23 Best Vegetarian 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!“

“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“

“I live in Columbia but have go to south Congaree for work sometimes. It’s a little pricey but when you get a large they give a small for free so guess it works out. But as far as quality I’m impressed to be honest I hate they do far away… a the cakes are homemade they fresh a make you get made you didn’t get two. I love carrot cake a red velvet 9.7. The atmosphere is homey vey family friendly. Go let’s get to the pizza OMG LOVELY… alway made fresh it’s that cheesy fresh pizza 9.2 I’m made I don’t stay closer.“

“Wonderful service! Ashley, you were a wonderful waitress! The food and drinks..yum!! Chef's kiss! 5 Stars!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“The “FRIED CATFISH” SPECIAL was absolutely DELICIOUS and the portion serving was awesome…two large filets..Should b on the menu permanently!!“

“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.“

“What! As a patron way back in the Food Lion strip mall days, this was hands down the best buffet in town, & sad when they closed. I watched when they broke ground on this new location. I couldn't be the first to enjoy since now I have an autistic child of habit, new isn't easy for us. Using my Super Mama powers, we went for lunch on his birthday in January. I do not have enough room on here to describe the ambiance, cleanliness, kindness, etc... Lucas & I will NOT EVER eat out anywhere else, not even fast food joints kids are attracted to. You get your own hibachi chef, sushi buffet with chef, "traditional" American foods, full salad bar, bars full of Chinese & Chinese-American foods, soups, desserts, superior service, a really undescribable without experiencing for yourself just daily lunch. So much deliciousness to even attempt to enjoy in a 2-hour visit for the price of chicken nuggets, fries, drink, & shake at fast food joints! If the lunch is mind (gut) blowing, supper must be out of this world! Soon. I have to judge many places by staff because of my son, who not only rolled out the red carpet for him/us, but innumerable amounts of other-abled folks, which is important to me. I have traveled & eaten at many places. I now have built-in ADA EYE. My eyes have never, ever, laid eyes on wait staff, or owners, who help a blind person or someone in a wheelchair get tabled and then helped with food selections, plating, and seated to enjoy. Care, respect, not enough words for this either. I have heard the owners waited 15+ years, raising $1,000,000 to create a dream for themselves and their patrons. Where in Columbia, Lexington, Orangeburg, Sumter, Charlotte, Augusta, Greenville, Charleston, Atlanta, and so on, can you get the same? Send me a Gmail & we will talk! Prove me wrong, I will buy your supper & eat a plate of octupi!“

“We love the food and service at this restaurant. The portions, flavors and service is amazing.“

“I had a take out order I accidentally ordered something but had to change it so they accommodated with my forgetfulness without even a word. The best customer service.
The food was in a larger portion and it tasted pretty good. I’d recommend this place to those who want to taste Italian food.“

“We love Mai Thai. We have been going there for years. Everything is fresh. One of the best restaurants in the area. The wait staff ROCK!!!!“

“Just FINALLY stopped after years of saying I would....I'm a little upset that I waited years to try this food ! Very good and the portion sizes are huge ! ? the half chicken was juicy and marinated well and the tacos are awesome. Hot sauce is very good as well. Will definitely be “

“Todo estuvo muy delicioso comida y bebidas y el servicio perfecto 👌 100% recomiendo“

“Legit. The carnitas and al pastor had that slight crispiness, which I wish more places did. Lengua was rich and tender. Chicken was well seasoned but a little too healthy tasting for me. However, it really soaked up that green salsa nicely.“

“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!“

“best Chinese food around. I know I lived here forever. bought it from everywhere. Best Thai food as well. Great soups. awesome people. usually you don't find all that at a Chinese place.“

“Everything was AMAZING. The whole experience.“

“So glad I found this place. My wife eat here in e a week. The Gyros are amazing. The wings are always crispy. My son gets the Philly. Good is always cooked to order and fast. Service is friendly and fast. Burgers are good too. Wife had shrimp tonight and she said it was amazing. Honestly I'm full and already looking forward to my next visit.

Kid-friendliness: Arcade games“

“This location in 3 fountains is truly the best. The GM, Brenda, has top notch customer service skills. Her and Aaron make their orders with LOVE. I'm a lifelong Domino's customer now!“

“The young gentleman that checked me out today, Durance, was EXCELLENT and made my entire day!!. He was quick to help & eager to ask how I was doing. He certainly deserves some praise for how kind and helpful he was! The world & workforce needs more people like him. Go be great, Durance!“

“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“
