This was honestly one of the worst dining experiences I’ve had. It took over an hour and a half for our food to come out. After receiving food our server realized she completely forgot to ring in one person’s meal. Then it took almost another hour just to get our checks. Not once did she seem apologetic or take any accountability.

The “Caesar salad” was just huge, uncut pieces of romaine with dressing dumped on top — no effort at all. Not to mention the prices were way too high for this level of service and quality. Definitely not worth it.

Our waiter was very good. Liked the atmosphere. A local pizza and beer place. A little sticky overall. Salads and sides were solid. Our two pizzas came out the same way – and bit undercooked and definitely very greasy. For convenience to campus and the college scene, it was fine.

Ordered a Caesar salad to go along with a pizza. The pizza was fine.

But I guess I didn’t realize the salad was going to come deconstructed and without salad dressing?
Kind of ludicrously disappointing considering it shouldn’t be hard to make just an average mediocre Caesar salad, but they somehow managed to miss that mark.

Thirsty Fellow was pretty good! I’d say the two best things about Thirsty Fellow were definitely the atmosphere, and its proximity to Colonial Life Arena. It’s a really convenient place to walk to after a game or event at CLA, and I loved how dimly-lit and relaxed it was, while still maintaining an old-school cool type of feel.

As for the food, I’d say that it was “good.” My pepperoni pizza and fries were above average, yet nothing particularly special.

All-in-all, I would definitely recommend Thirsty Fellow, and I’ll definitely be back in the future, probably during football season or after another event at Colonial Life!

We always wanted to try it so we ordered take out. Here’s what we shared among 3 adults.
Beer battered fish and chips: too greasy and too thick of batter for me. Lost fish in it.
Pretzel bites w cheese: good but not too special. Not worth $ but at least we tried it.
Sweet potato fries are good and loved the sauce to dip them in. Definitely would order again.
Fire stone pizza: we enjoyed chicken bacon w red sauce. Definitely would order pizza again.
*fish brought score down for me.

The TV’S and music were a little loud to hear over, but our waitress was so nice and patient and fast. The appetizer and food came out so fast and the restaurant was full! Great portion sizes and amazing homemade chips!

Got there shortly after they opened on Sunday-11:45? Seated immediately in the back corner. Waitress was very nice. Ordered a wedge salad and was told 15 minutes later they were out of wedge salads. Also had ordered our meals, a burger and medium pizza. 45 minutes later we got our food which was room temperature. Waitress came by a couple times saying they were waiting on our pizza, then a while later waiting on the burger and fries. Did this mean the pizza was waiting for the burger? Needless to say all was mediocre. We’re not complainers, but we did express our concerns to the waitress, and all she said was I’m sorry. We won’t be returning. Paid the full bill and left a decent tip @ 20%. Such a shame for such a potentially a fun place.

Philly steak tacos a must! Hoagie sandwich was delicious. Meatball sub was good but meatballs were little on dry side. Good taste over all. Friendly servers.

A Must-Visit in Columbia, SC – Thirsty Fellow Delivers on All Fronts!

If you’re anywhere near Columbia, SC, Thirsty Fellow absolutely needs to be on your food list!

The atmosphere was fantastic—spacious indoor seating and a vibrant outdoor patio made for the perfect backdrop to a special day with family and friends.

But let’s talk food—wow! The quality was excellent, and the portions were generous to the point of being overwhelming (in the best way). You’ll feel like you’re getting unbelievable value. On our server Skyler’s recommendation (a 3+ year Thirsty Fellow team member), I tried the made-to-order white pizza with mozzarella, caramelized onions, bacon, Peppadew peppers, basil, and a finishing drizzle of truffle oil. It was phenomenal—crisp on the outside, chewy on the inside, and the flavor combination was perfect deliciousness.

Everyone in our group of 14 loved their food! From the southern BBQ sandwich to the firecracker shrimp, grilled cheese with bacon, salmon salad, meatball sub, and pepperoni pizza, and more- there wasn’t a single miss.

Special recognition goes to Skyler, who provided exceptional service with speed, professionalism, and a smile. She kept our large group organized, gave timely check-ins, and made sure everyone got their meals without long waits. Food came out hot and in well-timed back to back waves—no small feat for a group our size. The entire staff worked together seamlessly, creating a smooth and joyful dining experience. Inside the restaurant is a great atmosphere and the restrooms are very clean.

This day was especially meaningful as we were celebrating my son’s graduation from boot camp at Ft. Jackson. Thank you, Skyler, and the entire Thirsty Fellow team for contributing to such a memorable evening with flawless service, delicious food, and a fun, relaxed vibe.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ — Highly Recommend!

Really good pizza! The small is enough for 2 people and really cheap! Super friendly bartenders too. I’m glad I don’t live here or I’d weigh 300 lbs from eating their pizza every day!
