You know it's good when there's a line out the door. It went quickly and we ordered our food and sat down. The food was ready very quickly too. I had a turkey club sandwich and it was delicious.

Awesome lunch spot near my office a coworker introduced me to. It's a popular place, but even when there's a line, things move quickly and before I know it, I have my food and am out the door. The space is smallish, but has plenty of seating. I've only ordered with Lisa, and I admire how she strives to remember her patron's names. She's very nice. I've ordered the shrimp salad sandwich every time I've been, and it's always excellent. I think I may up myself to the shrimp salad sub though! Reasonable prices, good customer service, and delicious food. Can't beat it! read more

Excellent! I was in Columbia on a business trip and wanted to grab a sandwich to fill my stomach, without much concern for food quality. To my surprise, a very kind young lady greeted me warmly with a big smile. I ordered an egg sandwich with ham, cheese, and butter, toasted on wheat bread. After just one bite, I was so happy. The delicious food, combined with her kindness, made my morning delightful and joyful. Thanks again, and I hope to stop by again soon. read more

The staff is awesome, superb customer service! Always friendly, always accommodating, always smiling! I normally call in my order before I come in and the lovely lady on the phone always knows that's it is me. I find it fascinating that she can remember my name! I am sure she remembers other frequent customers too. As for the food, I have tried many items on the menu and everything has been great! But, my go-to, the Buffalo chicken platter with blue cheese! The platter is so tasty! The perfect amount of heat and sweet! The chicken strips are fat and fried perfectly and they give you crinkle fries!! The amount of food they give you for the price is amazing!! If you work in Columbia, visit the beautiful ladies at Bi-Bi on your lunch break! I promise you, you will not be disappointed!

I was here last when they were Jae's and had a really good Brie sandwich but keep missing coming back since I'm rarely here on a weekday. So today I finally got back and it is Bi Bi. The cashier is upbeat even though a queue of hungry people. I ordered a cheeseburger and fries. The five at the grill are very professional with orders just like in chef's kitchens. The fries are good though the burger is really good. They put a bunch of ketchup which I don't use in the bag though if it were out on the counter side customers would likely stock their houses with it. read more

My friend and I tried this place on a whim one day and boy were we not disappointed. I got the chicken tenders and she got the buffalo chicken wrap. Both were absolutely delicious. The tenders were seasoned to perfection and the portion was very generous. The buffalo sauce for the buffalo chicken is also the best combination of sweet, tangy, and spicy. The other day, I also went back for breakfast and got the western omelet platter and can I say, one of the best omelets I've had in a while. The flavor was on point and I don't know what ketchup they use but it's also the perfect blend of tanginess and sweetness. Please do give this place a try when nearby or in need of something to eat for breakfast or lunch. The staff is always so friendly and the food is never disappointing. read more

I have been working in this business park since September but only recently tried Bi Bi Cafeteria during my move to the area. Bi Bi's has been perfect convenient option during a stressful time, where I wasn't able to make and pack my usual lunches. I usually order my food about five minutes before I walk over to pick it up. I have only ordered their BLT sandwich on white toast and salt vinegar chips. The total comes to about $7, and find that it's pretty worth it for convenience and taste. The ratio of bacon to lettuce, tomato, and mayo is perfect. I appreciate their customer service and I plan to try out their breakfast sandwiches and buffalo chicken strips, and fries in the future! read more

Stumbled on this little gem while driving back to New York City with my family. We had to grab a quick lunch before embarking on our long drive up I95. Asked the proprietor what was good and she said that their buffalo chicken strips were a hot item - so I ordered that. I also wanted a little taste of Maryland so I ordered the shrimp wrap (seasoned with old bay) and my wife ordered a philly cheese steak. I was thrilled with the food. The buffalo chicken strips had a spicy AND sweet taste. It wasn't just the same old buffalo sauce...a little twist that makes it different. The philly cheese steak was delicious. Bread had good bite and held the meat well. The meat tasted fresh and well prepared. The shrimp wrap was perfectly seasoned with the right amount of old bay - not too much and not too little. Definitely worth the stop. I am looking forward to getting the food again when we go back down to Maryland. read more

The presentation was beautiful--colorful, appealing, and the bread stayed firm and crusty. They truly use fresh, high-quality ingredients. Unfortunately, that has changed. Now, hot sandwiches are wrapped in paper and then in foil. This method traps moisture, causing the bread--especially their delicious sourdough--to become soggy instead of crisp. It seems like this change was made to save money, but it really takes away from both the presentation and the quality of the sandwich. For a sandwich that costs $12.95, I would gladly pay a few extra cents for the original packaging if it meant keeping the bread fresh and crusty.

When I pulled up to the drive-thru, the barista asked for my order. I let her know I had a mobile…read moreorder and provided my name. She told me to hold on, then came back after about 90 seconds and said, "Well, you only placed the order two minutes ago, it's not ready yet, but you can pull around." That response was completely unnecessary. A simple, courteous response such as "We're still working on it, please pull around" or "Got it, pull around" would have been much more appropriate. After waiting about 10 minutes in line, I finally reached the window. She handed me the drink, and when I asked to speak to a manager, she rolled her eyes. I explained the situation to the manager, who then claimed there was a "new policy" stating all mobile orders take at least 12 minutes and that the app should reflect that. Suspicious, I contacted Starbucks corporate, who confirmed--as I suspected--that no such policy exists. The manager lied directly to me. No apologize nothing, but a made up "new policy Never visiting this location again!

I used to go there all the time when I worked close by and that was always fantastic. Went back recently after 7 years give or take on an anniversary date and the place was exactly how I remembered it. Great. Lisa and her sister still there being as amazing as they always were. Lisa has the greatest memory of anyone I have ever met and that's something to take note of. The food was delicious. I recommend this place to everyone based purely off every aspect of it. Thank you as always! -Jon read more

For 7 years, I've been with the same company. We moved offices in November 2019, but still within Columbia Gateway. Jae's Deli in my 1st year was walking distance, now would need to drive there. I was a regular when we were in the old office. Staff was always nice. Prices were cheap. Sandwiches and salads were good here. They weren't gourmet, but what do you want for a single digit price for a sandwich in 2019. I checked the old credit card bills in early 2020 prior to Covid, and looks like the last time I went to Jae's was on Monday, March 2, 2020. Unfortunately, that pesky Covid killed me going to Jae's as I go to the office a lot less these days as working from home has been the default even now in 2025. But one of these days when I'm in the office, I should go back to Jae's. Glad to see they are still around.

I friend told me about to so I went yesterday for lunch and I was pleasantly surprised by this little hidden gem. It appears they only serve breakfast and lunch judging by the menu. Staff was very friendly and welcoming. I ordered a chicken salad sandwich lunch special. It came with a bag of chips and a small drink for under 10 bucks. My co-worker ordered and salad that they prepared fresh on the spot. You can even watch them as they slice up the fresh veggies for you. They were very quick so it was not long before our food was ready. We opted to take it back to the office but they do have a few seats inside as well as a patio for outside dining when the weather gets better. They don't have a website or online menu so you have to go in to see what they have. A great find and I will return.

The menu is vast, but mostly limited to sandwiches, burgers, soups and salads. I was unsure what I wanted until I saw a grilled cheese sandwich option. I ordered that plus a chicken pot pie soup. Payment was easy and the food didn't take long to prepare. The only suggestion I have is to inform ppl who order grilled cheese is the default cheese used is American. I hate American cheese and would have been stuck with a sandwich I wouldn't have enjoyed if I'd not asked about cheese and made another selection. The food itself was amazing! I keep thinking about that soup so chances are high I will be back!

For delivery, that's a win for me every time.

They also have daily specials and daily soups. They are a little pricey but the food is always excellent and comes prepared wonderfully wrapped. The only downside is the location. It's located on the broom floor of a building (likely government contractor). You'll have to park in the employee parking lot and walk in and navigate your way to the restaurant. There is no direct door to the restaurant from the outside.

The size of the sandwich is fine as far as normal sandwiches go, but it's small for a cheese steak. There wasn't much meat in there and it was a bit bland. The bites with cheese had the most flavor. I didn't dislike it; it was just okay. The fries were good and fresh. I don't really go for the battered fries, but if you like that batter you'll love these. They were definitely hot and crispy on the outside, soft on the inside. They were really kind. I'd made an order online that they didn't notice, so they started on my sandwich as soon as they realized their mistake. I was waiting less than 10 minutes; there was no one else in the store, so I got all of their attention.
