Jack Brown's Beer & Burger Joint is a no frills burger spot that put a focus on craft beer,…read moresignature sauce, and creative modern burger concepts. The vibe here is dive bar but the beer selection is solid. You'd find a solid selection of craft brews. They do a daily burger special which I went with this trip and was a 9/10 burger idea and was well executed. When it comes to the fries they have BOTH regular and sweet potato fries which instead of ketchup you'd use the signature Jack Browns sauce which reminds me of Mac sauce. The sauce alone is worth the hype and they put a giant bottle on your table when you sit down so they intend on you using it religiously. All in all Jack Brown's makes a great burger and when you put it all together this is a great spot to go for craft brews, interesting burger ideas, and a good spot to chill.

The menu…read morelooked great and the photos online highlighting the food and the establishment looked promising; still rustic but with a modern twist. The table enjoyed the Miguel's Queso. I'm pretty sure the kids licked the bowl clean. Kids Chicken Nuggets - 6 crispy nuggets with a side of choice. Thick breading but good portion and taste. Crinkle fries were a bit hit for this little one. Enjoyed the fries with ranch. Lone Star Brisket Sandwich - Smoked brisket, house-made pickles, and slaw. Brisket looked delicious but was a bit dry and lacked seasoning. The pickles, slaw, and BBQ sauce delivered the moisture and flavor. Smoked Half Chicken - Smaller chicken quarter but tender and moist. Still lacking flavor counting on the BBQ sauce. Had the mac-and-cheese and fries as a side. Mac was cheesy but again dry. Saint Louis Pork Ribs - Good portion but again on the flavor - heavily reliant on the sauce. Sweet tea was perfect and the pickles were delicious! Service wasn't the best; refills were hard to get. I think next time we will avoid a chain and find a hole-in-the-wall establishment.

The Hoot has turned into one of my go-to Columbia spots!…read more I've been about four times now (last visit was takeout only) and the food was always good, but so is the vibe. As one of the only vegan dedicated places in Columbia, it's such a boon. My first visit I just needed some time to myself. It was about 4pm'ish, I barely ate all day, and I just wanted to absorb this book. I got a nice corner seat at the bar, ordered a delicious amber beer and the cheesy fries, and had a nice hour + just chilling. My barkeep could tell not to bother me, but didn't ignore me...it was perfect. My second visit was slightly later in the day and the place was busier, but you could still find a little spot to yourself if needed. Had the special for the day - the Chik'n Caesar Wrap and the tots - a great comfort meal, and a hard cider. I'm at or near Rosewood pretty often at different times of day, so I'm glad The Hoot is a viable option. My only gripe is that it's a bit difficult to find. I wish they had better signage on Rosewood, and below, that the entrance is in the parking lot below/behind the block. I parked down there and didn't even see it!

Second time here and honestly it was a miss on the service and food was good but not a home run…read more Giving benefit of the doubt with the number of festivals and events happening, the service was a 2.8 at most out of 5 due to limited staff. 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.

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!

I went inside and said, " excuse me sir" he barely turned around. I continued with, " my husband and I have been sitting outside at the bar for for a bit now. " "Well. You were just out there so I was wondering if you would please take our order?" He fully turned around this time and glared at me and said in a rude manner and loud voice, " Yeah, when I get a second chance!" Then turned around and went back outside to deliver the others ( that he did not blatantly ignore) their drinks. I walked outside and told my husband we were leaving. Unless you do not want to be served, want to be treated like you are an inconvenience when you politely ask to be served, and to deal with dirty conditions( I would steer clear from this place!
