The food and service was amazing! I love that I can choose add ins for my pancakes...it's nothing like pecans and maple syrup on stacks! The pancakes were slightly gritty (like corn mealish) but still delicious. The waffle was a smooth buttery batter. The bacon was perfect and the potatoes crispy just like I like em. The prices are super reasonable and the service was kind and on point. I'll be back for sure! read more

First time at Le Peep & it will not be our last. I enjoyed the shrimp & grits (8/10, I like my grits a little thicker & the flavors were good but different from shrimp & grits that I have had in the past. My partner enjoyed the salmon benedict (9/10), it was full of flavor and the egg on top was cooked to perfection. The side of fruit was refreshing and paired nicely with the meal. The menu offers a lot of options that all sounded delish! Our waiter was super helpful & helped us with any questions that we had. The restaurant was clean both inside and outside and provided a good amount of seating! read more

Food is terrible, restaurant could be cleaner . Highly NOT recommend this place. It's a shame as great location

The service was wanky and the food took a while to prepare. Bathroom was disgusting and the environment felt off. Christina R. Was my server and I didn't enjoy her company and she kept messing our orders up and she was very disrespectful and caught an attitude towards me when i asked for my actual order when she was the one who misunderstood in the first place. read more

Le Peep Sandhills - The atmosphere and the tables - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Columbia, South Carolina

When we entered, the hostess was not very welcoming. She just looked at us said "3?" And then walked away for us to follow her. The only reason they are getting 2 stars is because our server was wonderful. And we had good coffee before receiving our mediocre food. The food had very little seasoning, my biscuits and gravy meal was cold, the biscuits were hard and dry, potatoes were just plain fried potatoes with no seasoning, the gravy was gooey, cold, and flavorless and the eggs for my meal didn't come out as ordered. My husband didn't mind the flavor of his omelette however it was also cold, the grits were flavorless. The only okay thing about the food were the pancakes my son ate. I ended up not even eating my meal because it was honestly just gross. I finished the pancake my son didn't eat and ended up getting food elsewhere afterwards. The $50 we paid for breakfast was 100% not worth it! read more

We come in every Sunday. Are they a little slow? at times. The waitstaff are great at least the ones we have. This is our family time so we don't mind how long it takes to get our food. This isn't fast food - real food takes time to prepare. Take your time enjoy. read more

The brunch at Le Peep was so much fun! I was shocked they had mimosas, let alone a mimosa pitcher! On top of that..... LOOK AT THE SIZE OF THAT BREAKFAST BURRITO!!! It was so freaking good! read more

My boys and I ate Mother's Day brunch here. We expected it to be crowded, but was hoping they would have a wait-list. I was disappointed when I tried calling for two days and never had my calls answered. The phone just rang and rang until it eventually hung up. I was only calling to see if they were by chance taking reservations which I knew was a very slim chance or if they had a wait list or whatever. When we arrived, we were told we had an hour and a half wait. We asked if they could take our number since their wasn't anywhere to wait inside and it was cold and windy outside. They said they could only call our names within earshot and if we didn't respond or left and came back and our name had been called, they would put us next on the list. Interesting Once we were seated, we were served by a very sweet young lady who was very helpful and kind. It was quite awhile before we received our food, but we were patient because we understand how demanding it can be at restaurants at this time. The place is clean, but kind of boring with decor. The bar seating area, food only was large and roomy. The bathrooms were clean and seating area was average. One thing I noted that should be addressed are the waitresses on their phones while on the clock. This is a typical trend among our teens today which I hope can one day go away. It was easy to see from my angle that they were to keep their phones, I guess tucked behind the bar area, but that is also where they were prepping things such as silverware, syrup, water, coffee, etc. So, they would grab your phones real quick, text or whatever and then hurriedly push it back under the little counter area, but I could plainly see several of them on their phones. The food came out about 40 minutes later. Again, this was understandable, but you can imagine how hungry we were after all this time. I ordered the Harvest Benedict with a side of dollar pancakes and grits. My meal was good, but really could have used more veggies. It was well prepared and served warm. Our waitress, checked on us and all her tables very frequently and refilled drinks and answered questions of her guests very pleasantly and calmly. Through small talk, I was informed that she would be graduating from high school in a month and attending Clemson University. I wish there will and told her how much we appreciate it her service today. She saved the day for many in my eyes and deserved a great tip from everyone, which we definitely gave. read more

We had a late breakfast. My nieces loved the Oreo pancakes!! A true win. I loved my chicken and waffles. I'll admit the last time o tried it; I wasn't impressed. They nailed the chicken this time. I tried a latte, and it was perfect. The server was exceptional, and it was a wonderful experience. read more

Worst service ever. Manager is super rude and argumentative. I would never come back here. It sucks that people in the summit are forced here because it's location but the service is complete crap. Maybe if I was white I would have had better service. On top of having to wait an hour for a booth. I waited 20 minutes for water. 30 minutes for my breakfast and the pancakes were dry as an Amazon box. Missing items. We'll stick to eggs up grill. Brian the manager should be fired . read more

I tried to stay positive but this was really not a great experience. I will not be back. The girls at the hostess stand were gossipy, mildly rude, and seemed more excited to talk to each other than to assist the customers. I was seated quickly for a saturday brunch but it took a while for someone to come get my drink order. The restaurant interior is okay but everything had that older outdated semi grimy feal that just should not belong is a cute little french breakfast restaurant. I think I was expecting a much more appealing interior and more comfortable seating. This place did not care about how you felt eating there. Then..the food. Gross. I ordered a spinach turkey avocado sandwich item, if you could call it that. The spinach was wet and from frozen so it soaked the entire bottom piece of bread. My friends breakfast was better -- she got the monte cristo crepes and was happy. They looked much better than my entree so I would point you in that direction. It took a long time to get our food, probably 45-60 mns. Then we tried to check out and it was a hassle with tickets and trying to pay at the hostess stand while they were running around seating new people. I saw our server roll her eyes repeated about other tables and customers when they couldn't see her but our table could. It was really obvious that she was not loving her job and did not really like anyone so that was not great. It was just very chaotic and seemed unorganized. I won't be back. There were not nearly enough pros to make a second trip back worth it. I hope you have better luck here. read more

We just had a breakfast at Le Peep Sunday morning. I had classic egg Benedict with one mimosa, and my husband had shrimp with grits. The service is good. Not too much, not too little but just perfect. After the pandemic, the price increased a little. read more

The menu looked so good, we drove an hour to try this place. The ooey gooey cinnamon bun looked and tasted like a store bought processed honey bun with extra sugar poured over it. The grits were like rice crisps in cold butter milk. Our server forgot the syrup 5 times, we eventually shared with the table next to us. When trying to pay we had to go find the manager to get a check because she had disappeared. Won't be going back here. read more

Good food and service is pretty good unless they are really busy as they seem to still be shorthanded. It was a good experience still and the food is still good. The restaurant had multiple dirt tables leading to slower seating and again giving credit to reduced staff. It's still worth going to. read more

Really great breakfast spot. I loved the Mini Denver, which was my go-to when I was in the area. It's plenty of food! Sometimes the potatoes were a bit overcooked though so just ensure you preference them if you order. If you're getting to-go, please ensure you ask for condiments and plasticware. Beautiful environment if you eat in as well. Overall, I will visit if I'm ever in the area again. read more

Food was delicious, atmosphere was nice, and I definitely recommend this place. I would've given it 5 stars, but they doubled my bill when checking out. If I hadn't caught it I would've paid double. So pay attention to your bill. Other than that hopefully everyone enjoys their food. read more

Have been going here many years. The owners have always prided themselves on quality staff and food.

Celebrated my friend's bday yesterday with a day in Columbia. Started with Le Peep for brunch. Our server was Vince. He is a gem. Once we were sat, there was a bit of a wait, he greeted us and was able to answer a few questions. The menu says Mimosa Linter. It really means Liter. We ordered. We sipped. And we ate. The space is huge and seems to be efficient. We'll be back next time we are in town. read more

Le Peep....I really want to like you "5" stars worth. They are good, but not great! First, they are a little expensive. Now, I don't mind paying more. However, I expect greatness for my money. I want it to be hot and fresh. Lukewarm is just not acceptable. The staff at the register or seating you has always been nice, but a few of their wait staff takes the "wait" part literally. I got up to find my waitress because she told me that she would bring something back and never did. I hate asking other waiters, adding more to their plates. I mean, I have been here about 3 times now and it can be hit or miss. I may try them again....I may not! read more

The food was good, service was friendly with plenty of parking a bit noisy at times. Prices are very good.

It was beyond amazing told 20 min wait and we were in there less than 10 mins we were seated our server Josh was very help on what to try and outstanding service I would definitely recommend this when you want a local eatery to try definitely overlooked and great for the price came to be 38$ and we got our moneys worth !!! read more

Presentation is everything. Just twice I've been back, let's face it, their breakfasts are best in this area. Lately, I order the herbal tea, it comes out on a plate, cup on top of a dolly, two tea bags on the side, separate containers of honey and lemon slices. Today, nothing of the sort. The waitress, apologized because she didn't find dollies. What about the rest? When I remarked, she said, oh would you like a plate? After you've dropped everything on the table, with no cup, needing to grab a cup? No, thank you. The food was good. The receipt normally is placed on the table. This one looked like it was scrunched up. I will be back, I just hope that next time, it will be back to wonderful welcoming tea presentation. read more

I have come to Le Peep several times because it's close to home and my girls love their Funny Face pancake. The servers are all wonderful, always friendly. It's a shame that the kitchen and management seem to set them up for failure. They are always understaffed, it seems, for a restaurant with so many tables. I experienced a 30 minute ticket time for a salad and a pancake and when it came to table the salad was missing ingredients. Our very nice server ran back to get the two missing items (avocado and croutons) and the croutons came to the table stale and mushy with no crunch. My first two visits I ordered Benedicts. Both times the hollandaise was horribly split which is a shame because everything else about it was perfectly prepared. I love the staff and I want to love the food but shortcuts in the kitchen are messing up otherwise awesome dishes. And I'd love to see the staff be supported by have the appropriate number of servers for a packed Saturday brunch hour. read more

Honestly, my last visit to this location was my last visit forever. I don't like leaving bad reviews. However, I'm only going to give this rating a 2 and that's strictly because the greeter was so freaking sweet! To start, everything I tried to order, they didn't have. The fryer was down, no salad, no soup.. truly I should've got up and walked out. The sandwich I chose was OK, but it was just thrown together. It looked like someone in the kitchen was just fed up and threw it on a plate. Unfortunately, the service too, was terrible. We waited for someone to come and get our drink order for over 10 minutes. And then didn't get anything for about 10 minutes after that. The tables were left untouched after other people left, making it look dirty in there. It was like a ripple effect. One thing after another just kept on happening. Until we were leaving and the greeter was so sweet. I wish this could've been a different experience... read more

This was my first visit to Le Peep, because on the weekends it seems to be super busy. We went on a Tuesday afternoon around 1pm. We didn't have to wait. However, it did seem like we had to wait awhile for somebody to wait on us. The staff was friendly. The food was just okay. Maybe I should have got a breakfast item. I got the California Turkey sandwich. My son got the happy face pancake. He didn't really like it. It was very flakey and not much on the inside. The restaurant itself is very nice. It's super cute and clean. I would love to give this place another try. read more

Le Peep Sandhills - Happy Face Kids Pancake - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Columbia, South Carolina

Arrived on a Saturday afternoon for brunch. Immediately upon entering it was a decent size crowd. The floor was sticky. Met my party and began to order. The waitress was extremely courteous and helpful. She provided recommendations and informed us of some items that are available but not on the menu. I ordered the 18-wheeler meal. This came with French toast choice of eggs and I got hash browns. My order came and after eating some, my eggs were cold and I noticed a hair in my food. The waitress was notified. She immediately apologized and took my food to replace it. When she returned the food was freshly made and hot. I had high hopes for this restaurant because it came recommended. I would say overall this restaurant was decent minus the hair of course. I'm willing to give this restaurant another chance. read more

Le Peep Sandhills - 18 Wheeler Meal - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Columbia, South Carolina

The staff is friendly, prompt & kind. The food was absolutely delicious. We ordered the shrimp & grits, breakfast burrito, Apple Brie French toast, stuffed French toast & banana walnut pancakes. The shrimp & grits were the BEST we have EVER tried. They were yellow stone ground corn grits, had great texture, the gravy was so good and the shrimp were cooked to perfection. The breakfast burrito was perfect! It was a large portion and my husband ate every last bite! The apple Brie French toast, was indescribably delicious. It was literally one of the best things I've ever put in my mouth. If you like apples and brie? Do yourself a favor and just order it. The stuffed French toast was so amazing there was no syrup needed. The custard it was stuffed with was creamy and delicious. The fresh strawberries it was topped with added a burst of freshness to the dish. The banana walnut pancakes were hearty and delicious. They were a huge portion and as you can see in the photo they did not skimp on walnuts and bananas. They were so good, definitely will be ordering them again! In conclusion, Le Peep is an amazing restaurant, has delicious food, is a great asset to the neighborhood & the staff an owner are polite. You should definitely stop by & give it a try, you won't be disappointed! read more

The wait on Sundays are a little long but worth it. The food is always fresh and delicious. 10/10 recommend

It started with a horrible Bloody Mary served in a flute glass. The drink was served warm, with no condiments. Then, the wait for food became way too long. My wife did finally get her French Toast, and it was fun watching her eat it while I waited for my Desperado. Once The Desperado arrived, it was delicious, which is why the rating went from two to three stars. The waiter promptly replaced the cocktail with another drink. read more

Unfortunately today's visit was the last. The quality of food was pretty bad, the eggs seemed like they were microwaved, and our silverware was dirty. The potato's were hard and cold. We never even got to notify the server of this because she did not check on us once. She only checked on us once we were ready to go. read more

Came here yesterday with my homie for brunch & left with a FULL stomach. I've eaten here maybe 4 times so I'm gonna run down my faves so far. Sir Benedict Omelet add Belgian Waffle - a filling plate of eggs that uses hollandaise sauce & some other creamy texture to break up the typical omelette experience. It comes with a side of potatoes to help stuff you up too. Definitely worth a try. The LumberJack Breakfast - is a plate of everything really. Bacon eggs, sausage & pancakes. This is your go to for going to sleep immediately after. I can't remember the rest but the build your own omelette plus these two equal a good time. Sorry I missed out on snapping the pics but trust me. Its good. read more

We have visited and loved LePeep for a long time. When the management changed over a year ago, the quality of the food and customer service plummeted. During our last visit, the food was lukewarm or cool. Our favorite side dish, grits, has become a cold serving of mush. The waitresses expressed their own concerns with the issues in the kitchen: lack of attention to detail and few people for making food. When made correctly, the farmers Benedict is an excellent meal! The sausage gravy and biscuits would make any southerner proud. read more

Le Peep is that friend that you're rooting for that can't get it right. I recommend if you just need a breakfast spot near by to stop at. But, the last time I tried to dine in, the wait for 45 minutes because there was only two waiters working. I get it, middle of a pandemic but this isn't a good look for your business. The food is decent and again good for a quick convenient breakfast (that's if there's no wait). read more

Yummy, yummy, yummy My kids really like the Jr Chipper pancakes. They normally come with chocolate chips insider the pancakes and on top with powdered sugar and butter. My kids don't like anything on the top of their cakes, they just want to pick them up and eat, so we make sure to tell the wait staff and they get them perfect. Note for parents: the kids pancakes are huge. If you have hungry kids then they may finish them, but my two only ate one pancake each. I had the stuffed French toast this morning. They were good. I didn't need any syrup or anything else on them which was really nice. I did order a side of bacon extra crispy that didn't come out crispy at all. There were other patrons sending food back left and right. The waitress seemed kinda new and overwhelmed. We was trying to make everyone happy, but kept forgetting things. I asked for extra napkins 3 times. Overall the food was good and the service was good. read more
