Mr Friendly's New Southern - Columbia

Mr. Friendly's exceeded all my expectations, leaving us with happy bellies and big smiles. This family-owned treasure has a warm, local atmosphere that really adds to the experience.

The fried shrimp appetizer was delicious, although the breading tended to come off easily. I really enjoyed both the fried chicken and the salmon. The mixed drinks were...

My experience at Friendly's was fantastic! It was our first evening in town, and I had made a reservation for the four of us for dinner. I was excited because we were there to celebrate my son's graduation...

This is my favorite spot whenever I’m in South Carolina. I particularly enjoy the meatloaf and the fried flounder dinner, but everything I’ve tried there has been delicious. The service is excellent as well. It’s a Southern food restaurant with a creative twist, and I absolutely love the flair!

We hadn't visited Mr. Friendly's in a long time, but for our date night, we decided to make a reservation and give it another try. It was fantastic, and we couldn't help but wonder why we hadn't come back sooner. Although we now live in Lexington, the drive was definitely worth it. My wife ordered the tempura flounder, while I had the fried chicken, and both dishes were delicious. It won't be long before we go back again!
