Strip steak, Italian salad, and Fettucine Alfredo
Carina V.

The strip steak and mashed potatoes were good, however the Fettuccine Alfredo was super watery and thin. The salad wasn't too good either. The bell peppers were unique and definitely a standout! We got the ice cream torte for dessert. I would say the food itself is nothing to write home about, but the live jazz and experience is what makes this place famous. We had a 90 minute wait--to be honest, I don't know if it was worth it. Service was rushed and curt as well.

Double Pork Burger
Shawn V.

This place has got it going on! Live piano with a laid back feel makes this place feel like something special. However, the double pork burger was a little bit of a let down. Everything here is a la carte and my burger was just a little plain tasting. The fries were great! Service was good but once again nothing that would stand out. Would come back to give another dish a try but this first visit was a bust :(

Dinner salad with creamy peppercorn dressing!   Very refreshing
Kari W.

Tuesday night at 8:30. Place was packed. Reviews seem to indicate this is THE place to eat in Columbia. Phew. It says "cozy". Cram packed is more like it. Live jazz. Nope. A piano player you could barely hear over the noise. The wait was 30 minutes. No big deal. The "waitress" in the holding pen asked us if we wanted something to drink. Each ordered a beer. $8.09. Gave her $20.25. She gave me a $10 back. That was presumptuous; she cashed us out before our table was ready. Weird. We were seated by the kitchen and bathrooms. We ordered the oysters (phenomenal!), frog legs (excellent), blue corn chip bread (garlic bread with shrimp--just meh), dinner salad with creamy peppercorn (fresh and delightful) and the southwest chicken soup (brothy and excellent with a lot of big pieces of moist chicken breast; great depth of flavor). It was plenty for us as I don't eat much. The service in the dining room was EXCELLENT! She answered questions. She was prompt with food and helped with extra napkins. We would go back for the oysters and crab legs and even the salad! The rest you can keep. Prices are very low and well worth it! We couldn't hear each other talk, let alone even think. Probably won't return.

A family favorite for decades , there's no better place in Columbia to gather & enjoy from a selection of well-executed classics. The ambiance is my ideal: dimly lit, oak furniture and string lights adding subtle warmth. It's comfortable and classy and worn in; Murry's invites you to nestle in stay awhile. Try anything at all on the menu & I'm sure you'll be pleased, but be sure to start with a dinner salad with creamy peppercorn dressing. It's brought up regularly in conversation between my mom and I, we love it so much.

One of my favorite places to visit when in Columbia food is amazing. Fried green peppers with powdered sugar an amazing delightful simple appetizer. Friendly wait staff romantic atmosphere music both piped in and live depending on the time of day but always beautiful jazz. Love this place!

Is it kid friendly?

Some people bring their kiddos but truthfully, it is always packed, and space is tight - there's not a kid menu and it is dimly lit. I don't think I would bring kids there unless you have no other choice and/or you have kids maybe age 8 and over who…

The Menu is packed full of salivating descriptions. We will be back to try other items, despite my disappointment in the burger. My daughter loves the pulled pork sandwich on the gluten-free bun, and my wife enjoyed her chicken bacon club sandwich. I ordered the bacon cheeseburger with onion rings. I find if a restaurant can get a bacon cheeseburger and onion rings right they're worth a second go. I read in the description of this restaurant that they have generous portions, I order onion rings at five onion rings, that's not generous in my book. The onion rings were greasy and clearly fried in the same oil that fish is fried in. My wife and I had completely opposite experiences with the bun, she said hers was light and fresh. Mine was cold and stale. The burger tasted as if it was a hard pressed frozen patty that have been microwaved. I'm sure it wasn't microwaved. It just had that dense bland flavor in texture. The environment was definitely family friendly, and our server "Emma" was very sweet. She was not overbearing, nor was she absent. Like I said, we will be back, but I won't order the burger and onion rings ever again.

During the colder months, Deuce is the perfect football-watching pub, as there are plenty of TVs lining the walls. Sand volleyball is also a huge part of the Deuce, and I would recommend playing in a league to anyone! If you aren't into volleyball, there is shuffleboard and darts inside, and cornhole outside! Another aspect that really makes Deuce my favorite is their large food menu! The kitchen is open late, which makes it a great spot for any late night cravings. My go-tos are the pizzas, burgers, and wings! I like to wash this down with an Angry Orchard or a Mango Cart, but there are plenty of other draft beers to pick from. I would highly recommend the Deuce Pub & Pit to anyone!

My first red flag should have been when she said "we have no blue superlytes" but they were right in front of her face. Then, i asked for a water 3 times. Big mistake, they did not have water. Then, it took 40 minutes to take our order. Add another hour for how long it took to come out. Also brought one plate at a time, in 20 min increments. 10 years? I thought it was 10 seconds into your first shift. I have never left no tip or less then $1 but wow... once I saw her sitting with her customers... lost me! Thank you Sierra

Things started out well, the BF had a tasty Manhattan and I had a mocktail that was subtle and delicious, and not overpriced as mocktails often are. But alas. The house salads that we ordered were overdressed in a vinaigrette so acidic we couldn't finish them. And there wasn't much to them. Other than greens and fried shallots and pickled red onions, there was a tiny dusting of some finely grated cheese. And who needs two kinds of onions and nothing else on the salad? Then we each had a bowl of the matzo ball soup, which was ridiculous. Three matzo balls sitting in a quarter-inch of broth that was so unbelievably salty that we couldn't eat that either. We ended up asking for hot water to dilute the broth to a level of saltiness that was edible. The chicken was okay and the matzo balls were okay. A little gummy. But the broth was just awful. It all made me wonder if the chef had lost their sense of taste due to Covid or something. Seriously. I've had that happen to me a couple of times and all I could taste was really basic stuff like sour and salt. And our waitress was totally uninterested in trying to make our experience better. She wasn't rude, she was just indifferent to the fact that we'd been served two courses that we absolutely couldn't eat. Didn't offer us anything to compensate or even express any sympathy about it. We got out of there as fast as we could and made ourselves feel better with an Andy's frozen custard.
