19 Best American Restaurants in Columbus

“Five star eatery. Breakfast plate is not cooked to order and is served before coffee is ready. It's a minor thing but really makes a difference to a customer to have food and drink served at same time. Condiments, napkins and plastic are not located at tables but on a common table McDonald's style. That could be improved also so that dining inside experience is better than the fast food joints. The staff were nice, pleasant and warm which is super important. The house mocha hot was very good. I'll go back again. (With my own silverware)“

“If you find yourself near Columbus MS you have to go to Zachary's!!! This place is absolutely amazing, great service, delicious food, and a very inviting atmosphere!They have tons of sports and music memorabilia along the walls, and you can also buy a Zachary's t shirt!“

“Best steak I ever had got it double seasoned filet med well and it was pure perfection ! The fact u only get a potatoe and side salad w bread didn’t bother me bc the steak was perfection and the $ was good value. Don’t go for looks or ambience or sides. The question has been answered to where’s the meat , the MEAT is here and cooked right the smoky grill flame flavor can’t be beat.“

“They have the BEST onion rings on the planet that I know of. Rest of the food ain't bad either!“

“Great atmosphere- all food we ordered was great, only one complaint- baked potato was shriveled up- looked to be nuked. Not not much potato in there when forking it. Other than that we really enjoyed ?“

“Best fish in town. I eat here four times a month. I love how friendly they are to customers. They are just wonderful people as a whole. I always get double side of bakebeans with a extra side of coleslaw. Reasonable price two plates feed a family of four in my house.“

“I happen to be in Columbus MS today and was looking for some good southern soul food and found Ms Helen’s Kitchen and oh what a pleasure was meeting her the food was amazing,it was such a blessing meeting and talking with her,definitely will be going back,thank you Ms Helen!“

“If you want good ole Southern Home Cooking at its best, Rosie's Place would be a good start.The first dish you are going to be served when you get there is a big deep plate of friendly southern hospitality. Rosie is a sweetheart of a person. A warm, radient smile and someone you instantly like.I strongly suggest her fried catfish. It is to die for good.Ignore the hours posted on the door. They are wrong. The ones listed on Google maps the day we went are correct, according to Rosie.Don't be fooled by the exterior of the building. The adventure begins when you go inside.“

“Absolute best place to have a good time and a great drink! Super friendly and energetic atmosphere. Great food, great drinks, karaoke and pool tables!!! Plus the owner William is awesome!!! He even participates in the karaoke. This I'd honestly my favorite place in all of Columbus MS!!!“

“Great catfish, black-eyed peas, cabbage, sweet potatoes, mac'n'cheese, meatloaf, fried chicken, and a lot of other dishes as well. Excellent spot to get traditional items that can be hard to find, such as chitlins, turkey necks, pork necks, and other home-cookin' staples. Pro tip: get there right when they open. They are very popular and only have a few parking spots. Also, you'll have to wait a while as the line can get long. If you're *really* late, they'll run out of items. Be aware, too, that the selection changes depending on what they make that day. Everyone there is EXTREMELY friendly! They are very kind people who love their customers! The restaurant is tiny -- a lot of people get their food to go.“

“I only had a few minutes to eat lunch today so I stopped in because I knew it would be ready to eat and not have to wait. The rib tips were great but the turnip greens and jalapeño cornbread were awesome. I will definitely be back to eat lunch with them again.“

“We tried this restaurant for lunch. I had the chicken Picatta and my husband had the Chicken and Shrimp Pontchartrain. The food was excellent. We both enjoyed our meal (a lot of food for a reasonable price), service was good, and prices were reasonable. Definitely recommend.“

“Me and my Brother was going to Buffalo W Wings and never got seated so I chose to go to Mug Shots and it was awesome. We meet our waitress Lana Robertson was the best at her job. It wasn't crowded at that time of night but she was friendly, kind, and courteous. She was great and because of her I'll be going back to Mug Shots . Thanks Lana for being an outstanding server hope to see you soon.“

“Not from Mississippi from Birmingham AL our American Deli has the works I came here asking for honey mustard sprinkle with lemon pepper the young lady so we don’t have that I said ok well give me lemon pepper with Cajun ranch fries she said she’d you from I flatlined when she asked that ??? but the food was great!“

“There should be more than 5 stars allowed for this Applebee's!! Our server Jamya was exemplary and checked on us often without being a pest.The manager, if he passed our table, made it a point to ask if we were enjoying the food and thanking us for choosing them. I've been in much less crowded Applebee's with far far less efficiency. I could tell this place runs like a well-oiled machine!The food (lime chicken lunch special, and Bourbon St. chicken and shrimp for hubby) was delicious and appealingly plated.100% recommended to all!!“

“I have been eating at WH my entire road tripping life. But this breakfast hibachi extravaganza has outdone themselves with this establishment. The service was friendly. The bathroom had a wait, but that’s on WH as a whole, not this joint. Our server’s standards were higher than our own when it came to our pecan waffle! Our standards aren’t much, so that’s not saying much, but it’s saying something. Thanks, Marissa, for top notch service and food with a smile!“

“The front desk person welcomed us, took our order, brought our drinks and food to our table and was very nice. The food was cooked perfectly pieces of fish were a good size. Individual condiments were available at the self serve table in the lobby.“

“Great food, amazing service, and I actually got a free brownie for doing the receipt survey. Its on 45 though so folks don't know how to drive, be careful ??Wheelchair accessibility: Has ramps to access all doors and has plenty of "lobby" room“
