Restaurants in Columbia

“This is quite literally the best food in Columbia. I couldn’t believe how amazing it was.”

“Prime Rib night was great, fine dining is such a production of not only great food, great atmosphere & SERVICE and tonight…. I had it all! I always celebrate getting Adam as my server, he is tops in every way but I also really enjoy Thomas, but tonight I met Cricket & Audrey & chatted with & met some of the regulars! Food was great, atmosphere was fun & upbeat and I adore the staff, Bryan as head Chef, my friend Chris ❣️also rocking that kitchen. It’s is very hard to get the right blend of people in food service but I think Gabe has added some real rock stars to his already strong core team. I would dine there every night just to enjoy his staff, THAT is the secret sauce of every successful restaurant anywhere🌷”

“everyone was friendly! the food was delicious!!!”

“Absolutely love this restaurant. The food was great. Definitely coming back”

“Stopped by while visiting Columbia Town Square. Great vibe, great service and really good selection. Stop by and check them out.”

“These juice options can’t be beat!”

“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. 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...”

“This place has the best breakfast in town! Judy had been in the business for many years and she makes you feel like family! The service is always good and I recommend it to everyone!”

“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!!!”

“OMG!! I’m a foodie and let me assure you this place is awesome!!! I’ve only tried the Lilith & Sam but I’ll be back to try more!! Marbled rye was perfectly toasted. Perfect ratio of bread to meat to cheese, and that spicy mustard, wow!”

“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!!!”

“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!”

“Great folks and tasty coffee!”

“The biscuits!! They are the best in the area! Bacon is always nice and crisp. Breakfast has been consistent since we started going years ago, most places go down hill but not Katie Pie & Sons”

“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!!!!!”

“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!”

“100% amazing! I haven’t had Italian food this good in a VERY long time. True Italian. Mika is fantastic! So fresh. So amazing. The service was amazing too! So glad we can, you should too!”

“Oh my goodness! Wonderful food, absolute family atmosphere! Loved everything! Will return soon...maybe tomorrow.”

“The flavor and freshness of the donuts are to die for! Very innovative and creative flavors!”

“Great selection highly recommend”

“I went to visit a friend at work and expected to go to lunch with him. He went home instead, so I came here alone.

It's a really neat little building, dining on two levels with a bar on the top floor. It's counter service and they give you a number and you grab a table.

I had the Patty Melt with Sweet and Spicy Crispy Brussels and everything was Dynamite. The burger was juicy, the Brussels were soft with a little bite and the sauce was delicious.

Here's the Breakdown:

Great food in a cool place with friendly service +5 stars.

I would, for sure, go back.”

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

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

“Only our second time in Catfish Campus today and the food was awesome. Cody talked to us today and just made us feel at home. Telling us the story of how long they have been there and we had a good time learning these things. Support local. We will definitely be back.”

“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”

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

“Best Greek food in Columbia!”

“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 breakfast place in the area. Large portions of everything. Friendly staff. Fast food-to-table service. Reasonable prices.”

“Frequent this establishment once a week now. Everything we have tried has been delicious, margaritas are great frozen and on the rocks. Warm and welcoming staff. A nice relaxing atmosphere for all. 10/10 highly recommend giving them a try.”

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

“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!”

“Food is amazing ! The Staff are awesome. Highly recommend Old Glory!”

“The wings were crispy, hot, and perfectly seasoned! Restaurant was clean, and staff was super nice. 10 out of 10!!!”

“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.”

“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.”

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

“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.”

“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 :)”

“super friendly staff. excellent food”

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

“Absolutely love Buckhead! Great food and coffee! I know this isn’t really relevant but I so look forward to seeing the beautiful art of the seasonal coffee menu board�”

“immaculate premises and delicious taste”

“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!”

“Best cheesesteak sub I've found in TN. The staff were awesome! Will definitely go back.”

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

“We go to Panchos everytime we visit Columbia. I wish we lived closer. Great food and great service!”

“super friendly and lots of goodies to chose from!”

“Autumn creates the most beautiful and yummy grazing tables! A must for any event.”

“First time in and it couldn't have been better. The restaurant is clean, everything we ordered was delicious, and the staff was friendly and helpful. My only regret is there was so much food we didn't have room to try one of the desserts. Return trip is in our future. 😋”

“I’m a trucker, and have been all over the southwest. This is the best Mexican food I’ve had in Tennessee. (I’m a native Tennessean) you have to try this place’s Birria!!”

“Mama Mila’s was the most positive dining experience! Amazingly delicious authentic Italian food! Huge portions with fast friendly service! Decided on a meal labeled Fat Tony’s - which is their lasagna served with the famous “crack sauce”…. YUMMY 😋 Will definitely return”

“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.”

“We have ate here man times, and tried several items, I loved the chicken salad sandwich and salads, the mexican cornbread was amazing!! The sausage balls and biscuits were incedible!”

“Me and my boyfriend went for lunch and I got the chicken hibachi and he got the shrimp hibachi. It was the best food we have had in a very long time the veggies were amazing.”

“We LOVE Taco Express #2 in Columbia TN! They have the BEST tortas and the lady at the counter is very nice!

Kid-friendliness: My kids and I love this place!!”

“Note: this was at the Donelson store: Just had my first and last visit here. Asked if there was any more of the Tennessee Strawberries and Cream as the tub was quite low - didn't appear to be enough for one scoop, even, and the young man behind the counter simply said, "No." I mean, I got my question answered, but he could have offered what was left to me in a cup for free if I bought another scoop of something else, for instance, or let me know when they would have more, or talked about the dairy-free version with chocolate chips, or...SOMEthing!! He just stood there and looked around, without trying to tell me about the products or anything. So, speaking of products, maybe he didn't, because there wasn't much to talk about. I settled on the mint chocolate chip and vanilla, both of which were just awful. You can tell the ice cream is made with a large amount of gums and emulsifiers, because it's very gummy and stringy. The mint chocolate chip was bitter, and not very minty. The vanilla was overly sweet and tasted like caramel, which I don't like, and was crunchy, as though the ice had solidified because it wasn't kept churning while freezing. It had a "slushy" consistency. Lastly, the vanilla had bits of some other flavor in it. Strawberry? Caramel? It was hard to tell - just darker sections of ice cream throughout. As I said - the whole experience was quite unpleasant, and I won't be back. Ever.”

“Very friendly and efficient Staff and delicious food. Always eager to please”

“The food at this establishment is fairly good. It's better than most Chinese I've had since moving to Tennessee. Most definitely, my new favorite place to get good tasting Chinese food for a fair price. Vist their buffet today y'all and enjoy a tasty meal.

Kid-friendliness: Family friendly...bring the whole crew. Kids and all.”

“Food was great. The band was awesome, and my server Maddie was on point. Great experience. Thank you to the manager Jimmy for coming by our table to check on us.”

“We always make sure to eat at this mexican restaurant when we make a trip to Columbia. Everyone is so nice here and the food is great!! I highly recommend them if you love mexican food! You won't be disappointed.”

“I stopped in Columbia to show a visiting friend around and happened upon this fabulous little bakery. We bought a peanut butter pie for dessert for that evening and OMGEEEEE! It was incredible. 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.”

“consistently good food and service.”

“We ordered Thanksgiving catering from Betty’s for the first time this year and it was absolutely delicious! Everyone said it was the best turkey they’d ever had. We’re already making plans to do it again next year.”

“Pizza and sides are always fresh. The restaurant looks clean. My only docked star is because they can't seem to figure out how to cut the pizza so you can pull a slice out without ripping all your other slices but it shouldn't ruin your day. ?”

“great food ,we love the Doble cheese burger”

“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”

“This is the spot that locals know has the best Chinese. I don’t ever eat in the restaurant so I can’t comment experience dining in, but I get their food to go a lot. It’s a 20 min dr from my house and worth it. If ur in Columbia and want Chinese, This is definitely worth it. Dumplings are great ”

“This was our first time ever ordering online at a subway, and my husband and I did select “more” for a few of the veggies on our sandwiches and man they did not disappoint! I can honestly say these were the best subway sandwiches we have ever had, and I think we will only go to THIS subway from now on ? so good!! Our sandwiches were ready quickly too. 10/10!!”

“They forgot my sweet n sour sauce and they delivered it to my house. Great customer service!!!”

“Excellent food and service.”

“Always great staff and good unhealthy food. My spot…”

“great food, excellent service. I had the new Zaxville Hot chicken sandwich. very good. Ironically, 3 years ago today I was eating Zaxby's also.”

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

“Great employees amazing customer customer service they’re always so down to earth and they’re willing to help the customer anyway possible would recommend definitely going to this Taco Bell if you’re in the area 10/10”

“I have only been to this location one time, but I ordered a full rack of ribs today, and I felt obligated to tip my hat to the chef. The meat slid right off the bone. Great job!”

“I have to drive more than an hour to find a Long John Silver's, so anytime we can go, we've craved it for so long, of course we loved the food. It's hit or miss. Sometimes, it's fresh and wonderful, but at other times, it's been dried out and old. It's just that we're very disappointed to drive so far, and spend SO MUCH money just to get old food.”

“food is great. but I wish they would strain the juice off of the green beans and corn. my chicken and dumplings were floating in juice.”
