I have been going here since I was 12 years old growing up in Cola. Live in CO now so when I visit SC, Rush's is an absolute must! The burgers are second to none and the nostalgia gets me every time when I visit. This place is a local chain and been around for years. It is a must try when you come to Cola, SC. Enjoy! read more

Rush's - Double cheeseburger. My all time fav! - New American Near Me - Columbia, South Carolina

This place is always a gamble. Good luck with trying to get them to understand your order correctly at the drive thru. You have to shout your order several times and then, it's still wrong. Be sure to check your order before you leave! read more

Food usually good, although I am not a fan of the chicken. Yeah, I know, they're supposed to have gathered a positive rep with the fried gechicken. Always dry to me. Occasionally lately my order has been messed up, or an item not quite as good as usual. But, if one eats out as much as we do, you're gonna have that happen. Rush's is always clean and the rest rooms are usually in good shape. I think they try. read more

I ordered the fried chicken. You could tell they were not necessarily fresh. The service was alright. This place hasn't changed much in years! read more

Rush's is always a nice treat when I'm in the Columbia area. Back in my college days, I ordered to go from there quite a few times. I'd never eaten inside of Rush's before, but on this trip, my mother, sister and I ate inside. We received great service. The customer service was on point for our visit for sure. Although it was busy as the lunch rush was in full swing, all the customers were taken care of quickly and respectfully. The food was delicious as well. I always order a double cheeseburger and fries, which never disappoints, and the slaw enhanced the flavor of the burger. My relatives enjoyed their food and my mom, who had never even heard of Rush's before our visit, brought it up a few days later as a possibility next time we're in the Midlands. I wish Rush's would expand to the Charlotte area! read more

Three stars is for the previous time. Went thru drive thru, hot dog basket was awesome. Today cars were wrapped around building, barely moving. Went inside where we waited over 10 minutes for someone to take our order. We were next in line. Finally out of frustration, we left. read more

This is the second time I got screwed by this place. First time, they didn't give me my change back. The second time, the didn't give me all of my order. Cheated me out of a hamburger that was on my receipt and the lady that took Amy order, even called it back to me correct. I normally check my stuff before I leave but this one time I didn't. Was going on good faith. It use to be good. I will NEVER go back to this Rush's again. Oh! Also. I tried to call their phone to complain to them and tell them what they did and the number listed does't even work! What kind of business is this when you can't even call the place to to speak to a manger or someone?! Again. Like I said. I will never go back to this Rush's again. read more

Flavor of the chicken was pretty decent & it was juicy which I like. The fries were okay, some were a bit soggy. I enjoyed the milkshake. It's not a bad size for under $3. Would I come back? Possibly so long as the line isn't ridiculously long. I placed my order online and still had to wait at the drive thru since the dine in area was closed. It does seem like they're more known for burgers though. *FOOD DID NOT COME WITH A DRINK* read more

Huge burgers with a crazy amount of fries. What else can you hope for. I mean service is good too.

Came back to try the milkshake and hot fudge cake. Oreo milkshake is literally all milk. So bad. The hot fudge cake tasted like a Suzy Q and there wasn't much ice cream or cake . Not worth the $7 read more

Rush's is a staple in Columbia. The employees are nice, provide good customer service and the food is good. Lately the hours changed for each location so you never know when they are open. This should be addressed by management and hours should be posted. read more

Very mediocre food to say the least. The double burger was pretty tasteless and the fries were soggy. The Cole slaw was just okay and the apple turnover was mediocre. For $11 with no drink included, you're much better off going to Chick-fil-A or Cookout next door. I know that I'll never be setting foot inside another Rush's. read more

The cheeseburger reminded me of Sonic. The patty was precooked, not much flavor, and way more bun than meat. It was underwhelming overall. read more

Rush's - Cheeseburger - New American Near Me - Columbia, South Carolina

Very tasty! My daughter and I made our first trip here. I had the chili cheeseburger and my daughter, the deluxe chicken filet. Everything came out hot and fresh. The staff was very friendly! We will be returning! read more

My food was ready really fast. Which is probably why my fries were not very hot, but they were still good. My burger was great and the lady who took my order at 11 at night was awesome and patient. I've always loved Rushs! read more

Rush's - Burger and fries - New American Near Me - Columbia, South Carolina

Not sure if they got a new cook or recipe but their fried chicken is amazing! Love the food !

The cashier acted like we annoyed him with our order and service. I even smiled and said thank you, my 5 year old son said thank you and the cashier maintained the same scowl face the entire time. Couldn't be bothered enough to even utter one word to me the entire time. Food was cold, fries soggy and gross. Never going back. read more

Having a toddler means that drive thru won't always suffice. We wanted to sit in the dining room. 11:20am on a Monday and the door was locked. Why is the dining room closed? We left. read more

First time visiting this restaurant...not overly impressed with the chicken. I bought an 8pc chicken box only. I have had better for more and less money. Would I give this place a try again possibly, my daughter would most likely order a cheeseburger. I did appreciate how they informed me another batch was cooking now and if I wanted to wait on it. read more

She said..."I would give this place 5 stars, but I'm not in love with their burgers, they are good...but I would choose sonic burgers over this place. However, this place has really good chocolate milkshakes, like really good!! Creamy, thick, chocolate-y. The fries are really good too, they taste like the old fashioned fries that Wendy's used to have. Wish we had a rush's closer to home." He said..."Hmmm...their burger basket is so good...and their chocolate shakes are the best in town. They have only a handful of locations throughout the Columbia metro area, if you want to call it metro. They are very old-fashioned and use the microphone speaker for the line cooks to prepare the food. This place is really good and beats the Wendy's next door." read more

Fabulous food... fast! There's not much to choose from on the menu, but maybe that's a good thing. Quality seems to falter once you've tried to stretch yourself too thin but that's not an issue here because with only a handful of selections more care can be given to the product. It feels almost like part diner - part fast food. You won't find gourmet burgers here but what you will get is really good food, really good portions, and a really good price. Fast! read more

Hanging with my kiddos and they enjoyed the food. They said they loved it. They liked how the burgers had the right amount of mayo on it. They also really enjoyed the milkshakes. Good spot for family dinner. read more

Never have gotten a bad meal! Love the chili cheeseburgers and chocolate milkshakes! I've moved to kentucky but love coming back and eating there just about every day I come back. My wife loves the chili cheese dogs! Wish they would branch out to other states! read more

Rush's - Yumny - New American Near Me - Columbia, South Carolina

I was getting a late night order and my order was given to another customer by mistake. The manager took great care to make it more than right. You don't get that kind of service from other drive thru restaurants. Thank you read more

Don't go! The service was the worst I've ever received ANYWHERE. it was approx. 7:30 PM, 7/28/21. My order was "hamburger basket all the way, hamburger basket plain, and cheeseburger basket m/k/x-pickles". Then I tried to change the plain basket to "mustard & ketchup". The girl repeated to me "1 all the way, 1 plain, 1 mustard & ketchup, and 1 cheeseburger" (4th hamburger added). I explained to her that the plain one was supposed to be mustard/ketchup, and she said "we got your order". I tried to repeat the order, and she interrupted me again saying "we got your order", with a hateful attitude in her voice this time. I rode around to the window and when she handed me my food, she just stared at me, didn't say thank you, come again, screw you, NOTHING. And yes, THE FOOD ORDER WAS WRONG WHEN I DROVE OFF. She was the most rude individual I've ever encountered in food service. I understand that no one's applying these days, and that employers are working on skeleton crews. There were three people working the kitchen, with a 30 minute line out front (plus the one guy on break, clearly eating/drinking at a table in the closed dining room during the middle of rush hour). Skeleton crews don't excuse rudeness, racism, bad service, etc. She had all of these elements. If the owners were to go back to video (and I know they do), and if the video has audio, they will clearly see and hear their horrible employee in action. I will NEVER go back to that Rush's - there's too many other options to choose from on the N.E. side of Columbia. read more

GOD!!!' Best food!!! Easy simple pick menu is not hard at all and everything was spot on, I want some more fries though, I'm fat.

My husband ordered our lunch online, and when it said it was ready he drive out there, to pick it up. He waited 30 minutes in the drive thru line for our order just to be complete messed up!! We didn't get our drink for mine, my daughter and I's burgers were completely wrong and our food was cold. We live less than 10 minutes away. Just really bummed out , because we heard a lot of great things about this place:( read more

on any forms of maps it says the store closes at ten o'clock but apparently they're now saying they close and eight and have yet to update store hours i used to go here regularly but have stopped due to the poor service and the ridiculous wait time read more

Stay away from this place after 9 pm. They serve cold over priced burgers. The meat was not cooked through. Go home make your own burger.

For a fast food chain--albeit a local chain--this place is pretty amazing. My wife and I needed to grab a quick bite before heading home to Florence. I'd heard good reports about Rush's. But we don't often eat fast food. We took a chance, and we're glad! My wife had the hot dog basket with a milkshake. I had the barbecue sandwich (pit-cooked, pulled mustard based). All I can say is we will return. No frozen food, and it was reflected in the quality. Great prices and quick, efficient service. read more

I was at the Broad River Road location this evening at 8pm when two male employees were behind the counter. One male employee began hitting the other employee in the face repeatedly . I called the police to report the assault and notified the manager I had done so. She told me she was handling the situation and that I should not have done that. She would not give me her name and said she would not be talking to the police. The police did come, she did speak to them after she saw them talking with me. She came over and interrupted to let them know she had "handed" it. I hope this establishment realizes the severity of this situation and apathy/disrespect the manager showed a customer trying to do the right thing by reporting an assault. read more

Very solid hamburger and hot dog fast food joint. Better than your standard national chain. Busy with students and working-class people during lunch time. read more

Love love love the slaw dogs - wife claims the chicken sandwich as her favorite (w/o pickles). Super fast service and excellent food.

Great local burger. Please come to Texas. Had to stop by while we were visiting home in SC. Will be back, I promise. Love the cheeseburger basket read more

I love everything (except fries, fried chicken good) just don't really eat much deep fried foods. BBQ, slaw dogs, hit fudge cake yum. Bring me a cheeseburger w/everything & a chocolate shake...I'm a happy momma! read more

Place is getting worse. They used to be on it but now slow and lazy. Waited at drive through only one there and no one came to take my order. Place wasn't busy. Go down to chic fil a and they are packed. They are packed because of their great service, something rushes is starting to miss. Management needs to buckle down and make some tough decisions or they will be out of business. read more

Wow - this place has changed over the years. My sister and I dropped in for lunch with our 4 boys while visiting my mom in town. We walked in and ZERO smiles. The staff is young, HS aged at best, which was to be expected. However absolutely NO customer service skills and TONS of attitude. My young cashier acted as if she was doing me a favor by taking my order. As we walked away with $60 worth of food, a man came into the store and asked about his order. He apparently pulled up in the drive-thru to place a large order and was asked to pull up to wait for his food. 75 minutes later he came inside to check on his order that they hadn't started prepping. He waited an additional 10 min for his order. Needless to say, he already paid while in the drive-thru and wasn't offered a discount nor refund. Food was descent and reminisced of the old days, but the entire staff at Rush's, including Management, need an attitude adjustment of the RVP kind. read more

I ordered a hamburger basket with bacon, no mustard and no tomatoes. I get my sandwich and it had mustard on it. I let them know and they "fixed" the sandwich. I saw them get new onions and bread but I could not see everything that was done...but I assumed everything was new. I almost finish the sandwich and I open it and I see mustard on it. The original bacon had some mustard on it still. I would have asked for my money back if it wasn't for the fact that I ate most of it. If they didn't want to completely make a new sandwich, they could have been competent enough to make sure everything with mustard was thrown away. Not to mention, my husband's chicken tasted like it was fried in old grease. Never again will we go back to Rush's!! read more

My family had just traveled from a memorial service in Florence, SC for my brother-in-law )who actually worked in this very Rush's years ago). We had over 20 people in the home after the service that were very hungry. I decided to go to Rush's because they are open until midnight. I arrived exactly 30 minutes before closing. I asked the cashier if it would be to much for me to order 24 pieces of chicken being that the store was near closing. She told me that she had to get special permission from the manager. Without hesitation the manager come out of the back and started preparing the chicken. I just want it to be known that I'd had a very tough day and that one kind gesture from the manager and friendly customer service from the cashier warmed my heart. I would recommend this location to anyone!!! read more

On Sunday I went to Rush's and when I got home my order was incorrect. I immediately called back and was told by a manager (woman) that she wrote my name down and she would replace my entire meal. She also said I could come back another day. Fast forward today my husband goes to pick up our meal with my 4 year old son. He was told it would not be able to be replaced by a manager (male). So at this time the District Manager was there and he communicated from my husband to the DM...h.e didn't want to come talk face to face with my husband. So away this point you have humiliated my husband about a conversation I had with your manager. Finally I was told they needed a time that I called. I sent a screenshot with the time and date. Then they awarded us by giving us what they wanted us to have instead of what I was promised. At this point it's not even about the food anymore, but definitely about being disrespected and humiliated over chicken. I will never visit this location again. read more
