"Mr. Friendly’s set the standard in Columbia, offering fresh, creatively prepared seasonal food, always with a Southern twist. Entrees like togarashi-lime roasted mahi-mahi with sweet curry lump crab, watermelon-cucumber salsa, toasted almond jasmine rice, and ginger-soy slaw keep diners on their toes. Fan favorites like bacon-wrapped filet mignon with the restaurant’s signature pimiento cheese, roasted garlic mashed potatoes, and seasonal vegetables keep regulars coming back for more. There’s always at least one carefully prepared, delicious vegetarian entree on the menu, which makes Mr. Friendly’s a great choice for an eclectic group. The friendly and knowledgeable staff is always ready with recommendations, and the tater tots served with lunch are legendary." - Anne Wolfe Postic
