    Whole catfish, fries, coleslaw, hush puppies

    Always delicious, quick, and staff is so friendly! We did takeout and it was still amazing.

    Pickled Green Tomatoes and Hush Puppies
    Linda B.

    We had lunch for the first time at Catfish Campus in Columbia. They have been around for ages, but for some reason we have never eaten there. The food was absolutely delicious and we had the sweetest lady to wait on us. It's the first time we have ever had pickled green tomatoes...yum! Never heard of them before. We ended up bringing home half of my chicken dinner and a 16 oz. container of the pickled green tomatoes. We will definitely be going back!

    This is worth the drive off the interstate. It's true what others have said. The hush puppies are some of the best anywhere. And they serve them with pickled tomatoes and the combination, I don't know, there's just something really great about it. The sides are fantastic as well. I give my highest recommendations to the green beans and potato salad. The catfish is fresh and comes out hot. The service is probably the best you'll find. I had a refill on my Diet Coke before I even finished half of my first. My server was on it. I'd give the place five stars, but I found the breading on the catfish to lack a tad on the seasoning side. Mixed with the tartar sauce it is quite good, but without I think you'll find it a little bland. But other than that, it's a fantastic restaurant. Definitely stop if you're in and around Columbia.

    My father came into town and instead of our usual stop at Puckett's, we thought we'd switch things…read moreup and take him somewhere he has not been before. My family and I were all beyond satisfied with what we experienced during this visit to Southern Tré. Here'a what stood out during our dining experience: * Our shared Shrimp appetizer was super tasty. * My 6oz sirloin was cooked to a medium, mouthwatering perfection and tenderness. * My father and I both enjoyed the blackBerry mixed beverage. (The name escapes me now but I recommend asking about it) * The southern decor and lighting made for an enjoyable and relaxing ambience. * Our waitress was pleasant, on top of things, and treated our toddler well. * The pricing was surprisingly fair for the quality of meal we received. * Our family mentioned several times (during and after) how great the seasonings and flavors were and how much our expectations were exceeded. In short: If you're near downtown and would like a nice sit down meal or a solid spot for a special occasion; instead of driving to Spring Hill for one of the chain steakhouses, I highly recommend you instead give Southern Tré a shot.

    It's not bad but it's not anything to rave about. I wouldn't be overly upset if someone asked me to…read morego here but I wouldn't just choose to go back. I've been twice and feel the same after both times.

    Yesterday I went to have dinner with my kiddos and decided to sit outside. Unfortunately, it…read morestarted pouring rain right as our food was coming out. Marla immediately checked on us and asked multiple times if we'd rather move inside. She had a smile on her face and told us it was no problem, even though the restaurant was busy. Once we decided to move inside because of the lightning, she ran back out into the pouring rain to bring all of our food. And made sure it was dry and protected. She came back completely soaked but had a smile on her face. Then my boys and I were about to run back out to the car to grab water. She stopped us and insisted on bringing us cups for water instead so I wouldn't have to take my kids back out into the storm. It was such a thoughtful gesture and meant a lot. The food was great and my experience here was amazing. It's clear how hard the staff work to make sure you have a comfortable and great experience. 10/10

Bottom…read moreline the best Italian we've had since moving from Chicago 15 years ago and reminiscent of the days of putting as much pasta on the plate as possible. The "crack sauce" is well named. The seafood was fresh. The focaccia was perfect for mopping up both sauces. We both thought the meatballs were the weakest part of the meal but mostly in comparison to the rest. Just remember it's order and then find a place to sit. We went a little later for lunch. Be sure to check the hours before heading over for lunch especially. We will definitely put them in the rotation.
