Columbia's Crispiest Neighborhood Joint

Golden Fried on Broad River Road is Columbia's no-frills comfort food staple — generous portions, honest prices, real care every order.

I had some really good hot, crispy, golden chicken gizzards. They were the star of the show. I actually ate quite a few before I took the picture. It comes with a lot along with your choice of fried rice. They came out fresh, perfectly seasoned and cooked just right.

So this is my third time coming to this restaurant I had the shrimp lo mein the first time and that was so good hot and fresh and then this is my second time in a row getting a two-piece dark chicken is amazing golden and the fries are amazing.
