13 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in West Columbia

“They went out of their way to seat us even though we didn’t have a reservation, our server Rose was so kind and helpful, and oh my goodness the Burrata Crudite special was SO GOOD. I’m so sad it’s just a special. If yall see this review, please bring it back sometime! Great experience.“

“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“

“Black Rooster is in a great location just across the Gervais St bridge. There is plenty of parking next to or in the free public lot behind. The ambience is very crisp and cute without being tacky. The “doodles” on the wall are fun to look at while you’re there. We had the roasted beet appetizer, the whipped ricotta appetizer and the escargot appetizer. All three were delicious. I’m not sure which was my favorite. I had the Fields of Benevento cocktail which was light and really delicious. The chicken Parmesan was enormous and served on a plate with broccoli rather than baked. The flavor was a little bland but still enjoyable. The Royale with Cheese was a big hit with the other two diners (though they both said order extra Dijonaise with it). We tried the pistachio crusted ricotta cake and the butterscotch pudding for dessert. Both were delicious. The ricotta cake is flourless and not very filling. It comes with a scoop of sorbet as well. The butterscotch pudding was heaven but very rich. I recommend multiple spoons for the desserts. Our service was absolutely incredible. Drew was our server and his personality was amazing. Very attentive without being annoying or hovering. He definitely made the experience more enjoyable. (I forgot pics of the appetizers)“

“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!“

“So I went here about 9:56 pm to pick up a call in order. I ordered Chicken Parmesan and Carrot cake, when I say good, I shared it with my niece and still had some leftover. It was absolutely delicious. I would recommend this place any time!!! And carrot cake simply positively scrumptious melt in your mouth good. I gave it 10 stars!!!! And they service was extremely excellent.“

“Last night my wife and I ate here and it was delicious. We started w Herb Goat Cheese Stuffed Peppadews w Balsamic Glaze; delicious. Looked good on the plate, too. The bread was more exciting than usual w strawberry flavored butter made in house. I had Italian sausage over penne w red pepper cream sauce. Large portion and exactly what I wanted. Wife had veal osso bucco ravioli add chicken w primavera sauce. She loved it. Lemoncello pie and cheesecake w blueberries to top it off (both good cheesecake was better imo). We will be back thanks again everyone !“

“Very Disappointing I wanted a meal on the special board and was Sorry were not serving nothing on the special board now Sorry just Disappointing all so the table next to use came in after we did and thay were served bread right away we are still waiting for owners Very Disappointing this visit

Parking: Good“

“Pros- Greeted upon entering, seated fast, serviced fast, attendant was very attentive, prices were great, atmosphere perfect even for busy lunch hoursCons-space, burnt vegetables, not enough cheese, and burnt pieces of the chicken on the chipsOverall-I would go back again just because of the service I received“

“I stopped by this cafe while I was in town for the day. What an excellent choice. We were seated outside, and I loved the atmosphere. We ordered the brisket hash, hangover hashbrowns, and grits bowl. Everything was on point. Service was pleasant. I'd recommend and definitely come back if I'm ever passing through again. I forgot to take photos but grabbed this beautiful mural on the way out.“

“Mai Thai is one of my favorite sit-down Asian restaurants in the area. They have a very calm, relaxing atmosphere and the food is delicious. The service was slow on my most recent visit, but I wasn't in any rush to go anywhere afterward so it wasn't a big deal to me.“

“I normally wouldn’t take time to do this. But the manager at this store (I assume she’s the manager) goes above and beyond. The two interactions I’ve had have been exceptional. So much so that we have chosen to give our business to this store over our usual Moe's run.“

“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 “

“Stopped by here today after reading several great reviews and they were all telling the truth! This place has some of the best tasting authentic Mexican food I’ve had and the prices were great also! The Al pastor quesadilla was to die for literally still thinking about it! Would give this place 10 stars if I could!! You absolutely won’t regret stopping here! Will definitely be our new spot!“
