be desired but the dish I had was memorable.

We were able to grab a booth that did not have a reservation booking, so we made it work. It wasn't overly crowded, but they were consistently busy. Our server was nice, timely, helpful, and very attentive. The classic margarita was excellent. I was nervous about the salad, but I'm here today to talk about it so I guess the lettuce was okay. Haha! The very kind server was reassuring as we discussed my interest and decision to order a salad. The caesar dressing was more of a vinaigrette style than a creamy. It was pretty good. The crotons taste like they are made in house. They were absolutely delicious. For our appetizer, we ordered the riblets and duck wontons, which are always extremely tasty. The riblets were interesting, but definitely delicious. Sorry I didn't get a full pic. We were hungry. The kids chicken and fries were pretty standard. My kids enjoyed their meals and cleaned their plates for the most part. I believe the menu shifts from time to time. I ordered the high plain cowboy cut which is the ribeye that comes with one side. I love that they have certain temperature limits depending on what cut you decide to order. The ribeye was perfectly cooked, extremely flavorful, and delicious. It was an excellent size. For my sides I ordered the seasoned chef potato's, I added cheese which was a great accompaniment to the seasoned potatoes. I wish they gave you more than they do especially with the prices. The brussel sprouts were cooked with some crispness and overall really appetizing. I had an amazing experience. The atmosphere was amazing, the food was delicious, and the service was on point.

My service was excellent. Owner and manager both came over at different times to welcome us to their restaurant and sincerely wanted to know what we thought of their food and establishment. Ambience is going to attract all the hunters out there. Lots of game on the walls from afar and local. You will not be disappointed if you visit The Beer Hunter. I can see this is going to be my favorite hangout for college football So glad you guys made it to Blythewood. I wish you all the best.

I wanted to try their gumbo so I ordered a small cup of it. We also ordered 6 wings with the house rub and blue cheese for dipping. For an entree we split the mushroom swiss burger with fries. The gumbo was good. Had a nice flavor and a dark roux. It also had shrimp, small pieces of Andouille and possibly some chicken in it? My only issue was the andouille wasn't as tender as I'd like. Seemed like the casing of the sausage was hard. Good, but I've had better. The wings came with a large amount of their house dry rub all over it. I like dry rubs but this was excessive. We both had to brush off the rub with a knife. Probably wouldn't order them again. Our Mushroom/Swiss burger was good. We both thought it needed a little salt and we ordered it well done. It came medium with a little redness in the center. Good bun. We weren't terribly impressed with what we ordered but I've been once before and do know their club sandwich is good and also the beef sandwich with au jus. Their dinner menu offers several steak options and a good sounding salmon entree, along with shrimp and grits and a couple of pasta dishes. We'll probably go back and try one of those for dinner some evening. Nice looking inside...hope it continues to do well as we need decent restaurants in this area.

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 only allowed me to order through a food delivery service. I live 200 ft away so I was just gonna walk there and pick it up. If there was a way for me to order online without a delivery service, then it wasn't clear to me on the website. The food was okay at best. I got the fish n chips. It was good...not great...just good. Fish was fried well and the fries were tasty. The person at the desk who took my order and the girl standing beside her acted as if seeing me was the last thing they wanted to do that day. I placed the order, asked where to wait for the food, and one girl said "you can't stand right there, wait outside, sit at the bar...I don't care where you wait" in a very snide and rude tone. The person who brought the food to me asked my name, handed me the food, and walked away. I said thank you but she was just gone. I left saying "have a good day" and the host at the register just stared at me. From what I could see of the inside, it looked nice. Probably won't be back to see more of the restaurant. For a place of high esteem as Liberty Tap Room, it definitely failed me on the service portion. Major turn off for me.
