“Iron Bridge has an estensive wine collection, some well crafted cocktails, and a carefully curated menu that's well prepared by the in-house chef. Service is very attentive, and they really do strive to make your experience as perfect as possible. You're going to pay for the quality of the food, drinks and service, but it's all definitely worth it.“

“What a great atmosphere and food was great! Will return and highly recommend 👍“

“Thanks for making our Thanksgiving Dinner!“

“Food and service is outstanding“

“First time here. What an outstanding experience! The food was phenomenal and our waiter/bar tender Herman was the icing in the cake! He is so personable and easy going and a great waiter but he makes the best Long Island Ice Tea we have ever had! We are very picky about that drink, as it is our favorite and a very hard one to get right! Kudos to the establishment and to Herman! We will be back!“

“Just overall awesomeness!“

“The best kept secret in Howard County!“

“Spectacular recommendation, so glad I stopped in to meet Jay and have his one-of-a-kind Pork, Steak, and Cheese sub. It was absolutely delicious and the customer service was even better! Will definitely be by again next time I’m in the area. Thank you so much“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“Delicious food and great service“

“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.“

“This is the place I go to when I want perfectly made deli style food. I do not know why but I wake up once a week craving a meatball sub from Orion Sky Cafe. The cold cut sub is very good as well and I am slowly trying the other sandwiches on the menu and have not found one that was not either very fresh or well prepared. The chicken or beef teriyaki with fried rice is a very large portion and perfectly prepared. The specials are all very different and worth a try. The staff are super out going and very friendly. One of my favorite things in the restaurant is the old school food menu displayed over the drink station. I would highly recommend this restaurant.“

“I stopped by this spot for brunch with some friends. The wait time was decent when I arrived, but this place gets packed quickly. The food was pretty good, I tried the eggs benedict and they came out perfect. The home fries were good as well. We were served well and attended to thoroughly by the staff. Overall, this spot was good and will def be going back!“

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

“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!“

“We dined on Christmas Eve and from our greeting at the door to when we received our bill the experience was 5 Stars!! The cocktails and entrees were delicious. Our server was exceptional with his attention to detail and nice to connect with a young man that moved from New Jersey from his family Chinese restaurant to serving in the Columbia area. You have a talented and caring crew member. Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!“

“Spurrier's Restaurant and Lounge has an incredible view and surroundings from both in and out. I just spent but a day there, and I had an incredible time. The surroundings were neat and there were ample parking lot. Staff were polite, professional, and helpful. They do sell snacks. A special occasion gave me the chance to visit and to explore what do they offer. You can book a reservation. Stairs and elevator are available but I prefer using my legs. You can't miss it. It's within the city, and businesses are all around. I didn't order any food from there, so I don't know how their food taste, but what I can say is that the occasion I was invited to, the food was great. The food is more traditional based on the event. But overall, the staff were excellent and they did their very best to get everyone situated and to feel at home. ?

Parking: Parking was free. There are ample parking lots. There are bins, recycle bins, stationed there for bottle glasses. For further questions, call the library. You can find their phone number at their website.?

Kid-friendliness: Yes, kids are always welcome with a parent or with a guardian.

Wheelchair accessibility: The sliding doors are automatic for wheelchair accessibility if using the library. However, the Trail is not ideal for wheelchair accessibility.“

“I can’t WAIT to come back here. The wings are delicious and the staff is so kind and welcoming. The wings were generously covered in sauce and I especially loved their lemon pepper wet sauce because the oil didn’t separate and that’s a reoccurring issue everywhere when I get a wet lemon pepper sauce. They also have okra which is an absolute favorite for me and to be honest, it’s probably one of the best side dishes of okra I’ve had.“

“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..“

“Having our church women's winter fellowship catered was great. Choosing boxed meals was very appropriate and affordable. The food was delivered on time, hot and very good. Our clean up crew was ecstatic because they did not have to break down a buffet set-up.“

“I’m not super into BBQ, but Iron Flag BBQ has changed everything for me. The brisket was tender, pulled pork was to die. The Mac and cheese surprised me the most, hands down the best Mac and cheese I’ve had! Highly recommend!“

“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.“

“Fast, Friendly and Delicious“

“Good food. Excellent service.“

“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 admire this place! They serve sensational dishes, their menu is varied, The chef in that spot is an expert, I like very much tasting all their dishes. The food is consistently tasty, the attitude towards the customers is helpful. I often go to this place and I not even once was unhappy. I recommend it to all.“

“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!“

“Food was delicious and there was A LOT of it! Baby back ribs were juicy; tender and the sauce was really good. Would recommend. Spinach artichoke dip was wonderful. The flavor was spot on, would recommend. Roasted veggies and loaded mashed potatoes were really good as well. Would recommend those sides.“

“Food never disappoints, the service is great, specials they have always are delicious! Great place :)“

“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🤠👱🏼‍♀️“

“Great food - great attitude ; superb customer service“

“Server was delightful, efficient and got everything just right. Each in the party had something different and all were happy. I especially like the onion straws appetizer. I think the collards are a bit too spicy. Macaroni & cheese too spicy for kids but was less spicy than the collards. Ribs perfect. Both kinds“

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

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

“Great place to socialize! Great services, great food and drinks, great servers and bartenders, of course!!!! On top of that, the management is awesome! Quick to respond to the customers’ needs effectively. I come here very often, and it’s very safe. The manager, Ty is also awesome! I love the fact that she always rolls her sleeves and helps her team whenever they’re overloaded.“

“Overall this is a good place to have Happy Hour. I am super disappointed that the charcuterie board was taken off the menu. It was the best! Bring it back please!“

“We have made jailbreak one of our favorite spots when we are in the area. We recently had a dry aged fish and a steak board. To say we were amazed and impressed doesn’t even describe how fantastic the food was and how much we enjoyed it. In addition to the excellent food the staff was top notch to make sure we knew what each item on the boards were. It is something we will definitely do again.“

“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“

“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“
