After seeing the local Columbia Yelp page share this restaurant we were in the area and decided to…read morestop by. The outside of statics of the restaurant are absolutely adorable and the green door is stunning. The inside of the restaurant was exceptionally clean and decorated beautifully it was a little cold so we decided to sit outside, not sure if the outside dining is used much, but the tables could have been wiped down, but the temperature was perfect so we overlooked that on the patio. Our server was very friendly and informative. I went with the golden hour cup of tea, which has all of the notes of fall and my partner got fresh orange juice, a side of grits and crispy bacon I initially ordered the mushroom toast however they were out of mushrooms, the steak egg and cheese croissant. The sandwich come served on wheat toast, and I was eventually advised that they were out of croissants. However, all of the food was so exceptional that I was able to overlook that. These were probably the best bowl I have ever had. We will definitely be back and this is going to be my go to spot when I want an exceptional bowl of grits.

First time NO COFFEE....waitress laughed and said coffee machine broke. The food was served cold and bland; nothing special. Waitress never came around to see if we needed anything. Finally had to get up and go to counter to ask for assistance. Twice now the waitress either ignored us or was blind to us being there. Second time our food must have sat out waiting to be served and was cold and obviously dried out. Waitress was too busy chatting it up with another table, served three other tables that came in after us, talking on phone all whilst we sat ignored and waited ...watched ....waited ....waited and waited while our food sat waiting to be picked up and brought to our table. Absolutely unacceptable. Waitress needs training.

We were really looking forward to trying Cornbread Cafe--new place, new experience, and all the…read moreexpectations that come with wanting to support a local spot. Unfortunately, this visit just wasn't it. We were greeted and told to sit anywhere, which was fine. A server came by to take our drink order, only to let us know they were out of both drinks we originally wanted. No big deal--we pivoted. But then my sweet tea came with Splenda and no spoon to stir it, and silverware never made an appearance at all. What really sealed it, though, was the service--or lack of it. Another server spent close to 20 minutes chatting with a table about something completely unrelated to the restaurant while we sat there unnoticed. During that time, three separate parties were seated after us and were promptly given menus, silverware, and attentive service. We were never checked on again. After sitting there watching everyone else be taken care of, it became pretty clear we weren't going to be served that day. So we got up and left. I always hate sharing experiences like this because I truly want local businesses to succeed. But service matters just as much as the food, and sadly, this visit missed the mark entirely.

The menu offers a lot of options that all sounded delish! Our waiter was super helpful & helped us with any questions that we had.

When my food came out, the eggs were mostly crusty and brown on both sides. Potatoes had zero seasoning, but you were given two packets of ketchup to add to the flavor. The toast was cold and unbuttered, but you were given two packs of butter, which never melted on the toast. No one ever came around to check on anything or ask how your meal was.

As an out of towner I have been here twice once for dinner on a Friday evening (party of 3) and…read moremost recently on a Sunday for brunch (party of 4). The space is very spacious with ample parking and a pretty good play list from whomever is on the 1's & 2's. Both times food was good, service was slow but our waiters were on point. For Dinner... (Friday 6/21/24 @ 7:30... TY photo meta data). It was a girls night, it was a little busy but we were seated quickly for a Friday. I don't remember our waiters name but it was a gentleman who is still there because I saw him on my most recent visit. We ordered apps of seafood crab dip and buffalo chicken egg-rolls. I sampled both and they were tasty. For entrées there was pasta Alfredo with salmon and broccoli and I order salmon with collards and garlic mash. My sister order a shrimp rice dish with sauce (idr the name). Nonetheless we all enjoyed our food. It took sometime to arrive but it was good and the temps were nice and hot. Now they ran out of several items at the bar, one being Jack Daniels, but our waiter did his best to accommodate. The bathrooms were not in good shape and there were serval staff members not pulling their weight for a smooth service. For Brunch... (Sunday, 7/6/25 @ 12:30) The hostess was rude, inattentive and seated people she knew whom came after the people waiting. While she insisted the entire party needed to be standing inside before being seated. She seated the others she knew staggered in parties of two as they came in. Once seated our server Jordan S. was great and very apologetic for the staff members once again not being productive to provide better service. For example on this visit I order a carafe of mimosa. She had to request it from the bar three different times. As we were seated in a booth across from the bar we watched as everyone was socializing with each other and prioritizing convos with their peeps. Our food came before the carafe of mimosa. Entrées for brunch: were honey chicken and waffles, 2 shrimps n grits one with a side of eggs, and fish n grits with a side of French toast . Everything was well seasoned, I was amazed at how much I enjoyed the grits. When I order grits, usually they require some doctoring up table side. The French toast was also surprisingly extra tasty. Everyone was completely satisfied with our choices and a couple of us were full so we took the rest to-go. Overall the food is good, the service can be tolerable if you get the right server and the music & atmosphere can be a vibe. However on both visits there were things and staff members that hindered the experience. Just A Note: There is an automatic 15% service fee added to the bill, it is a tip. However, I highly recommend if you get a really good server who provides great service despite the circumstance they are up against please tip them extra in CASH if you can.
