chow in Columbia SC

[Zwalluw]

Just had a nice meal at Mr. Friendly's with friends from Slovenia and Mass. Great grits and pecan crab cakes. Bean and Ham stew excellent also. Thanks to previous hounders for steering us in the right direction. By the way, none of the staff at our two hotels had heard of most of the Colombia places mentioned here on Chow Hound.

If your back in Cola town don't miss Hampton Street Vineyard. Seasonal menu and fantastic wine list.

I'm not sure where you stayed in town, but few of our hotels have good reputations... Glad you enjoyed Mr. Friendly's--one of my faves!

Well, thank goodness for chowhound.com! I'm a big fan of Mr. Friendly's - glad you enjoyed it.
