The owner and head chef, Elizabeth Parks Landry, willingly and happily accommodates my special requests when I want something other than what is not offered on the menu. I cannot speak highly enough of this place...”

“The service was wonderful and the 5 different sandwiches we ordered were each delicious and unique. I’ve ate a lot of sandwiches in my life. These were in the top 5.”

“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!!!”

“We placed an online order for the family. It was made perfectly, ready sooner than promised and was some of the best tex me. I’ve ever had! Wonderful experience!”

The staff and owners could not be nicer—they are always friendly, helpful, and make you feel welcome every time you stop in. I have used them for multiple large and small catering events, and they are always fantastic to work with. The food is consistently amazing, and the process is easy, professional, and stress-free. Whether you are grabbing a bite to eat or planning an event, Towne and Coffee is always a great choice. I highly recommend and use them all the time !”

Katie, Pete, Marissa and everyone there work to give you good quality food for a fair price. Don't miss it. I rate it a 10 outta 10.”

“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!!!!!”

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

“This is the BEST place for everything!”

“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!!!”

“I went out of my way to find this place, since others said it is the best BBQ in the area. We got a family pack with pork, chicken and a pack of buns, baked beans, potato salad, and potato wedges. All of it was great! And the homemade bbq sauce was amazing too! It was mild, sweet and thick just like sauce should be! Will definitely be going back... next time I hope to get some banana pudding too!”

“Taps Off Main is such a great addition to downtown Columbia. They always have an awesome rotating selection of beers, and the staff is more than happy to let you sample and try different options before you buy. They’re also great at giving recommendations if you’re not sure what to get. It’s the perfect convenient spot on the Columbia square to grab a quick beer during lunch, after work, or just hang out with a small group of friends. The atmosphere is always chill and welcoming, and I love that they have board games and card games available to play. The outdoor sidewalk seating is also really nice on pretty days downtown. I also wanted to share that the owner graciously offered me a ride to my car today while I was waiting on maintenance work to be finished. Such a genuinely kind gesture that really speaks to the type of people they are. Great beer, great atmosphere, and great people. Highly recommend checking them out!”

“This is my local go to shop. Spectacular service and excellent coffee. Columbia is a good coffee town, but this one is my favorite-despite the 1980s decor.

I usually get drip, but my favorite is the pistachio latte.”

“They always have honest,good food. I just had both the ham and the turkey dinner plates and was extremely happy, ham was perfectly cooked with an excellent pineapple glaze. Turkey was moist and flavorful. Cornbread dressing excellent. Unbelievable tastes at an extremely affordable price. A fraction of what other restaurants were charging. Way to go !!! Highly recommend to anyone”

“Grazie was recommended to me by a co worker. She raved how good it was. My mom and I went here today and the food and service was phenomenal. Justin was attentive and friendly. The lasagna and stuffed meatballs are a must try. Also the menu special was penne pasta with vegetables with a lemon oil base. Very tasty! This restaurant is small, you might have to dona reservation at peak times. Will be returning soon.”

“Beautiful pastries and bread . My only complaint was that the sourdough bread did not have that sourdough flavor. It was good but not the tangy taste sourdough is supposed to have. Overall experience was good.”

“Some of the best food I've ever had in my life. The lady and i drive an hour just to get it, make our friends try it, etc. They're so friendly and the food is so F****** good. If you're in Tennessee, PLEASE try it. Life changing.”

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

“Just a thought …came in to get an Americano with a tiny bit of oat milk and I’m charged an extra whole dollar for that. Girl behind the counter says it’s already in the system that way. then have different options in the system or have a self serve area where people can put their own in it that way we’re not getting nickel and dimmed.”

“Had lunch with a few friends here today. Hands down the best Mexican food I’ve had in almost six years living in TN. Service was excellent. Such a great place. I’ll be back soon!”

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

“Casa Real Ice Cream and Tacos is such a great spot in Columbia, TN. The food is fresh, flavorful, and comes out quickly, and the staff is super friendly and welcoming. The combination of authentic tacos and homemade ice cream makes it a fun place to visit for both a meal and a treat. Overall, it’s a hidden gem with excellent service and delicious food — definitely worth checking out.”

“Amazing place! This food is top notch and you shouldn’t hesitate to try them out. Do yourself a favor! I have been to Thailand and the food never disappointed. This is no different than the food I ate there which was always phenomenal!”

“First visit for my husband and I…great experience! Delicious food! Our waitress Lexi was the best! And left us the sweetest note! Will recommend! ❤️”

“I have been a golden member of another coffee shop for over 10 years and will not say who they are! But, they have NOTHING on Dutch Bros. 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!”

“I tried Nuestra Casa out yesterday for the first time and they did not disappoint!! I got the Quesabirrias and they were amazing, full of flavor. That is one thing most I’ve found lack, but this was place didn’t! I also got a side of their rice and it was also great. Their green sauce is also fantastic with the right amount of spice. Try them out if you see them!! You won’t be disappointed 😊”

“My siblings and I hosted our parents 60th wedding anniversary celebration at August Sage. Sara and her team were so incredible to work with. The space was the perfect size and vibe for the party, and all of our guests loved the food and drinks. Sara and Anna Grace were so helpful throughout the planning process and we highly recommend these wonderful people for your next event!”

“We had a surprise birthday party there and the staff was so helpful and friendly! The venue was a great space for 30 people and it was nice to have an option to go outside. The beer was fantastic and also a shout out to Ollie & Finns for catering the event which is located in the same building”

“Walking up to the curb seemed a little weird, but once getting in was warm and welcoming..I love how Mila came out to tell us what was going on and how she was very honest. But most of all her spunky personality and God filled spirit was shining! The atmosphere was warm and welcoming and loud but also whos Italian Family is quiet? The food was delicious and you knew it was authentic and made with gratefulness and love! We will sooooo be back!! Jen if you see this please like bc my husband said he thinks you got our wrong phone number. Lots of love and blessings for Mila and her family! ♥️”

“​I recently ordered the catfish plate from Divinely Inspired Creations, and I absolutely loved every bite! The catfish was perfectly cooked and seasoned just right. It was paired with some of the best onion rings I’ve ever had—they were perfectly fried, crispy, and full of great flavor. The slaw was also a delicious, refreshing pairing that complemented the fish wonderfully.

​And you must save room for dessert! The slice of Honey Bun Cake was just plain fantastic.

​Every item was quality, fresh, and delicious. I will always be happy to stop by and pick up a plate whenever I'm visiting town. Highly recommend!”

“We stopped by DB’s Pizza with a softball team and a party of about 40 people, with no reservations , they handled it better than we could’ve hoped. The food was excellent—everything came out hot, fresh, and tasted great across the board. What really stood out, though, was the service. Managing a group that size isn’t easy, but the staff stayed on top of everything, kept a great attitude, and made sure we had what we needed the whole time. It made for a smooth, enjoyable experience for everyone. We’ll definitely be back”

Silky and light with a chocolate base and just enough whipped cream. I wish they were closer to Florence (but my waist is kinda glad they are not). Definitely recommend and their prices are very reasonable for such great quality.”

“My family was in town for a burial of our loved one. We stopped at Pizza Hut after. There was 20 plus of us. The waitress, Kelly, was very accommodating for all of us.

“La Fuente is mine and my wife’s go-to Mexican restaurant here in Columbia. The service is wonderful, and the food is on point every single time. There’s an element of authenticity here with the decor, the music, the staff. The whole vibe is just a typical authentic Mexican restaurant. Not one bad thing I could say about it. They have indoor seating as well as a patio. They’re always busy but never too busy to be sat right away, at least as far as my experience goes.”

“Extremely pleased with the food tonight 6/1/26.

Maybe they saw the $10 off coupon from a past (like three times now) mistake at trotwood and hooked it up, or maybe, just maybe, they actually put out a decent product like it’s supposed to be.

Thank you bear creek night team!”

“It’s very well executed standard Chinese take out. Sometimes a quick lunch of eggrolls and egg drop soup and then sometimes when we’re not up to or do not have time to cook dinner. Everything is always delicious.”

“Very nice and well served, food was good . Spontaneously visited . We come from Germany 🇩🇪”

“I was visiting town for a remodeling project and had lunch here after. The host Becca was provided exceptional service and I appreciated her starting me with some refreshing strawberry lemonade. She allowed me to customize my menu and the salad bar was rare and gave me nostalgia. Loved my experience here will be back if I’m ever in town again. I know some reviews here are criticizing the diner appearance but I appreciate that it has that true American diner feel and not the corporate contemporary bs other brands are adopting.”

“Everything. I LOVE THE CHICKEN WINGS!”

“Delicious sandwiches as always!!quick service and friendly staff. One of our regular places to eat!”

“The menu needs to go back to the old one. Food is good, but not as good as it used to be. Service was great.”
