“Went for the AYCE Korean BBQ with a friend and we were very happy with the experience. The banchan (Korean side dishes) were delicious and fresh. The meat was good quality and plentiful, and our favorites were the Mirinae bulgogi and the brisket. We tried the mandoo (dumplings) and the miso soup and both were very good. My absolute favorite was the japchae (stir-fried glass noodle dish) and I would come back for this dish alone. The place was clean , the price was great, and we can’t wait to come back! Highly recommend!!”

I cannot speak highly enough of this place...”

There’s not many healthy options around here so I was so happy to know when I moved from Spring Hill to Columbia that little juice co would be an option for me. I also love when I run into the owner Rachelle. She’s always so warm and welcoming. Y’all go check it out. They got the juice!!!!!”

“Oh my goodness! Wonderful food, absolute family atmosphere! Loved everything! Will return soon...maybe tomorrow.”

“This is the BEST place for everything!”

“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!!!”

“​I recently ordered the catfish plate from Divinely Inspired Creations, and I absolutely loved every bite! The catfish was perfectly cooked and seasoned just right. It was paired with some of the best onion rings I’ve ever had—they were perfectly fried, crispy, and full of great flavor. The slaw was also a delicious, refreshing pairing that complemented the fish wonderfully.

​And you must save room for dessert! The slice of Honey Bun Cake was just plain fantastic.

​Every item was quality, fresh, and delicious. I will always be happy to stop by and pick up a plate whenever I'm visiting town. Highly recommend!”

“Note: this was at the Donelson store: Just had my first and last visit here. Asked if there was any more of the Tennessee Strawberries and Cream as the tub was quite low - didn't appear to be enough for one scoop, even, and the young man behind the counter simply said, "No." I mean, I got my question answered, but he could have offered what was left to me in a cup for free if I bought another scoop of something else, for instance, or let me know when they would have more, or talked about the dairy-free version with chocolate chips, or...SOMEthing!! He just stood there and looked around, without trying to tell me about the products or anything. So, speaking of products, maybe he didn't, because there wasn't much to talk about. I settled on the mint chocolate chip and vanilla, both of which were just awful. You can tell the ice cream is made with a large amount of gums and emulsifiers, because it's very gummy and stringy. The mint chocolate chip was bitter, and not very minty. The vanilla was overly sweet and tasted like caramel, which I don't like, and was crunchy, as though the ice had solidified because it wasn't kept churning while freezing. It had a "slushy" consistency. Lastly, the vanilla had bits of some other flavor in it. Strawberry? Caramel? It was hard to tell - just darker sections of ice cream throughout. As I said - the whole experience was quite unpleasant, and I won't be back. Ever.”

“I recently tried Chick-fil-A's Icedream cone, and it was absolutely amazing! The texture was perfectly smooth and creamy, and the flavor was just the right amount of sweetness—light, refreshing, and not too heavy. It had that classic vanilla taste that reminds me of the best kind of soft serve, and the cone itself added a nice crunchy contrast.

For the price, it's such a great treat—simple, delicious, and satisfying. If you're looking for a quick dessert that leaves you wanting more, the Icedream cone is definitely worth it!”

“Service and food are the BEST!”

“Brenda made working nights bearable I don't. Like to ghost people. My night job ended TVA Gallatin 3 weeks I'll b back GET THOSES TAGS”

“The best taco shop outside of San Diego and Nashville!”

“We love the Alex’s across from Rivergate Mall. Their food and fresh fruit waters (aqua frescas)! The wings are great and the house special fried rice is a must! Staff is very friendly as well.”

“I’m a trucker, and have been all over the southwest. This is the best Mexican food I’ve had in Tennessee. (I’m a native Tennessean) you have to try this place’s Birria!!”

“Best cheesesteak sub I've found in TN. The staff were awesome! Will definitely go back.”

“First time in and it couldn't have been better. The restaurant is clean, everything we ordered was delicious, and the staff was friendly and helpful. My only regret is there was so much food we didn't have room to try one of the desserts. Return trip is in our future. 😋”

“Best food and service anywhere on the planet”

“We go to Panchos everytime we visit Columbia. I wish we lived closer. Great food and great service!”

“First timers here! Omg the food was great! You can either order from the menu or go and pick exactly what you want in your food. Service was excellent! Dining, let them make more money then spruce the dining area up just a little and you have a perfect restaurant. Oh! And main thing for me, it's clean. No bug smell. Used to do pest control...I have that nose. I will definitely be back, a lot!!!”

“I am from California so I am used to having loads of legit Mexican food options. I am also Mexican, I have served as a cook with my specialty being Mexican food and I am genuinely addicted to tacos, trying tacos everywhere I go throughout the US, Mexico and E.U. With that said, I recently tried Mexican food in Columbia at another place and... NO (is all I will say). Today I needed tacos because it is Tuesday. So, I read through several reviews and menus, and looked at many pictures of tacos. I ultimately chose Beto's and I am happy I did. I had 3 chicken tacos and they were delicious, from the handmade tortillas to the perfectly seasoned chicken. They aren't greasy like authentic street tacos but they tasted fresh and flavorful. Customer service was great too, the gentleman who helped me was super nice and even threw in extra salsa when I told him I like to burn my mouth! The salsa was pretty good too (Not too spicy but full of flavor). If I am ever in the area again I will definitely return and try more items off the menu.”

“Great watering hole and the girl tending the bar was awesome”

“I stopped in Columbia to show a visiting friend around and happened upon this fabulous little bakery. We bought a peanut butter pie for dessert for that evening and OMGEEEEE! It was incredible. Silky and light with a chocolate base and just enough whipped cream. I wish they were closer to Florence (but my waist is kinda glad they are not). Definitely recommend and their prices are very reasonable for such great quality.”

“excelente servicio muy buena la atención y sus platillos 💯 por 💯 sabroso”

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

“A must try when in the Columbia Tennessee area, with surrounding locations as well! Great food , try their daily specials.”

“The staff are really friendly! One time I ran a few minutes behind grabbing by coffee that I ordered through the app, and they remade it even though I was fine with it being a little watered down! The drinks are pretty consistent and the foods good too. They’re one of the fastest Starbucks I’ve ever been to honestly.”

“Lindsey is a terrific server. Professional. Engaging. Witty! The food was excellent and the atmosphere was such that it was easy to talk and enjoy my time there.”

“Always a fun and friendly environment and my kids LOVE going to eat ice cream at Baskin Robbins! We have never had a bad experience here, and there are always a ton of ice-cream flavors to try and they are all great!”

“Food is fresh. I want to shout out their staff who have demonstrated good, friendly customer service on all my visits here over the past 3-4 years. A lot of workers in fast food don't even greet you in any way, just sling your food to you. Kudos to this location!!!!”
