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.

I'm allergic to tomatoes and it's been rather often that they ignore where it says "NO TOMATOES" on my mobile orders. They also ignore other add ons sometimes. Also the inside dining is almost ALWAYS closed. Definitely only come here if you're planning on going to the drive thru. It is fast food tho. So I can't expect too much. I just do wish at the very least that the cooks would pay better attention to add ons and special instructions.

Tray means a combo I believe. Like this is a foreign language. I got a regular cheddar style burger with onion rings and fries. I added a watermelon shake. Burger was good and it tasted like a backyard cook out. It was good. Fries and onion rings were below average salty and no other flavor. Watermelon shake was outstanding. Fresh watermelon and ice cream. It was very good. I'd go back for that. I went with a few people. Other people who ordered the burgers liked. The 1 person who ordered the hot dog said it was OK just very small. This location says it has a A rating. The dining area was clean. The staff was nice. Everything was OK. But not great. The shake was the best thing.

Don't get me wrong, the food at Cook Out is mediocre at best, but it's still one of the only fast food restaurants where you can get a large amount of food for a non-outrageous price. In terms of this particular location, the fries and nuggets weren't undercooked, which you can't say about every Cook Out in the area. Additionally, I love their Reese's Cup milkshake, and consider it one of my favorite desserts out of any fast food restaurant I've been to! As such, would recommend!

As I rolled into Columbia right around dinner time, I figured it was wise to dodge the worst of…read morerush hour by detouring through the city. 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.
