Go to the window and place your order from the menu that changes daily. It's kind of like a meat-and-three where you choose your entree and side dishes from a short menu. We haven't had anything from here that was bad, but the standouts include the chicken and dumplings, whiting fish, and oxtail. Fried items are fried fresh; they don't sit in a steam table abdcget mushy. The sides are made from scratch and don't forget the strawberry cake for dessert! Prices are affordable and carryout is an option. Check Facebook for their daily menu. We used to live in Columbia but we moved away over a year ago. We came back for our first visit and Omega's was our first priority for lunch. We're here for just a couple more days and we may very well go back.

We found out from a local that this location is an up and coming arts district. Across the street is more seating. The market inside is very small and quaint. The young lady at the counter was very polite and helpful. My husband and I ordered sandwich's; he got the muffuletta (did not get a picture, but he said it was very good), and I got the Country Fire (pictured). I knew as soon as I saw "chicken cutlet" and mozzarella, this sandwich was for me. It was very toasty, cheesy, and flavorful. The bomba gave it an extra kick. They have MANY desserts. Tiramisu is my absolute favorite dessert. It was light with a ton of espresso which I loved. The little chocolate was a nice little touch. My husband got the crème brûlée cheesecake with raspberries on top (he ate it before I got a picture). He said it was very creamy.and delicious. Would love to stop and eat here again!

Not a huge selection but everything looked great. I also saw coffee on the menu.

When we arrived, we were warmly greeted. Inside is clean with 4 tables for sitting inside to eat. The restaurant is small and cutely decorated. The display cases with meats, cheeses and different salads and condiments looked great. The deli meats for the subs is sliced very thin. We started with lasagna and garlic bread that Dave and I shared. The filling had beef and Italian sausage and it was delicious. The cheese pull was good and not too much. The red sauce was very good. 5/5 We ordered foods to go after eating the lasagna in store. I failed to take a picture of the lasagna. Suffice it to say it was inhaled quickly. We tried the eggplant panini in store too. Everything else was to go. I ordered a Bruno Sub and asked for roasted red peppers to be added. Honestly I couldn't taste the roasted red peppers as there weren't very many added. There was a thin slice of 1 onion ring on the sub so I couldn't taste any onion at all. For me that's a fail as I like to taste ingredients. 4/5 The eggplant panini came with a side of marinara. I have had eggplant panini's before and was anticipating this one. When I saw it, I was very disappointed. There were 2 very thin slices of eggplant inside a sub roll that had been put in a panini press or under bricks to smash the bread down. The only taste was bread. Marinara was good but couldn't rescue the panini. 1/5 We bought 1 arancini and it came with marinara. I heated it up along with the marinara. One bite in and I was sold. I would definitely go back and order arancini again. The meat inside was flavored well and the marinara made everything come together well. 5/5 We ordered a pastrami. For us there was way too much fat and we couldn't remove the fat like we can in a Jewish deli because this meat was sliced paper thin. 3/5 The potato salad was lacking in flavor to me. There was a significant amount of mayo in my opinion. Dave liked it. 3/5 The marinated artichokes were delicious and so were the white bean salad. 5/5 Dave ordered a Super Sub. It had 4 meats plus lettuce, tomato, and cheese. There was a tiny sliver of onion but we couldn't taste it. He loved his sub. 5/5 The two cannoli's were delicious. I favored the vanilla and Dave favored the chocolate. 5/5 We will return as the food was good. If you are missing an Italian Deli taste, please stop by. This place makes everything from scratch. It was worth the trip.

There was an annoying fly inside while we were ordering so that wasn't very appetizing. Everyone was friendly, and we were in a hurry so I didn't pay attention to much else. If I had time I would have checked the cleanliness of the place better. I did see that the bbq was being kept covered and seemed to be held at the proper temperature. It's probably a great place to grab a sandwich for lunch. We appreciate them doing all the hard work. It's definitely too hot to do our own.
