I’m only mad that we haven’t discovered this place sooner. Had the berry glazed biscuit special, short rib hash and biscuits and red gravy. Everything was amazing with super friendly staff. Definitely coming back.

My first time at BLD and definitely not my last. Food was amazing, I had the short rib hash and eggs. Definitely a hit. Even though they had a full house and were short staffed, the staff were still friendly and attentive and smiled the entire time. Definitely recommend.

Met some friends for lunch here. The atmosphere was fun, the server was quirky but attentive, and the food items we ordered all looked amazing. The avocado toast looked absolutely scrumptious. A friend had the daily special of grilled cheese and tomato soup reporting it was solid. I opted to splurge and spend my calories on a burger and fries. The fries were the highlight as they had a really delicious seasoning! The others who chose salads all commented they were tasty.

My husband and I just came in this morning for the first time and everything was sooo good!! Service was fast and the atmosphere is very chill like a modern diner feel. The playlist was amazing, took us way back.

I would rate this restaurant a 0 but I don't have that option. I visited this diner in Jun 2022. The food was not bad but it was the service from the waitress. My husband and I walked in first and we are African Americans, another Black family walked in with a party of about four people after us. We were all seated and then a White family walked in with a party of three. After that family walked in it was like they were the only ones in the diner. The waitress took our order first but the white family got their food first and she took their order ahead of the other Black family. She even went over and had a personal conversation with them. By the time my husband and I along with the other Black family got our meal the white Family was almost finished with their meal. I wanted to approach the waitress but my husband say No we just want come back. I tried calling BLD and left a message and none called back. I will never go back to this Restaurant!!!!

The food was a little slow to come out, but well worth the wait. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive. My coffee and water never went empty and I was well taken care of. Shout out to Lauren for the exceptional service.

The business owner at this location is very rude and did not have very good customer service skills. I waited almost an hr to receive my daughters food (Turkey sausage, toast and grits) when the food came out almost an hr later the grits was cold. They took them back and brought out more but I can tell they just popped them in the microwave to reheat them up because all the oil was sitting on top. I ordered a patty melt with onion rings, which I never received the onion rings. Instead of them asking if I still wanted them they decided just to remove them off the ticket. The owner finally came over and had the worst attitude about the whole situation. Not one time did he apologize about the wait, he just proceeded to grab all the dishes aggressively, saying that I was know different from everyone else. (Never claimed I was) I was patient and polite the whole time. The staff at this location was great and she apologized about the whole thing and complimented me on how patient and calm I was about the whole situation. A suggestion to the owner, maybe you need to hire a manger and YOU stay behind the scene and let someone with a better attitude run the place because your customer service skills and the way you handled the situation was piss poor.

Absolutely love this place! We just moved to the area and wanted to enjoy some good food and good vibes. The owner was nice and welcoming and our server was so sweet, she made sure we had our waters filled promptly. The price is reasonable for the fresh food, will definitely return!

Hands down one of the most amazing diners my boyfriend and I have ever been to. I don't even know how to begin to describe how amazing their food was, staff was incredibly kind and attentive, lovely out door seating for couples.My boyfriend and I aren't from Columbia, but this diner alone warrant a day trip back.
It was okay for a one time visit, food okay, service was okay, just not enough for a return visit-meal

Beautiful place, fast service, friendly staff, and delicious food. I got the chicken and waffles and they were really good. My friend got French toast and they were great!

I absolutely love this restaurant!!! It’s not your typical “diner.” The inside is well decorated and a comfortable place to dine. The waitress is so nice and crazy smart. No mater what you order she will remember all of it without writing anything down lol. The food is excellent and I recommend it to everyone! I come her as often as I can!.

My husband and I had breakfast here today because The Original Pancake House was slammed. The food was decent but they have red sausage gravy which is very visually unappealing and just weird. We were told that there is tomato in it which accounts for the red color but our thought is why? You can't taste it so why not leave it out and keep the gravy traditional? My biscuit was cold and I had to ask for butter and jelly. There were very few customers so we expected more attention to the service. The music was way too loud as well. The food isn't worth the cost. We'll go back to our favorite breakfast restaurant, mentioned above because their prices are reasonable, their food is tasty, and their service is excellent.

Dropped in here Sunday at 11am. Wait time stated at 10min. Seated within 10min. From order of food to delivery on the table was over an hour. Manager didn't seem to care that people were being seated while average ticket times were growing ridiculous. Food was good, but not ok to fill up your seats and make people wait that long for eggs. There is a reason the stated wait time is 10 min and pancake house is 2 hours.
