a hamburger and french fries
Erik R.

Definitely a locals place. Clean restaurant with a friendly staff. Great tasting burgers and fries for a reasonable price. This place is better than the franchise with a similar name.

This was not the What-A-Burger I was looking for but I sure am glad I found it. Its small and cozy the staff is very friendly and most importantly the food is delicious. The food had that nice comfortable greasy spoon feel without being greasy. The portions were good the food was tasty. The fried shrimp had a nice crunch and good flavor and the rib eye sandwich was simple but it stands well on its own. The restaurant is small and though well kept you can tell that the years have take a bit of a toll on the facilities. Overall a great find if your looking for a good quick bite to eat.

I haven't been here in ages, but the burgers are still very good. The young lady taking my order was very friendly. And I swear they have the best French fries of any where else I have ever gone.

Cheeseburgers are always good, fries are cooked well. Quick service. This is our "go-to" place to eat when we are running Saturday errands

Just a fast food burger joint. Not really good, but edible. No better than any other fast food option.

Burger was dry, very thin patty cooked to death. There's other places to go for a better burger.

Zesto of West Columbia - Wings and tenders. Yummy!

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.

Only took me 42 years but my son and I finally had Zesto's for dinner. OMG what an experience…read more Chaotic when you order food but the staff has this down to a art when it comes to customer service. When we got our food I did not expect such large portions of food. The chicken is so good and delicious. I honestly don't have an excuse as to why Im a SC native and never been to Zesto's...please visit when you can. Enjoy!

It was a good size portion. The lady that took my order was nice. I would purchase it again, I'd also consider trying a different flavor. They had so many.

We had spent all day having a play date at the zoo splash pad so off course we had to end our play…read moredate with some ice cream. My son wanted ice cream and my daughter was insistent we get shaved ice and when I was looking for local spots Mannys Shaved Ice had the best reviews in the area and they carried both ice cream and raspados ( aka shaved ice). I was going back and forth between Mannys and just an ice cream spot and I'm so glad we picked here. Mannys Shaved Ice will become a frequent spot for my family. We went in figured out what we wanted and were given a number for our table. Service was friendly, there was a lot of seating available inside but they also give you the option to bring your treats out to you at your car. They speak both English and Spanish here and have so many Hispanic snacks I was in heaven- from elotes to dorilocos, fruta picada, churros, aqua Fresca and of course they had the raspados and ice cream and much much more. My daughter and her besties actually ended up going with some colorful ice cream and even added sprinkles, my son went with the cafe caramel shaved ice and when I saw they had Fresa as con crema I had to get it. The portions were huge and everything was delicious, tasted exactly how I've come to love these treats and price was worth every penny- it was truly a steal. Will be back soon.

For lunch, my husband and I decided to grab something quick while we were out shopping over the…read moreweekend. We went to Dave's Hot Chicken. This place has me excited when it comes to the "Dave's Not Chicken" menu. I ordered Cauli Dave's #3, which is 1 Cauli Tender & 1 Cauli Slider W/ Fries. This is so delicious! Everything has that perfect crispy and a taste that melts in your mouth. The sauce and honey make it just that much better. An amazing combination. My husband ordered the Saucy Bites W/Fries. He stated the meal was crispy and fulfilling. We also ordered the Small Cauliflower Top Loaded Fries. This was another hit for me! It comes with a cheese sauce, pickles and kale slaw topped with cauli bites and a drizzle of Dave's sauce. It tastes so good! If you have never eaten here or tried the cauli menu, please try it. I highly recommend it. As always great service and clean restaurant.

We stopped by around 8pm on a Wednesday night and we were told it would be a 45 minute wait. We…read morewanted to eat here so we decided to wait it out. Checking out was a bit akward as the cashier seemed a bit annoyed we stayed. I ordered the two piece tender meal and a side of mac and cheese. I ordered the tenders to be of a medium spice but was definitely given a spicier one as I could not finish my second tender... The mac and cheese was really good. The inside was clean and it ended up being a 15 minute wait, not 45. The chicken to breading ratio was great as it wasn't too breaded.
