Restaurant Week: Great Meals You Don’t Have To Cook And Won’t Break The Bank

Columbia, SC (WOLO)– This week is all about trying something new. It is restaurant week in Columbia and more than 50 different hot spots to eat are offering some really cool deals to encourage people to try something different. Many of the places to eat offer multi-course meals at value-added prices, allowing foodies to try a wide range of casual and high end restaurants.

“It always brings in a  nice influx of people because everybody knows there’s awesome deals,” Christian Smith said, Manager of the kitchen at Pawley’s Front Porch. 

“I think restaurant week is very important because it gives people the opportunity to try things they normally would not,” John Rodgers said, who was eating at Publico. 

Many of the restaurants participating say that Restaurant Week boosts the number of people who come in to dine, giving the local economy a healthy bite.

“Oh yeah, every restaurant week, we always get a big increase in traffic. There’s a whole bunch of people out there ready to eat, to try new things and different things like that,” George Fore said, with Liberty Tap Room.

“I mean there’s a little bit of something for everybody,” Amanda Rollison said, a server at Cowboy Brazilian Steakhouse.
