Mr Friendly’s And Lounge

Our seating preference was gladly honored as we chose to dine indoors although the outdoor seating actually has a better atmosphere. My friend had that evening's special which was the Aha Tuna. So glad she gave me a bite because it was delicious! I ordered the Peach-Mustard BBQ Glazed Salmon which was outstanding along with the grits. The only low mark was the fried green tomatoes which were rather flavorless that night, but other than that, we really enjoyed our meal and had great service. Not your standard fare but a good burger is always available. Look forward to our next trip!

Our family loved the food, the staff worked us in seamlessly during a busy evening, and the service was excellent. A must visit in Columbia.

Loved the food, everyone we met/talked to was extremely nice (truly living up to the Mr. Friendly's title), and the space itself had a great vibe. 10/10 will be going back again soon.

We enjoyed our meal at Mr Friendly's. The Shrimp and Grits were wonderful as was the Spotted Trout. We finished with apple egg rolls that were amazing. The hostess and wait staff were friendly and very efficient. It was a lovely evening!

We had never been to Columbia South Carolina and we flew in from California. Followed restaurant recommendations from Instagram accounts. We made a reservation for Valentines Day. Our waitress was lovely and when we asked what Pimento Cheese is, she smiled behind her mask and said, You 're not from around here, are you? Then the owner?manager? came to our table and said, so, I hear this is your first time? and brought us a taste of collard greens (we 've never had it) and the pimento cheese. Our food was great and the atmosphere was FRIENDLY. I would go back for sure and recommend to everyone.
