Worst experience in many years. They were out of everything. We waited two hours for food. No apologies. No asks if we wanted more drinks. I should have demanded my bill and walked out. Wildly over-charged for the horrible food we had. Never will return, i am just so disgusted by the lack of concern or accountability, You tell me the kitchen is busy but then allow the ice to completely melt in my water glass. I live in Ohio and travel to COMO to see my daughter who goes to college there. This is not authentic Southern food and the hospitality is not there either. You should be ashamed.

We were told most of their dishes here have been the same since the 40’s and they’re absolutely delicious. Blackened red fish is a must try. Also, the restaurant ambience achieves a perfect balance of preserving its history while also adapting to the modern one. The menu might not seem very long, yet every dish is unique. A must visit restaurant in Columbia.

Drove here on way home from long trip because they were showing as one of the few gluten free places in Columbia. They had two separate menus online claiming to have gluten free meals available. Upon sitting down not only were there no gluten free options, but prices had went up dramatically. Waitress had no idea what she was talking about, basically just stay away from the fried foods and you’ll be okay. So I had the pleasure of eating junk in the car alone, while the family and my son’s friend ate, well after they finally got their brunch meals anyhow. (Hope you have less than five people or they’ll sit you at their only tables available directly under the only air vents in the place).

Our server Jordan was great. Food was meh but the kicker is paying extra 3.5% for “employee healthcare Fund.” That’s just ridiculous! Why are customers paying for healthcare with brunch?

This is not really Cajun food. This is what happens when people from the north come in and try to gentrify and class up down home southern food. I got their jambalaya and half of the plat was nothing but canned diced tomatoes. That being said the other side was correct besides the. Andouille that was obviously, microwaved, and so chewy and squeaky that it felt like I bit in to a piece of mozzarella. To top it all off they don’t have sweet tea what self respecting southern joint does not have sweet tea.

There was no wait, they offer indoor and outdoor seating. We loved the drinks and appetizers, there was even complementary champagne. The atmosphere is fancy but you can still dress pretty casual.

I can’t believe I was able to have such a wonderful meal at 11:00 at night. This place should have been packed but, we ended up having the whole place to ourselves. Jerry took great care of us. There was a complimentary wine tasting and bread before we had our dinner and cocktails. I got shrimp and grits with a Grapefruit Paloma. My husband got the burger (homemade bun, pickles, ketchup) and a whiskey business. The place was clean and well decorated, as well. We were also able to go right next door to The Vault before walking back to our hotel. If I were to go back to Columbia, I’d 100% come here again!

Genuine, professional, and thoughtful. The staff doesn’t just serve they host. You feel seen, not rushed. On my visit, our server made excellent drink recommendations and ensured each course arrived at the perfect pace. It’s clear the team takes pride in their craft.

4th time returning. Excellent food, service and environment. We always come back to Glenns for big celebrations. This was my mom's birthday. It's always exceptional.
