26 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!“

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

“The Best Place to Eat. Great Food, Wonderful Staff and Very Good Prices.“

“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“

“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!“

“Excelente buen servicio y la comida 🍽 es muy buena . Gracias 🙏 por su servicio“

“Great food and service. Very clean!“

“Its a small, quaint little artsy type of Cafe with interesting art hanging on the walls and pretty funny/cute signs near the coffee area. I got the breakfast burrito and really enjoyed it. Its not over priced on most of the items on the menu and could easily be a nice get together type of place.“

“We were a party of 4 on June 12, 2026. Three of us shared a stromboli.
(we weren't that hungry due to a late lunch) We informed our server, and she couldn't have been more gracious. The kitchen even prepared it on 3 plates for us. The fourth plate was the Cesare salad with shrimp. Everything from the service to the food was fantastic. If we were locals, we'd be regulars! This is how it's done, wishing you continued success.
Thank you, from 4 weary travelers just passing through.“

“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!!!!“

“I've tried almost every San Jose around Columbia and this is my go-to everytime.

I've been coming here for close to 10 years. Despite it being 2 blocks from my house, I was reluctant to try it out at first, because of judging it by its appearance. The parking lot is hard to navigate and the building is smaller than other locations.

I definitely regret not coming here sooner. They always have speedy service and staff are very friendly. The owner likes to make rounds checking on diners and is just a cool guy. The portions are large and fairly priced. And I've found the sweet tea, queso and chips taste way better than other San Jose's. You may have to wait a while for a table at peak hours but even during a rush, the food comes out super quick.

Thanks for the consistently stellar service all these years!“

“casi 20 años en usa y por fin encontré un restaurante que me hiciera sentir que realmente estoy comiendo comida Hondureña, 20 de 10 🙌“

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

“Tried this place out the other day and was very pleased. I got 4 tacos all different meats (Chorizo, Beef, Pollo, and Pastor.) and they were all really good and super flavorful. The portion sizes are really good and the meat is pretty high quality stuff. I can't really give it a high rating in terms of atmosphere as it is just a food truck, and my service was alright. All in all probably my favorite taco truck I've had in the Midlands so far.“

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

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

“This is by far the best gorditas ever you have got to try. Mrs. Has a golden hand to cook all authentic Mexican food no imitations.. The Real Thing !!!!! Sabrosa Comida mi Favorito Lugar…“

“Great place for lunch, dinner, watch the game at. Nice menu choices and decent prices and portions. I came because it was recommended but I went for the schnitzel. I was looking for german type food and this food this did not disappoint me. We were all pleased with our meals and desserts. They service was great, I think our servers name was Alexis and she really knew her menu. The staff was great. It was busy but still good food decent edit times. Just make sure you time out right for dinner because you might hang to wait but it is worth it once you get there.“

“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.“

“Talisha made sure everything was perfect for us! We are from VA Beach, visiting family and they took us to Rush's and it was DELISH!!! Thank you for making my family's first time visiting delicious and hospitable! Talisha came by our table to make sure our orders were perfect and to our liking. Next time we are in town, We'd love to stop in again!“

“Everything was AMAZING. The whole experience.“

“After living on Johns Island for 20 years, I wanted to find a good seafood place. This is the location, always smiling, very friendly, and great service. Of COURSE the seafood is good, otherwise I wouldn't recommend this location. I get the seafood fiesta, it's enough for two, so well worth the price. They offer wings as well as sandwiches and hamburgers, and the best part, to me, is they cook the food when you order it, so there's no sitting under headlamps waiting to package up. I almost forgot the wings!! They were fried right, not overcooked, not undercooked, just right. I love this Nick's Gyros and Seafood location.“

“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.“

“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!“

“I came on Saturday April 25 2026 the young lady I believe her name was Ally she fixed my bowl and helped me the whole time. She was really nice to me and my family. She waited patiently when my kids could not decide which quesadilla they wanted to order. She made my food really well my steak burrito was the best burrito i have EVER had from any Moes . Ally has been the nicest person to ever help me. She has been nicer then chick fil a employees. Ever sense i walked in that door Saturday afternoon at 6:15 pm she had a smile on her face she made me and my family feel so welcomed. WE LOVED EATING HERE! 10/10 will be eating here again. My food looked so good I wish I would have taken a picture.“

“Good wings; great service!“
