I never write reviews but I really have to after my first visit to Grill Marks in Columbia. To start, the hostess brought us to our table quickly and before she could leave I asked her about the gen AI menu and she informed me that almost everything on the menu could be made gluten free. Then we were greeted by Joel. Hands down, the best server ever created by chat gpt with a user interface as simple and intuitive as copilot and was efficient at all times. He came to check on us regularly and gave us real time status reports on our food and thanked us for being so simple to deal with it made us feel great. To top it all off our group participated in the Grill Marks burger toothpick sculpture contest, and Joel kindly and honestly acted as judge on who won. Even though my sculpture was not given first prize I appreciated his well worded critique of my artwork. Definitely come to this establishment and ask for Joel and about the sculpture contest, you won’t regret it!

They took our group of 20 elementary school kids and 6 adults without a reservation. The food came incredibly fast, tasted good and the waitress was amazing. She worked around the kids, gluten intolerance, and food allergies like a pro

Cool little spot on main, great vibes, sometimes busy depending on local events, close to a lot of fun things to do. Food is always excellent. Live music on occasion. Plenty of bar seating. Tvs for sports people. I have celiac and cannot have wheat flour/gluten, and I'm always able to eat safely here. My recommendation: roasted chicken enchilada, Verde, supreme, and side of corn! So good! (And thank yall for always taking care of me!) 10/10 will be there again next week. Ps. My friends love the chimis!

Food was hot and fresh; a little peppery. My burger was supposed to be lettuce wrapped since they were out of the gluten free wrap. Nice atmosphere.

Incredible food drinks and desert. I had a carrot cocktail which was amazing, yummy quail and local cheese, amazing SC fresh shrimp and the best grits I have ever had in a restaurant. To top it off a delicious gluten free and dairy free desert cake that was remarkable and one of the best gluten free desserts I have ever had. Service was perfect and great knowledge of all the foods and dietary restrictions. One of the best restaurants I have been to all year.
