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.“

“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“

If you haven't been to Applebee's in the last couple years, it's time to give it another try. The atmosphere is is nice, the staff is great, the food has improved and the restaurant is clean.“

“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!!!“

“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! ❤️“

“I was visiting town for a remodeling project and had lunch here after. The host Becca was provided exceptional service and I appreciated her starting me with some refreshing strawberry lemonade. She allowed me to customize my menu and the salad bar was rare and gave me nostalgia. Loved my experience here will be back if I’m ever in town again. I know some reviews here are criticizing the diner appearance but I appreciate that it has that true American diner feel and not the corporate contemporary bs other brands are adopting.“

“Best fresh food in Columbia! Highly recommend the tomato basil soup and the veggie sandwich.“

“The menu needs to go back to the old one. Food is good, but not as good as it used to be. Service was great.“

“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.“

“Bucky’s is a must-stop in Columbia, TN. My absolute favorite is the hamburger steak, 10/10 every single time we visit. It’s consistently delicious and never disappoints. Breakfast is great too; the pancakes are fluffy and tasty, just the way they should be. For lunch, the meat-and-veggie options are solid and comforting. The atmosphere is one of my favorite parts. It feels like a classic diner, warm and welcoming. On top of that, the service is always friendly and attentive. Bucky’s is comfort food done right.“

“Used to love the chicken fingers, but you took them off the menu, we haven’t been back since. Raise the price if you have to, but don’t take them off.“

“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“

“Now that this place is under new ownership, the difference is incredible! The food was fresh, flavorful, and honestly some of the best we’ve had in a long time. You can tell a lot of care goes into both the food and the overall experience. Everything we ordered was delicious, and the service was wonderful too. So glad we gave them another chance—We will definitely be back!“

“Very nice and well served, food was good . Spontaneously visited . We come from Germany 🇩🇪“

“friendly staff and warm service with a smile 🥰🥰🥰“

“First time eating here while in town for work. Great lunch. We loved the rib platter, the ribs were tender and the meat fell right off those bones. Great bbq sauce. I honestly thought that was the BEST broccoli salad I've ever had. The pickle fries were yummy, but need a ranch dipper. The loaded baked potato salad was really good too. The gal behind the counter was quickly moving everyone through the line. Overall great lunch. Lots of traffic rolling through their drive thru, so you can see it's a local favorite.“
