    Mushroom risotto
    Amy S.

    Good service. Plenty of seating. Typical bar food. Chicken tenders with fries- fries on the salty side. Wings were good but on the sweet side. Mushroom Risotto - not a good choice.

    Jumbo Lump Crab Pretzel

    So excited to find this spot! Another date night in Columbia and we gave Frisco Taphouse a try. So glad we did. There are two sections of the building. One side is the restaurant with a larger menu and quieter atmosphere. There is a large bar and a beautiful fish tank when you first go in. The stage area has black lighting so it is not very easy to take pictures of the items on the table haha On the other side is the Reckless Shepherd Brewery with a large stage for bands to play. We dropped in on a Tuesday night at 8:00pm and it was open mic night. There were two bands and three individuals that played both original music, and covers. One man played the electric guitar that took over the room! We absolutely enjoyed ourselves and the music. As for the food and beers, we ordered the Loyally Blonde, Mellow Howl IPA, Fundido Pizza and the Jumbo Crab Pretzel. The pretzel was smothered in creamy jumbo lump crab dip and had a beautiful crust on the bottom that held up and never got soggy. The pizza had very fresh Pico de gallo and chorizo with a great crispy yet fluffy crust. We really loved the food we got and would absolutely go back to try more. I have a feeling the weekends would be packed with bigger known bands so make sure you go in before the music gets going.

    Crab pretzel dip

    So this is the restaurant side and there is another brewery side. Very typical bar food. The waitstaff is incredibly friendly. I had the March madness hotdog and the crab and pretzel dip. Again. Basic bar food but I would be back if in the area.

    a bowl of soup and bread

    I've always really enjoyed Frisco's menu in that it offers as many veggie / pescetarian options as full fledged meat....and the new digs make this place even better. Love that the place looks updated, open, bright, fresh...but the vibe is very 'come as you are.' Tshirt to button down shirts: all good! Stand outs: - French onion soup. This is the real deal. No mix, not salty. Might even venture to say it's my fave in the area!! - Moroccan coffee. We accidentally had the brunch menu stuck in our dinner menu but glad we saw this to order it. It's a much smoother, lighter, delicious version of an Irish coffee Solid: -crab cake sandy: solid crab chunks!! Suggestions: - whipped feta app: thought it'd be lighter..might be more accurate to call it creamed feta (like the cream cheese texture it truly resembles)

    Scallop special
    Melissa M.

    We had a friend visiting from MA and since we enjoyed lunch here the weekend before we thought we'd try dinner! There is plenty of space and they spread people out well. I got their scallop and Parmesan risotto special. It was really good! Although the scallops a bit small. R got the prime rib, which was good but would have been easier to deal with if it came on a real plate and wasn't placed on top of the mashed potatoes. Our friend got the tap house chicken sandwich and really enjoyed it. Although stated on the menu we later realized, our waiter asked her if she wanted fries, onion rings, risotto or a side salad and she chose the salad. We were just surprised at the charge on the check with the way it was presented by the waiter. We had to wait about 20 minutes after our food and drink cups were cleared before we could ask for our check. Thank goodness you can pay with the QR code because we wanted to leave. Otherwise this would be 5 stars!

    Cajun breakfast skillet

    I really wanted to like this place as a new option for brunch but after two visits it's probably coming off that list. First visit chicken and waffles. The chicken was extra extra crispy as in overcooked and seemed to be more batter than chicken. Toast was served dry and we had to ask for butter. They don't offer jelly. Second visit Cajun breakfast skillet had no noticeable chorizo but was loaded with potatoes. So many that I just got tired of eating them. Again, our bread choice was served dry and we had to ask for butter. Would it be so difficult to just add it to the plate in the kitchen? There certainly was plenty of room on the plate for it.

    Tiny salty soup
    G M.

    Frisco- Columbia I would like to say it was just a Monday in the kitchen, but....... the restaurant week menu was a complete disaster. The soup was ridiculously salty, I got the shrimp as a mediocre substitute (salty breading) The whipped feta was ok, not whipped enough for my taste, huge chunks. My lamb lollipops was still alive and kicking (medium rare was beyond rare!)re-fired! But the glaze reduced down to ...... dare I say it...... Salty Gravy glued to a shingle!!! The salmon and crab cake was delicious. and then there is dessert...... the bread pudding was excellent (wish the sauce was in a container) as we got it to go..... Then the chocolate mousse ..... grainy, more like wet pudding and the ice cream is cheap and generic this is definitely not at the price point. It is a cavernous restaurant and bar, seemed clean and tidy, until.... The men's room didn't have hand soap in the dispenser there is fuzzy stuff growing on the intake vent above the handicapped stall. the hallway to the restroom had a sticky spot that tried to take my shoe. All of this and there was maybe 5 tables and a few people at the bar. It was a ghost town on the "fun" bar area. Although we tipped 20% Our server disappeared more than a few times, them meal them way longer that'd it should have , even with the other problems. Yes we got a visit from the manager for the lamb (baaaaaaaaa) issue. Nothing subtracted from the check or maybe a gift card to try them again in the future. Don't try to message them on FB, they look but don't say anything.

    I've been here for brunch and lunch. They have bottomless mimosas for brunch. The atmosphere is great and they have two sides; one more quiet side that's great for a date where you can chat easily and a more club looking side with games. The food has been great and so has the service. Not to mention that they have California burrito with French fries!!

    We went to checkout their new digs on Easter! Our bartender, Keith, was on his A game with drink and beer recommendations. We also went next door to take a look at The Reckless Shepard!

    Potato latkes with sour cream
    Farah K.

    I can only speak to the food i got delivered from Frisco and it was pretty good. I happened to notice on FB that they were advertising a birria weekend. Birria tacos, cheesesteaks, nachos, burritos. Having not sampled it yet, I got excited to try it out. Also ordered potato latkes cos why not? :p Food arrived packed well. Birria tacos came with consommé and it was delicious even warmed up after a delivery. The consommé really does make the tacos. The potato latkes came with sour cream and I had applesauce at home so that also made for a delicious meal, if eclectic between the two very different items we ordered. I hope they keep the birria tacos on their permanent menu! Also very good social media presence!

The menu offers a nice balance between curated bowls and build-your-own options, and everything on display looked vibrant and genuinely fresh. Even the subtle aroma of garlic in the air set the tone in the best way. I don't usually go for chicken (I cook enough of it at home), but being from Hawaii, there was no way I was passing up on their limited-time Huli Huli chicken. For those unfamiliar, traditional Huli Huli chicken is typically bone-in, skin-on, soaked in a brine, marinated with a blend of soy sauce, ginger, brown sugar, garlic, and pineapple juice maybe rice vinegar or ketchup, it's all left to the cook. Basted several times as the meat is flipped until fully cooked. Back home, you don't just eat it--you experience it. You smell it long before you see it--grilling on those iconic half oil drum kettles along the roadside, often set up for fundraisers or local gatherings. The sight of chicken quarters being flipped ("huli" means "turn") and basted over open flames is pure island nostalgia. So yes, expectations were high. I was offered a sample, and it delivered. The flavor balance was spot on--savory, slightly sweet, and deeply satisfying. The chicken itself was moist and tender. The only thing missing was that classic crispy, charred skin and the full leg quarter presentation you'd find back home--but even so, it didn't disappoint and left me wanting more. My bowl came together beautifully with coconut sweet potato sauce, fresh spinach, garlicky cilantro green beans, and basmati rice. It was flavorful, well-balanced, and delicious. Service was another highlight--the staff was friendly, patient and helpful with recommendations. The space itself is not large to eat in but it was clean, bright with ocean-toned blues that nod to its island inspiration. I'll definitely be back--especially while that Huli Huli chicken is still on the menu.

Oddly enough, it was pretty quiet, but they do have the games on for anyone looking for a low-key spot to watch. We were seated within 5 minutes, which I appreciated. Our server, Patrick, was... okay. Not terrible, but definitely felt new to serving. We didn't get the rundown of the daily specials (yet overheard them being given to the booth behind us), and a few small service details slipped through--but I'm giving him grace based on his newness. One thing I noticed from Yelp reviews is that bread is usually served automatically. We had to request it, especially after seeing tables seated after us get theirs first. Not a dealbreaker, but noticeable. We ordered several appetizers, and honestly, they were filling enough to be a full meal: * Ribs - Flavorful, tender, and genuinely falling off the bone. The portion sizes were a bit inconsistent--some pieces were cut shorter than others--but the texture was on point. I'd definitely return for these. * Brussels Sprouts - Patrick didn't mention they were shareable, which would've been helpful. I did like the flavor, but in hindsight I'm glad we pivoted to... * Crab Dip - This one missed for me. The flavor leaned more tuna-ish than crab-forward. Not my preference, but you may feel differently. * Shrimp in Spicy Butter - Definitely spicy, but somehow still flavorless. More like spicy water than a seasoned butter sauce. The one bonus? They were served piping hot--exactly how I like my food. * French Fries - Hand-cut and tasty. A solid win. Unfortunately, everything except the shrimp came out lukewarm, which took away from dishes that could've been great. Temperature matters! On the drink side, though? Hits all around. The fresh-pressed beet juice was fantastic, and the sweet tea was also on point. We skipped dessert only because we were full, but I'm already planning to come back specifically to try it--along with the ribs and fries again. Overall, I'm hoping this was just an off day. Elliott's Kitchen has potential, and I'd like to see it shine on the next visit
