This is pretty much your average Chipotle with a few unique features including a very friendly staff, plenty of parking, and absolutely nowhere to sit. I hear you, reader, saying "Wayment... They ain't got tables in there?"... But don't be mistaken, they HAVE tables! Their tables are just so messy that ordering out is a no brainer. I'm talking food on the tables, soda machine overflowing with discarded ice, and ~literally~ zero cutlery for me to use to enjoy my burrito bowl if said tables were usable. Am I angry? No. Anger solves nothing. I am disappointed. read more

I've eaten at Chipotle many times and usually enjoy the food. August 2026 was my first visit to the Chipotle on Garners Ferry Road, and I brought some out‑of‑town family members after shopping. Unfortunately, the experience missed the mark. The white rice was extremely salty -- something my family immediately noticed as well -- which made the bowls hard to enjoy. It felt like the recipe was off that day. If you're a regular Chipotle fan, I'd make the Garners Ferry Road location a last resort. read more

Dirty. I eat at chipotle 1-2x a week near my home in California and it's my fav go to when I want a good salad or bowl. First time ever visiting SC and this location. Felt bad for the employees, someone must have called out, looks like they will be here ALL night. Staff was also very nice. read more

See all

I'll get it out the way my food wasn't bad. But the experience was horrible. I went to simply get a salad bowl for myself and a burrito bowl for my wife. We'll start there I heard Chipotle cut back on portions so that's corp I guess but the lady who fixed the order used the chicken spoon to fix the steak. So if somebody is allergic or has dietary restrictions that could be an issue glad it wasn't me. Next up after the order was finished I needed chips and to my surprise chips were only for call in order. The young lady said none were prepped but that's strange because their is a staff of about 8 people 4 working and the other 4 singing Usher "there goes my baby" by all means have fun at work but do your job. To add to the disappointment there was no dressing for the salad due to prep. This frustration comes from my last visit when they had no cheese. To top it off the soda station was atrocious with ice overflowing the drainage looking terrible. Like I said the food was good even without the chips and dressing but the management needs to be addressed and the staff needs to be held accountable. Hopefully if/when I go back the experience is better. If you are in the area and visiting be aware that some of your fav may be "out" read more

It was absolutely horrible! The meat portions were as small as a finger nail and the guacamole was frozen to the core. It was horrible. Don't forget that the drink machine wasn't working and there was nothing noted that it was broken. So we spent $3 each on drinks we didn't even get. I mean that's pretty bad for a chipotle. At least the staff gave us some bottled drinks but for the price of a fountain. The manager didn't even say something as she was too busy chatting and not doing her job. This chipotle was absolutely horrible and I don't think I'm coming back! read more

I ordered two meals and a drink from the 6070 Garners Ferry Rd, Columbia, SC 29209 location. I only received chips that were burnt, and they were not edible. I did not order anything else in place of the chips, so I was unable to eat them. Please address this quality issue. read more

This chipotle never has 2 things that match after 7pm which confuses me because chipotle extended their hours to 11pm. How do they make it to 11pm. I don't know! But the CEO says their customers are 6 figure customers..... HOW? read more

Second in line(family of four), it took twenty minutes to get from that point to the checkout. Some joker was standing at the register twiddling his thumbs with his AirPods in while all our bowls needed were someone to put toppings on them. No sauces. No utensils. No smiles. Trash service. Trash ambiance. Overflowing trash. All of the chipotles in Columbia are like this. Not coming back. read more

Chipotle Mexican Grill - Overflowing Trash - Mexican Near Me - Columbia, South Carolina

This was the slowest chipotle I have ever been to. We placed our order ahead of time. It said it would be ready to pick up in 15 minutes. We had a 15 minute drive, and waited an additional 30 minutes before our order was even started. The method the employee used to make the food was asinine. She started about 15 orders and had them all laid out at various stages and ever finished any. The orders only got finished when another employee came over and started finishing and bagging them. And she gave them attitude when they came over to help. Food was cold, took way too long, and the order was also incorrect. read more

My visit here was exceptional. The food was great, seasoned, and the staff were very friendly and personable. I would definitely come back here, I cannot speak for the other review/experiences nor can I relate read more

I have been to many chipotles in my lifetime. I have spent upwards of 5000 dollars across my career of eating chipotle. I even once ate a quesadilla, burrito, and bowl in one sitting. I love chipotle. However, this place is an abomination. The workers are rude. The service is terrible. They constantly make incorrect orders. I demand justice and accountability. This place makes me emotional and angry. I hate this place. And I also hate the lady at the front. read more

Dirty counters and food prep area with food bits. They must've read the review about seeing an employee wiping things down with a dirty rag and decided not to clean at all. Haven't been back. read more

I got the chips the as fuck. The customer service is rude. They me extra for meat when they didn't even give me a full scoop of guess what that's OK. I have over 62,000 followers on your ass on there read more

I went last week and they were OUT OF CHICKEN... like what. Then came again today and the lady was yelling "WE CANT OPEN FOR ANOTHER 20 mins because we are still getting ready" when they were supposed to open an hour ago it said online and there was a ton of people in there waiting. I wouldn't bother trying to go here it's horrible at this specific branch read more

Grabbed a bite to eat this evening from Chipotle, and I must say I wasn't happy with the meal. The food appeared to be soggy and my bowl were half empty. I used to rave on their food but the last few times either it wasn't enough or the taste was just awful. Not sure if I would try this location again, but I am willing to try others in the city. Hopefully I will get the chance to enjoy what I ordered. read more

This location was great! Super clean, fast service, friendly employees. The food itself was really fresh. We also used the bathroom while we were here, and the women's room was clean. read more

door says open at 10:45AM. got there at 10:42 not knowing what time they opened, and realized we only had to wait a few minutes. at 10:46 we tried to open the door only to realize it was locked. maybe someone forgot to unlock it? wrong. it is now 10:58AM and 2 other people have tried to open the door. i guess it's a good thing we didn't go because of all the other bad reviews‍ read more

The employees didn't have positive attitudes and if you asked for more portions or anything extra there would be a bad attitude, even with the line to the door. This location was extremely dirty. Trash was overflowing, counters wasn't being cleaned as the orders were being prepped. The utensils weren't being stocked. The chipotle on forest drive is smaller but it's a better experience and the employees are nice and extremely helpful. read more

I was going to give this review less than a 5 star. The restaurant was out of white rice and chips, which was disappointing. However, the employee that assisted was so amazing that she made the experience 5-star worthy. She was very polite and helpful and made my bowl perfect! I am very glad I decided to eat chipotle tonight, and I'm really glad that Aria was the person helping me :) read more

Chipotle Mexican Grill - Very fresh Guacamole! - Mexican Near Me - Columbia, South Carolina

Terrible service everyone there has a terrible attitude and they skimp you on the food. I asked for guacamole and they where "out" at 7:40pm but they are open until 11pm. Yet they still had a full amount for the to go orders but wouldn't give me any from that. The tables are disgusting and nobody cleans them. Shooot they where even out of ice. Never going back... read more

The food was okay but they gave me stale broken up peace's of chips. why do they expect customers to eat old food. I'm going to trying chipotle one more time. But I will no longer go to the 6070 Garners Ferry Rd location. read more

Chipotle Mexican Grill - The name on the receipt is the person that gave me stale broken up peace's of chips - Mexican Near Me - Columbia, South Carolina

I would give zero stars if I could. The service was terrible. I literally asked for just a chicken quesadilla. The rep REFUSED to make it saying they don't do that in person in line. She said I would have to download the app and place an online order if I wanted to get that item, mind you after I waited through a long line in the first place to do it. That they haven't since they opened EVER made it for anyone that waited in line. Clearly this is a joke because the same people are going to have to make it for me so why are they forcing people to have to go through an online ordering process when I made the trip to store and waited in line just to have to wait in line again. Mind you this happened on 2/3/2024. Not going back to this location as literally not a single other chipotle I. Columbia treats customers like this. What a joke. read more

two days in a row the have no ingredient. employees sitting around the table and ask us why we came inside instead of welcoming us. it's cinco de mayo. would expect chipotle to be operating read more

So much for trying a new location of Chipotle. The staff at the Garners Ferry Road location in Columbia, SC was not a good experience to purchase from. Specifically the young lady preparing the entrées. The gentleman at the front of the line was in training and doing his best. She was not very helpful to him other than to snap AT HIM. Once he finished the first section of the salad bowl, he then passed to her and she rudely interrupted at least three times as I was asking her to drain the tomato juice from the tomatoes before putting it on my bowl. I will not come back to this location. I'm not opposed to eating Chipotle however I will make the trek across town to go to a location with employees who want to help the customer instead of rudely cutting them off. read more

Chipotle Mexican Grill - Treated like a third rate citizen while buying a salad bowl from Chipotle at the Garners Ferry Road location - Mexican Near Me - Columbia, South Carolina

At 8pm, the rice was out, the chicken, barbacoa, carnitas, and steak were out. They said we could wait for 10 minutes for steak so we did. 10 minutes later they told us to keep waiting as they were cutting the steak. 10 minutes later they said since it was 8:30pm they would no longer be making steak. So did they lie when said they "were cutting it"? read more

This is my favorite Chipotle in Columbia! Every time I go all the workers are really friendly. And they always have all the ingredients!! I drive extra far just to come to this location read more

I stopped by this chipotle after doing some shopping is a close by shopping center. It was right around the lunch rush so there was a good line almost out the door. I decided to see it through and waited in line. To my surprise, the line went much faster than I thought. The staff was visibly working hard and trying to get through the rush. They also maintained quality customer service and kept up their levels of efficiency. The food also tasted great and was very well put together. I was very impressed by this locations work and will definitely be returning. read more

This place is basically the best. This might as well be our second home. The entire staff knows our family so this review may be biased but we get treated like family. The staff and management is kind and helpful. They know our normal orders and how we like our food made. The window seating is always our favorite so you can eat AND people watch. We basically just live on the chicken and/or barbacoa burrito no rice (lo carb life!) and it usually lasts 2 meals so we get good ROI. My kid stocks up on thier cookies. She loves the kids pick your own option. Makes it so we never have to argue about where to go for dinner since we all have something we enjoy here! read more

Went to this location and the brown rice was uncooked. So I'd asked for the white rice and veggie bowl. Then I'd asked for two vinaigrette dressings. I was told that I can only get one. Even though I said I would pay extra. So you're so lazy to make extra vinaigrette dressing. Since I couldn't have two dressing I couldn't buy my food and enjoy it. read more

I ordered double chicken and this looks like half servings of everything in one bowl. This I would literally drive back to the store if they'd let me off base. This is an absolute joke. Piss poor portions and the sad part is you'd never make the bowel this crappy in front of a customer... won't be ordering for pick up or delivery with chipotle ever again. read more

Food is always on point but the dining room is always nasty. Tables dirty, fountain drink area dirty with trash, trashcans flowing over.

They are rude and disrespectful!! I asked for my order and the girl at the counter made my order again when I just wanted to add one item. She was rude and sarcastic like if she paid for my food!! It was not free so I should have some saying how I want my food! She was so disrespectful I will never buy food from here. read more

Been here a few times and it's always dirty, tonight trash was full on all 3 trash cans, self serve drinks were mislabeled and almost drained out and spout was sticky and covered in whatever...Self serve counter was dirty and table where the food was sitting for pick up had drinks that were consumed with straws and food crumbs...Employee was eating a bowl at the pickup food table and was wiping his nose with his apron. Then went right back to helping customers. We could only place online orders for some strange reason. This is my LAST time here. This Chipotle needs an overhaul. It's absolutely disgusting. read more

The people at this chipotle location are angels and my bowl is always amazing 10/10 stars if that was an option

Food was decent, but, we are the only two people in the dinner room, and every table is filthy. The fountain drink area is also cluttered and filthy. read more

Usually this place is really good and the manager is super friendly. But every time we have gone here (at least 6/10 visits) they have a sign on the door saying they only take online orders. I don't know what's going on but it's so inconvenient because we're just wasting our time driving to this location. read more

Great food but they need to learn to roll burritos Someone give me 1 reason why my burrito should covered in sauce, if I wanted sauce all over my fingers I would've gotten wings. Also why this burrito look like it's for a little kid. 10/10 food though of course I'll go back read more

I waited in line for 30 mins. The manager or one of the employees apparently put a sign on the door that they were out of lettuce while I was in the line. I finally got up to order and didn't know they were out of lettuce. I ordered and asked for the salad and the dude was like "man... we ain't got no lettuce." I was like "duuuuude." The guy said "man the sign was on the door." I told him "bro I was in line for 30 min and I saw you putting something on the door but you didn't say anything." I mean, dude could have told people in the line that they were out of lettuce. Sorry overall experience. Chipotle is slippin' and dude at Trenholm is trippin'! The Trenholm Chipotle is always spot on. read more

So every time I visit this location it's always empty when I walk in but while I'm their it gets very crowded! This location is one of my favorites because every one who works there is heavy handed. They pile up the the tray/burrito and you don't have to ask for extra! Great outside seating with a Starbucks to the left and a Marble Slab to the right! Perfect location! read more
