Soup in Columbia

“Very nice casual "fancy" place to eat before a show. Koger theatre and colonial life are right there within walking distance. My waitress was great although her name slips my mind. She was extremely busy but kept a great attitude. The food was ok for me. I did enjoy my salad, croissants and garlic butter broccoli but the chicken fell a little flat for me. Had great flavor but was a tad bit dry for liking, seems they could have put more sauce on it. Overall I'd go back and recommend this place.“

“I am impressed with the quality of the product at olive garden since I went there back in 2014. The salad + breadsticks were first-rate and so was the waitress!! The only sauce that I don't like was the triple cheese tomato sauce and it tasted like pureed baby food. Again, I am pleased with the service. ??“

“The food is great. There are so many things. They bring bread too, which is warm and delicious. There is a never ending soup, eat as much as you like! Salad, spaghetti, lemonade are all super. The atmosphere and service is great! When we went there and got the seats we didn’t want, we asked for new ones and they gave them quickly! The waiters are super kind and friendly. Go here any time we need to and when we can. Thank you Olive Garden! ?‍??️“

“we had too good of a time! we had a 14 top on a monday night. the table actually didn’t fill until closer to 8pm but every member of staff was still extremely friendly & welcoming even with most of the party being late. dustin (bar manager) who happened to still be in, was incredibly helpful with everyone’s specific taste & gave us plenty of options. the bartender, kayla was incredibly quick for how many of ago people we had at our table ordering all different kinds of drinks (i’m also a bartender & i was very impressed. not only at the timeliness but the presentation was great) our server ashley was very prompt & was able to answer any questions we had and was also able to give suggestions & allowed us to make as many customizations as we wanted. i’ve been in the service industry for a couple years as well as most of the table, i feel comfortable speaking for all of us, that we all had great time & genuinely have no complaints.“

“Everything about this place is truly great. Their food has never been less than delicious and their tea is homemade and sweet but fresh. 10/10 would recommend.Dietary restrictions: they mention these on their website. I have never needed to use them but I know they are available.“

“delicious food and they give a gargantuan amount of sauce which in my opinion is pretty awesome. the only reason this establishment is not getting five stars from me is because they put my noodies in a strange to go box. the first time i opened it i was baffled to find a large knotted cube in a small styrofoam container. still very delicious but makes it super messy in my fridge and counter and stovetop. best place in the area i would have to say after getting extreme food poisoning from all the other local spots.“

“Felt like Cafe style with privacy. Big place in Plaza in Harbison. I didn't know the menu too well as the store menu only had items no descriptions, so the order take was pleasant and patient with me. Food didn't take long cause usually when I'm starved it seems like forever and I was starved well we (heyKells) were.Vegetarian options: A few options are available, or you can make it so.Dietary restrictions: I'm on a diet and I ate here. Moderation is key people. ?Parking: It's a Plaza. It has in front of door and parking in the Plaza. Ask the parking is inside the Plaza.Kid-friendliness: Kids are welcome. It does seem like quiet like the library, though. Just my observation.Wheelchair accessibility: Available“

“Great place to grab Panera on campus. The employees are friendly and all know my name. The coffee subscription is unbeatable. Also the French onion soup is unbelievable. This used to be a full service Panera, but now USC has everything routed through an on-campus app from Grub Hub. In the beginning I loved this place, it's quite, clean and convenient. Once everything started having to be ordered through the Grub Hub Kiosk it became near impossible to get a meal here. At the peak times it's probably at least an hour to get your order, even when it's slow it takes a while. Please bring back ordering through the Panera app.“

“Came in with a $100+ order. There was a young guy working at the register. Poor people skills, not a hello, a smile, a welcome.I told him the first sandwich, how I wanted it etc. nice and slow. Then the rest of the order. He seemed to be in a rush because he kept trying to tell me the total without asking if that’s everything. Tried charging me extra for cookies when every cookie they sell has a pack deal. Why does it matter which cookies I want as long as it’s 4 total - no other Panera location does it like that but sure.Upon seeing the receipt I noticed for the first two sandwiches he didn’t add the right toppings. I asked him and he said it’s on there. Later on I had to tell the sandwich makers that I needed certain toppings on.The first part of the order were a couple soups and they weren’t announced that it’s ready. Nobody called out the name and it was chilling on the counter getting cold. The first two sandwiches were missing the chicken and extra cheese. That was the part of the order the cashier got right also. Upon realizing we got a messed up sandwich we brought them back and the girls in the back made them right right away.Overall they made it right after we told them the issue but shouldn’t have had issues to begin with. Straightforward order. Location was empty.“

“Dorty, who we didn't know was the manager, provided exceptional customer service for my family. And founding out this was our first time in Columbia South Carolina, made our decision to dine at Panera Bread wonderful and relaxing. Kudos to him and his staff. Situated right on the corner, it's truly an enjoyable place. Dining options were healthy and delicious ?. Staff "focus" was on their customers. Will definitely be back to eat there from the many choices on the street and in the area.“
