McCutchen House is a spectacular historic home at The University of South Carolina Horseshoe that has been transformed into a teaching restaurant and event space. I attended a private Wine tasting featuring Mira Wines from Napa. The charcuterie offered was a perfect selection for the 4 wines being evaluated and enjoyed. The dining room setting was perfect for 20 -25 guests. Tables were set up in a horseshoe for conversation and tasting engagement. Spectacular wines by Mira was the obvious star and purpose for the gathering. Very well crafted Burgundian style Chardonnay started the conversation, followed by Cab. Franc, Petit Verdot and Cab. Sauv. I highly recommend all for your future wine consideration.

This is a student run restaurant at the University of South Carolina that is a class to teach them about restaurant operations. The food and service were excellent. They only accept credit cards (no cash) and tipping is not allowed. You get a full luncheon including salad and dessert with table service for about $15. One of Columbia’s hidden gems!

This review is for McCutchen House’s summer Garden Grill, which is the grill outside of McCutchen House, put on by UofSC hospitality students. The grill always smells so good, stand in line on the brick path through the bushes, decide on a menu item (comes with a drink - lemonade, sweet or unsweet tea, or water), most items come with fruit (or double fruit) slice, pasta salad or chips for $12 plus tax. Ask for a card to get stamped at each visit. They also have gift certificates! This time we had burger (your choice of cheese and condiments) and 2 coney dog special. Really enjoy the pasta salad. Go support UofSC hospitality students!

I don’t know what’s better the food or the customer service.

Delicious food, student run with Hospitality Management School. The bang for your buck is incredible. The tomato pies alone are worth the 12/13 bucks you'll pay for lunch. It comes with biscuits, tomato pies, soup or salad, entrée options that change with the seasons and incredible chocolate pecan pie. Please give this place a try, you won't regret it.
Parking: multiple spots in lot, if by chance not available there is street parking in the area
Wheelchair accessibility: Ramp in the back
Dietary restrictions: Has vegetarian options

It's a student run place and the food was great. We got a chance to try their thanksgiving buffet. It was simply great. I got a lot of vegetarian options. The food was very fresh. Their tomato pie topped everything else I had here. The food is very affordable here. Their menu changes.
I am a super fan, of the food and service. It's absolutely amazing!!!

The atmosphere, the friendly staff, and the food are worth a visit. For $14 a person you are given so much to try and taste. They started with tomato pie mini tart and a cheddar cheese biscuit. I had a salad and the mahi-mahi followed up by the chocolate walnut tart. They food was good, fish was room temperature, rice a little over cooked but the flavors and plating were very appetizing. For a fun experience it is 100% worth it. Remember this is a training for students in the hospitality and food industry, so they may forget the butter or to ask if you want coffee, but super friendly and attentive when asked.

I've been there twice now in the last year. It's a "4 dollar signs" level of experience for a 1 dollar sign level of price! Best of both worlds.
