6 Best Southern Restaurants in Columbia

“Went here on Easter for a dinner date. Service and food was amazing! I had the hot ham and cheese and the biscuit and jelly was a great touch. My only gripe is that I was not expecting thick chunks of ham, it was a little tough. Regardless, amazing place and would definitely recommend to anyone in the area.“

“Dropped into Big Daddy’s for dinner on a work trip and it did not disappoint. We were late to try the brisket (sold out), but the ribs, pulled pork and sides were absolutely delicious. The owner (Lloyd) capped it off by spending some time at the table, making the visit memorable. When we’re back in town, we’ll be visiting Big Daddy’s again!!“

“Had the pulled pork, mac n' cheese, and green beans and everything was amazing. My friend got ribs, okra, and greens and they were delicious too. I heard the brisket is fantastic but they were out. Service was great, everyone was very friendly.Excited to go back and try more!“

“This is one of my favorite restaurants and normally I'd give a 5 star all day long but the last time we was there we saw our waiter 2 or 3 times and drinks never got refilled until we had to ask another waiter which then said she would need to find ours and send him our way and then a order was missing food still a fantastic place to go great food and I'd definitely still recommend them!“

“Always a great place to stop and eat when in Columbia. Plus, thr food is cooked/fried when you order it. Ita doesn't sit under heat Lamps like in other chicken tender establishments. The food does take a bit. This professor gives a grade of A+.“

“They weren't busy at all so we were seated right away. Our waitress (Rose) was right there getting order (she was awesome). The food good. One thing I can count on at Cracker Barrel is my eggs being cooked perfectly. I can see that shrinkflation is here as grits are a side now instead of just being brought out with breakfast.“
