Liberty Tap Room & Grill

I was impressed with the food overall, only a couple of very minor suggestions. My wife had the smothered chicken and I had the fish and chips. Fish was crispy on the outside and flaky on the inside, not too greasy like some fried fish I've had in the past. The cole slaw was a bit dry in my opinion but that's just me, I like a creamy cole slaw. Their special chicken Nachos were a great appetizer as well as their loaded fries. Nachos were a very large serving. Both smothered chicken and the fish and chips were very generous portions. Had to take about half home. Overall, it was a great spot for lunch or dinner.

We were in town for a family member's Basic Training graduation so we wanted to take her somewhere with good food after having 10 weeks of "eh" food on base. Lol. So glad we chose this place! Great service from the hostess and our waitress!
We ALL loved the Taproom Chicken Nachos and the Baked Pretzels! I loved my Coconut Shrimp, my son loved his Freedom Burger (it has a fried egg on it!), and his girlfriend loved her Bleu Burger (it has bleu cheese crumbles and bleu cheese sauce on it!). The only disappointment was the awful Calamari my daughter ordered. It was VERY dry, hard as a rock, and had basically no taste....like cardboard. I can't believe it was even served to be honest. They felt like dry, stiff pieces of cardboard just picking each piece up. Maybe just an off night with it I'm thinking since all the other food was 10/10. Idk. I did let the waitress know though and informed her we didn't want any $ off the bill. But just letting anyone that reads this know to beware of it.
All in all, we were happy with everything else though. We will definitely be back!

Very clean establishment. They have a great sit in bar with comfy booths. Food was on point and served fast! Waited no longer than 10 minutes. Definitely will return.

Alannah service was the best. This was my first time at the taproom, and I was not disappointed. I ordered the Freedom Smash burger and it delivered. Two 4oz patties with bacon, lettuce, tomato, and my favorite a fried egg. Between the phenomenal service and great food...Like the great Terminator said "I'll be back."

The wings are fantastic (and I'm from Buffalo). Pizza real good. Jambalaya pasta was good but it could use a little more kick. Service was friendly.

We definitely visited them on a good night. My husband had the bourbon salmon along with a side of shrimp, rice and green beans. My daughter had the hawaiian chicken with mashed potatoes and rice. I had a shrimp and strawberry salad with a side of grilled salmon. There were no complaints from anyone of us. Food was cooked to perfection and tasted fabulous! The hushpuppies were also good! Great atmosphere, too! Service was wonderful and on point!

Can’t recommend this place enough. We were in a bind with a large group and they were so accommodating. The service was absolutely amazing— both servers were friendly, attentive, and helpful. The cocktails were great and I recommend the ahi tuna starter, fish tacos, and don’t skip on the wings! I’m sure this would be an awesome place during football season, too!

We enjoyed our meals, and the service and view were equally awesome. Highly recommend the mahi fish tacos, and the French dip. Both were excellent! Nice variety of food and beer on tap. Great place to enjoy lakeside dining.

My Fiancé and I enjoyed this restaurant as our first sit down meal in Columbia. We had soft pretzels to start, I had the freedom burger which came with 2 4oz beef patties, bacon, a fried egg, and a side of fries. She opted for a Caesar salad with extra chicken and both of us left full and satisfied. Our server Melissa was very kind and on top of everything. Once we move to Columbia this will definitely be one of our go to spots.

We walked in and were seated in less than 5 minutes. Our server was a little slow but our food was delicious. The wings with honey Sriracha sauce was finger licking good. Then we had the salmon with a honey bourbon glaze, green beans, collard greens and rice. The sauce on that salmon was the star of the plate. I could have poured that sauce over EVERYTHING and drank it from a glass. Because our server was slow, our entrées came out almost Luke warm at best. It didn't take away from the flavor so we just chose to eat it.

Everything was great! Parking is a challenge but there’s a parking garage nearby.

Food was great! The server was knowledgeable, friendly, & attentive. They had a Tuesday special going on, a margarita pizza for $9, well worth it!

Nicole was awesome! She is a great server. We were there for a celebration of life, and the staff was super accommodating! Thank you, Liberty Tap Room and Grill. Next time I'm in town, I know where I'm grabbing dinner and a cold beverage!

The food and service was awesome. Cassidy C our waitress was great. She had a good personality and was very friendly. We will be back and of course ask for Cassidy to be our waitress.

We hosted our rehersal dinner here on 10/20/2022 and it was AMAZING!! Chef Michelle was incredibly helpful every step of the way and helped us craft a menu that our guests are still gushing about. Get the chicken&waffles!! The food, atmosphere, and service are absolutely top notch. Libertys and its staff helped us kick off our wedding weekend in the most delicious and fun fashion and we are truly grateful. Book your event here or just a casual dinner out!!

1st time here. I was meeting a friend. We’re both from out of town and didn’t have a clue where we were going to eat in Columbia and were walking by and decided to try this place based off the picture. We were glad we did. The food was good and the venue was nice.

One of the best all around restaurants with bar we have ever ate at. One of the best Meatloaves that anyone could ever ask for. Not one thing on our table wasn't superb!! Will return to eat again. Anyone looking for a variety if food for their visit will not be disappointed!! Clean environment, polite waiters very knowledgeable about the menu and recommended the meatloaf. Very good choice!! Check them out and decide for yourself!

Absolutely loved this spot! We were headed to another chain nearby and just happened to see a few folks coming and going from Liberty so decided to try it instead. Soooo glad we did! We hit during the Happy Hour portion and enjoyed very tasty appetizers and house drinks at a great price. Our server was the perfect blend of attentive and helpful without being intrusive. Busy but not crowded, with attention to maintaining safety measures as part of our new normal. We had a nice secluded spot in the lower kind of back area with a few other diners all reasonably spaced. Will definitely visit again when in the area! Tip: go between 4-7 for lower priced appetizers and house drinks!

Great food and wonderful service. Ask for Austin, he's a great server! Not sure what the secret ingredient is in the honey mustard dipping sauce, but it's SO good

The food was amazing. My son and I came three nights before Christmas and the staff was very friendly. Our server, Rivir, was awesome and took care of us very well. I strongly suggest the shrimp and grits.
