Well, let me begin by asking you a question – If you went out for one meal each day, how long do you think it would take you to eat in every restaurant in the Midlands area? Well, to answer that question it would take you 3 years and 105 days due to Columbia’s 1200 plus restaurants. Many people have only a select few restaurants and bars that they continually go to because they tend to like those the best out of the few they have tried. However, there is probably about another 1000 that you have not even seen, heard about or even been to yet.
Columbia is pretty well know for its outstanding number of southern style restaurants, but it is also well know for its ethnic restaurants and bars. No matter where you are from Columbia’s ethnic restaurants can transport you around the world and for the bars … everyone is at least familiar with Columbia for its main bar attractions in the Vista and 5 points.
Now I know everyone has a favorite restaurant or bar, but I hope to show you that there are hundreds of different restaurants and bars you could go to in Columbia that will satisfy your taste for food and entertainment.

Columbia S.C. is know for putting the soul in southern food. Southerners have a cooking style of their own, with special touches to foods such as BBQ, fried chicken, biscuits, collard greens, pound cake and macaroni and cheese.

Bert’s Grill and Dinner on N. Main St.
Billy G’s on Gervais St.
Little Fran’s on Forest Dr.
