“ This ain't no Pepperidge Farm commercial, but I remember Sunday supper at the cafe in the town where my Momma was born and raised in the Carolina pines. I done gone to Texas nigh bout 40 years ago. tldr; flounder, chicken fried steak, banana pudding, collards. Eating at the Lizard's Thicket tonight brought back all the memories. Kimmie was sweeter than the tea, which coincidentally was the best I've had in years. The fried flounder was so good and crisp and crunchy, I skipped the knife and fork. THEY HAVE REAL COLLARDS!! The black eyed peas were perfect. Momma hasn't been eating as much but she cleared the plate of chicken fried steak and rice and gravy. Y'all ... the white pepper gravy was not from a mix. Cornbread was just right and not sweet. The tea, by the way, was so good. It tasted different from what I'm used to in Texas - stronger, but not dark or bitter. The staff were wonderful. Learned a little about the history and the family that started it, so be sure to ask about the decorative plates. There's a family story in those decorations. Everyone was so nice and helpful; it really was a family atmosphere. I'll have to update this once I eat the blackberry cobbler. Was too full to eat it there. Mom also got a banana pudding to go. (Update: the blackberry cobbler was great, but the banana pudding was awesome! We went back several times and tried different desserts... but I would recommend the banana pudding over everything else. The pecan pie was great too but I'll miss the 'naner pudding the most.) We will be back and will make this a regular stop on our trip to Columbia. It's not a happy trip for us, as we're making some difficult decisions, but thanks to Kimmie and Lizard's Thicket, Momma and I shared memories of home and remembered what real Southern cooking should be. Thanks for making this a better trip for all of us. ”

“ Today, I decided to try breakfast at my local Lizards thicket in Irmo! Boy was I surprised when my French toast was made to perfection The eggs were scrambled with cheese and the bacon was on point too! I thoroughly enjoyed my Lizards thicket breakfast today!!! Serving breakfast until Noon! 5 Stars for you guys! ”

“ Ate here for breakfast not too long ago during a weekday morning. Place was not too busy. I seated myself and the waitress came by to take my order quickly. She was polite and made sure my order was right. I was especially glad bc as I am Carnivore now, and my food restrictions are a bit out of the norm. Food came out fast and just as ordered. Bacon and eggs were cooked perfectly and tasted delicious! Highly recommend!! ”

“ I have been eating that fried pound cake lately. I love the breakfast here. I come here with the friends the family alone. It's such a good feed when I need one. I can come here days in a row, and I actually do. It's close to home goodness. Some ice cream and perfect would exist here. open early and close a decent time about 9 ish. ”

“ I live in Spartanburg, SC and when I am working in the Columbia area or passing through I make it a point to stop at this specific store. The food is always great and service from Tiffany is always beyond outstanding. That young lady works hard and she treats every customer like they have just came back home and as if they are the only customer she has. I am so thankful for this store and for Tiffany. Do yourself a favor and stop by and enjoy a great meal and ask for Tiffany. ”

“ Thank you so much to our server Dorian and Robert the manager on duty, for such wonderful service and accommodating our request for breakfast. You went and beyond and that to me is the epitome of customer service. You are so appreciated and made our dining experience amazing. Kudos to you both and thanks a million. #YouDeserveARaise ”

“ Great food! Fast service! Large portions on all the food. Salad is awesome with lots of meat! If you like livers, on Tuesday, their fried chicken livers are great! Fried flounder is always cooked fresh to order and is great too! ”
