It's hard to choose a favorite BBQ place in Columbia, I love the ribs from one place, beans from another, etc. But these guys are consistently the best, with generous portions and good quality. The fried green tomatoes are a must-try.

Small plates are good for sharing, we order the pretzels every time without fail. Delicious cocktails, and reasonably priced for how good it is. Small so prepare for a wait on weekends.

Yummy middle eastern/Mediterranean food. Falafel is always crispy and well-seasoned, and the chicken schawarma disappears quickly once it arrives. We usually order through orderup.
