New Year’s Day is Lizard’s Thicket busiest day of the year.

New Year’s Day is special at Lizard’s Thicket because it serves the special dish of collard greens and black-eyed peas. Tradition holds that the food brings good luck and wealth to start the new year.

There is a West Columbia and a Cayce Lizard’s Thicket. Cayce’s is at 501 Knox-Abbot Drive. West Columbia’s is at 2234 Sunset Boulevard.
