“Brought a large group of nine people for dinner last night and service was excellent. The ambiance was so great. The staff was very professional and courteous.

I loved the decor it was very modern mixed with rustic elements. The food was so good and I could feel the difference in my body afterward.. not the crappy fast food feeling but energizing! The server I had was named Alyse and I want to give her a shoutout for an all-round amazing job! She was very sweet to my son and was attentive to our needs! Love this location and will come back!!“

The chicken Asiago pasta was delicious but also shareable, it’s a huge serving. Out of the whole experience, Nico was great, had us laughing all night and was so patient with us! 10/10 must go!“

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!“

“We did a shrimp boil for our Thanksgiving dinner yesterday. We had went to CCH last Wednesday told the owner what we were doing and he made sure we had everything possible and instructions to follow where it would be 95% like theirs. Needless to say it turned out great!!! I must say we do eat there also but what he did to make sure my family had a great boil was above and beyond!!!!“

“G&D’s is hands-down the best restaurant in Columbia! Every time I come back, I have to stop in and get the same thing—and now my kids love it too. 🍕 Pizza!!! So good. This spot is a Columbia classic, well known and well loved by locals and visitors alike.“

“Peking serves food that is consistently delicious and well-priced. A wonderful quiet spot for lunch🩷“

“We ordered online for pick up only to arrive and learn their online system was down so our food was not ordered or ready. It happens but I feel like we should have been offered food or drinks while we had to wait for our order to be made. They also then labeled our bao incorrectly so my friend ate half my bao before we figured it out. Aside from the service the food was good. I liked the fusion options. I thought the bao was a bit understuffed. I did enjoy my kung pao chicken more than the bbq pork as it had more components. The breading was nice and fluffy though! The tofu bun was very tasty though! I liked the flavors together. I’d come back for more buns and skip the bao.“

“They make the best tortillas. We drive 40 minutes to Columbia just to get them!“

“Wings and beer. Perfect start to a game day“

“The owners are nice and welcoming. We stopped in for carry out and it only took about 20 minutes to order and get our food. We ended up getting the sweet and sour beef, sweet and sour pork ribs, beef bulgogi and crab rangoon. Everything tasted amazing! The sweet and sour dishes were not overly sweet which is what I was expecting. I will be going back for more.“

“Came here on a whim as a stop between KC and St. Louis. It was a good bit off the highway, but I'm glad we stopped in. The service was good and the food was delicious. I got the Country Fried Chicken and my wife got the Philly. Both were very good, especially the fries.“

“Not a great beer selection, but decent IPA at a low price. The place was really busy on a Saturday night, with lots of college kids watching the game on big screens. They have drinks promotions every day, and free WiFi. Comfortable outside and inside seating areas and friendly staff.“

“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!“

“Delicious food, well-prepared, and relaxing atmosphere“

“We have visited this restaurant several times as I have two grandchildren at MIZZOU. We have always been more than pleased with the food and the service. I also, want to thank the kind manager, who took the time to track me down and let me know they had found a watch that I lost while visiting the restaurant. This was above and beyond. I highly recommend this establishment.“

“The food is great. The staff are old friends when you walk in the door. It is one of a kind! ♥️“

“Would definitely be a regular if I lived in the area! Good portions, tasty food, loved the chips, salsa and queso!“

“It's a must every time im in Columbia absolutely love there pizza..“

“The food was pretty good over all especially for the price. We ordered the trip appetizer and got the cheese bites, chicken strips, and cheese fries. Everything was pretty good. The chicken strips were really good though, moist, cooked perfectly, with a brilliant flavor. The kids fried shrimp was bland in flavor and cold when we got it but that was the only thing wrong with the whole meal. We also got croissants with honey butter that were really good. The mashed potatoes tasted home made and were smooth but not too smooth to seem fake. The burger was huge and cooked perfectly but extremely greasy. Make sure to ask for extra napkins. We had a really kind server who was attentive even though they were extremely busy. She was always on top of our needs and the needs of the others around us. The restaurant itself was so loud it was hard to hear, there were several times where people were singing a version of happy birthday that was just way too loud, if you like that kind of thing though this place would be the place for you. I also noticed there seemed to be a full bar on the other side of a very cool fish tank and a very interesting ceiling fan.“
