Houlihan's

This is by far the worst restaurant experience that I've ever had. I Placed my order and was served within 10 mins. The restaurant was empty, and that should have been a sign but I felt maybe rush hour was over. After taking 2 bites of my food, I noticed a roach crawling on my table. I quickly informed the waitress, who surprisingly said "well this is an old building". WTHeck. Then she asked me would I like something else?!! The nerve...The only thing I wanted was to get out of there, never to return. I will NEVER go to this restaurant again. Nor would I recommend it to anyone else

Columbus Marriott is a historic hotel with a fun restaurant attached called Houlihan's! Nice atmosphere with plenty of room at the bar, and an outdoor area if you're willing to brave the GA heat. I've frequented a few of times and have enjoyed their fried mushrooms, chicken piccata, club sandwich with fries, and salmon Caesar salad. They definitely have something for everyone on the menu. But my FAVORITE way to enjoy Houlihan's is just sitting at the bar having a drink and chatting. KayK is an amazing bartender who I can always trust to give me a delicious drink that packs a punch but hides the alcohol well. My favorite is definitely a hibiscus tea cocktail with gin and sour- so refreshing! So make sure you stop by the bar during your stay and enjoy yourself!

The food is top notch, and the wait staff & management are amazingly personable and hardworking. Be ready with some patience here, as is needed everywhere these days, because short staffing might make a wait even longer than normal, especially if your conference main hall gets out all at one time, which generates an impossible situation in any case! Have a backup carb in your pocket or purse if you medically have low blood sugar, but enjoy the anticipation otherwise. ... Worth the wait! Fave bfast dish, from a great chef, was today’s quiche. I insisted on taking pic of wonderful waitresses who opened it today… more abound! Was in town for conference so ate here several times. Dine in and carry out. Awesome salads all week, and cheesecake was to die for. Sorry no pics… I ate them all too fast! Waiter Chance helped me out by suggesting loaded mashed taters at the end of one particularly long day, when baked was no longer an option. Fabulous idea! Ultimate comfort food! Sooo tasty!

Chiiiiiile we had a BLAST! Our server DAMARIS was utterly phenomal! Fantastic poise and customer service, she made our experience A1! The food was DELICIOUS!Houlihan's most assuredly passed the vibe check. We will definitely return and I highly recommend this restaurant if you plan to visit Columbus, Ga.

The food is good and our waitress was great. I understand why people can be frustrated by the service. The first time the hostesses was overwhelmed eventhough the places wasnt that busy and then told us about issues they were having instead of just seating us with a smile. The next time we went we were seated and after 20 minutes of no one coming to our table we went to the bar to get water. We would of left if we weren't waiting for more people. The food we got on that occasion was good too. Looks like a management problem and an atmosphere of feeling overwhelmed. Side note the pitcher of alcoholic lemonade is really just a large Stine, but it was very tasty. They do have Happy hour with $5 Apps and drink specials.
