27 Best American Restaurants in West Columbia

“A friend and I have regular dinner dates at Terra and we always have a great time! Tonight we had the shishito peppers, Chinese pork belly, snapper and the braised lamb pappardelle followed by the olive oil cake with sweet cream eggplant ice cream. We both agreed it was one of our top meals over the past several years at Terra and cannot wait until our next date! Quality, consistency and service are always top notch, and the one time we tried another restaurant for our date night we totally regretted it and went right back to Terra for our next meetup. Thank you Terra for being so reliable and delivering some of the best bites in the area, you are our gem!“

“found by accident. my family and I have eaten 3 times this month.“

“We had brunch here yesterday at 10:00. There was already a line out the door when they opened. The service was kind and efficient. My wife enjoyed her breakfast bowl, but my brisket biscuit had more cheese than meat. I had higher expectations.“

“One of my favorites...always great“

“Good produce, local, friendly. Don't just go there to buy...engage, ask questions, be an active participant in the process. :)“

“My husband and I ate here while in Columbia for the day, food was good, no complaints, I got a hamburger plate and my husband got a meat & 3, not alot of people but it was around 11am so a little early for lunch, the workers were very friendly, building was older but it was clean. I would definitely eat there again“

“Food and service was great! The bartender was very friendly and welcoming going above and beyond to help the customers.“

“hell i dont know when to go there as they cannot be depended on to be open, as i guess they could 10 times the size if you would know when they will be open“

“This Ruby Tuesday West Columbia location is one of my favorite restaurants to go to and eat from. During my mommy lifetime we would go to.I know that most restaurants are feeling the Crunch in Customer Service. Not having enough people to accommodate the load at most restaurants. Let’s not forget to Tip. It’s needed for their survival to make it in this world.“

“This bar and grill had some jam up food! I got the flatbread pizza and my husband got the chicken wings! We also had the fried green tomatoes appetizer and the sauce was absolutely amazing that comes with it! We enjoyed playing a few games of pool and having a couple of cocktails! The service was also very good! We will be back!“

“Lovely atmosphere, great owners, pool tables, food and bartenders. Highly recommend to the people in the west columbia area“

“Love ❤❤❤❤ and of course the food“

“This krispy Krunchy Chicken location is better than the peanut store, aka mobile one in pelion. Pelion location has undercooked biscuits, and the tenders are overcooked and flavorless. This chicken is juicy full of flavor, and the biscuits are cooked all the way through.“

“absolutely great food and friendly customer service I highly recommend this waffle house for breakfast ,lunch & dinner👍“

“Mary and Angelo kill it with the food and service after salsa nights. Calm atmosphere too! Love it!“

“We stopped at the main restaurant for a meal years ago on our way to or from Florida and fell in love with the Barbecue sauce. Have stopped in when the time is right for a meal. Have the sauce delivered now.“

“Definitely will come back again“

“This may very well have been the best burger I've ever eaten. I ordered through Doordash at about 1am, with an estimated delivery time of 50 minutes. Burger Den and my outstanding driver had it at my doorstep in less than 30 minutes. 100% recommend, and 100% will order again. I got the Wake and Bacon double burger with an over medium egg, sautéed onions, fries, and the cheesecake. The whole meal was so revolutionary I left a review on Doordash and went out of my way to leave one on Google.“

“Cleanest Waffle House I have EVER been in. KUDOS!!!!!!!!“

“First time here and definitely the wings are a most have!

Parking: Is a busy are so parking was full at the time i arrive but not the worst cause there are plenty of options.

Kid-friendliness: Yes, fun restaurant for the family.

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes“

“Zesty Nachos are quite good. The flavor of the various toppings smacked with the texture of chips is not something to be underestimated, and it gets new life when you sip with water. It even compares to the Zesty Nachos I've had before, prepared by the ace veteran team somewhere between Tennesse and Pennsylvania. Not quite there, but high praise regardless.“

“Viv was amazing! Tipped greatly for great service!“

“Good!!🤩💖💜🧇🧆🥓☕☕🧆🥓🧇🍅🍳🧇🥓🥓🧆☕☕☕“

“This is our favorite Waffle House in the area. The staff are always great! The food is good and we have made it tradition to come here for holidays. It is wheelchair accessible.

Wheelchair accessibility: Very wheelchair friendly. Two handicap parking spots and tables are mostly all accessible.“

“So I visited Shoney's on the 5-26-2025 at 745 am the food was warm grits was not hot at all it was so bad the cheese didn't melt I was charged about 17.00 per person to eat there the food could of been hotter I asked for more hotter grits and it was not done. So I decided to check the restaurant out and the vents in the ceiling were dirty dirt was clear to the human eye who ever owns this place needs to check on it asap I don't noe how they got a A in the food service going to the bathroom wallpaper coming down and the walls are a mess looking into the bathroom stalls they need to clean better. The only great 2 experiences I had was the waitress was nice she was very clean And attentive to us and the biscuits was good it's time to redo this store ceilings look a mess I would of added more pictures but I didn't wanna get anyone in trouble“

“Alexis g was so nice and my daughter enjoyed his high spirits and they share the same name she loved her experiences“
