“Went to the one in Columbus (GA) yesterday (7/27/24) with a handful of co-workers. For most of us it was our first time there. Ashley did an AWESOME JOB!! She answered all our questions about the dishes we were interested in ordering, and once our food came out she brought the few extra items asked for super quick. When a couple people's drinks were getting low (non alcohol ones) she brought everyone a new drink. The music was a little louder than I prefer, but we all had a great time, enjoyed our food, and I would definitely recommend the restaurant.”
“the food is always good my waiter Walter was excellent.. I'm just not happy paying $2.95 for a lemonade, because I asked for water with lemon. next time tell me 2 slices of lemon cost that much cause I wouldn't dare .. especially when I carry my own lemon packs just Incase.”
“Just returned from a special celebratory Diwali dinner at Dishoom. The Diwali menu included popular Indian street food, all of which arrived quickly and tasted delicious! We enjoyed the Vada Pav, Pav Bhaji, and Samosa Chat.
Atmosphere is also lovely. We'll be back.”
“Ridiculously amazing food! I had the crab dip, pork chops, and two desserts. Everything was perfect!”
“Food was great!! Had a wonderful server who was very attentive (I believe his name was Josh, not sure) we ordered the chicken Florentine and salmon. Good flavor!! We sat on the patio and as there were shades to block out sun, I would suggest fans. We saw heaters (were not on) but definitely needed a fan or two! Was also a bit too quiet. No music playing and the tables are pretty close together, which allows you to hear others conversations. Over all was a good experience with tasty food and cocktails!!”

“went to Saffron yesternight for din with wife. Super food and service! Great owner/host. I had the goat (Australian not American!) curry: tender, well done, tangy and rich! Wife had chicken curry: HUGE PORTIONS! We have enough left over for two more meals. I highly recommend it; very priceworthy.”
“The service was exceptional! The Mahi-Mahi layered with the Mango Sauce is delicious! Don't forget to try the Calamari. It struck the perfect balance between freshness and crispiness. A great meal in an awesome city. Well done, Bonefish in Columbus!”
“Highly recommend Epic. The food was excellent and the service was way beyond expections. Tyler is excellent at doing his job. Can hardly wait to go back. Someone said that I would not regret spending the money or going to experience a high class restaurant , they were absolutely right. Hight recommend!!”
Restaurants with Delivery
“If you like gyros you will love this place. Staff is excellent and very helpful and friendly. They will give you a sample of the meat if it’s your first time. Food is great and if they try to talk you into the saucy fries just go for it. I highly recommend this place.

“This was my first time patronizing Main Squeeze and it won't be my last. I went in with intention of buying a gift certificate, but decided to try the special Apple Pie Bowl. It was so fresh & delicious!! Tried samples of some of their cold press juices, and must admit, I'm excited to try one of their cleanses in the new year! Service was excellent and all questions were answered in detail!!”
“Not only is the pizza good but the service we’ve had has been great every time we go there or even order through door dash. They made a mistake on our most recent order and when we called to tell them they made it right immediately and went above and beyond to correct it. This place is great”

“Amazing from start to finish. Love the atmosphere, excellent server - when she couldn't answer my husband about the steak she got the owner who completely won my husband the skeptic over! This place honestly was the best food in town and we went back the next night and took our son who just turned green at Fort Benning. My son said it was the best steak he had ever eaten in his life. First night I had shrimp and grits that were amazing but had steak the second night and was blown away by the deliciousness. What a great restaurant! Highly recommend!”
“Yelp Review for Big Mama Vietnam Kitchen - Columbus, GA ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I had the absolute pleasure of dining at Big Mama Vietnam Kitchen, and I can confidently say it was a fantastic experience from start to finish! 🙌🍜 Food: The dishes were bursting with authentic flavors! I tried their pho, banh mi, and spring rolls—each one was a masterpiece. The broth in the pho was rich and comforting, and the banh mi had the perfect balance of crunch and savory fillings. Everything tasted so fresh and delicious. 🥖🍲✨ Service: The staff was incredibly warm and welcoming. They made me feel right at home, and their attentiveness made the whole experience even better. Drinks were refilled promptly, and the food came out quickly despite how busy they were! 💁♀️💨 Ambiance: The vibe of the restaurant was so inviting! From the cozy seating to the beautiful Vietnamese decor, it was a feast for both the eyes and the palate. The soft background music added a nice touch to the overall relaxed atmosphere. 🌿🎶 This place is a true gem in Columbus, GA! If you’re craving authentic Vietnamese food with great service and a wonderful ambiance, this is the place to go. Highly recommend! 👍💯”
“awesome place, greatvstaff”
“My husband took me to Olive Garden last night for my birthday because he knows I love to eat there. Wow was it delicious!!! Our server did such a wonderful job so I wanted to give her some recognition. Her name is A'Chelsea and I can't say enough good things about her. Im not exaggerating when I say from start to finish she did an outstanding job at takin care of us! We never had to ask for refills on our drinks, breadsticks, salad, soup, or even our to go boxes! She was so sweet that we wanted to speak to the manager and let him know what a fantastic job she was doing. His name was Jonas and he was very nice as well. He was very attentive and spoke highly of all of his employees and said how important it was that they treated all of the customers there with courtesy. He was very happy to hear that we loved the food and the service that A'Chelsea gave us. We will definitely ask for her when we go back!”

“My first time here & it was amazing! The Catfish & Grits were top tier. My fiance had the Mardi Gras Pasta & she was stuffed, she said it was good. I finished it off with some Peach Bread Pudding! Also, the mimosas were good as well.. they have Mango & Watermelon as well as a classic one!”

“2.20.25..I arrived for a D/H appt. The guard at the booth will either come out and get your info or take it down from the booth and allow access into yard. Some do come out but you know. I checked into the shipping department and the gentleman at the door checking me in was really nice. He advised what door to drop my MT and I grabbed my load. There's overnight parking along the side road. Ty Hostess!!”
“I came to enjoy a Sunday morning breakfast. A friend wanted me to bring something back, so I told the waitress that I wanted to eat and then order something to go. She was very accommodating, listened to my order and got it correct first time. At the end of my meal, she got my to go order, again it was right the first time. All of the food was prepared as ordered, and was very tasty! I recommend this place, they have a friendly atmosphere!”
“Been here twice and great both times! I will return as the food was great and the folks serving were incredible!”

“This is my first time visiting this establishment and would recommend if you are wanting to enjoy some great comfort food and coffee. I came here to have a quiet place to complete some school assignments for this semester. I will definitely make this my go to spot for Saturday and Sunday mornings.”

“Katie was our waitress and she did an awesome job! Ver very attentive In making sure we did not need anything! She seems like she was happy to be at work and had the most beautiful smile while serving us!”
“This is my favorite date spot in town! It’s a little pricey, but the food is amazing!! I love the ever-changing menu and unique and incredibly tasty drinks! My only complaint would be that it’s not even remotely kid friendly, but that could also be a good thing for many. 😆”
Drive-Thru Restaurants
“The food is always good here. I had to stop in to try the newest flavor. It was good, but the thing that really got me this time was the fried pickles. Great flavor and texture of the pickle and breading, and the dusting of ranch seasoning seals the deal. I couldn't believe they weren't charging more for it. Get you some before they realize it's a steal.”
“So my best friend and myself wanted to go outside of our comfort zone. We decided to pick a place we had never had and just go to it. We walked in and were greeted by a very friendly young man. I told him to surprise me with a plate that I was outside of my comfort zone. That plate of food was the most amazing food I have ever tasted. We will definitely put this restaurant on our Bestie Monday date list.”

“Thanks to the Manager for helping serve an out of town Hockey Team with Pizza after the game meal. Pizzas were great and delivered on his own time to the Hotel. We had called several competitors prior to Mellow Mushroom, only to be treated and talked to rudely and not helpful at all. We needed to purchase enough to feed 35 hungry guys He made it happen. See you again soon.”
“Being from Lafayette Louisiana I was iffy about trying Cajun food from Georgia, but I well tell you I was glad I did. The boudin was amazing, the crawfish was juicy. I will 100% have to come back and try other stuff. Just for the little bit I was in there eating I felt like I was back at home”
“Great food, great service, entertaining cooks. beautiful scenery. &if you sit at the grill you get a lot more food!”
“I’ve been in Columbus for about 5 months and have eaten out at least 3 times a week! This is by far the best restaurant I’ve eaten at. The building is beautiful and the owner is one of the nicest gentlemen and best cooks I’ve had the pleasure of meeting. I highly recommend”

“An absolute wonderful example of a mom and pop restaurant that has standard the test of time even through our crazy economy. I got two chili and cheese dogs for eight dollars. They were hot fresh and came served with a smile. The owner was the most friendly person I’ve ever met and we stood there and talked about everything during the short time it took for him to make my order. I highly recommend this place if you’re just looking for a no frill hotdog/scrambled dog definitely go check them out”
“I was at the one on 13th today for someone’s birthday brunch. It was my first time and I was surely not disappointed. There were plenty of food options to choose from. I got the chicken and waffles with a side of scrambled eggs with cheese. Everything was reasonably priced. The portion size was definitely worth every penny! Our server was kind and consistent in her attentiveness to our table. We never had to ask for drink refills because she always noticed and kept us refilled. My only concern was the spacing and seating for those who are disabled. There are a lot of tables and chairs and they were rather close together. I have a physical disability and may sometimes be in a wheelchair or scooter. I did not see where/how I would’ve been able to navigate throughout the restaurant. I did not ask for disabled assistance today so I do not want to assume that they would not have been able to accommodate me if I had needed such. I also have an autistic child. He would have definitely been overstimulated because of everything being so cramped. I did not see a seating area that was away from of the other busyness, but like I said… I did not ask for such. I called my husband as soon as I got in the car and told him that we had another spot to add to our favs… so I’ll definitely be back!”
“Our server is very friendly! She ensured we are enjoying our foods. At the end, we told her that we aren’t from here and would like for recommend to other places to eat. Without hesitation, she came back with a list of places from the owner of this restaurant. Who else did that ! Thank you!! Definitely highly recommended!!”
“I was sad when Q’s BBQ closed but was excited to hear the Kpot was opening up! I love korean bbq and hot pot so its perfect. $30 for all you can eat and $35 for that plus hotpot is a great deal!!! I highly recommend this place for other bbq lovers as well as kpop fans 😌❤️😊”
“tonight for my birthday the manager over charged us. we were told before we ordered that they were closing at 8pm but the Manager still sat us in the server section. our food came out before our drinks and it took too long for our drinks to come. my Salmon was not done and made me sick. when the food was remade it showed up on our ticket twice. No mint for my mojito so I asked for a strawberry margarita. The drink was too nasty I took 2 sips and couldn't ask to take it off my ticket because the manager walked away after handing us the ticket. I am so disappointed the female manager just walked away and had mentioned she took the salmon off but couldn't explain why she rang it up when my order was just a remake of the mistake on their behalf. the server was good I just hate he had to go through all this tonight”
“My experience at Italian Soul was life changing I have never been treated like a Queen at any restaurant before Italian Soul gave me first class treatment .When I walked thru the doors I felt like I was family such a warm loving ,caring group of people they made sure that I was taken care of they made sure that I never had to ask for anything. I highly recommend Italian Soul for your family FOOD needs.”
“The owner of the store did not have the jarred grape leaves I needed, but she offered to pick some fresh ones from her garden for me. I returned the next day to find 60 beautiful leaves, for which she only charged me 5 dollars! She was very kind and knowledgeable; she even advised me on how to amend my clay soil so that I can grow my own in the future. Such a lovely person.”
“They only problem I have is that they charge $10 for a tea when other places charge from $7 to $8 dollars. That the only reason I stop going there.”
“We visited from Florida and really enjoyed our meals. However, our server Symone D was terrible! Very unpleasant, unfriendly, and snappy when simple questions about the menu were asked. She needs additional training on customer service and communication and learn how to explain the menu.”
“My wife and I ordered a to go order for our Anniversary, when I say exceptional customer service was a great experience! Gus was our to- go attendant, he made us feel so welcome we are coming back this weekend to dine in. He was prompt, friendly, and welcoming. Our food was packaged well. If more franchises had what Longhorns have in Gus they are starting off on the right track! Best to go experience I have ever had! Thanks Gus, for your excellent customer service!”
“The staff is wonderful. Highly knowledgeable of whiskey and scotch “Matt with a Hat” is the man. Samantha is a delight and will keep you laughing with her dry wit, humor, and sarcasm. With 400+ bottles to choose and cocktails, you can’t be afraid to ask for a recommendation. But I would highly recommend a rye old fashion or an Aviator w/rye. Thank me later.”
“Great Food really had a great time there. Also great drinks at the bar.Watress is very friendly and knowledgeable. I highly recommend this place to eat at!!”
“We drove 3hrs just to have “real” pizza! Relocating from Bflo, NY to Alabama we haven’t had real pizza! Although i love my NY style, this Chicago stuffed was amazing! The Buffalo wings were just as good! A new travel destination for the summer!!”
“Wonderful flavorful food. Amazing customer service and the food was fresh definitely will be recommending to others.”
“They were able to accommodate our large party (30) with little notice after another restaurant “lost” our reservation. The servers were amazing and the food was fantastic!! That’s the best burger I’ve had in a long time!”
“Not from Columbus so wasn’t sure of where to eat so we stumbled upon this jewel. The waitress was such a sweet young lady and was very attentive. The fried green tomatoes were excellent along with my pesto & shrimp pasta and my husband’s pecan crusted salmon. Also couldn’t resist the red velvet cake! Would definitely recommend and return when in the area.”
“The down by the river view was phenomenal! Very beautifully breathtaking! However, the service could have been a lot better had they had attentive waiters and bartenders coming around to tables/sections. It's a nice place for a bit of chatter and a cocktail. The food on their menu could've been alot more fulfilling ration for what you're paying. Overall I really enjoyed my date night there!”
“I had the BEST experience on 12/01 for my birthday it AMAZING! The club side was remodeled very nicely. Communication about the VIP was clear including my decor it was big and spacious. Karaoke was very fun, I sing twice. The DJ was FYE 🔥🔥🔥 which made the vibe even more better. I enjoyed playing pool. The drinks were GREAT 💫 I highly recommended. ❤️❤️❤️❤️”

Wheelchair accessibility: Definitely”
“This eatery is located inside Piggly Wiggly and it has a great menu and the food tastes great.”
“Food was excellent! Best Mediterranean salad added ( gyro meat ) we have had in a long time. Gyro wrap and pizza were very good. Pleasantly surprised since everything else in the area was closed. Drinks were great and priced well. Staff very friendly and on point! The inside could use a makeover, dated and very worn tables and chairs.
We returned the next evening for drinks and music had a great time! We recommend and we would return if in town again.”
“Our party had 4 different dishes and they were all excellent. We had the crab cakes for appetizer and they were delicious! Great atmosphere, great service, and great food. We will be back next time we’re in town.”

“This place is great!!! Food is phenomenal, service was amazing, and the atmosphere was fun! Just went tonight and we will be going back very soon!!!! Heck, I’d drive back from Nashville TN to eat there again!!”
“Jaylen, who opens the store each morning is an awesome employee for this location! He is always very friendly, prompt and courteous when I go through this drive thru only location. I stop by 3-4 mornings each work week for my breakfast smoothie, and he has always offered incredible service. I wish there were more employees like him at every food service business! This Smoothie King location is blessed to have such a great young man as an employee.
My only complaint is that because I pay with a card, I don't get the option to tip him for offering such great service, as I never carry cash on me. At other Smoothie King locations in town, with inside service, I get the option to tip. Please figure out a way for us drive thru patrons to leave a tip for great service.”
“We was in there today to celebrate a friend birthday. They was all so awesome. I love this Applebees! It a great team !! Was not rushed in anyway . Was there so long think we should have paid rent on the booth .”
“Our waitress Taylor was smart. She was friendly. She was knowledgeable. She actually made our experience even better. We’ll definitely be back to this location to see her.”
“We go for the half price appetizers they offer later at night, fed three people for $19 and went home with leftovers! They aren’t usually very busy so it’s easy to get in and out of quickly.”

“Outstanding Service for Our Team’s Large Order Kira, the manager, and her team at Jersey Mike’s in Columbus, GA, were absolutely outstanding in preparing 25 sandwiches for my daughter’s college softball team during their tournament. From start to finish, they made the process seamless. Our order was ready upon pickup, with each sandwich labeled with the player’s name—and they got every detail right! Kira went above and beyond, following up via email and text—even on her day off—to ensure everything was perfect. The team was a pleasure to work with, and we highly recommend Jersey Mike’s for anyone in town with a large group. Fantastic service and, of course, delicious sandwiches!”
“I live about 25-30 minutes away from Columbus Ga,and Thai Basil is one of mine and my family’s favorite spots to eat at.Sometimes I’ll take the drive down there to get us dinner and when I get home the food is still fresh,and hot. I don’t mind the drive because I love Columbus Ga and I know that the food is going to be good.And the funny part about it is that they know me,they how many meals I’m getting and know what I want on all of them,although sometimes my parents changes from noodles to rice or visa versa”
“I ran over here on my 30 min break and first of all ..GOT BACK TO WORK ON TIME! The customer service was awesome. The food is fresh, hot and so0o0o0o good! Do not be fooled by the size of the bowls..they pack a ton food in there! it will fill you up. I dont like the fat there is no where to sit..but I understand why the owner chose to do that. The menu is short and sweet . ( great for new customer so I was not confused.I recommend adding something sweet to the menu...”

“I love Cheddars! I have never ordered anything that I didn't enjoy eating. Seems to always be cooked to perfection and delivered to the table in a timely manner. Hot, fresh, and delicious. The wait staff we have had has always been on top of things. And they allowed us to sit and visit with friends even after our meal was finished. Again, I love Cheddars. They have several choices to please different people's taste. The prices are right for the serving amounts. I recommend Cheddars!”
