Lizard's Thicket Restaurant 3147 Forest Drive, Columbia, SC 29204

"Jennifer was our server. She was wonderfully attentive. Fried chicken, salmon patty, ham, fried catfish were absolutely fantastic! Also the Mac and cheese, yams, squash casserole, and cabbage were wonderful! We weren't fans of the Alabam slaw...but to each their own. We ordered the blackberry cobbler and banana pudding that were heavenly! Real sweet tea was the best we've ever had. We will be back tomorrow for a real southern breakfast. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!"

"First time going here. I was greeted upon entry. I placed my order over the phone and it was ready within 15 min, no problems over the phone or at pick up. The host was nice. They don't have military discount but I ordered the country fried steak, green beans, onions and a sweet tea. The tea was sweet! The food was bomb, the steak gravy was a little bit salty and there wasn't a lot of onions in the gravy, I was expecting the gravy to be white because of the picture I saw but it was still good. The cabbage and green beans was exactly what I was looking for! Not overcooked or under but perfectly cooked and seasoned. The bread was a lil dry for me but tasted good! I got this food to go but will def be back to dine in and try more."

"I come to this location every time I come home to visit my mom. I understand the size of items tend to get smaller as time goes on but COME ON . The last few visits ( multiple locations) Ive notice that pork chops are TINY and THIN . Last night I purchased food for my family & myself . Their food was great . Hot & fresh but I couldn’t say the same about mine ( Porkchop, Mac&cheese , Ricexgravy ) The porkchop was small and OLD . I had to go Back and get another order . I can tell that the porkchop is left out before cooking and it’s drying out . I doubt I will return ."

"The food was so good! We were traveling through the area and this was close to where we were staying so we went for dinner. Our waitress was quick and very friendly. We had fried catfish, Mac and cheese and beans. Everything was amazing! The food was so good we went back in the morning for breakfast and had catfish again."

"Pretty decent breakfast. The country ham was nice and salty. I ended up taking all the fixing from the plate and built a pretty decent sandwich. Ordered a burger on the side based off previous reviews. The burger was very generic and dry. However the buns they use are quite delicious. The server kept calling me “babe” and “baby” which was really not appreciated, especially given my wife was clearly on FaceTime with me. Maybe it’s a geographical thing for the area I’m not used to but it made for a really uncomfortable experience. The ketchup bottles and table were a little dirty. Nothing crazy I couldn’t wipe down myself."
