Great food! The waitress was attentive to needs and restaurant was clean. Food was a tad slower getting to table than other Lizard Thicket's I've been too, but was still good food and worth the $$$. read more

Lizard's Thicket - Fried Flounder (2 pieces), Mac & cheese, cream corn and fried okra. - Southern Near Me - Blythewood, South Carolina

So yummy! Good comfort food! Not for the diet conscious though! Fast, friendly. Reasonably priced. We will return!

Since breakfast is the most important meal of the day, we are fortunate to have Lizards's Thicket available on a lazy morning when cooking doesn't seem like an option. It's not just the specials and the pies are hand written on a chalk board, or that the servers seem actually interested in how you are and exactly how you want your meals prepared but it's actually fun to go there. Our server got all excited telling us about how they make the biscuits from scratch and she insisted on getting us packets of the " good butter" not the fake kind because biscuits taste better with real butter. Most places get annoyed if you have substitutions but here it's almost encouraged. I saw the manager mopping floors not just supervising. It's old school, it's warm, the food is simple and fresh and prepared with care any way you like with a staff that is more than special. You just don't get that talking into a kiosk in a drive thru and breakfast is the most important meal, so treat it as such and enjoy a step back in time at Lizard's Thicket. read more

It has been quite some time since I've been to a Lizard's Thicket but I always enjoyed their food options and recall it being fairly affordable. Those things don't seem to have changed much over the years and something about some things staying the same when so much else hasn't is incredibly comforting. I also appreciate that since the sides are made ahead of time in large batches, it's pretty quick so even as a sit down restaurant you can get in and out fairly fast. For the price, it felt like a better option when passing through than the fast food options off the exits. All in all, it was a good meal. The staff seemed to be a little overwhelmed even though it wasn't particularly crowded inside. There seemed to be a lot of call in orders, though. The phone was ringing off the hook for most of my visit. My waitress was nice. She was serving a large group when I came in so it took some time before she could make it to my table, but that gave me time to study the menu. I ended up choosing the fried flounder with squash casserole and okra & tomatoes. The food came out pretty quick and everything was good. Whoever dropped it off at the table was even nice enough to cover it with wax paper as I was washing my hands when it was ready. Hard to beat for $10 for a filling meal when compared to other places these days. It may not be the prettiest food you'll ever eat but it certainly hits the spot. I even placed a to-go order for my husband and it traveled and reheated well. As far as my food goes, I did find the batter of the flounder to be a little salty but a little lemon juice and hot sauce balanced it back out. The stewed tomatoes and okra were also a little on the salty side but not nearly as much and better than being bland. All in all, it was a good deal and far better than what I would've likely received at a drive-thru for the same price or more. If you're ever in SC and pass one of these while feeling hungry, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it over the fast food options nearby. I will say I think the one in Florence has been my favorite, but it has been many years since I visited so who knows if that still would be the case today. read more

Southern comfort food at its finest1 Meat + 2 or +3 and you will have a hard time deciding which sides. Fried chicken, fried flounder, mashed potatoes and gravy, cole slaw and squash casserole were all top notch and the okra and tomatoes was outstanding! Friendly servers treat you like family. Save room for dessert. read more

Good solid food at popular prices! The Lizard's Thicket is almost my perfect everyday restaurant.

This was my second time at this restaurant the first time I was not impressed. However I went For breakfast today and it was much better. The bacon was cooked to perfection, country jam was on point and the toast was perfectly toasted. I would have liked additional seasoning on the potatoes but they were ok. I will give them another try for dinner and then give my final review. The service was food as well. The server was attentive but not overwhelming. read more

Not many restaurants were open on Thanksgiving, but this Lizard's Thicket location was. They were properly staffed and had very little, if any, wait time. The restaurant appeared to be full of families who were getting together for Thanksgiving. Our waitress was very nice. She had several tables but was able to take care of us quicky. She was fast with refills and didn't hover like some do. Our food was very good. Rather than order the traditional Thanksgiving meal, we all ordered what we liked the most. The baked chicken was well cooked and seasoned. The mac and cheese was good. The collards had a lot of flavor. The fried okra had seasoning on it. The country fried steak was very good and the gravy was great. The only part that didn't live up to our expectations was the beans and rice. They were both dry, but didn't take away from the rest of the meal. The cornbread was delicious as always. These guys did a great job preparing families for Thanksgiving! read more

Great spot--friendly, fast, with delicious food. Lots of special/options, too. We stop here on our way north to NYS and coming back south to Florida. It has never disappointed us. It's a chain, but customers rate this one on University Drive the best. read more

Today our our wedding party came in for A meal after rehearsal,let me just say I have never seen service so terrible before this point! Our party sat there for upwards of three hours, the sever wasn't offered any help, and by the time we received the bill, she was reduced to tears! The manager sat in the office without so much as an apology, and most of our food was terrible!!! If I could give a negative 5 I would! This was absolutely appalling! read more

My brother and I used to eat here regularly. The last two visits have not been good. He had gotten the country fried steak and it was burnt to the point he couldn't chew it. My squash casserole was cold, the squash were not done. Last week, we went in around 5:30. We sat down, waited, the phone was ringing off the hook, no one would answer it. We waited some more. The waitress for the side we were on stopped to chat with an employee that wasn't even working there any longer, the other waitress for the other side was busting her butt. The waitress kept talking and I watched her lean against the wall to continue to chat so we got up and left. Before we got our, the one waitress that was busting her butt came and tried to get us to stay but by this time, we had seen enough and waited over 15 min. Probably our last trip to this location. read more

Always great meat and three. Their breakfast is no slouch ether. Sweet Iced Tea with a lemon, just the way my Nanny made it. Thank you Lizard's Thicket for feeding us like family. read more

Has become my go to spot for fried chicken when the craving hits and I need my fix. Crispy, piping hot, and juicy on the inside!

My first experience at Lizard Thicket. The service was mediocre, but the food was awful. I will not be returning.

Service good. Restaurant fairly modern. Menu filled with numerous choices. I had chicken fried steak, fried okra (both good), green beans and blackeyed peas (weird aftertaste...can't explain it. But, the water (yes water) tasted chemically or cleaning fluid...so, I asked for unsweetened iced tea, and it was just as bad. Bring your own drink... I wish the management would let me know why the peas, green beans, water and tea tasted so strange. read more

So, my first visit was very nice. They have a variety of meat, vegetables and desserts to choose from. I chose the fried chicken dinner, which came with 3 sides, corn bread or a dinner roll. We were seated quickly and served quickly. The staff was really polite, attentive and friendly. The food was good and very reasonable. Our waitress was awesome. I hope to see her on my next visit. read more

Stopped by over the weekend to enjoy a good southern meal with my wife. Overall the food was very good, tasty, and the salmon patty reminded me of my moms, 40 years ago.... what a memory. The staff was very courteous, and the take out business was booming. Will definitely be back for some southern vegetables. NC Foodguy read more

This would be my 2nd/3rd visit. I had to try it a couple of times before I could give it a fair assessment. This is one southern fixture that I'm not exactly sure what the hype is all about. So no it is not a part of my "must have" check list. The food is just ok. I personally feel when you buy southern cooking, especially in the south, it should taste like you just made a plate in your grandma/auntie's kitchen. Nothing I have had has ever blown me away. Every vegetable is made with pork. Even for the south, I still find that amazing that you can't get a vegetable without any meat. Your meals come with a choice of cornbread and/or biscuit, they are also just okay. Beside the food not being particularly special at this location the young lady at the front taking orders seems to be bothered by any and all questions. Her demeanor, gave off the impression that everyone should already know what Lizard's Thicket offers, so why are you asking her anything? Obviously not good, because not everyone in the world has dined here. So, on occasion questions need to be asked! After a couple of visits I'm not impressed and don't have a desire to revisit. read more

OMGOSH!!! We stopped here while traveling and so glad we did. We had a great lunch! Two of us had the country style steak, one had fried chicken, one got the fried catfish. Our sides were collards, Mac and cheese, rice with gravy, green beans, squash casserole, and mashed potatoes. All of which was delicious. I highly recommend the Mac and cheese. Everyone was so nice and friendly, (good ole Southern hospitality!), The service was polite, friendly, and we were served in a timely manner. I know if we're any near The Lizards Thicket again we will definitely go back. read more

Lizard's Thicket - Flounder, apples and squash casserole. Delicious! - Southern Near Me - Blythewood, South Carolina

The food at the Blythewood location has consistently gone down for the last year. Today we stopped for dinner and were completely unable eat our meals. The catfish, lima beans, salmon patties and black eyed peas were so salty we could not eat them! The squash casserole was served only slightly warm. The reason I am rating this establishment 2 stars instead of 1 star is our server Janet did take our food back to the kitchen and tried to help. This is more likely than not our LAST visit to any Lizard Thicket establishment!! read more
