“The food, service, and atmosphere was off the chain!!! Great place to eat and hangout!!!“

“Very nice atmosphere. The food was amazing. Salmon croquettes, Creole soup and key lime pie. 🤌🏽🤌🏽🤌🏽 The valet Jake was very courteous as well as the waitress Ashton. ✨✨✨“

“Sunday brunch at Ruby Sunshine was a nice mix of sweet and savory. I ordered the chicken and waffles with a side of cheesy grits, while my friend chose the shrimp and grits. The chicken had a crisp coating, and the waffles were fluffy with lightly browned edges. The grits were creamy and went well with the savory dishes. The dining room had a busy brunch crowd, but the staff kept things moving without making us feel rushed.“

“Great food and great service!“

“I will say, this place had some of the best chicken I've ever had, customer service wasnt amazing, not the worst, but I was there during the lunch rush so is understanding.. but that chicken was so good, ide deal with really bad service to get some more!“

“My husband was taken to this restaurant two weekends ago and now we have to drive to Columbia just for this restaurant because it has ruined him! LOL 🤣 By the way, we are driving over an hour to eat there! See you guys tomorrow! Delicioso! My husband can't wait!!!!! 😋👍❤️ I give this place five stars and I haven't even ate there!!!!“

“I wanted to rave about the manager, Eddie, and chef, Jonathan. On Friday, I inquired about accommodating my stringent dietary restrictions, and they proactively exceeded expectations. My requirements included the exclusive use of pure olive oil in the preparation of my meal. Initially, I expressed concern that my options might be limited to broccoli and a simple salad. Manager Eddie assured me that this was unacceptable and suggested I contact the chef the following day to discuss my needs. Following this conversation, Chef Jonathan promptly developed a suitable solution. I ordered the brick chicken, prepared using only olive oil, rosemary, and thyme—a dish perfectly aligned with my dietary limitations. The meal was exquisite, and I thoroughly enjoyed dining with my friends. accommodate my very strict food intolerances, and they went out of their way to do just that. I needed my dishes to be cooked in pure olive oil, amongst other things. At first, I told Eddie it looked like I could only have broccoli and a salad with minimal toppings. He said, "You can't come here and just eat salad and broccoli." He then said to call the next day, and he would get the chef on the phone to discuss my food concerns. I called the next day, and Jonathan quickly had an idea. I ordered the brick chicken, which only had olive oil, rosemary, and thyme. Exactly what I was able to eat. It was delicious, and I was so thrilled to eat out with my friends. I so appreciate both of them going out of their way for me.“

“This is one of my favorite spots in Columbia! They have an amazing rooftop with great energy. You can get food up there too although the menu is slightly limited and more geared towards small plates-- which makes sense for a rooftop anyway! In the main dining area service is excellent. I could eat the mushroom toast every day- it's that good! As a wine professional I appreciate their thoughtful selections, there's something for everyone. Much love!“

“Got a Chiken Biscuit, Chili Cheese Hot Dog, and a Large Sweet Tea.
Food is pretty good and the people there are rather nice.
The prices are rather very affordable as where most would charge your more money for the same things.

Would Highly Recommend trying them out for yourself.

Good Breakfast and Lunch.“

“Had my first visit. The staff was great and the food was incredible. The most fresh and satisfying meal I have had in a while.“

“Amazing Oysters, possibly the best we have ever had! And the staff is incredible! We had the pleasure of meeting “Mother Shucker,” she is one of the kindest people I have ever met and her award winning sauce was out of this world!!! I highly recommend it!“

“I was very late to my current job, and despite my manager’s assurances that I ironically helped them out, I was fairly bummed out. The vibe of Loveland immediately helped my mood. The baristas are very knowledgeable,and super helpful. One barista helped me remedy the fact I left without getter my something for my wife! I am about to start teaching with K12, and I feel Loveland would be an excellent alternative to host my lessons for when I need to get out of the house. I bet you can guess my discipline based upon this review that never touched any AI. Loveland feels like a lighthouse for people that are navigating their own personal storms. Thank you for providing that light that steered me away from the perilous waters of the current rocky terrain that is life in 2026. Thank you for being awesome!“

“gorgeous establishment run by a mega diva ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“From top to bottom, beginning to end, A to Z, etc, etc, we've never had a bad experience at Lula Drake. The cocktails and wines are constantly updating and always exciting. The food is delicious - from the pasta special Wednesdays to burger night Thursdays - you can never go wrong. Pro tip: add the iberico. The staff are all amazing. Lula Drake has come to feel like our very own Cheers in downtown Columbia in the very best way.
Cameron never fails us, and I only wish they were open Sundays and Mondays, too.“

“Excellent variety and taste.“

“We went to Luzianna Purchase's 2nd evening, 5 course dinner and it was fabulous! Each course had a wine pared with it that made it very elegant. Thomas and Mary Katherine explained each course and where the ingredients came from. The atmosphere was warm and personal; we entered as strangers and left with new friends.“

“Great food and excellent service! I tried stuffed grape leaves and Chicken Chawarma. All was just great!“

“Cute little place to hang around and get some work done! Great selection of coffee and tea, friendly staff, and very reasonably priced.“

“Absolutely phenomenal experience! The Thai noodle bowl was packed with flavor and cooked perfectly. The owners were incredibly welcoming and made the whole experience feel personal and authentic. Combined with the amazing atmosphere, this place easily earns five stars. Can’t wait to come back!“

“Was there for brunch. It was delicious!“

“Had the best meal here today! Get the strawb12therry shortcake-it was amazing. We tried the ribs,pulled pork,brisket, greens, Mac n cheese, and cornbread. I personally liked the dark, thick red sauce (Ga Folks it's good!) but they give you three sauces to go with the bbq. Warning- the greens are kinda on the sweet side- they're different. They're not nasty but not your regular greens. Awesome jewel in Columbia!“

“Salsa had great flavor. everything we ordered was amazing.“

“Went for the 1st time today!!! Great S’Mores Latte & loved the Rosemary Potato Bowl w/ Salmon. I did not like that Dogs (non-service dogs) were walking freely. I would not prefer dogs around me while I’m trying to enjoy my food.“

“I’m not sure which I liked more, the fabulous food or the most delightful waitress Blake. Both will make this a regular stop on our travels.“

“I celebrated my 60th birthday at Bourbon, and they did NOT disappoint! 🎉 From the moment we arrived, the service was absolutely amazing—friendly, attentive, and on point. And let’s talk about the drinks…🔥 THEY WERE FIRE! Everything about the experience made my birthday celebration even more special. Great friends, great atmosphere, great service, and great drinks! If you’re looking for a place to celebrate a special occasion, Bourbon is definitely worth a visit. I had an amazing time and would absolutely go back! 🥂✨“

“Groucho’s Deli is a consistently great sandwich stop 🥪🔥 The menu is simple but really well executed, and everything comes out fresh and satisfying.

One of the best parts is how affordable it stays, especially compared to a lot of other quick lunch spots. It’s the kind of place you can rely on for a solid meal without overthinking it or overspending.

Easy, consistent, and always hits the spot 👍“

“It’s a popcorn haven and the hotdogs are delicious 😋!!!“

“Me encantó todo! Muy amables!“

“First time and will be the first of many! Absolutely amazing! Service, atmosphere, presentation everything was so great! Our server Kasim was so friendy, promt and knowledgeable! Being our first time trying Indian food, outside of samosas, he was helpful in our selection and spice level😁💯💯💯💯 A 100% recommendation! Somasas, chili paneer, garlic naan, butter chicken, lamb biryani, mango lassi (smoothie) THANK YOU FOR THE BEST DINNER! Food: 5/5 | Service: 5/5 | Atmosphere: 5/5“

“The food is always good! The service today was fast and Kenya gave exceptional service!“

“We are from out of town visiting and wanted to try something new. We had a child with celiac so that can be difficult. This place had amazing servers and amazing food!! Def recommend for food and atmosphere!!“

“In town for a week and I wanted some coffee that wasn’t from the typical chains.

This is it!! I want a refill right now 🤣🤣

I took a suggestion from another review and ordered a “cookie butter latter with caramel drizzle and cold foam.” 10/10 I love it. I would’ve definitely gotten it sweeter but it is sweet. And it was only $6.11!!!

The employees were kind and friendly.

Great coffee. I will be back next time I’m in town.“

“Great local grocery store with friendly/helpful staff! Nice selection of items with a delicious deli too.“

“we have hosted our Lake Carolina book club there for the last 2 months. The treats and drinks have been amazing. The staff is so wonderful! they were helpful, friendly and quick. I can't wait to host more meetings at Light house“

“I had my first lunch with the restaurant in Columbia today and it was a GREAT experience! Definitely the very bbq in the area! Totally enjoyed the food, as well as the friendly demeanor of all who we came in contact with. I’m going to use the catering soon for an event at work and cannot wait for everyone to try it out! Thanks so much for your hard work!“

“First time here and everything was delicious and the staff so nice! We ordered chicken bulgogi and beef bulgogi. Both were tasty but I preferred the spiciness and tenderness of the chicken bulgogi. I will definitely be back and even take out would be high on my list!“

“Lots of local brew options on tap, food came out quick even though they were busy, great service at the bar from Cooper during JerryFest! Grateful Thanks!“

“Yummm!!! We got the Shitake Mushroom Pizza and it did not disappoint. The staff was amazing and loved to find out that it’s family friendly and named after the owners son!! Will be back next time we’re in the area 😊“

“I wish there were more locations in my area. I've always been happy with what I've chosen. I've tried the Sweet & Salty, the Blondie, the Orange Sherbet shake (which tastes just like a push-up ice cream), and the funnel cake macchiato.“

“What a pleasure to go to a restaurant with good food and great staff. Will definitely make this one of our favorites to go to again and again!!!“

“Great food and outstanding service“

“Villa Tronco is absolute perfection! The food, service, and charming atmosphere create the best vibe. I have to rave about their sauces—they are incredibly rich, flavorful, and truly make the dishes stand out. The Chicken Tronco was phenomenal, and the Espresso Martini is out of this world. We also tried a variety of other cocktails, and every single one was delicious. Everyone in our group raved about the egg rolls and pizza. To top it all off, they are voted the best for a reason—so many delicious desserts to try. I'm already looking forward to trying the crab cakes and amaretto cheesecake next time. Definitely a classic dining experience that I will be enjoying again soon!.“

“Omg this is the best Jamaican food in the city hands down not to down play any other Jamaican restaurants here in Columbia but this here is so authentic!!! The spice’s lawd let’s not talk about the cabbage the ginger hitting every time😩😩😩😩“
