The Goat RiverSouth

Did a pick up order- lady working the host stand tonight (12/18), was super nice and double checked everything before handing it to me. Food was great and as ordered. Will come back when I'm in town again

Great location! I don't like to be negative, so I'm just going to lay out what happened and you can do what you want with it.

They greeted us right away and took us to the bar area to be seated. We were a large party of 8 so I appreciated the great service.
The restaurant was less than a quarter full. I asked if we could have the table next to the one they presented because it had more comfortable seats. All the sudden a lady popped out the back and then said they were going to love us. Ok, they moved us by the cold front door but ok, whatever. The table next to us was complaining to the manager for a bit so not sure why you would put us right by them when there were dozens of empty tables elsewhere...

They then got our drinks and took our order quickly. Then we waited, and waited, and waited. First person's food came approximately 30 minutes later. I was one of the first to get my food and my sweet potato fries were cold, but my happy hour hamburger was on point, would highly recommend that!

The last persons food came a good 7 minutes after the first persons and it included an appetizer that they got the same late time as their meal! Zero apologies or acknowledgment about the delay for this. I understand it's a larger party but at this point there was hardly anyone in the restaurant. Not sure why the big delay. If you are looking for a good spot to get a bite to eat and see the lights at the Columbus Commons this is a great location and very clean, just be prepared for a wait.

I was never refunded, for the record. Maybe it's petty to write again but I shouldn't have to call for a 4th time to get this sorted out. I know this was weeks ago but I think it's fair to update people and tell them that this issue was simply never sorted out.

Food and bev are still solid here, I wouldn't renounce that statement. But customer service is laaaaacking

Visiting from out of town and was looking for a bite to eat before a wedding locally. Came to the goat hoping for a quick meal and it was the complete opposite. We were sat immediately to a restaurant that was almost entirely empty except for 3 or 4 tables. It took 15 mins for someone to acknowledge that we were even here. Another 10 mins to get our drinks in which we only received one. We ordered our food when we ordered drinks and it took us 45 mins to get our meal. Don't get the wings because they will come out cold. Would've been better off going to the local McDonalds down the street. If I were you I would keep looking.

Decent location but parking can be tricky. The food itself was decent but the service was sub par. Waited for drinks for 20 min while the sever shot the shit with the bartender and we were one of two tables in the place for lunch. When I ordered ranch, he brought be bbq sauce??? How do you even ask for ranch again after that.... Was wild

The Goat - LC River South 3/5

This was my second time at this location, but my first time ordering a proper meal. I decided on the smokehouse cheddar burger. I asked for it medium and was served a well done burger & as a cherry on top the patty didn't even cover the entire bun.

Over cooked and small portions aside the burger was solid. Seasoned well, and it's hard to go wrong when you top a burger with bacon, onion straws and BBQ sauce. That being said the fires were actually really good. Seasoned well and cooked perfectly.

I don't think I'll be in a rush to come back for a meal, but if you find yourself here for drinks the food is a solid accompaniment.

Been here a few times because of work. The food and service are great. Tried their burgers and chicken tenders. They're amazing. Love the Brussel sprouts for the sides! But the food quality control could be better. There's a few times the food is over-cooked/burned. But overall, it's a good and chill place to hangout with your friends/family and coworkers.

food is good, but service is not. we were told we had to wait for 20 minutes and it ended up being 30 minutes, which isn't too bad. then we waited at least 30-40 minutes for our food to get here once we ordered. server never checked on us, did not bring out drinks we ordered until food arrived, and just seemed very disinterested in serving us. they seemed annoyed when we would ask for sauce or anything extra. they also split some of our checks incorrectly and added things we didn't ask for. Overall not a good experience and would probably just go to a different location for better service.

Ordered the Southern BLT and Tater Tots and the sandwich was decent but the tater tots were terrible. Wish I would've got fries.

Came for breakfast, really nice place. Ordered at the cafe' area and breakfast came to us. The coffee great, but the food...yum! Staff was really nice.
