“Best juice around served by some of the sweetest people!!! The juice is so fresh and the food is amazing. 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.

The staff and owners could not be nicer—they are always friendly, helpful, and make you feel welcome every time you stop in. I have used them for multiple large and small catering events, and they are always fantastic to work with. The food is consistently amazing, and the process is easy, professional, and stress-free. Whether you are grabbing a bite to eat or planning an event, Towne and Coffee is always a great choice. I highly recommend and use them all the time !”

“Absolutely AMAZING!! I had the blood orange, and my wife the pineapple; both blew our boots off!!! Closest thing (and it was not near as good) was in NY. Met Joey's dad, and he is awesome as well, it must run in the family. You would be a fool to pass this place by. GO GET YOU SOME!!!”

“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!!!”

“Thank you so much for a delicious dinner! I’ll bring a bag next time. 😂 You are so sweet❣️ Definitely be back!”

“This is the BEST place for everything!”

“Just a thought …came in to get an Americano with a tiny bit of oat milk and I’m charged an extra whole dollar for that. Girl behind the counter says it’s already in the system that way. then have different options in the system or have a self serve area where people can put their own in it that way we’re not getting nickel and dimmed.”

“If are going to have breakfast anywhere within a 50 mile radius of Columbia TN. be sure to go to Katie Pie and Sons!! My family have been going there for the past 5+ years...excellent food, excellent service, very nice surroundings, just a great consistent experience every time. Katie, Pete, Marissa and everyone there work to give you good quality food for a fair price. Don't miss it. I rate it a 10 outta 10.”

“Mrs. Suzie and her cousin know how to throw down in the kitchen!! the pulled pork sandwich was amazing!! the baked beans are off the chain the gumbo was better than my mother's back home in New Orleans and the Dr pepper cake was so good!! I highly recommend and will always stop here when coming through town. put this on your short list of places you must eat when you're in Columbia”

“They always have honest,good food. I just had both the ham and the turkey dinner plates and was extremely happy, ham was perfectly cooked with an excellent pineapple glaze. Turkey was moist and flavorful. Cornbread dressing excellent. Unbelievable tastes at an extremely affordable price. A fraction of what other restaurants were charging. Way to go !!! Highly recommend to anyone”

“At this location, there is a young man named Henry that works there - and if every Chick-Fil-A across America had one of him, it would be an even better place to go! He’s kind, energetic, respectful, and always has a smile on his face! During your next visit to Columbia, TN CFA, y’all show Henry some love! Great location all around!!”

“I didn't catch the guys name but he was such a genuine and kind young man. We went to study, loved it. The music choice was fifty's love songs, Awesome!”

“Beautiful pastries and bread . My only complaint was that the sourdough bread did not have that sourdough flavor. It was good but not the tangy taste sourdough is supposed to have. Overall experience was good.”

“Love this place! Pizza has always been amazing. The cheese bread is 💯 yes! If I had to make one critique, the lemon pepper seasoning on the wings wasn’t my favorite, if you ask for lighter seasoning or if they get a seasoning with less sodium, I think it would be spot on. The chicken itself was great! Definitely should try this place.”

“I only have one complaint about this place, it’s not close enough to me. We absolutely love this bar and grill. The atmosphere the entertainment and food are the best.”

“First visit for my husband and I…great experience! Delicious food! Our waitress Lexi was the best! And left us the sweetest note! Will recommend! ❤️”

“super friendly and lots of goodies to chose from!”

“Taps Off Main is such a great addition to downtown Columbia. They always have an awesome rotating selection of beers, and the staff is more than happy to let you sample and try different options before you buy. They’re also great at giving recommendations if you’re not sure what to get. It’s the perfect convenient spot on the Columbia square to grab a quick beer during lunch, after work, or just hang out with a small group of friends. The atmosphere is always chill and welcoming, and I love that they have board games and card games available to play. The outdoor sidewalk seating is also really nice on pretty days downtown. I also wanted to share that the owner graciously offered me a ride to my car today while I was waiting on maintenance work to be finished. Such a genuinely kind gesture that really speaks to the type of people they are. Great beer, great atmosphere, and great people. Highly recommend checking them out!”

“My siblings and I hosted our parents 60th wedding anniversary celebration at August Sage. Sara and her team were so incredible to work with. The space was the perfect size and vibe for the party, and all of our guests loved the food and drinks. Sara and Anna Grace were so helpful throughout the planning process and we highly recommend these wonderful people for your next event!”

“We come here at least once a month and always love our food. Heat levels are perfect, food is flavorful, and the staff are always kind and polite. The atmosphere is quiet and calm. Our favorites are the TomYum soup and Tom Kha soup! Oh, and the salad rolls and papaya salad are amazing.”

“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. 😋”

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

“I have been a golden member of another coffee shop for over 10 years and will not say who they are! But, they have NOTHING on Dutch Bros. You all have the best friendly service and coffee around hands down! You all have so many Sugar Free options available for those who need it! Thanks DB for always being Heaven in a cup!”

“Great lattes and smoothies. Stephen and the other folks are always friendly!”

“Had lunch with a few friends here today. Hands down the best Mexican food I’ve had in almost six years living in TN. Service was excellent. Such a great place. I’ll be back soon!”

That is one thing most I’ve found lack, but this was place didn’t! I also got a side of their rice and it was also great. Their green sauce is also fantastic with the right amount of spice.

“We stopped by DB’s Pizza with a softball team and a party of about 40 people, with no reservations , they handled it better than we could’ve hoped. The food was excellent—everything came out hot, fresh, and tasted great across the board. What really stood out, though, was the service. Managing a group that size isn’t easy, but the staff stayed on top of everything, kept a great attitude, and made sure we had what we needed the whole time. It made for a smooth, enjoyable experience for everyone. We’ll definitely be back”

“Service and food are the BEST!”

“​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!”

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.”

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

“My family was in town for a burial of our loved one. We stopped at Pizza Hut after. There was 20 plus of us. The waitress, Kelly, was very accommodating for all of us. She went above and beyond to meet our thirsty requests and arranged the dinner room to fit us all so we could sit together. Our pizza was delicious and fast. Strongly recommend”

“This place is new in Columbia so we decided to try it. I love wings and we got two different flavors of the original. They were amazing and we got a combo with fries. I can’t say enough good things about the flavor and quality of the wings. The fries were also great with a nice seasoning. Their ranch dip was also the best I think I have ever had. We will be going back for sure!”

“Awesome lunch had at Jimmy John’s in Columbia. Staff was super friendly, working hard. Restaurant was clean and the food was fresh and delicious. Great location.”

“I’m from Texas & it’s been four years of nothing but terrible Mexican food from several restaurants. BUT!!! We moved into the area recently from Franklin & this Columbia restaurant is our new go to spot. To debunk the bad reviews, there’s no way the food was cold.. Plates are so hot that they have to have mitts to hold the plates when bringing the food out. The salsa & salsa verde are made in house & it’s the only Mexican restaurant I’ve been to in TN that hasn’t had jarred salsa. The chips are not stale… They are thick due to being made in house & not bagged chips from a distributor. They even have a tortilla maker right in the middle of the restaurant! As for the other Texan in the reviews, expecting an enchilada with cheese sauce (no true Texan eats that besides a 10 y/o child)… Enchiladas in Texas are far different than traditional enchiladas to begin with.
I went for lunch & got the Carne Asada. It was fantastic. Everything was so good that I brought my husband back the same day for dinner. He had a steak chimichanga & I had pollo taquitos. All of it was so good & comparable to what we are used to being from Texas. Prices are not expensive either! I had a margarita flight which was delicious & actually worth it, if you know what I mean.. My husband had a frozen house margarita & he too was feeling it! Needless to say, we will be back. I went from wanting to go to a nice steakhouse with reservations for my birthday but NOPE! I’m going here!!! Too good to pass up. The ambience is awesome too.”

“its always closed. have gone there 4 times. closed and ocked p tite”

“We had such a great time, food was delicious, kids loved the koi fish in the pond, everything was awesome and reasonably priced, we’ll definitely be back.”

“Eat here! It’s amazing! Dessert rocks!”

“Sam was definitely hands down the best server we have had there. She was Very attentive, and makes sure you’re happy all the way around! Her interactions with all her guest and staying on top of her tables is definitely an art that she has down pat! Good job Applebees for having her on your team”

“consistently good food and service.”

“This was our first time ever ordering online at a subway, and my husband and I did select “more” for a few of the veggies on our sandwiches and man they did not disappoint! I can honestly say these were the best subway sandwiches we have ever had, and I think we will only go to THIS subway from now on ? so good!! Our sandwiches were ready quickly too. 10/10!!”

“I had ordered some sandwiches on the subway app, it defaulted to this store when I was in a different city. I called the store and explained my situation. They helped me out and offered me a refund for my order. The workers on the phone were very nice and made sure to get in contact with me to get my refund!”

“hot good food....very nice employees”

“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!”
