The atmosphere was about as expected, the music exceeded my expectations. The bar stools were not the most comfortable. The hostess/bouncer looked like she could bounce for real. As for the food: Tried the Elvis. Should have ordered a double, as I was expecting a larger burger than it was. It was a solid flavor profile. It's a thin patty concept, with solid flavor profiles and dripping with juices. The presentation was a lot more o a fast food paper bag which was not expected, but I guess expect it when in a dive bar restaurant in 5 points. The crinkle cut fries were underwhelming, too thin to be fries. The sauce they provided was solid for fries. Maybe next time I will try sweet potato fries. Overall a fairly impressive hunk o burger love, next time I will try a double maybe.

Our waitress was sweet but you could tell she was screaming for assistant and help. Several tables needed bussing in and outside and the bathroom needed a serious scrub down as someone's daughter and mom had fun with a brown crayon following dinner. Hubby and I were eager to try some more options again but advised a lot of the items were out. Mr. Foodie settled on a classic burger while I got the Greek. Very tasty medium burger with Greek veggies, toasted bun and side of tzatziki sauce. Burger actually good and paired well with fries. Sauce could be blended more with the yogurt but great addition. Hubby said burger was good just needed more sauce. Not giving up on it as an option but definitely not a first choice.

Wow! I could have sworn I shared a review for Whataburger not too long ago, but I guess not. So let…read moreme start off by saying I am from the upstate part of South Carolina, where places like Clocks, Pete's, and Sugar-n-Spice are in abundance and their bacon cheeseburger plates are spectacular. If you are looking for a similar-style burger place in the Columbia area, then Whataburger is it. I enjoy the call-ahead drive-through, and there is plenty of parking. The interior is set up as a counter-service diner. The ordering process, whether in person or over the phone, is easy. Their bacon cheeseburgers do not come close to those in the upstate, but they are good. It is satisfactory in size, and the flavor is tasty. They are definitely a great burger option in the area. I wish the bacon was cooked a bit more. Otherwise, their bacon cheeseburger is pretty solid. Their fries are crinkle-cut and lightly salted. The fries I receive are always fresh. Now that I think about it, I'm not sure if I got coleslaw or not. The customer service is nice and undeniably appreciated.

That gave me the perfect excuse to finally stop at Zesto--thanks to everyone who's nudged me toward it. Your recommendations were spot on. I ordered a fried chicken dinner at the window, though the handoff system was a bit of a mystery. After paying, I wandered into the dining room and found a seat. A few minutes later, the food arrived--no buzzer, no shout, just a quiet drop-off--and I was ready to dig in. The chicken was fresh from the fryer, piping hot, and fully cooked through. Not spicy, but flavorful and juicy in all the right ways. I polished off every piece with enthusiasm, leaving only the dinner roll untouched. The two little tubs of cole slaw didn't stand a chance either--crisp, creamy, and gone before I knew it. I did linger a moment, debating the chocolate-dipped ice cream cone that Zesto's known for, but tonight wasn't the night. Maybe next time, when I'm not so full or so close to a food coma.

Pawleys Front Porch is a dive bar, and has been featured on an episode of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives. We arrived about 15 minutes after they opened, and were the first to arrive. Even after us being in the restaurant for an hour, only two other parties arrived to dine. It honestly felt like a ghost town, and hope that it is not like this every day. Their fried pickles are actually pretty good! They are crispy, hot, and have a good dill taste (good pickles). The chicken tenders are good! They aren't frozen, are crispy, and have good taste. The burger was supposed to come with a pretzel bun, but apparently they haven't had a pretzel bun in three years lol. Why is it still on the menu? We don't know. His burger was a bit overcooked and toppings weren't quite as high quality as last time. Our server was wonderful, and constantly came around to refill our drinks and get us anything we need. It did take a bit of a long time for our food to come out, but that's alright. As long as the food is good we don't mind. We hope to see the restaurant return back to how good it used to be!
