“If you're out after 11pm definitely stop by and get the Salmon Bites with fries! Made fresh to order and had a good movie playing while you wait. I'm coming back for another plate tonight“

“8-20-25 around 8:25pm these ladies were amazing!! Speedy service very friendly all smiles. It was a rush and these ladies held their composure! It was a great experience. The best experience I’ve had at this location hands down. I got a salad 🥗 bowl and pita chips and red pepper hummus. It was amazing. Thank you ladies ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“The food and service were impeccable!“

“ANGELA!!!! This woman goes above and beyond for the customers of this restaurant. Her bright and positive smile always has the most uplifting effect on my day and it makes me want to come back daily. She was quick and intentional with her work and helped me navigate my different allergies with ease. Everyone come see Angela at Cava Vista

“I work nearby and thought I’d check it out for lunch. They were slammed when I walked in, but the line moved quickly and efficiently. Staff making the sandwiches were courteous and accommodating. Sandwich was delicious and fresh. They have a daily special which includes a sandwich, chips and drink for about $10. I got a turkey and ham sub on white and it hit the spot!“

“Vegans, Vegetarians, and Plant- Based Foodies: THIS REVIEW IS FOR YOU! Are you craving something more healthy and whole? Are you tired of going out to eat with your meat eater friends but being reduced to some fries or a bland salad ? LOOK NO FURTHER! Cava has something for EVERYONE! The prices are reasonable and the dining area inside of the restaurant is clean and spacious. There are plenty of options for parking in the area. The employee who helped me may have been named Kayla. She had such a sweet energy and was extremely helpful with helping me decide how to customize my grain bowl. Many of the dressings and dips are vegan and the hummus is to die for! She even let me try a few samples of the dressings to help me decide. Cava has vegan options to substitute in the place of meat like falafel and roasted veggies. Their drinks are healthy and refreshing. When I took the first bite of my food , I started doing a happy dance. When all of the flavors come together, it sends your tastebuds on an awesome ride ! It was exactly what I needed: delicious and filling. Check out Cava and bring your friends and family with you! You won't be disappointed!“

“Highly recommend the Lemon Chicken Platter - it comes with yellow rice and salad (and was very tasty).🍋🍗🍚🥗🤤👍💯❗️“

“My husband and I had a great experience. The food was really good and the customer service was great. My husband and I have been complaining about the food experience in Columbia, but Mission BBQ was a pleasant surprise. We enjoyed it so much that we ordered more food to go.“

“The fried rice was greasy and the wings were old and dried out, as if they were cooked the day before. Terrible food. I would have taken it back for a refund if I stayed closer to restaurant. I had to throw the wings away, too hard to eat. That was not fresh cooked chicken or rice. I ordered in restaurant and my order was brought to me in less than 5 minutes (old food). This is the first time I have had s problem with their food.“

“All the food is soooo Good!! My partner on the the ambulance ate all her food,left no crumbs!! Thank you Rib City, I will be back for more delicious Ribs, Chicken,Hash, Chitterlings,Greens,Macncheese“

“some of the best pizza I've ever had.“

“Great food ! This is the closest we have came to authentic Mexican Food since we moved from California. Fajitas were very tasty , salsa had good flavor . And the service was friendly and food came out fast !“

“My wife made reservations here for our before Maxwell and Kem concert dinner. The atmosphere is laid back, with great music. We shared the Genesis salad, which was delicious. She had the Lamb chops, sauteed asparagus and Top Tier Mac & Cheese. She shared her asparagus and it tasted great! I dined on the Reef and Beef, which consisted of a 10 oz steak with shrimp in a garlic butter, Top Tier Mac & Cheese, and Glazed carrots. Everything was delicious! Now, I can't wait to try the salmon, or wings and the smoked collards. Do yourself a big favor and book your table. You will not be disappointed!!!“

“Had a ladies lunch today for a birthday
food was fresh and all orders were perfect.
Excellent service!
We brought in our own dessert and they plated and served.
Nice little gift shop/market attached.
Highly recommend!!“

“Everything about this deli ROCKS!!!!“

“Great place to grab lunch. The food is so good!!“

“Great food you must try them out“

“Absolutely delicious pizza and salad! The staff is so talented and very kind and accommodating!“

“We got a calzone and Stromboli. Both were absolutely delicious. Only complaint is how long it took to wait for our orders. Apple Maps said they were open late at night, Google maps said they were closed. Glad we walked over there to find them open after 1am.“

“Nice battery brewery with small menu of traditional bar food. Wide selection of beers that is updated regularly. Not a huge selection of food, but the pizza I ordered was fairly large and tasted like pizza. A lot of space to sit so large groups can be accommodated, including both indoors and outdoors. The building is an old airplane hanger and includes a large amount of brewing equipment which is really cool to see. A great spot to hang out and drink with friends.“

“This food is amazing! Nico was my server and he was so pleasant and attentive. I will definitely be back!“

“MY NEW FAVORITE PLACE! The food was incredible and the atmosphere perfect! I didn't get our server's name (curly hair on top) but he was fantastic, very attentive!“

“food was great and the staff was super friendly and so nice“

“We stumbled upon this place while waiting on our street market to setup. The staff and food were amazing. We'll definitely be back. They have outside seating so we'll bring the dogs next time.“

“It’s always a great visit at Chick Fil A but this one was top tier!

When I came in two corporate Chick Fil A men were heading out , and one opened the door for me . When I walked up , the cashier immediately said “Are you picking up or Placing an Order” , immediately ready to service me! She let me know she would take my order as soon as I was ready.

Dave placed my order. He was knowledgeable about the Tortilla Soup I asked about.

Food was DELICIOUS! I got the 12 ct nugget and decided to give to soup a try for the first time. Wonderful choice. Absolutely delicious! Just perfect. Love the hint of spice ! Just enough!

Lastly, Marie came around and made sure my meal was tasty and took my tray when I was done eating.

I was in the mall and almost went to the CFA there but opted out . Glad I did. I love this location.

Definitely enjoyed my lunch on my day off .

Wonderful team, Chick Fil A !“

“Kendal was excellent,“

“Love Lillian, her staff and her food! Always 5 ⭐️!!“

“Great experience! Top tier! 10/10“

“Always clean and friendly staff!“

“Great place to grab a quick meal to eat-in or to carry out. The breads, meats, cheeses, and vegetables are always fresh. Not only is the food delicious, the service is great as everyone seems to enjoy working there. I am always greeted with a smile and a verbal welcome. The restaurant is always clean. The parking lot in front is a bit tight during peak hours but there is plenty of parking on the side of the building. I love Leo's Deli!!“

“The food is dependable and always good. I don't like the way Chick-fil-A has taken to making all of the drive-thrus a nightmare. traffic is everywhere, running in different directions, and it is quite confusing. God forbid somebody hit one of the cones and render it out of place“

“The young man working the front counter gets an A+ in Customer Service. He was cheerful & helpful. After he made sure I was happy with my purchase, he came around the counter to help the customer prior to me get her drinks (while I grabbed napkins) & opened the door for both of us to exit. The workers in the kitchen were jovial while busy at their tasks. The pizza tasted great! Kudos to the whole team“

“The BEST pizza in town“

“Outstanding Service Thanks to Astrid!
Our visit to Chick-fil-A was absolutely amazing, and Astrid truly made the experience exceptional. From the moment we were greeted, she was warm, professional, and genuinely attentive. She took the time to make sure our order was correct, answered questions with a smile, and made us feel welcomed and valued as guests.
The food was fresh, hot, and prepared perfectly exactly what you expect from Chick-fil-A but Astrid’s customer service took it to another level. She checked in on us, made sure we had everything we needed, and did it all with a positive attitude that made the visit memorable.
It’s rare to come across service that feels so sincere and caring. Astrid is a true asset to the team, and because of her, this was more than just a quick meal it was a great experience. We’ll definitely be back!“

“Great food and great staff..“

“I never had a bad experience at any of the Chic-Fil-A. They are all awesome. This one goes above and beyond! This is what keeps customers coming back, because we know they will get your order right and we can depend on them that the food would be fresh!“

“It’s late they are closing, cleaning, probably tired as well but the night time manager KP still ptt fr voided good service. Food is still fresh and hot!! She helped me with my order and was very nice very good customer service. It’s always hard finding food around this time of night for me when I get off. Thanks KP❤️ good people do still exist y’all!“

“I placed a mobile order and mistakenly entered in this location. Andrew called me and said my order was ready. I was at a neighboring CFA. They obviously didn’t have my mobile order so I called Andrew back to let home know I was headed his way. He was so pleasant and walked out to me car as he saw me approaching…..and it was a rainy rainy day! They even gave me hot fresh fries! Customer service at CFA is a gold standard. I appreciate Andrew!!“

“Just a quick drop in from shopping. Sat at the bar area. Great atmosphere and everyone was warm and inviting. Food was great but I wanted medium well, and it was medium. Not a show stopper at all, expertly seasoned.... I enjoyed it nonetheless regardless. Bartender, she was very much attentive. Its very appreciated. Thank you.“

“Better chicken than Zaxby's or Popeyes. Fries are okay. The jar deserts are a TAD over priced but they're amazing. Only dinging a star on service because they had me pull forward at the window and wait in a parking spot. But it was very busy after church on Sunday. Really enjoyed it.“

“This store is well run but it is so popular during rush eating hours especially on weekends that they make mistakes or don't give minor items like sauces or dressing. Check your orders no matter how large!
The food is very good though so that is my only issue. Give then a try, you will enjoy it.“

“Because the restaurant is always busy and crowded I barely come but when I do the service is always great, I always get all my condiments, order is correct. I just had them a couple days ago and it hit the spot. My issues were that they forgot to put my fries from the 2 combos in the bag so I had to go back luckily I just drove across the road just to get out the way due to the high traffic to check the bag. The other issue I had on this visit and has happened another time before is. If I have to wait on fresh Mac and cheese to complete my order, I expect to have some type of the baked cheese from the top as well but I didn't have any so that was a disappointment because I can understand if that wasn't a fresh pan but it was and I had to wait for it so to not have no cheese (and this is one of my favorite foods Mac and cheese) was a let down a little. Other than that everything was great.“

“I fully enjoyed my time here!! It was nice inside.. and service was quick... Straight to a table.... And the food came pretty quick.... Next thing I know I had the check!! Our waiter was amazing... Wish I could remember his name....I read the reviews before going and was about to no come.. but I ended up there and had a complete opposite experience. All smiles over here!!! 😊😊😊“

“Best pizza around! Greek salad is awesome, good prices too.“
