Sushi Bar • $$
“Do yourself a favor and check this place out! This is our second time in recent months. We had the beef bulgogi, salmon and a couple sushi rolls. You get a free appetizer that they choose also. For what you get, it is very affordable and you can tell made with love. We'll definitely be back!”
Thai • $$
“A cute, small restaurant with a very homey vibe. The service was wonderful, our server was very relaxed, and prompt. My mom had the red curry, medium spice. It was warm, herbal, aromatic, spicy, and stunning. Unlike anything I’ve had recently. I ordered the basil fried rice with pork. It was delicious. The sweet and salty flavor was exactly what I needed tonight. The pork was a little chewy, I’d recommend getting the chicken or shrimp if you get it. My mom thinks she’s going to crave this place when she leaves. She also raved about the candied gin(ger) spritz. Overall a great dining experience. Thanks, KinKao.”

“My wife and I had a late lunch there today and Riley who was taking care of the bar, also took care of our table. We had not eaten there since they moved to the new location. We started with the Calamari and we had just a few minutes to chat after we finished and our meals were brough to us. My wife had the Ravioli Aragosta and I had the spicy Chicken and Sausage. The meals looked great and tasted even better. The fresh bread that was brought to the table was perfect! Riley took care of all of our needs, and we never felt rushed. I definitely recommend this place and hope to return soon.”

“We got the teriyaki pork belly, the spicy sausage pizza, a Moscow mule, a French 75, and it was all delicious! The pork was my favorite. I’ll definitely be back to see what new items they add to the menu. I wish I’d caught our waiter’s name. He was very sweet and attentive, without checking up on us too often. Flyover is a new Columbia favorite of mine!”
Bakery • $
“We needed egg and gluten free cupcakes for an important event in the MU School of Music, and Alanna did a great job! I always want to be inclusive of food allergies, but most bakeries don't offer accommodations. Getting both egg AND gluten free in one cake was a big deal. A gluten-eater even had one and declared them so good, they were the cupcakes he *wished* he'd had at a recent celebration, instead of the ones served! And on top of being delicious, they were absolutely beautiful. I will definitely be recommending you to all my Mizzou colleagues for future events!”

“One of my favorite local spots. It is ALWAYS so busy so plan on waiting a bit but they typically are upfront and honest about how long it may be and sometimes they get you seated faster. The make a great steak but I also love their french dip sandwich. They have some tasty cocktails too! And while you eat you can people watch or enjoy the art on the walls around you. They constantly display a variety of artist in the restaurant which is so much fun to see. Likely it will be different next time you return. So glad they reopened after the fire damage.”

“I was doing take out, so my review is limited.
I visited 8/27 at about 5:45Pm.
The bartender who poured my cocktail and took my food order was fantastic.
The food was better tgan what I've become used to. Great baked potato, plenty of asparagus, proper bag to take the food out in.
Only problem was that my steak was over done. I has the 8oz sirloin with the shrimp..
I ordered MR and got what id call a hard Med or MW. My wife orders her beef well done, so I can see the kitchen taking that one.
Of course I was back at my RV spot when I figured it out.
Shrimp, mashed, and veggies were all great.
I will come back....I will just take a little more care about leaving before I check my steak temps..”

“Hyvee has a special price on Kansas City Chiefs shirts and merchandise. My daughter was getting KC Chiefs clothes when she found an NFL football balloon. We bought our food and breakfast strawberries. Then walked out. We realized that we had the football balloon in the parking lot and went back inside to return the balloon. The girl working at Hyvee paid for my daughter’s NFL balloon. As a gift, She was so kind and wonderful. My daughter bought the girl working a red flower and more strawberries for breakfast. Every employee was so kind. We always liked the Hyvee near Mizzou for the Market Grill Restaurant, beef brisket, and deli hot foods. Hyvee has the best team of employees. Award winning customer service. Hyvee is a boon to the community. We recommend that you shop at Hyvee whenever you have to make the best of your money, especially for their care for customers. Special thanks to the employee that bought the KC Chiefs NFL football balloon for my little girl. She deserved a dozen roses for the gift she gave my little girl. Thank you. Rebel’s Dad”

“We want to thank Sake Japanese Bistro for being such an amazing community partner! Habitat was lucky enough to build 4 homes in 10 days with volunteers from all over the nation. Sake provided meals for hundreds of volunteers on the construction site! They made delicious bento boxes with a variety of different foods! Lo Mein, dumplings, sushi, you name it! Even the least adventurous eaters loved it! Four families were able to become homeowners through this event and we appreciate everyone coming together to make it happen! Thank you for all you do in our community!”

“For my daughter's 25th Birthday luncheon we had 9 people. Didn't have a long wait to be seated. Was great service. We sat around a flat grill. We got appetizers made our orders. Got our drinks all very quickly. The Chef was amazing with his skills on the grill and tricks he did was so entertaining and mesmerizing. The food was good delicious. I had chicken teriyaki with fried rice. They served me so much food I had to take it home and make 2 more meals out of it.
Happy birthday to my daughter Chloe K. They made her a japanese candle that she had to blow out. Chef kept us laughing and was very engaging.
I highly recommend Koebe Steakhouse!”

“MyHouse Sports Bar is the perfect spot if you’re looking to catch a game, chill with friends, and enjoy solid food and drinks. The vibe is energetic without being overwhelming, and there are TVs in every direction so you’ll never miss a play. The staff was attentive and friendly, and service was surprisingly quick even on a busy night.
The wings were crispy and flavorful, and the loaded nachos were a standout perfect for sharing. They’ve got a great selection of beers on tap, and the cocktails were strong (in a good way). Music was on point, adding to the overall lively atmosphere without drowning out conversation.”

“Years ago I fell in love with their mole’ poblano. The sauce was so dark and rich and thick but for the last 5 years or so it is not the same. Now it has some red mixed in and is more like enchilada sauce. I can get a jar of Dona Maria and make it better at home. Other aspects of this place are fine but just wish the mole’ was like it used to be.”

“Chris Mc D's has the best gourmet food in Mid-Missouri...or maybe anywhere. On a recent visit, we met our server, Joe. He was so knowledgeable about the food and how it was cooked, that I ,wondered if he had been standing elbow-to-elbow with the CHEF, who has my highest regards. Joe explained to us how all the seafood is FLOWN IN fresh. This speaks very highly both of Chris Mc D's and Joe, who knew and cared to share this information with us. A solid 5 stars for this restaurant!”

Everything I have ordered has been amazing from French toast ,waffles, omelettes , tacos ,sandwiches and salads . Very healthy and fresh food . Would eat at First Watch three times a week during my two month stay in Columbia Missouri. Always asked to seated in Melany's section . But all the wait staff was great !!! Took my 9 year old grandson for breakfast and he rated the restaurant a 10 . He had a waffle and sausage links and hot chocolate. I had the Italian sausage omelette with roasted potatoes. Food is always amazing . Great place to go by yourself with a friend or family . Highly recommended this place .”

The staff made sure the other dinners were alright during the event while being very respectful to the persons family. I was expressed with the staff.”

“Staff are all so pleasant and polite. Greeted us as soon as we walked in. Sat us promptly. See ice is amazing. The food is so very good. You can tell from the appearance and taste, that they take care in cooking their steak burgers and plate food perfectly. Their fries are the best. Highly recommend everyone to stop by. Very reasonable prices. 👍🏼”

“Sunday afternoon. Actually started at White Castle but human doing orders said it would be at least 15 minutes wait before she could take my order and then another 15 minutes waiting on food and there were only 2 vehicles in front of me waiting in line. So I left & went to Taco Bell. Line was busy with 6 vehicles in front of me. I got thru in 10 minutes w food & drink. Excellent Service”

“Food was okay, two of my beers in the flight were spot on, one I personally didn’t care for, and the fourth I’m sure wasn’t what I ordered. Service good. Food was okay, the menu had a lot options but we would try something different next time!”

“Let me get this straight food was amazing but what I really was thankful for is I used door dash for the first time. They didn’t have a spicy tendy option, so I called and the young man Treaveon answered. I told him my door dash order before I placed it and he told me not to worry. Spicy tenders would be on my way. And I’ll be he was right. I even called to thank him. Truly he is a guy that cares about a customer and how they spend their money for dinner. Made me feel closer to home.”

“Let me tell you the reasons i love the Restaurants at Southwest.
- bomb orange chicken—I could eat it every day
- chicken sandwiches are aight but you can just stockpile like 4 chicken breasts to bulk if you want
- charming biscuits and gravy served daily—waffles could use some work
- unlimited ice cream at every meal—try microwaving for 4 seconds to loosen out of styrofoam cup, then scoop into a bowl and dump some fruity pebbles or Cinnamon Toast Crunch on that John and you got some gourmet sheesh
- the cookies and cream pie is heavenly—I had two slices, then a friend brought me another because he knew how much I loved it—would not recommend eating that much
- tacos and fajitas were solid
- nachos added a fun mix of mystery
- French fries are EASILY THE BEST FRIES I HAVE EVER HAD
10/10 would recommend
Also the service is impeccable 🤌”

“Friendly staff, quick and tasty as always. We were traveling all around and I had 7 Brew in 2 states today so I’m not sure which place this survey is for. Just friendly, asked how my day was. I don’t want a ton of conversation, but it was just the right amount.”
“We got the teriyaki pork belly, the spicy sausage pizza, a Moscow mule, a French 75, and it was all delicious! The pork was my favorite. I’ll definitely be back to see what new items they add to the menu. I wish I’d caught our waiter’s name. He was very sweet and attentive, without checking up on us too often. Flyover is a new Columbia favorite of mine!”
