Restaurants in Columbia

“We love the cocktails, steak night, and brunch. The kids don’t really love the dinner menu so we just steer away from family dinner.”

“We love Proving Ground for their good food, relaxing atmosphere and friendly staff.”

“Best place to go for Mexican food! Everything is fresh and put together in a very presentable way! I have so many favorites it’s hard to say what is the best! Everyone is very nice and friendly and they work hard to make sure you like what you get! The drinks are great as well!”

“Stopped and ate here on our way home from a softball tournament... Very pleased. The food was delicious, hot, and fast.. Friendly staff, cold beer and very clean.. This is definitely one on our return list..”

“Great place, reminds me of an old dinner. It’s cleaned and the employees are more than friendly. I highly recommend.”

“I recommend Cafe on the Abbey for anyone any day of the week! Breakfast or Lunch! The food, the service, the atmosphere is excellent. My favorite is the vegan and gluten friendly items that their baker Amanda makes!!! She makes the best cakes ever for any occasion and bakes the best Gluten Free cake around!!! Check them out!!”

“Volleyball league is a good time.”

“Super helpful staff. Have stopped in several times for a variety of things. They are patient with questions and will help understand what you’re after to ensure it’s the right fit.
They have a new tea bar too that’s great!”

“We had a party of eight and needed a place to eat on a Friday night. This place accommodated us, even though they were very busy. Really good food and the service was friendly and fast, esp considering how busy they were. A little loud, but it’s a bar and there was a Blues game on, so you kind of have to expect that. Our party had multiple different kinds of food, from some German dishes, to typical American faire, and all were happy with the quality. And the prices are very, very reasonable.”

“Very Good Food , Clean Restaurant Good customer services”

“Our daughter wanted to celebrate her 18th birthday at Sunset Overlook, and it couldn’t have been more perfect! We had never been before, but since she loves sunsets, we made it happen—and we’re so glad we did. We had a party of 25, and the staff handled everything wonderfully. The waitresses were so friendly, attentive, and made sure our large group was well taken care of. The food was absolutely delicious—the flatbreads were 💯! Such a great experience and a beautiful spot to celebrate a special occasion. We’ll definitely be back!”

“Love the atmosphere and love the owner Alex and his Amazing staff! Always a good time.”

“Great wine list , great vibe , great entrainment”

“I had a great time at this place! lovely people , great location, nice outdoor sitting.
The atmosphere was simply delightful, and I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw a magnificent Clydesdale horse standing right outside, indulging in cherry pie – it was like something out of a dream! This place truly left a lasting impression on me, and I can't wait to return soon. with wonderful people and unexpected delights, this is the place to be. Highly recommended!”

“love there pizza and you cant get unlimited toppings”

“Just enjoyed another great, tasty, birthday cake creation from Bethany. The Torbit's; Rex, Tammy and Stephanie say thank you very much.”

“Great, friendly staff. Kids really enjoyed watching their rainbow snow cone get made right in front of them on the counter. Ice cream was delicious too!”

“Delicious donuts! Tried them for the first time recently. Cheesecake 10/10! Triple Berry and Eggnog were nicely done also.”

“Hands down the best casual eating experience. The friendly owner all the way to service and atmosphere. This is not a hidden gem. It is a local and community family friendly restaurant. If the weather is permitting I highly recommend the patio”

“It's a Taco Bell.... but, for a Taco Bell, it's typically on the cleaner end with friendly and fast service. Also, they usually put the right amount of each topping on your items. Every once in awhile you'll get the wrong item or a topping you didn't want or ask for..... but for the most part, the Columbia Taco Bell is on the upper part of my list.”

“Drove 4 hours from the Chicago area today to try the restaurant. The cheese balls were absolutely amazing. The smash burger and steak quasadillas were perfect. The hospitality and service was by far the most friendly I've experienced. The GM, Mary, was super friendly and sat at our table and chatted for a couple minutes. Fantastic place to eat. 10/10 will visit again! Thank you Top Shooters staff!”

“They have a great two-for-one special that is available all day. I stop by a lot and get a sandwich and salad or pizza and salad. Their prices are fantastic plus you earn points for free things”

“We are full-time RVers who, while traveling around the US, are in search of the best cheeseburger and have a rating system of The Best (only 1 rated), Very Good, Good, OK, and Not Impressed. While at our home base in Southern Illinois, we were in the Columbia, IL, area and Googled “hamburger restaurants.” We saw Washy’s Pub had good burger reviews, so decided to give them a try for lunch. Washy’s has a simple bar atmosphere with about a dozen tables. We ordered their Classic burger with me having American cheese and my wife pepperjack. We also requested lettuce, pickles, and sliced onions. The handmade patties were about 10 oz (good sized), nicely seasoned, cooked to order, charbroiled, and served on a nicely-toast fresh bun. I had their skinny-style battered fries and my wife had onion rings. The burgers came out hot and were super tasty due the meat seasoning. We’re not sure what seasoning they used, but it worked! My wife’s burger was just a tiny bit better than mine due the pepperjack they use. The fries and onion rings were among the best we’ve had as well. We rated the burgers (even without a special sauce), fries, and onion rings Very Good. The service was also top notch.”

“Great food! Love the Yum Woon Sen!!”

“Delicious food, great customer service. We've ordered from here for years! Our favorites are the fried mushrooms, Buffalo chicken pizza, and lobster ravioli!”

“No complaints, this is the best DQ around the area, with a noticeable difference in service and quality of food. Haven't been inside in a while so I don't know how it is from the inside and the cleanliness and everything is, but I haven't heard or experienced anything bad.”

“First time ordering. Amazing food.
The Crab Rangoon is one of the best we've ever had.
Chicken Fried Rice was hot and fresh. Not like it had sat in a steam table.
Def our new go-to for Chinese food !!”

“Delicious Fried chicken!! Great deal 4 pieces and slaw. $8.99 Definitely will be back!”
