The live band set the tone for the entire night . Smooth, soulful, and engaging--honestly felt like a mini concert while you're dining. The food came through too! The Fly Town Fries were stacked, flavorful, and had just the right kick , and the shrimp quesadilla was crispy, melty, and packed with flavor--definitely a must-order . Everything felt like elevated bar food done right. Drinks were on point--a chilled white Moscato paired perfectly with the meal , light, smooth, and refreshing for the vibe. The crowd was lively, diverse, and really added to the experience--this is definitely a social spot. Great for date night, girls night, or just getting out and enjoying downtown Columbia If you're looking for good music, good eats, and a great atmosphere all in one place, The Joint is it. Definitely coming back!

She was pleasant and attentive. The restaurant is lively and very loud, we had to yell across the table to one another and yell when we ordering. The place has a small lounge area when you enter and seating on the main floor and upstairs. It has a nice rustic ambiance. The craft cocktails are outstanding. Our food was so delicious, the pork chop was very tender and moist, paired with the parsnips and charred greens was brilliant. My steak was flavorful and tender and the fingerling potatoes with the black garlic aioli was to die for. This is a great place for a celebratory event or simply a great place for an outstanding meal. Cant wait to return.

I ordered the steak fries , because they are hand cut, but to be honest, I wasn't impressed. They were slightly undercooked and not crispy. They were dark, so I suspect they just need to change the oil to more accurately gauge the doneness of the fries. Another customer kept ordering this and it looked so pretty! I decided to try it and, honestly, I'm OBSESSED! It's not as sickening sweet as I expected. It's fruity, but sour, with a an aftertaste of gin. I would love to try this with Hendricks or Roku, I think it would level up the flavors. But this was made with tanqueray. Still, I HIGHLY recommend this unique cocktail. But you'll have to ask for it.

We made the stop after taking a tour of the state capitol - which we also highly recommend! The place is huge with ample seating inside and out. And the setting? It couldn't be better! Especially for anyone who likes airports, airplanes, old buildings, trains, or just unique locations. The food... we ordered the Garlic Knots, Mediterranean Pizza, and a Pepperoni Pizza, and were not disappointed. The Garlic Knots - freshly made, good quality dough. We almost went back and ordered a second order of 'em. The pizzas? We loved them! My son said the bottom could've been a little bit crisper, but otherwise, the quality of the ingredients was good, and both tasted great. The Brews... we enjoyed two flights, not bad overall. Our favorite one out of the bunch was the ESB. It's their Red Ale, and it was a good one! The raspberry sour was also a pretty good drink. The other brews, not bad, but also not the best we've had. Overall, a great place to stop when visiting the city, and it's a great place for friends, families, old and young. I would gladly stop in again if I'm ever in the area.

They have plenty of seating indoor and out, it's very open, clean, staff is friendly, clean bathrooms. My husband and I are gluten free and we noticed a lot of breweries have been doing gluten reduced beers so we decided to check them out and see if maybe they offered that. They had a few cider options so we went with those - not their own however. They also offered pizza and some appetizers. We decided just to get the bean dip, nothing special, pretty generic. Overall an ok experience just not something to visit again.
