Came here with one of my very good friends, a Bestie, and we were greeted with delight. Our server, Emmalee, promptly greeted us with enthusiasm. We gave her our drink order and she returned promptly. I’ve had many meals and this is by far one of the best ones that I’ve had lately. Combine service with good food and you know the combination. Tomato pie? Delicious. I had the chicken scallopini and it was wonderful. My friend had the crabcakes and they were equally as good. We were then given caramel laced cheesecake and walnut pie and they were both so good. All this for 30 bucks?! I’ll be going back. Thank you to George for coming to check on us and making sure everything was up to their standards…and Emmalee needs a shout out once again. Thank you. You get an A+ in my book.

I just went in for something quick between classes and I was very pleased! Everyone working was so nice, the atmosphere was great. The soup was DELICIOUS, and I got so much for only ~$4. I will definitely be coming back for a dine in meal with my friends.

The Garden Grill open here during the summer is great! Everything on the menu is $15 and they give you a punch card. At the end you get a free meal, also Tuesday is double punch day.

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.
