New American Restaurants near West Columbia, SC

“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!“

“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.“

She was not only friendly but also incredibly knowledgeable about the menu, offering helpful recommendations and answering all my questions with ease. Throughout my meal, she was attentive and always available to assist with anything I needed. Her professionalism and helpfulness really made the dining experience memorable. Anita is a true asset to the team, and I look forward to returning!“

“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.“

“Brussel sprouts, salmon, brisket halibut you name it and everything was delicious always!! Highly recommend!!“

Wait staff and management were attentive but not too much, just perfect. I was pleasantly surprised overall and we will definitely return!“

“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 ?“

“I’ve been coming to Rush’s for years every time I come into the Columbia area. The food is so good! The burger is always amazing. The milkshake is a nice dessert. But those fries. They are delicious! I normally use ketchup as a habit with most fries I eat. These are the only fries that I feel the ketchup is not needed. To me, that is the sign of a good fry! Keep it up. If I could get a Rush’s in the upstate, I’d be even happier!“

“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.“

“We took my mom out for her birthday and had a great time. The food was really good. We loved being able to see the entire area of Columbia with a Birdseye view. The servers did a great job. Everything was clean and well stocked and delicious.“

“Enjoyed being there with friends, eating, drinking and listening to a great band, Oracle Blue!“

“Love the new menu!!!! Food, drinks, and vibes are amazing.“

“It's been years since last visited this place, and I can tell you they have not skipped a beat with the food. I have the lemon pepper ed wings and gizzards combo. It was fresh, hot, and delicious. This will become a regular meal stop again. Thanks for the friendly service and amazing food.“

“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!“

“First time trying BJ's Restaurant it was very good. Everything was clean. Food presentation was on point even to the side salad the prep staff proved they care about their job. Steak was prepared perfectly even with a mixed choice menu. Thanks for a great time!“

“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!“

“Today was my first time going, but it definitely won't be my last. This is not your typical restaurant, so expect that.... but great vibes.. great music.. good food.. love the Mimosas... Go try it out‼️“

“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!“
