Henny Bogan Does Cracker BarrelColumbiaâs Cracker Barrel scored big on a recent lunch. While Mrs. Bogan raved about the grilled chicken salad, I luxuriated in the best catfish meal Cracker Barrel has ever laid on me. I prefer grilled too and got three sides with it which included sweet carrots, steamed broccoli â never better â and a delectable kale and brussels sprout salad, served up with cranberries. Service was very attentive, caring and efficient. Cracker Barrel has this down to a tee, since the meal arrives within ten minutes and the more than reasonable bill is always ready on time. Great place for families and travellers on the go.

My company used JJ's barbecue for an event we were holding. We got pulled pork, macaroni and cheese, and coleslaw. The pulled pork was the best I've ever had in my lifetime and the sauce they give you were that made it even more amazing! I was very impressed with how good the food was and would recommend them!

While passing through on a business trip a local took me to The Dotted Lime, said it was a great place for healthy local food. I found it to be fantastic and wished I lived in Columbia so I could return more often. I had the "Something to Taco "Bout", which featured SW Chicken bacon, SW slaw, cheddar & ranch on corn tortillas. I highly recommend it but there were other things on the menu I'd like to try too. Sandwiches to pizza and much of made with locally sourced foods. The floor is painted with chalk board paint so kids can go wild drawing on the floor. Fun, cool atmosphere, though located out on the strip, I think they'd be great in a downtown location.

I have eaten as a Chic Fil A now a few times. I am not really a fan. The waffle fries are just ok in my book. I had chicken tenders this time. They were ok. I think it is just a over hyped fast food restaurant in my opinion. Not in any hurry to go again.

I heard of Katiepie's from a stranger and tried it right away. I had the meatloaf sandwich and was blown away by the flavors! I had never had a meatloaf sandwich before but read positive reviews beforehand. My server was friendly and attentive. Very good prices.

Had dinner earlier on a Sunday evening so not terribly busy. Service was very good. Tried their local favorite, grilled chicken, with a salad and baked potato. Everything was delicious and all the plates passing by the table looked great as well. Would recommend. Not a typical steakhouse vibe!Thank you for taking the time to write a great review! We are happy you had a good experience dining with us and look forward to seeing you again soon!

Genuinely antique atmosphere, fast friendly staff, food was all good and not too expensive.They definitely know how to make sweet tea right.Mojo Burgers were enjoyable (burger with pulled pork, slaw, smoked baked beans and BBQ sauce), tasty and messy like a good sandwich should be.I had the half rack of ribs, dry rubbed with cherry smoke, strong bark on the smoke, meat was tender and came apart easily, good flavor, smoked baked beans were nice-not over sweet and perky from peppers and onions blended in, corn cake with the entrée was interesting and I will be searching out how to make them.This place gets the best rating I have which is I would definitely go back again.

This place is great! From the old squeaky porch to the old pictures on the wall, it is full of nostalgia. The food was great! I recommend going early for breakfast. The appetizer is a homemade cinnamon roll. The biscuits are canât miss too. Donât forget the gravy either.

My husband and I ate lunch here at the advice of a nearby shop owner. We each had a chicken salad sandwich and my husband also had the chicken tortilla soup. Both were served with chips and a kosher dill pickle slice. VERY GOOD! Wait service was friendly as well. The place is small & was very busy but we were seated right away. As we left, there were people waiting to be seated.
