“Great vegan food. Just had a special broccoli appetizer. Yum!!“

“The food was amazing and the drink was sooo good!!!!!“

“Good food awesome location on a nice day you can eat outside.“

“Another successful event held at Bushel and a Peck. This time we were in their smaller private room. They also have a fantastic, large private dining area, as well as outdoor seating. I highly recommend them if you are looking to book a private party or corporate event. Or just a date night or client meeting. The staff is great, the venue is beautiful and the food is amazing.“

“food and wine were good but the noise level in the one room where we were seated was way too loud. Particularly after one loud group joined, we could hardly hear each other talk, although we were across the room. They need to add some acoustical panels.“

“From the moment I stepped through the doors, it was immediately clear that this establishment operates on an entirely different level. The cuisine was nothing short of exceptional—elevated in both flavor and presentation, rivaling even the most renowned culinary institutions. Every dish was a harmonious blend of creativity and precision, truly exemplifying top-tier gastronomy. What impressed me even more, however, was the service. It transcended the standard of hospitality, offering a level of attentiveness and professionalism that felt both effortless and sincere. The staff anticipated needs before they were expressed, creating an experience that was as seamless as it was memorable. In all sincerity, this is one of the finest dining experiences I have ever had the pleasure of enjoying. A rare combination of extraordinary food and impeccable service, it’s a restaurant that sets a new benchmark for excellence.“

“Enjoyed having brunch here! The mussels were delicious and we had excellent service from Logan! Food was brought out fresh & hot, drinks were cold & refreshing & dessert was worth it! We will be back! Thanks!“

“Thanks for making our Thanksgiving Dinner!“

“Ordered the army breakfast. Eggs were over done, sausage was under cooked and the entire meal was cold. Could have had a better breakfast at a homeless shelter. First and last time.“

“Food and service is outstanding“

“I recently hosted a large party here, and the staff were easy to work with and accommodated our large group. It was the perfect setting (both inside and outside). The cocktails and food were awesome, and the staff was friendly.“

“Just overall awesomeness!“

“Absolutely amazing. A true fine dining 5* experience from the service to the food. Will return again and again.“

“Friendly staff and management who care about their customers and their food and drink. New and imaginative and tasty offerings 2x a week. Every changing beers on tap with some standards to satisfy almost beer drinker. Sunday Brunch starts at 10am with some really good brunch and drink options.“

“Our second time here and I want to return and try more yummy food. So many original items on menu, it’s hard to choose. My sandwich was amazing. The fries are fresh and hot. I’m glad music wasn’t as loud as our previous visit in summer. I hear the pizza is delicious. It’s so great to have something close to us out here in the “country “. I like supporting local businesses“

“We recently celebrated my parents' 70th anniversary at Kings Contrivance Restaurant, and I can't express enough how wonderful the experience was. The entire evening was perfect, from the warm and inviting atmosphere to the impeccable service. Richard, in particular, was outstanding—he answered all of my questions and ensured that everything was just right for our family gathering. The food was outstanding—every dish was prepared with care and attention to detail, making our celebration even more special. My parents were thrilled to have the entire family together for this milestone event, and they couldn’t stop raving about how wonderful the restaurant was. If you're looking for a place to host a special occasion, I highly recommend Kings Contrivance Restaurant. It was the perfect setting for a memorable night that our family will cherish forever.“

“Delicious food and great service“

“So cozy! Delicious food and friendly staff.“

“Once you try one of the Sunshine Store's sandwiches, you will wonder why it took so long to try one! 😊 My husband and father in law introduced me to this hidden pleasure the first time I visited the area. We started with breakfast (tasting the local culinary treasure of scrapple), then I was introduced to their burgers on the same trip, and I was surprised that everything is cooked to order. I have not found any burger yet that is close to comparison!! My husband's family has made this a regular stop for sandwiches over several decades and generations. My father in law (nearby farmer/owner of Greenstone Custom Farming) has eaten there for several decades along with feeding his crew from this hidden gem, this has been a favorite of my husband's since he was old enough to eat there, and now it is a favorite place for our children to eat with grandpa. The store is small and with limited seating, it would be best to order the food to go or if you are eating alone you can sit at the counter and watch your food be prepared. A must try in the area and definitely worth the drive through the beautiful countryside!“

“Matt in the kitchen is *chef's kiss* - his dessert creations are incredible. Most recently the strawberry shortcake is fantastic - perfectly yet gently sweet.

10/10 take a minute & stop in for a beer and a dessert!“

“This was my first time at Busboys and Poets in Columbia. What a great experience! I loved the atmosphere. And there were so many vegan options I didn't know what to order! I ended up getting the crispy cauliflower bites and the vegan "tuna" sandwich. Both were really good! I plan to go back often to try some of the vegan bowls, the pasta and the veggie burger.“

“Love the atmosphere. The band was pretty good. Great food options and entertainment. Some of the menu items have nuts added which seem unnecessary. They should consider removing the nuts from the lobster dish.“

“My girlfriend and I were looking for a place to catch a particular sports game on a random weeknight. A big thanks to Antonio for his help in making it happen and his good service.“

“The first time here, I went to see this awesome band Remedy. The atmosphere was so fun. I loved that the tables were not bunched, plenty of room. I had a Southwest Salad, one of the best I ever had. ? I will go back again just for that salad. I tried the pizza ? as well, very good. Check this place out..“

“We walked into a clean restaurant. Immediatky greeted and sat. Everyone was smiling. The server was very helpful and suggesred great options. Our food came on a robot followed by the manager herself. THE FOOD WAS PERFECT! the bathrooms were clean and we were very impressed!we will back often!“

“Nancy's kitchen is a very basic diner in terms of its atmosphere. It's tables in a space.

The wait staff, however, forms a tag team where everybody checks every table. They're all very friendly and attentive. Because of their process, you're never quite sure who to ask for something, but it turns out everybody will help with whatever you need. Coffee and water is refilled regularly.

The food is very good and the price is fair. If you are in the area and hungry, I think this is definitely a good place to stop. One confusing aspect is it is seat yourself. That isn't clear but the wait staff will guide you to seating yourself. Once you are seated, they'll bring you menus and start taking your orders.“

“It’s a chill place to be at this time a day the food is great anyone and everyone come to Ale House“

“First time dining there!! Food was great, all fresh, tasted good! Definitely will be back!!!! I got the chicken cheese steak deluxe... was well worth it!!!

Parking: Can be very challenging to find parking, especially during the lunch rush. Have patience, it's well worth it!“

“We ate outside otherwise the noise level likely would have been higher. Service was excellent throughout. I went knowing what I wanted. The vegetarian options are limited but excellent. I had the black lentil bolognese after sharing the guacamole toast (the guacamole is plentiful on top of the toast). The “indulgences” are always a perfect treat at the end, never overkill like desserts often are.“

“My wife and I came there for our three year anniversary of our marriage and Leena was our waitress. The level of service from start to finish was amazing and the food was 5-star. Compliments to Leena, the hostess, and the chefs who prepared the meal and provided such an amazing experience for our first time coming there. Thank you!“

“Imo Famous Dave's has the best barbecue food! We had the All American Feast with brisket, chicken, ribs, pulled pork, and all that comes with it. Service was great (thanks Joe). Always a pleasure eating there. Sorry, forget to take pictures.“

“Originality I was ordering food for a sick friend and her kids from a place that she recommended, It was a relatively small order (1 adult, 2 kids). The price they quoted was ridiculous, so I called Arirang Hill Carry Out, and their price was great, the portions were large, and the food was ready fast.
IF I had gotten food from the original place, the order would have been a total of 10 wings, 2 fries, and rice for almost $35. At Arirang, I got MORE THA. DOUBLE the amount wings, 2 fries, and rice for UNDER $30.
The staff is very respectful.“

“I had such a great experience at BJ’s thanks to Dave and Jason! From the moment I walked in, they were friendly, attentive, and went above and beyond to make sure I was taken care of. They were knowledgeable, patient with my questions, and made everything feel easy and stress-free. You can tell they genuinely care about their customers and take pride in providing excellent service. It’s rare to come across a team that’s both professional and personable, but Dave and Jason nailed it. I’ll definitely be coming back because of the outstanding service they provided, highly recommend asking for them if you visit!“

“Fast, Friendly and Delicious“

“Smoked Salmon was delicious. We dipped the bread in the Musssels. Pork and Steak cooked perfectly.“

“The best sausage gravey ever. I ordered eggs over easy and actually got eggs over easy. That's rare these days. Definitely worth a visit.“

“I discovered Kelsey’s when I was shopping across the street . We been going there ever since . The food and service is amazing. The bartenders are friendly and when you go there a lot they know what you want to drink or eat every time. Brandon is always on point makes great margaritas the best . Kelsey is great too . All the bartenders are friendly and amazing too. The manager is so friendly. I highly recommended Kelsey’s to everyone. Myra Burgess. & Van Gullivan🤠👱🏼‍♀️“

“Hubby and I enjoy the salads from here. They have standard salads but you can also customize them. As well, the employees who work there are always nice and helpful.“

“Mothers Day lunch at Corner Stable in Columbia was excellent The staff and owner are always so friendly and the food was excellent. The Mother’s Day combo consisted of a 6 oz filet which was amazing, shrimp and a crab cake and it did not disappoint. we were a table of 12 and service and meal were excellent highly recommend this location. If you would like a relaxing environment with friendly people and excellent food give them a try“

“beautiful view, good food, nice selection, well prepared courteous and friendly staff relaxing atmosphere“

“👋🏼 I absolutely love Famous Dave's. They have the BEST! ribs around town! 🤩💯💥 we had the family platter. The baked beans, coleslaw, 🌽 and muffins are so flavorful! 😋 The brisket was so tender I didn't even need a knife! sorry, I forgot to take a Pic of the food because I just dived right in! On the 🥔 potatoe wedges! My baby girl helped herself to a plate full of ribs! 😋 This location was AMAZING! #Mynewspot“

“It was a very chilled experience. I enjoyed trying all the different food and even having the desserts. I would recommend this to anyone in the Virginia area to take some time and visit the area as well as trying the restaurant.“

“Great food - great attitude ; superb customer service“

“A 5 star casual dining environment!

We found ourselves in the area around lunch and decided to stop in at the Reckless Shepard. I’ve heard several people refer it but hadn’t gone myself until now. For casual dining, this spot is great. Spacious and airy, it boasts several long high tops, two seater high tops for a more intimate feel, bar seating and an area for a private party.
There is a stage with ample lighting to make any night of the week; the best night. Multiple projectors spanned the room with a soft glow coming from the big distillery room. The ambience was really cool. We certainly appreciated the 90’s nostalgic playlist of music videos playing just loud enough to know your songs but continue your conversation.

We ordered a pizza, fries, wings, latkes, and a Cobb salad to go with our margarita, hazy IPA, and blue motorcycle. Everything was fresh and hot and savory. The drinks were delicious and well portioned! You scan for the menu and add your items so we only experienced the server when food was brought out but he was super nice still.
I loved the sauce on the pizza, light and tomatoey and savory as well!

The bathrooms were large and clean and the parking was ample for a Friday. We would certainly consider hosting an event or celebration here!“

“I took my dad tonight for Father’s Day and it was very busy. We were told an hour and half wait so we waited. From the crew at the reservation desk to the lady who took is us to our table and Evan our waiter everything was awesome. Even with being crazy busy service was great and food was great. I highly recommended Texas Roadhouse Columbia“

“First time we went the Flatbread and fries were awesome. This time we tried the Aged Waygu, it was ok, definitely not worth the $200 bill. Overcooked, not very flavorful, maybe the chef was having a bad kitchen day. Wouldn’t mind trying something else, maybe next time.“

“We came in on a whim & so glad we did. We were seated immediately & greeted warmly by an amazing waitress. Food was brought out quickly & was such a good serving size. Delicious eggs Benedict & the hollindaise was amazing! My fiancé had the biscuits & gravy & was so happy with his food. Excellent portions & such a wonderful place. Can’t wait to come back again!! Highly recommend!!“

“Amazing Brunch. Thank you Stelios and Giannis for the hospitality. We hope meet in future again. Greetings from Calgary - Canada.“

“One of my top 5 fish memories - Pompano with jerk seasoning, lemon caper sauce. Outstanding!! Sautéed spinach just right, mashed potatoes perfect. 5 stars Rest of family loved their meals.“

“We were six “ladies of a certain age”…a little rowdy and undecided. We were having lunch. Jeff, our server, was just the right mix of courtesy, humor, patience and accuracy. The portions were larger than expected. Wonderful dining experience!“
