Hamburger steak, Mac and cheese, fried okra, blackeye peas.  Mac and cheese tasted like my grandma's

Please don't overlook this place. Comfort food at its finest!! See y'all EVERY time I come to Columbia!!

Front of building on 321. It feels very homey inside.

It's a great little place on 321 in Cayce. Great good and very reasonable. The staff is terrific and very attentive. Coffee is good first thing in the morning. Biscuits and gravy are excellent with breakfast when I am not getting the Gamecock Special.

George's Southside Restaurant on Charleston Highway in Cayce is a great place to go for real food that is well made and delicious. I have enjoyed everything here each time I have been here and have been impressed. The staff here is very friendly and accommodating to make sure that you have everything that you need.

Breakfast

This is a little gem right off of Highway 321 in SC. It sits nestled next to a little farmers market. We stopped in for some breakfast and boy did we ever get the most amazing home cooked breakfast I've had in a very long time. The food was cooked to order, they gave you a mound of bacon and the portions are all very large and generous. They serve breakfast, lunch and dinner. It may be a small restaurant, but the quality of the food and the friendliness of the staff is outstanding. It's like stepping back in time where everyone knew everyone and if they didn't, they treat you like they do. This is a great spot for families, individual and couples. It has some outside seating as well. Booth and bar seating. Absolutely a place I will be a repeat customer. 5 star for certain. All home cooked like grandmas kitchen.

Another successful shot in the dark. While trying to make it home to Michigan from New Orleans I happened on George's Southside. Truthfully, I was aiMing for a different place, but when I saw this joint I knew I needed to make a u-turn. If all the Denny's and Wendy's and the rest of the chain places closed, it would be worth a world of 3-1/2 star places like George's. I arrived mid morning on a Saturday and the spot was hoppin'! The server got my drink order right away, and, as I wasn't super starved, I opted for the country style steak biscuit. I added grits to the order as well. The biscuit was tender and fresh, and the fried steak was covered with brown gravy. Flavor was fine, not too salty, even if the steak was just warm(?). The girl kept the coffee filled, and checked on me regularly, making sure I was good. Now, when I come in a place like this I don't expect, nor do I hope for, a Michelin three-star experience. I just hope for retro decor, warm, friendly service, plentiful coffee refills with real dairy cream (not powdered glycerides), and a house or regional specialty or two. George's has all of these. So, even though the steak was a little cool, I'm still giving 4 stars. This is a place to stop if you love Guy Fieri's "Drive-Ins, Diners, and Dives." This IS real America. Skip the McWhoppers, and head over to George's. You'll be glad you did!!

Overpriced and horrible. I have never seen French toast so thin and undercooked.

Best hashbrowns in town, hands down. Very thinly sliced, cooked just right. Omelets are good, too.

It was our first time at Gregory's since the remodel, and we can't recommend it highly enough!…read more We started with the smoked salmon dip and toast points, which was delicious. It reminded me of a bagel with lox in NYC! For dinner, we selected the fish and chips and the ratatouille. The haddock was huge and fried perfectly. The ratatouille looked like something straight out of the Disney movie of the same name and tasted like someone's grandma made it with love. It paired nicely with my glass of Pinot noir. The server was so sweet and very knowledgeable about the menu offerings. We had a wonderful evening and can't wait to return soon!

Okay guys honestly I only gave it 3 stars bc the service and the ambiance were super nice! However,…read morethe food and drinks were very disappointing. I really wanted to like this place to be great, seeing as how it's right at our back door. But the drinks were blah.....and the food was bland. We ordered the chefs special sausage & shrimp ettoufee and the grilled pork chops .....wanted ribs, but they were out.....the ettoufee had a little spice to it had but no real flavor. And the pork chops were overcooked. We also had the fried green tomatoes and the chef salad for appetizers. They were okay. But because it's soo close to home and we really want them to be successful, my husband and I agreed we'd give it one more try for brunch or lunch before counting them out. But some serious tweaks need to be made.

California Dreaming was an OK spot for upscale dining. I didn't have a special event that I went…read morehere for, but just wanted to try something new. I'd say that it was slightly above average. They had a decent selection of beers on tap, and my friend definitely liked their selection of wines. I got some of the croissants as an appetizer, which were good, but a little expensive for what you were actually getting. I got the chicken tenders and fries to eat, which were solid, but nothing otherworldly. I do think my guest liked her meal, although I'm not completely sure what it's called. As for the service and ambiance, California Dreaming is definitely the darkest restaurant I've ever been to, which I guess is either a pro or a con based on personal opinion. I presume that it would be a good spot for a date night, but maybe not the best spot for casual dining (which is obviously the point of a restaurant like California Dreaming). Our server was nice, relatively attentive, and I'd say that he did a good job overall. All-in-all, I debated giving the restaurant either three (3) or four (4) stars, but I ultimately went with four (4). It was a unique experience, but I won't necessarily be rushing back. I think that has as much to do with personal taste than anything that they did wrong or right, however.

Always a great vibe at California Dreaming in Columbia. We visit all the time as my wife and my…read moremother in love are USC alumni and my daughter is destined to be a Gamecock. So quick bites and campus tours are always good. Started off with expresso martins, honey butter croissants and seafood nachos. All were good and the nachos are a staple. Both wife and mom missed the heart of palms salmon salad that was offered for years along with some other menus changes. We settled on the she crab soup and house salads with extra dressing along with the full rack of ribs. Again everything good but we miss the old menu or the one similar to the dinner menu in Charleston. The waitress was very attentive and apologetic as we had a party of 10 and not able to sit together but in the same area. Overall good vibe and food as always.
