“Five stars all the way. they made me like vegan cheese. So thankful for their healthy choices. They killed it at PedJam“

“You have to really look for this hidden away gem, but very much worth it. Very helpful staff and absolutely delicious Mediterranean cuisine ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“I love this gem of a restaurant! As so many others have pointed out, the food is well prepared, the service stellar, the atmosphere warm and inviting. Our wait person, Desmond, went above and beyond. We were crestfallen to find they didn’t have the seasonal fruit sundae on the menu any longer. He went back and talked to the kitchen staff and came out with the best fruit sundae I’ve ever had in my life! So blessed to have this restaurant in Columbia.“

“Oh my gosh! Tried Dada Döner the other day and it was absolutely delicious! Staff was super friendly and the food was so good! Definitely recommend!!“

“i really love your bagels and appreciate all the care that goes in to making them“

“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.“

“Pre ordered chocolate croissants and they were so amazing!!! This place is awesome!!! If you haven’t checked it out do it soon!!“

“It’s been 8 long years since I got to enjoy this pizza…so glad we came here today! Excellent pizza!“

“The food was the best today. I love all the options on the bar to pick from. One of my best HuHot experiences I have had, we have ate at several in the US. This location was very clean.“

“Brunch is better here. The cocktails are on point. But the food is something that can't be passed on. From an out of towner that almost gave up because of limited parking, this a place that every town and city needs. Columbia has something special here.“

“I tried this place for the 1st time during a work trip and we were very happy with this place. The service was good and the food was outstanding. The prices were reasonable and the portion size exceeded my expectation. I'd definitely choose this place again.“

“I have never been in here and I received a gift card so I went to pick out a pie with my son today. The store is adorable and smells amazing! The staff greeted me immediately and walked me through flavors. I chose the white chocolate strawberry because it’s nationally recognized and I see why! It is amazing. I think they have a new customer. I want to try the chocolate bourbon pecan next. Such a cool place!“

“As “The Duke of Artz” I recommend Love Coffee because it’s very supportive for people with Autism and disabilities and that it’s Triple cool Cool COOL 😎👍👍👍“

“we had voodoo snow at our wedding, it was a hit. Everyone loved it and staff was great!“

“Outstanding food , great conversations with the other patrons , did I mention the Food!! And Lee and the Staff were amazing!! Everything was delicious! Just come and try all of it!!“

“Recently We had lunch at Nourish cafe. The vege bowl we ordered was very good, made to our taste. We liked the taste of fresh vegetables. Service was very prompt and servers were very polite. The only thing we wished was that our coffee was hot. The added bonus: We enjoyed the free parking since we went on a weekend.“

“This unassuming shop off of broadway is home to the best sandwiches in Columbia. Coming from New York I have craved a fresh deli style sandwich shop, something that Jersey Mike's can closely mimic, but other alternatives struggle to match. The bread is perfect, the meats taste delicious, and the toppings are not soggy. If you want a similar dining experience, you will have to go to upscale restaurants that charge an arm and a leg, but offer off-putting service. The ambiance is what you might expect of a small bar inside of an antiquated theater. This is truly a "must visit" if you're a local or passing through!“

“Incredible allergen-friendly bakery allowing folks with severe digestive issues to enjoy very special and delicious treats!“

“Update Must Read:Now for the Pot Roast Pot Pie, lordy. I can't say enough spectacular things about it for real. The crust is so flaky and delightful to taste. Biggest pot pie with fabulous crust and holes poked in it, too. Nothing in the stores or another restaurant can compare to it. I couldn't finish it. There's so many big chunks of tasty meat, big tasty potatoes , and plump carrots along with peas. Then the gravy or juices are delicious too. For the price, it's well worth every penny, and I can't wait to try the chicken & Southwest chicken as the owner has winners for sure on these pot pies, kudos.Let's move on to the Cherry Custard yummy pie. I've been looking it seems like forever to find a fabulous custard in a pie.Guess what? I found my dream cherry custard pie. The custard is so creamy, and the sweetness is on point big time along with the perfect cherries. Again, the crust is so flaky and tasty kudos to a perfect crust it's so rare that it doesn't fall apart and holds up to where you can pick it up and eat with your fingers. I must admit that I demolished that pie in hours. Thank God it was only 6 inches.Now I've definitely found my favorite pies the white chocolate strawberry, cherry custard, and of course the pot pies. Big shout out to the Owner on a spectacular bakery filled with such delightful and delicious goodies.Next time, gonna have to try the quiche for sure!The drive from St. Louis is so worth it, and believe me, I'll be going a lot more. Did I mention they ship, too?Pie places and bakeries are one of my favorite places to experience, and Peggy Jean's is definitely a hit and a must visit if you like fabulous tasting pies!It's my favorite place to stop and get pies, both sweet and savory. I called that morning to get 3 white chocolate strawberry pies held for me as I missed the cutoff time the day before they suggested calling the next day.I tried their pies when we were in town, treasure hunting, and now I'm hooked on the white chocolate Strawberry 6 inch pie. Luckily, when I went in to pick them up, they had the cherry cherry custard pie. Usually, they are special order. To my surprise, they had 3 of them, so of course, I picked up 2 of the 6 inch ones.Last time, I didn't try their savory pie, so this time, I picked up dinner for grabbing 2 of the pot roast pot pies. You heard me pot roast pot pies 6 inch. The reason I keep stating 6 inch is because they do have 9 inch pies, too. They would go bad before I could eat them, so I enjoy the 6-inch pies. Also, they have quiche as well. I'll let you know how the pot roast pot pie is when I eat it. Did I mention they ship as well. Big shout to the owner for having such fabulous sweet & savory pies for single people.Don't miss out if you're driving thru Columbia, Missouri. Stop in and seriously try the White Chocolate Strawberry pie it's outrageously tasty!“

“Coco’s tacos cured my depression I highly recommend it!! Colin is an amazing chef and has a passion for making food that is both fresh and locally sourced ��“

“The food is excellent, the staff is kind, the vibe is fantastic! Also, I wanted to come on here and review because your gluten-free menu is incredible! On all three of our recent visits, the staff was so enthusiastic about us eating gluten free, which is not the normal reaction we get. Thank you SO much for the joy you are spreading through your establishment!“

“Delicious food, sourced locally from Mid-Missouri farmers. Yummy beer. Exceptional service. They make me feel special when I know that I'm not...and I like that! It's my #1!“

“**The food's good. Bring a towel.**

Everything here arrives absolutely drenched. The shrimp tempura had real potential, genuinely good shrimp under there, but it was so waterlogged from sauce and slaw that the batter gave up entirely. Tempura should crunch. This one sighed.

Recommended packing list: umbrella, rain boots, a few sandbags for the perimeter, and roughly one napkin per bite. I went through a stack and still left tacky.

The bulgogi bao — ground beef, FYI, not sliced, in case you had expectations — was tasty but swimming.

Flavor-wise they know what they're doing. They just need to ease up on the sauce bottle and let a few things stay crispy. Four stars if you're into it 💦, three if you like your food dry.“

“This is one of the best Pizza experiences! The kids got to make their own pizza by choosing their favorite toppings , the staff was amazing they even surprised us with delicious large cookies ! Too bad we live like 14 hours away from this place but will definitely come back!“

“the service has always been excellent and friendly! we love the layout/atmosphere. as for food, drink, and dessert - hey! it's excellent, too! if you haven't been, by all means you should go!“

“i love the cheesecake icecream. its an original flavor for icecream. 5⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“Need I say more? You guys ROCK!!“

“The wings are some of the best in CoMo!“

“It is one of the few places to get breakfast in central and western Columbia. Ernie's and the Broadway Diner are the other two.“

“I met John and his staff today. If you want the best Thai food and the friendliest crew you will be impressed with this place. everything was awesome. I will be back for sure. they also have the best rice, it's Missouri grown along with an awesome cocktail menu. Please do yourself and the family a favor and visit them. They'll treat you like family!!! Thank you ladies and gentlemen!“

“Great food, very nice restaurant, and wonderful service! Thanks to our amazing waitress, Brie! We will be back when we come to Columbia again!!“

“My wife and I can not get enough of this place. We have been here several times and tried many dishes. All fantastic.

But then we tried the butter chicken and there has been no looking back. We have a dead set order of butter chicken spice level of 3 and 8. Appetizer plater and garlic cheese naan.

It is insane how great this food is definitely at this price point. We are always ready to slip in for an after work date night.

Also you can't believe how nice and thankful the owner is.“

“Fast service and friendly people!! Best ever!! Spot on!!! My family and I were very satisfied.“

“Panera is good but if you get a bagel, FYI they give you a very disappointing amount of cream cheese. This is probably my fault for not having got a bagel in a long time, but I was so excited for a big bagel with lots of cream cheese. Back in the day panera would schmear the cream cheese for you and it would just be as thick as you could possibly want. Today I got a tiny 1.5 Oz container. That is three tablespoons if you manage to scrape every bit out of the tiny container. I literally would have preferred two of those on each half, but i went through the drive through and by the time i got home it was too late. The bite size serving of cream cheese was spread so thin I had to supplement with butter just to cover the bagel with a millimeter thin layer. To spend 5 bucks on a bagel and cream cheese and get home and pull this out of the bag was incredibly disappointing, no respect for the schmear. Still giving decent stars because the food was good and now knowing this, I guess I will just shell out for 4 containers of cream cheese next time, but at that point I will probably just bring my own cream cheese....“
