Staff is always friendly no matter what time I visit. Been many times for ice cream about 30 minutes before close and get the same service that I receive during the middle of the day as well.

It's not the best Hamburger and French fries around but pretty good fast food. I always have to get me some Rush's when passing through Columbia. The service in the drive-thru today was excellent we had 4 orders and not one was messed up.

The entries at Rush's are always great, they have good food and good quality for the price. And the restaurant is always clean and well kept. But I wish they could improve their food order interface inside, it always seems confusing as to who will take your order versus customers standing around waiting for their order?

Love this place! We try to schedule our trips through Columbia around 12:00 so we can stop by and have the BEST Burger around. Our favorite order is the hamburger basket, no slaw, extra fries. Rush's is always clean!

My favorite place for lunch. I usually get the fried chicken basket but the burger and chicken sandwich baskets are good too. This particular location has a sweet senior citizen who comes around and refills tea and collects trash. Great place!
