    8oz. Ribeye
    Heather H.

    Wonderful dinner with my friend. Kind staff, quick service. One of my favorite places in Columbia.

    Ambiance is dim and comforting. Very nostalgic for those who came here as a kid.

    I've been going to G&D for the last 30 years. As a kid growing up in Columbia, and neighbors of "Mom & Dad", we went here almost every Sunday. We just visited again today and it was just as good as it was when I was 10! I had a Gyro and it was delicious. The baklava was sweet and tasty and the salad was nostalgic. The service was helpful and the ambiance was comforting. This is a family run and owned restaurant. Keep that in mind. If you haven't been to this gem of Midwest, you're missing out.

    One of the parent in my son's hockey club suggested G&D Steakhouse which is along the way going to Kansas for the team's hockey tournament. We played early on a Sunday and so we had time to eat lunch on the way back. The place is just beside Texas Roadhouse, like you pass by TR first before going to G&D, and we love Texas Roadhouse, but still went on going here. And it didn't disappoint.. It's not the usual high end steakhouse but I love the ambiance coming in. You will need to order up front.. it's unusual but I love it.. no need to wait for an available waiter, and their menu is clearly shown on boards on top. It reminds me of the Sugarfire BBQ place (our favorite) in St. Louis.. This being a skeakhouse, it's a no brainer. My wife and I got the 14oz Ribeye and my son got the Sirloin. The steaks come standard with baked potato and house salad. The side salads are on trays, you grab one, then put on croutons and bacon bits, then choose a dressing.. there are 5 choices I think.. I got the thousand islands and it was great! There are several dessert available as well, we grabbed the baklava.. You then choose your table and wait for your food. It came less than 10 minutes which is pretty amazing.. The steak was on the bland side, but I love the tenderness of medium cooked steak. They offer steak sauces and also the OPA Greek rubs that you can add to your steak for more taste. The baked potato is good as well. We enjoyed the food for the price. It's really an experience and would definitely come back if we are around the area.

    Outside

    Fantastic local place that has been around for 40+ years. Looks small on the outside but probably seats 100+ diners. Our order was taken near the front door, we sat down, and our food was served within minutes. No numbers, no raising of our hand, they just found us. It gave me the vibes of a 1970s Western Sizzlin back when Western Sizzlin was in its prime. I feel very sorry for all the people that were at Texas Roadhouse in the same parking lot because they were definitely missing a local experience and probably had to wait an hour for their table.

    This was a very interesting dinner. When you enter you pay for your meal before you sit down. Then you go through a make your own salad bar. After this you sit down and the server brings your food. The food overall is pretty bland but the steak still had a good medium rare cook as I asked for. If I go again I will not get the shrimp. Overall a decent meal definitely worth trying. It is a small restaurant though, my date and I shared the table with another random couple. We got our food within 12 minutes of ordering.

    Fried shrimp

    We came here for a weeknight dinner, and the place was semi crowded. It's a fast casual type where you order at the counter. We had heard pretty good things about the food, and were a bit disappointed. - Ribeye (3.5/5): steak was juicy and well cooked, it was just not very seasoned. Needed to add some salt, which typically don't do at restaurants. Baked potato was just your typical potato with butter which was fine. Toast was okay - Fried shrimp (3.5/5): also average, not bad but just tasted like they were frozen. Fries were basic, not very crispy. Overall, like your typical diner. We just had heard great things and had higher expectations for the food. It was okay overall.

I got two legendary margaritas and catfish with two servings of fries. My husband had the 12oz steak and shrimp with chillie and green beans. Our 9mo had some mashed potatoes and while he wasn't crazy about them still occasionally wanted more. She was quick and eager to answer all our questions and the food came out fairly quick for a busy Friday evening. Her service is worth a great tip and we will absolutely be seated in her section if we get the chance. Thank you Lexi!

He loved going for his bday to sit on the saddle and have everyone sing and watch the waitresses dance. These days, I don't think the waitresses dance anymore, which is a bummer... but we still love coming here. My son and I went on two separate occasions since moving to Columbia. The first time we went, he ordered a Bacon Cheeseburger and I got a Loaded Baked Potato, Chili & mixed Veggies. The second time, I ordered a Ribeye with mushrooms, and Mac n Cheese. My son ordered Prime Rib with Mac n Cheese and we shared a cactus blossom. Our server was awesome, he was so attentive and kept the dinner rolls flowing! A manager stopped by to make sure everything went good for the night, which was super nice. Honestly, Texas roadhouse is at the top of my list of favorite restaurants, and I'm so glad Columbia has this location. We honestly can't wait to go back.

Things started out well, the BF had a tasty Manhattan and I had a mocktail that was subtle and delicious, and not overpriced as mocktails often are. But alas. The house salads that we ordered were overdressed in a vinaigrette so acidic we couldn't finish them. And there wasn't much to them. Other than greens and fried shallots and pickled red onions, there was a tiny dusting of some finely grated cheese. And who needs two kinds of onions and nothing else on the salad? Then we each had a bowl of the matzo ball soup, which was ridiculous. Three matzo balls sitting in a quarter-inch of broth that was so unbelievably salty that we couldn't eat that either. We ended up asking for hot water to dilute the broth to a level of saltiness that was edible. The chicken was okay and the matzo balls were okay. A little gummy. But the broth was just awful. It all made me wonder if the chef had lost their sense of taste due to Covid or something. Seriously. I've had that happen to me a couple of times and all I could taste was really basic stuff like sour and salt. And our waitress was totally uninterested in trying to make our experience better. She wasn't rude, she was just indifferent to the fact that we'd been served two courses that we absolutely couldn't eat. Didn't offer us anything to compensate or even express any sympathy about it. We got out of there as fast as we could and made ourselves feel better with an Andy's frozen custard.
