Restaurants in Columbia

“As a restaurant guy and self proclaimed sandwich connoisseur I must say I had by far the best sandwich today for lunch and the Italian pasta salad was so good I can see it becoming an issue for me down the road ! If you haven’t had the pleasure of the Ollie and Finn experience I highly recommend you wait no longer gather up your taste buds and hit the road, you will thank yourself after all is said and done!”

“Wow 🤩 Yummy 🤤 Great Experience!! I highly recommend this amazing eatery I found in Columbia today. I was looking for something different for lunch and not a chain …… & up popped “Katie Pie & Sons Country Kitchen” ….. I told mom I found a new place for lunch I wanted to check out & she agreed. All I can say is the owner & wait staff were awesome, friendly, attentive, & caring 👏🏼🫶🏼 ohhh and the food was great, mouth watering & amazing!! We had the best mother/daughter luncheon; it was chill & relaxed and yet intimate & classy at the same time …. Plus the great food!! We will definitely be back soon!! Seriously if you are in Columbia you need to check this place out !! 5 ⭐️ 💯”

“Absolutely AMAZING!! I had the blood orange, and my wife the pineapple; both blew our boots off!!! Closest thing (and it was not near as good) was in NY. Met Joey's dad, and he is awesome as well, it must run in the family. You would be a fool to pass this place by. GO GET YOU SOME!!!”

“Pizza is good but haven’t been in a while. Evidently prices have almost doubled. STICKER SHOCK!”

“Food and service is always great. One of my favorite spots in Columbia. 10/10”

“Best coffee around! Give them a shot!”

“We came in but it looked packed. We went to leave but they asked us to come back in and they made room. I'm glad we were asked to come back because the food was great! the salsa is great! The wings and the quesadillas were wonderful. The service is great!”

“This is the BEST place for everything!”

“Great folks and tasty coffee!”

“Best juice around served by some of the sweetest people!!! The juice is so fresh and the food is amazing. There’s not many healthy options around here so I was so happy to know when I moved from Spring Hill to Columbia that little juice co would be an option for me. I also love when I run into the owner Rachelle. She’s always so warm and welcoming. Y’all go check it out. They got the juice!!!!!”

“I stop here every time I’m in town visiting family and their vanilla lattes are just consistently good! Great service and drinks!”

“First, GO! And keep going! Often a burger doesn't look like the scrumptious photo. This one did and it was excellent. Patties exceeding the bounds of the fresh, buttery bun with crispness on all the edges. I would go as far as to say it's the best burger within miles. The pork rinds are divine and, if it's something you like, you can't get them in a lot of places. . Someone sitting near us said they really enjoyed the pork tenderloin. *Service was excellent to the point I asked if he owned the restaurant. Such a nice guy. *Not a full service restaurant. What a treat.”

“I recently dined here and as usual, the food was delicious, well prepared and very satisfying. I had the popcorn shrimp platter that is more than enough to satisfy anyone. Our server, Cody, was very attentive, polite and checked on us often to ensure everything was satisfactory and if we needed anything. The hush puppies are the best that I’ve had and the pickled tomatoes offered as an appetizer paired well with the salad and the hush puppies while waiting on the entree. Keep up the good work!!!”

“The salad is the best around. You get your money worth and more. If you haven’t tried them you are definitely missing out”

“I absolutely love this quaint Cafe' . The server was charming, and accommodating. The in-house made tomato artichoke soup was delicious. I will definitely choose to dine here when I'm back in Columbia. 10/10 highly recommend”

“A Culinary Gem – Prime & Pint Delivers on Every Level As locals that live 1-block from Columbia's Historic Square and have dined on The Square well over a 1000 times over the last decade, we believe Prime and Pint is Hands down the best restaurant Columbia has ever had. Chef Brian Baxter is a true culinary artist and Columbia is extremely lucky to have him (Resume: The Catbird Seat, Husk, Bastion, McGrady's, Bluezoo to name a few). My wife and I are anti-social media, but we find it humorous that we both monitor Prime & Pints - Daily Specials in order to never miss out. A few of the standout entrees that we've loved include Shrimp Aguachile, Soft Shell Crab, Fried Chicken (seasoned with fruit marsala and cranford hollow honey), Seafood Tower, Prime Rib, and the Pablano stuffed Chile Burger! The sides are equally amazing and should never be overlooked. In 2025, sourcing high quality front-of-house and back-of-house staff is far from an easy task, but at Prime & Pint, you get the strong sense that this team is like family. The service is warm, attentive, and welcoming without ever feeling forced. The staff is knowledgeable, personable, and clearly takes pride in what they do – a testament to great hires / leadership. As for ambiance, P&P strikes the perfect balance between upscale and approachable – inviting, stylish, and full of character. Whether you’re there for a date night, business dinner, or to indulge in Chef Baxter’s latest masterpiece, Prime & Pint delivers in every way!”

“We love the Alex’s across from Rivergate Mall. Their food and fresh fruit waters (aqua frescas)! The wings are great and the house special fried rice is a must! Staff is very friendly as well.”

“First timers here! Omg the food was great! You can either order from the menu or go and pick exactly what you want in your food. Service was excellent! Dining, let them make more money then spruce the dining area up just a little and you have a perfect restaurant. Oh! And main thing for me, it's clean. No bug smell. Used to do pest control...I have that nose. I will definitely be back, a lot!!!”

“My wife and I have decided this is our new favorite fusion buffet restaurant. The variety and the quality of food on the six buffet tables was the best I've ever seen. We tried everything from frog legs, tender barbeque ribs, a wide variety of sushi, and so on. The staff was very polite and prompt. The atmosphere was very nice, the waterfall in the lobby and giant lucky cat waving you in are a nice touch.”

“Love this place if you're in Columbia. Come try this place. Sweet sour chicken is my fav.

Vegetarian options: Rice ,vegs, soups much more, I'm not vegen.

Parking: Plenty”

Sara and Anna Grace were so helpful throughout the planning process and we highly recommend these wonderful people for your next event!”

“I only have one complaint about this place, it’s not close enough to me. We absolutely love this bar and grill. The atmosphere the entertainment and food are the best.”

“Best coffee and breakfast options in Columbia, TN! Such a VIBE!”

“Wow! There are still good hearted people amongst us. I've had surgery and been unable to provide for myself. I placed an order through door dash with Cabin Coffee. My order never showed up. I reached out to door dash and received a 24-48 wait on resolution. I contacted Cabin Coffee to see if the order had even been picked up. The gentleman advised me that it had in fact, been picked up and that he would reach out to door dash. He contacted me back and assured me that HE would make this right. He certainly did! He showed up at my doorstep with my order plus more than what I had ordered. Possibly the kindest act I have witnessed in a very long time. Thank you Cabin Coffee for your extreme compassion and kindness. I will spread the word from this day forward.”

“Everything is excellent - 5 stars all the way!!”

“It's a little shack with no indoor seating, but the food is phenomenal. Can't wait to go there and get me some more shrimp burrito or Carne asada fries :)”

“immaculate premises and delicious taste”

“Great selection highly recommend”

“It’s the best Mexican food I have had. Reminds me of home!!”

“Although the staff was so welcoming and sweet, their idea of “smoked” chicken is nothing like I thought it would be. When I see smoked, my understanding is that it was in a smoker at some point, and pulled from the bone. It tasted like a Walmart Rotisserie chicken pulled from the bone. Not at all what I expected.”

“The best donuts in TN, not drowned in sugar.”

“I recently tried Chick-fil-A's Icedream cone, and it was absolutely amazing! The texture was perfectly smooth and creamy, and the flavor was just the right amount of sweetness—light, refreshing, and not too heavy. It had that classic vanilla taste that reminds me of the best kind of soft serve, and the cone itself added a nice crunchy contrast.

For the price, it's such a great treat—simple, delicious, and satisfying. If you're looking for a quick dessert that leaves you wanting more, the Icedream cone is definitely worth it!”

“I had one of the best salads I've ever eaten, with fresh greens & really good olives, hummus & pita bread. Their wine selection was wonderful, & craft cocktail menu looked amazing. There are so many healthy options on the menu, & I look forward to trying something new when I return.”

“Great food, service and a fun atmosphere. Live music on Thursday!”

“South Ahan has the best cuisine in the Columbia area. I would say in the middle TN area. I was introduced to the restaurant by a coworker. I live about an hour away but let me tell you it’s well worth the trip. Absolutely Delicious Pad Thai!!!”

“Great service and great food! Plus they have been around a while so they know their stuff”

You all have the best friendly service and coffee around hands down! You all have so many Sugar Free options available for those who need it! Thanks DB for always being Heaven in a cup!”

“Congratulations for the recognition on your great place of business in the Maury County Living Magazine! Awesome!”

“I love seafood, especially deep-fried seafood platters and if you do to then there is no better place anywhere near here to get a fried seafood platter.
