Nice little Mom and Pop style place. Food is just as good as chains without the overhead.. The people there are friendly and attentive. I spent $15 dollars but there was enough food for two meals if you portion it correctly.

I've been eating the Rosewood Dairy Bar for decades. It's the most affordable excellence in quick-serve dining in Columbia. It's NOT a typical fast-food experience. It's family-owned and family-friendly and the food is like my mother used to make. It is not just a restaurant, it's a tradition. It's quick, but nothing is rushed.
I don't want to overdo it here, but I honestly don't know how NOT to. Let me tall you about some of my personal favorites. Their fried chicken, BLTs, barbecue, and grilled cheese are all superb. Plus, I HIGHLY recommend their divine vanilla milkshakes. It's the only flavor I've tried.
The employees I've met have always been friendly and and accomodating, and the place is spotless. I'm disabled now, but my dear friend David eats there several times a week, and he always remembers what a fan I am, so he gets mine to go--even if he's not working here that day.
Math is not my forte, so let me just state that that I'm sitting in my living room about a mile away and I've tried hard to bring up a memory of a lousy experience at the Rosewood Dairy Bar. I can't bring one up. No kidding.
Any negative reviews you may read about the Dairy Bar are, in my opinion, either left by competitors, or someone in a very grouchy mood. FYI, this review is being left by someone with extensive experience and absolutely no connection to the Rosewood Dairy Bar family in any way other than dining.

I have been coming here all my life because I grew up in Rosewood- sadly, and suddenly, it has gone downhill. That's an understatement.
I stopped spontaneously to get a dipped soft-serve about a month ago. Besides the one before this earlier in the summer, every other soft serve I've ever gotten here was firm, creamy, and had defined edges/a distinct swirl when it was dipped.
Well, this one awful. The soft serve itself was melting so dang fast, it was icey, flavorless, and falling off the cone. The chocolate dip didn't even fully coat it, I think because it was so loose that the person making it couldn't actually dip it.
She handed it to me as it dripped all over her, my hands, the napkins. It was a complete, hard-to-eat mess. I was shocked she even thought it was okay to serve. I three most of it away because it was a flavorless, gross soup in about 3 minutes.
I'm so disappointed bc this was my favorite soft serve joint in town. So nostalgic. I guess that's all it is now. I will not be going back. š

I see why I stopped going here! It use to be so good but not sure if they are under new management but itās definitely not the same. All of my wings were covered in feathers. Absolutely disgusting! Couldnāt eat it because of all the feathers. My coleslaw was warm so I didnāt eat it because I was too afraid of getting sick. Should have went to Bernieās.

Echoing the other comments. Iād question whether there is something truly wrong with the Freon in the ice cream machine. It truly tastes like gasoline. Just not edible unfortunately. People were fine but had to throw ice cream away and my mouth had the lingering taste of gasoline for about 5 hours.

Rosewood Dairy Bar....Shame on you! You should be ashamed serving nasty propane smell/taste ice cream. My 76yr old mother was so sick and daughter threw away her milkshake after one sip before she drank the rest. Inspection please come and see for yourself. Don't get fooled by them anymore.
Reallllly bad ice cream. Foul. Didnāt know that was possible actually. Threw it away.

We bought 3 ice cream cones and they tasted like chemicals. They say it is lactose free, but it tasted like gasoline (and weāve had their ice cream before). They would not refund our money. Poor customer serviceā they just watched as we threw our cones away. Would not recommend. Weāll never go back!

Awesome staple in Columbia to stop by and grab good old fashioned hot dogs hamburgers shakes sundae and floats. My favorite part is they still have reasonable prices

This is what happen to my nephew and this is the cashier(rosewood dairy bar.. I walk up and sheās on her phone. I politely say āhello, how are you today?ā No reply, other then, āwhat do you want?ā
I said a hamburger basket plainā¦. This is where it got interesting lol.. she said what kind of burger? Me perplexed cause I looked at this menu 100 times and all there is beef burgers. So I asked what do you mean.. she got so nasty and was like, hamburger, cheeseburger, all the way, etc.. so I replied just a hamburger, she got mad and said so no cheese. At this point I was done, I gave her a cold stare and said really slowly, plain hamburger.. she gives my food and I check and itās missing the fryās š so I asked for them and she yelled at me, āyou gotta say that!ā We started to argue about it, then I just ended it and said just let me pay for my fryās so I can leave. )

we were on a run and stoped for milkshakes and they tasted like straight metal or some toxic gas and then when we told them about it, they said that there were no refunds for food that you ādonāt likeā and that it was fine. it wasnāt just one milkshake, but many and another lady came back and said something and they were righting it off as ā lactose freeā and thatās why it tasted bad. do not get the shakes/ice cream. also the people were rude about it.
