located for me, but I did make a note to do it if I were ever in the area at the right time:  I love a good Greek salad, and you have to respect the moxie of a place that puts \"Fat\" in their branding.<\/p>\n<p>The state of the place is a bit odd:  The insides are still fully intact and ready to serve tomorrow's customers, there is a <i>Now Hiring<\/i> sign out front, and there is no closing note on the door, yet there is already a real estate sign on the building and lot.  I hope the place remains a restaurant of some sort, and not another title loan operation.<\/p>\n<p>(Hat tip to commenter James R)<\/p>\n<p><b>UPDATE 22 September 2020<\/b> -- Now a <i>Nick's<\/i>:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"..\/pix\/20\/09\/p1660680.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"..\/pix\/20\/09\/p1660680_tn.jpg\" title=\"p1660680_tn.jpg\" alt=\"p1660680_tn.jpg\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"..\/pix\/20\/09\/p1660682.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"..\/pix\/20\/09\/p1660682_tn.jpg\" title=\"p1660682_tn.jpg\" alt=\"p1660682_tn.jpg\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/place\/3260+Augusta+Rd%2C+West+Columbia%2C+SC+29170\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/columbiaclosings.com\/pix\/misc\/world_map_icon.png\"><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1707],"tags":[2635,249,93,3,286,57,2636],"class_list":["post-14817","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-closing","tag-3620-augusta-road","tag-augusta-road","tag-greek","tag-restaurants","tag-us-1","tag-west-columbia","tag-woodberry-plaza"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/columbiaclosings.com\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14817","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/columbiaclosings.com\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/columbiaclosings.com\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/columbiaclosings.com\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/columbiaclosings.com\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=14817"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/columbiaclosings.com\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14817\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/columbiaclosings.com\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=14817"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/columbiaclosings.com\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=14817"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/columbiaclosings.com\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=14817"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
