New American Restaurants near West Columbia, SC

“They went out of their way to seat us even though we didn’t have a reservation, our server Rose was so kind and helpful, and oh my goodness the Burrata Crudite special was SO GOOD. I’m so sad it’s just a special. If yall see this review, please bring it back sometime! Great experience.“

“So far it's been great. Ordered their fried whiting (9/10)with fries(7/10) and the seasoning on the whiting was pretty good. I do feel they should include more fries with the order, however for the price it was a steal. The fish comes with your standard run of the mill roll (5/10). their macaron (8/10)i is pretty good as well. Ordered through DoorDash“

“I stopped by this cafe while I was in town for the day. What an excellent choice. We were seated outside, and I loved the atmosphere. We ordered the brisket hash, hangover hashbrowns, and grits bowl. Everything was on point. Service was pleasant. I'd recommend and definitely come back if I'm ever passing through again. I forgot to take photos but grabbed this beautiful mural on the way out.“

“I would love to give a special s/o to Marco a.k.a Marco Polo, he was hands down the best server I’ve encountered in a while. Although we had a rough time with seating accommodations the managers were very understanding and made sure that my daughter enjoyed her 17th Birthday!! Thanks again for all your helpParking: N/A“

“My bartender Felisatie greeted me with a smile and told my what the beer special of today was. She took my drink/food order in a timely fashion and made sure that my food order was complete before she enter it in the cash register...Hey pleasant personality is extremely rare nowadays.“

“Tombo Grille has become one of my favorite hidden spots. Richard introduced me to this hidden jewel a few months ago. It's back in the cut on Forest Drive and has a unique vibe. There's a bar upon entry and seating throughout. It's not a large space, which makes it more intimate for couples or small parties. They have daily specials, but also a full menu. I ordered a house salad, which was really good. The lettuce used was cut nicely, and the ingredients were fresh! My entree was the chicken parmesan, and it was delicious. The chicken was tender, and there was plenty of sauce and cheese, but not overbearing. Richard ordered the riveted, which he is a filet person, but the ribeye was very flavorful and tender even cooked well done. His sides were the collards and German potato salad, which he said was pretty good. We really wanted to try the salmon, but they were out.Our server was great, very engaging and attentive. Great food, great service, great atmosphere!“

“The BEST filet I’ve ever had! We continue to dine at Saluda’s and we’re always extremely happy with our meals. Delicious!!“

“Overall everything was delightful but server was pushy with tip and not honest about gratuity that was included and fabricated that gratuity went to the bartender. I played his game as I will not be returning again after spending over $300. The owner was semi apologetic but didn't offer any resolution.“

“Excellent food and service. Will be back!“

“Excellent food and service is always amazing!“

“Server was very friendly and awesome.“

“The food was very good, but there are limited choices for both starters and mains. The wine list has lots of options and are reasonably priced. However, I was very disappointed with the customer being allowed to bring a dog into the restaurant. The valet parking is a nice perk.“

“It's a cool bar/restaurant in an old repurposed building. Dark and rustic on the inside with an interesting menu and their own craft brewed beer. We ate and drank prior to a performance at Drayton Hall and will do so again. Frankly, I can't wait to go back.“

“Great dinner with great service. Excellent food with different specials. My lady got the lobster ravioli, and I had a ribeye . We had fried green tomatoes for an appetizer. The resaurant had a chicken Wellington as the dinner special that I'd like to go back and try (I was just craving a ribeye this night). The Jazz band they had playing music was also excellent.“

“The food, service, and atmosphere was off the chain!!! Great place to eat and hangout!!!“

“I waited a little longer than expected for my food due to a little hiccup in the kitchen but everyone FOH bent over backwards to make it right! My pup and I enjoyed a little more music than planned and loved every minute of it. Visiting a restaurant in Columbia with an engaged team and caring owner was a lovely surprise!The pizza was very homemade and very delicious. Artisanal maybe?“

“This was a fantastic meal experience. There was a large variety of food both breakfast and lunch options. There was salad and fruit stations. The desert station was amazing. You could make your own omelet as well. All of the staff was super friendly and attentive. The set-up is nice in how the tables are set to showcase the views and still leave plenty of room for walking around the circular room. We took my mom for early mother's day and she loved it. Come hungry! We were stuffed and you cannot beat the price for a large buffet!“

“I have never had anything bad at Rush's. Its just really good comfort food. Chilicheeseburger is wonderful. Beware that they put Lettuce and Tomato on it. I just prefer mayo, onion instead. The place isn't anything fancy but it is a very friendly atmosphere. They also have vinegar on the bar where the napkins and straws are. I mix a little salt and pepper with vinegar and dip my fries in the mixture. Actually it's pretty, pretty good...Parking: Rush's are all over Columbia and Lexington and while they are always busy, there is lots of available parking.“

“Amazing atmosphere. Classic interior with spinning chairs. I have been here a lot. The employees were welcoming and the food came out quick. Good food and amazing ice cream. I look forward to going here every time I pass through Columbia.Parking: Always crowded. Good problem.Kid-friendliness: I am a kid. I enjoy feeling like any other customer here.“

“I purchased a mixed basket of liver & gizzards & a large fries. The fries were older than me & I turned 64 a week ago. She should be ashamed of herself. I noticed no one was hardly there and I see why. Oh I called her to complain naturally she wouldn't answer. Byotch charged me $17, that's it for me.“

“Wow! Tucked into an unassuming strip mall is Tazza, a trendy spot with a perfectly diverse menu. I went with friends for brunch and was blown away by the excellent drink menu, the elevated taste of the food, and our flawless service provided by Eric! Eric checked in on us exactly when needed, was a model of providing the best service- aces the 'cordial but not overbearing' server traits. We will all be back and suggest others give this place a try too. Try the breads appetizer and the Painkiller drink“

“Located on the horseshoe of UofSC campus McCutchen House was a delight. The model is that the students run the restaurant process. You get an app, soup or salad, an entree and dessert. It was wonderful. I'm gluten free so they recommended what I should have. I couldn't eat everything but at $13 bucks for food and drinks I don't care the price cannot be beat. Because it's student run the opening times are limited and making a reservation is preferred. They don't take cash so walk with your physical cards. I think everyone should visit if they can! And I will return when I can.“
