Baker's has been a solid lunch spot for me recently. The staff is always friendly, especially the…read morebartender who always takes great care of us. It's the typical sports bar vibe. Got plenty of TV's to watch the games on and got a few arcade machines if that's your thing. The food is always solid. Whether it's the Lemon Pepper Wings (not pictured) or their Beef Philly all the way , it's always made fresh and seasoned perfectly. If you're looking for aesthetics, this isn't your place, however if you're looking for a "Cheers" type vibe where folks know your name and you can get some great food, this is your spot.

This was my first time at Baker's. I met some friends here. At first I was a little hesitant to eat…read morehere but my friend reassured me that the food was actually good. I was still like "we'll see about that". Parking wasn't too bad. Being that it's on the perimeter of Columbia Mall or what was Columbia Mall, there's parking surrounding the business. It wasn't too packed which was great. We walked in and sat ourselves at a table. The waitress came over and greeted us within a few minutes. I believe they have happy hour in the price of $3 for their house liquors. The drinks are made well. The menu had a bit of a variety and it was hard for me to choose what I wanted because everything seemed like it would be tasty. After placing an order, the salads came out within 10-15 minutes, then the appetizer and right after the entrées. The food was hot. I ordered the egg rolls and the sweet and spicy wings. I wish the appetizer, which were the egg rolls, would have came out sooner as they were warm than hot, but they were good and came with a specialty sauce. It had a light kick but was tasty. The wings were good and hot. The sweet and spicy sauce had a good taste. I wish they were crispier as I requested. The fries were so good! Hot and seasoned well. The salads looked great as well but I did not have those. Their chicken club sandwich looked good as well and my sister said it was delicious!

I'm immediately greeted at the door by Abby or Hannah, with a warmly affectionate nickname that I honestly earned. They know what I drink and have a decent idea of what I'll be eating. Kat walks in and it's like family just arrived home. Everyone is great. Seriously. Shay and Megan are amazing people I'm just getting to know, and literally everyone they hire makes the place great. Why did I put so much into this review? Because you deserve to be in a welcoming and fun environment too. Oh and get the fking White Russian sandwich. Don't even look at the menu first. Go see the team at The Yard. They're killing it.

I went to The Yard on two (2) occasions. The first time, shortly after the restaurant opened, was…read moreabsolutely terrible. When I say terrible, I mean it could not have been any worse. My friends and I went during the NCAA Basketball Tournament, hoping to be able to watch all of the games at once. However, rather than having any of the basketball games on, they literally had a replay of an NFL game, a volleyball game, a TV that had timed out, and some kind of documentary on the other TV. When we asked our server if they could put the games on, we were told that they were unable to change the channels on the TV, as it was some kind of streaming service. Furthermore, we placed an order for drinks, and after sitting there for about fifteen minutes (15) minutes, got up and left after not seeing our waitress after that. If I were simply judging by this experience, I would have given The Yard negative stars if possible. However, my friends and I returned to The Yard to watch the NCAA Women's Basketball National Championship, and had a much better experience. It seemed that they were able to get the TV situation worked out, and we were actually able to get drinks this time. I know that this is the bare minimum for a sports bar, but they did show marked improvement from the first time that we went there. Our server, the bartender, and the hostess were all very nice, and I really liked the interesting sports regalia that was hanging on the walls. Overall, I'm going to give The Yard a generous three (3) stars, mainly considering the context in which my experiences took place. I hope that my first visit was simply a matter of needing to work the kinks out, and that future visits will be more in line with how my second visit went. I've yet to try their food, so I'll probably come back at least one more time, which'll serve as the tiebreaker as to whether The Yard is a worthwhile stop or not.

TLDR; Don't order the vegetarian/ bean patty unless you absolutely LOVE beans…read more I ordered a BD's All American burger (to go) with a grilled bean patty. Hated it. The patty was over an inch thick and consisted of nothing but beans and bean-mush. Would've been nice if a few other veggies were mixed in. As a selective vegetarian- I love bean mush- however, it was incredibly overwhelming on this burger. Would definitely try the impossible burger next time instead. I got a side of sweet potato fries, they were soggy, subpar. A regular fry accidentally found its way into my order and it was SO much better. I'd definitely give this place another try & order the impossible burger with regular fries/ tots next time. I wouldn't recommend the bean burger to my worst enemy. Our to-go order was ready at the exact time the restaurant quoted so that was a plus.

I don't have words for the spinach dip. Apparently it tastes fine (not my order, but in our party). I'm just not sure what the top cheese was doing. I won't write them off.

Touchdowns is a fun enough bar. It's definitely a lot more corporate than the other bars in Five…read morePoints, and is lacking in a distinctive personality. With that being said, it is a fun place to stop by and grab a drink, and you can actually taste the liquor in their cocktails, which you can't say for every bar in the area. I will also say that their bartender (I'm unsure of his name) does a great job and is always very nice and friendly. A lot of times bartenders come off as very arrogant and seem like they hate their lives, but I love how interactive he is and how he always seems to be having a great time. All-in-all, I would describe Touchdowns as an average bar with a great bartender!

This was my first time trying out this restaurant. I had always heard they had great food, so of…read morecourse, I had to try it for myself. My husband decided we should test it out today, so we ended up grabbing the food as we had a couple plans for today. My husband ordered the Reuben Sandwich. It came with Truffle Parmesan Fries. He stated the taste was very flavorful, the meat was tender, and he fell in love with the truffle fries. They didn't stand a chance! Now here comes the funny part:) I told him I wanted the Black Bean Burger without the lettuce and tomato, but instead he ordered me just the patty with cheese and mayo with no buns! Instead of him asking the correct way, he asked for it as just the patty only, haha I was too tickled to be mad. Even though he missed it, it was so good! That was the best black bean patty I had in a long time. It was well-prepared and delicious. Yes, I also have the Truffle Parmesan Fries and they tasted amazing. Hot, seasoned to perfection and irresistible! Once I saw the salmon, I had to try it. Omg, that salmon was prepared perfectly, juicy and mouth-watering. The food was on point I must say. Hubby stated customer service was amazing as well. The restaurant was well lit, had a great atmosphere and overall a great spot to dine with your friends. We will definitely be heading back soon to dine in and try more food:)

The way he was eating that burger and rolling his eyes at the back of his head, haha I knew it tasted miraculous. He stated it was juicy, flavorful and the homemade pimento cheese was delicious. We also tried the Hush Puppies with cinnamon butter, and they were so good it's hard to just stop popping them in your mouth! We also ordered the Dijon Encrusted Salmon sandwich and all I can say is it was good and scrumptious:) I am so full you can imagine how many typos were in this review, haha.

It would be crazy for me not to have round two:) It was too crowded for pictures, but customer service was good, the place was clean, and the restaurant was packed! Overall, I enjoyed everything.
