This restaurant has a downhome feel. The servers are friendly and accommodating. The food is tasty. Although the fried chicken was a little dry. The cornbread dressing was excellent. And the cabbage was cooked to perfection. It's a great place for locals and tourists alike.

We stopped at this location of Lizard's Thicket for lunch while driving to Savannah. I had some of my youth group kids with me and we all loved the place! You cannot get a decent meal like theirs for the price. You get a meat and 3 sides for $11.99! They did have another menu available - one of my students ordered a BLT but without the L and T - so a bacon sandwich. Our server was fantastic and the entire staff was super friendly. This was very much a southern after church lunch hangout! It was busy but it did not take a long time to be seated and served. I definitely recommend giving this place a try if you're in the area.

Stopped here for breakfast when we were in Columbia on a rainy day. Ordered pancakes with apples, side of bacon, and collards. Collards were super delish, bacon great and apples on my pancakes really hit the spot. Waitress was sweet and accommodating.

Lizards Thicket never disappoints. It is a meat and 3 (or 2) of the very best southern food you can find. They are locally owned by a long time family in the Columbia area. The food is not fancy, just good food, good prices, good service, and portions that are consistently plentiful. For breakfast my wife had pancakes, eggs and bacon, while I had liver pudding, eggs, and hash browns. Everything was great!

Lizard's Thicket just sounds like an interesting place to eat when it rolls off your tongue. They serve up some delicious Southern food here at this chain in South Carolina. Our friends suggested that we dine here on our visit to the Carolinas recently, and we were happy we did! You name the Southern dish, they most likely have it here. Fried chicken, turkey, catfish, mashed potatoes, collard green, yams, cornbread, to name a few. I ordered the turkey with gravy with a few different sides at a reasonable price. The turkey texture wasn't my favorite, but I left full and satisfied! That cornbread though! Service was decent for how busy it was. We had three children with us as well and we found it to be very kid-friendly. I would come here again on a visit to the South Carolina area!
