Restaurants in Columbia

Sure. They make an alright burger.

Try Southern Belly BBQ next door to Pawley's for a good bbq sandwich. Their original location is near the football stadium, but I believe they've recently opened a 2nd location next door to Pawley's.

Another good restaurant that I enjoy down in that area is Blue Cactus Cafe

Keep in mind, these are all on the cheaper side in terms of price, so don't expect anything fancy.

That's a shame because it's so much better.

When I was there for the 2011 Auburn vs SCAR game I went to some brewery near downtown that served a beer braised duck quarter with grits that was amazing.

Used to go here as a kid when I lived in Cola. Dad would play darts and I would sit at the bar eating the turtleheads. Good times.

I had some good food at a bbq shack a mile from the stadium. Odd place, you can park in the front yard

Left disappointed

I like Al's Upstairs in West Columbia for seafood. Its across the river not far from the stadium. You might just want to go to the Vista and walk around. Tons of bars and restaurants to walk to.

Bourbon; Oak Table; Terra; Motor Supply are the higher end places in or near the Vista. Can't go wrong with any of those. Bourbon has the best atmosphere.

Many other options if you want casual mid-range. The Vista area has many options.

Mr Friendly's still around?
