“Best sandwiches ever! Absolutely recommend the turkey and provolone 🤤“

“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 ⭐️ 💯“

“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“

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

“great food along with great service“

“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!!!“

“We used to be 'RT regulars', but something changed a couple years ago . . . service went downhill. 3 separate times in 2023 we went there, walked in, no hostess to greet us, and waited at least 5 minutes. Each time the place was empty . . . vacant tables everywhere. We'd make eye contact with a server or bartender, but still no acknowledgement that we were there. Each time, after no one bothered to acknowledge us and seat us, we left. We saw other customers do the same. It was bizarre!
After 2 years of becoming 'Applebee's regulars', we decided last night to give RT one more chance. What a pleasant surprise! We were greeted and seated quickly, our sever (Jordyn) was fantastic, and the food was as good as we remembered it from years ago. The restaurant was fairly empty . . . perhaps a lot of former customers had the same bad experiences we had, and haven't come back. Based on our experience last night, I would say definitely give them another shot. We will definitely return.
(Why not 5 stars? There was no draft beer available. My chair was wobbly to the point I thought it might collapse. And the neon sign outside had several letters burned out . . . not a good message to potential customers driving by and looking for a place to eat. )“

“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 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.“

“Great breakfast place. Had the Working Man's Breakfast. 2 eggs, sausage, hash browns, country gravy, biscuits, and coffee. All of it, FANTASTIC!! Service was great. Coffee was kept freshened up. Very good price as well.

Loved it.“

“Good family, friendly pizza place! And they have the actual fried pickle spears, not chips, which are is hard to find.“

“friendliest and best servers, fast service and the best steaks around!“

“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 came in Saturday night after the Columbia Christmas Parade with a party of 20+. The service was excellent. They made accommodations for us, our drinks stayed full, the orders came out correct and they were patient with all of the kids that were hyped up on sugar. TVs were everywhere so I was even able to catch some of the games. They have a nice bar that would be great for a drink and wings.“

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

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

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

“Excellent food and service.“

“First time eating here while in town for work. Great lunch. We loved the rib platter, the ribs were tender and the meat fell right off those bones. Great bbq sauce. I honestly thought that was the BEST broccoli salad I've ever had. The pickle fries were yummy, but need a ranch dipper. The loaded baked potato salad was really good too. The gal behind the counter was quickly moving everyone through the line. Overall great lunch. Lots of traffic rolling through their drive thru, so you can see it's a local favorite.“

“friendly staff and warm service with a smile 🥰🥰🥰“
