“We love coming here! KC was our waitress tonight and she was the best server we have ever had here. She was friendly and knowledgeable, and full of recommendations to have the best dining experience. Highly recommend the spicy beef bulgogi and the KPot steak.”

“We went for lunch and were lucky to get the last table outside. The atmosphere was great. Even though it was very busy, the service was excellent and Anne Marie was outstanding. We had the chicken ranch wrap and sweet potato fries, both were delicious with generous portions and a fair price. Refills came quickly without having to ask. We will definitely be back.”

“The lady who treated us was So nice and she smiled the whole time and she even asked us if our cookie looked right just in case and she let me change a cookie and the cookies were amazing not baked to deal hard but not underbake to wear. They’re literally just cookie dough, but I do like how they have that cookie dough feeling.”

“I never leave reviews, but this place is just too good to not share. The drinks are unique and delicious (My favorite is the Island Boi, or the Orange Creamsicle one, or maybe the Coco Loco one 😂😂). And the food is incredible! I’ve never had anything there that I didn’t love. My favorites are the hush puppies, hummus, Veg Fil A sandwich, and the rice and beans bowl. This time when we went, the chef added protein crumbles, nacho cheese, and green onions on top and it was even better. My son loves the Hoot sandwich and he’s 10 years old and usually non-vegan….so that’s a huge compliment to the flavor of that sandwich. On top of all this, the place is just cool. The atmosphere is so comfortable and inviting, like I could stay all night if I didn’t have to put my kid to bed! 🤣 I just really love this place and I’m so glad to see it added to our neighborhood!!”

“I have been here a few times, with multiple groups of people, and we have yet to leave disappointed! I absolutely CANNOT go without ordering at MINIMUM the Duck Wings & the Mushrooms.. The atmosphere is cozy yet fun, and you truly feel like you’ve entered a garden atmosphere! Their Happy Hour is truly one of the best in Columbia—HALF-OFF ALL APPETIZERS SEEMS CRIMINAL WHEN THEY ARE THIS GOOD! Our waitress, Molly, was absolutely amazing! Attentive, friendly, and anticipated our every need! As for food, the menu changes seasonally, so I was lucky enough to try my all-time favorites—the duck wings & mushrooms—while trying some new ones! The Owner made sure to come to our table and ask how everything was—which is refreshing because we saw him working his tail off all night and truly helping his workers thrive! Don’t even get me started on the cocktails 🫠 If you have not been here, you 100% need to make this your next Lunch, Happy Hour, or Dinner option!! Every menu is amazing!”
