New American Restaurants in Columbia, SC

“GREAT PLACE! So relieved we found this place with it being so packed for the game all weekend. The staff (our waitress was new and just moved down from New York - she was the BEST). Atmosphere was just what we were looking for to watch football and eat good food before the game. There were 5 of us and we all loved everything. When we visit again this will be top on our list.“

“My annual work trip to Columbia has a secret mission - a pilgrimage to Hunter Gatherer for their shrimp and grits. Want to know a secret? I don’t usually like shrimp and grits, but I LOVE their shrimp and grits. Service is impeccable and personable. The experience is worth dealing with local parking which I would classify as doable but not immediate.

For those bacon lovers among us, get the shrimp and grits.“

“Visited MSC on a busy afternoon for lunch. Watson took great care of me and answered all my questions and made suggestions.

I got the Katsu Sandwich and the cheese board and they were both scrumptious! Wish I had two stomachs because I had to leave some of the cheese board behind ?

10/10 would recommend! Perfect for a business lunch, girls night out, or a special dinner!

Vegetarian options: The day I had lunch there was only one vegetarian item on the menu.

Wheelchair accessibility: There is a big bump to get into the rear dining area that might be difficult in a manual wheelchair ?“

“Fantastic venue with great people! Indoor and outdoor seating and seem to have a great choice when it comes to who is playing! Please stop by there if you ever get the chance

Parking: The Aristocrat is on a corner lot so it is surrounded by street parking that is free after 6:00“

“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!“

“We had a great time. Great vibe. Hookah was good. The customer service was great as well. Nice clean atmosphere. Definitely a 9/10! Honestly would do a 10/10 but it was very hot. We will be back.“

“We always enjoy a great burger here, and they even have gluten free buns! Customer service is fantastic! The wait staff is polite, informative, and give just the right amount of service... and not hovering. Each time we have eaten here, the manager checks in with us to make sure everything is as it should be. Perhaps it was the last time we ate here, I happened to forget an unusual drinking cup. I was totally surprised when today the waitress saw I had a similar one with me and inquired if I might have left one behind. They kept it safe for a few weeks and returned it to me! #10+ for that service!“

“My husband and I met up with some friends at BJ Tavern yesterday and had such a positive experience that I had to brag about it on Google. First of the all, I love how BJ Tavern allows me to go onto their online app to see what the wait time is. Afterwards, it allows me to put my name down to reserve some seats so by the time I arrive, my seat are ready or just about ready. It was great!

Second, the drinks we ordered were delicious. I ordered the snow man drink, while everyone else enjoys some beer. Everyone was happy with their choices.

Third, the food was delicious. We all ordered different things. I had the Cheeseburger with Fries and a free Pizookie Salt Caramel dessert. My husband had the Chicken Parmigiana Pasta and our friends ordered some Chicken Tenders and Salads. We all finished out plates. It was so good.

Lastly, but most of all, our waitress was Lauren. She was quick to greet us with a big smile. She took our drink orders and brought them back quickly. I could see that she was juggling several tables around us, but she never missed a beat. She was great to stopping by to make sure everything was going well. She paid great attention to our cups and make sure the were never empty. I highly recommend giving her a bonus or raise for the positive attitude she carries no matter how many customers are pulling her in different directions.“

“Good service, yummy food, yummy margs“

“During my recent inaugural visit to Upper Crust, I was treated to a truly exceptional experience. Guiding me through the culinary journey was Christopher, our attentive server whose warmth and knowledge of the menu were remarkable. Christopher not only provided insightful recommendations but also ensured our glasses were never empty and our food arrived promptly. The dishes were served piping hot and exuded freshness, a testament to the quality upheld under the new ownership, of which Christopher proudly shared his involvement as part of the management team. To encapsulate my satisfaction, I can only urge you to request Christopher's service when you next visit. He truly deserves a raise for his outstanding hospitality.“
