Great restaurant with friendly and courteous service. I had the Tuna melt which was outstanding. I've had their cobbler here before and it's always good. Fun atmosphere and great crowd. I'll be back. Great job by Betty and Gloria read more

Amazing Food-nice quiet corner on Market Square in Columbia... don't let the "small" entrance fool you! Generous portions, BEST croutons around, tasty homemade dressings. Delicious chicken salad and stacked high to here! And the desserts look yummy, but too full to even try one! Try it - you won't be sorry! Great find after visiting Polk Museum! The gardens are Amazing and BEAUTIFUL! read more

I met a friend here for lunch today, the first time for both of us. The service was wonderful and the food was good too. I had salad and sandwich & she had soup and salad. I loved the garden salad with the delicious strawberry salad dressing and the chicken salad sandwich was pretty good too. It was busy, which is always a good sign. Very cute lunch spot. We'll definitely be back. read more

Had a great experience tonight with my family! We got some penne and Alfredo pastas as well as soup & sandwiches. It was all very good and for a group of 7 all getting entrees the price was around 100 dollars. Our server was very sweet and attentive all around it was a great meal. Will definitely come again ! read more

Great service, great food, never get tired of their soups and they have a great dessert counter.

We were going to swing by for a few chocolate truffles/desserts to go from the front case. We pulled up around 3:15, and the hostess was moving in the A-frame, flipping the sign to closed, and locking the door. The website and door said they did not close for another 45 minutes. We went next door to Muletown Coffee for light munchies instead. read more

Service excellent. Food outstanding as always. Chicken salad is amazing but so was everyone's meal. We ali had a different dish.

We were in Columbia for our anniversary and ate lunch at Square Market and Cafe and it was great! I had the Tennessee Hot Brown and my wife had the Reuben and it exceeded expectations! Would definitely recommend them! Our server was prompt and attentive, too. read more

My friend and I ate lunch at the Square Market & Cafe. It was a Thursday around noon, and there wasn't a wait, which is nice. They have a spacious restaurant inside, as well as a few tables outside. We snagged the last available table outside because it was a beautiful day! I ordered the BLT with crispy bacon & regular mayonnaise. It was delicious and just how I like it! When I ask for crispy bacon at other places, it doesn't always come out right. My friend got a club that looked really good, too! We both got waters at first, but didn't love the taste. So I ordered lemonade next and enjoyed it. The prices were average. The menu is pretty large too. They have soups, sandwiches, and salads, but they also have entrees and pasta dishes. read more

Service was excellent and food was even better (if that's possible). I had the Blackened Salmon sandwich and my wife had the chicken quesadilla. Less than 15 for our food to arrive at table. The place was very clean. The price was pretty reasonable compared to what it costs you to eat out these days. We had in-house fruit tea with our meal. It was top of the line too!. Highly recommended and we will certainly be going back soon! PS I don't understand some of the 4-star reviews here. They say everything was great, don't provide any feedback as to why they didn't give a 5-star rating. Makes no sense. read more

The food was sub par at best, wilted lettuce etc.. the ambience was cute, the service was fair. I wouldn't eat here again.

Tasty! Great service, delicious sandwiches, and good local spot. I would definitely recommend eating here! read more

I should have trusted my instincts when I walked in the door. I should have turned around and left. The stunned looks on the faces of the staff was my first warning. "Uh oh! People" The tired furniture and ambience was my second warning. But the food... oh the food! Cheese sauces straight out of a can, drenching the plates. Well-meaning servers could not salvage this experience. Absolutely terrible. Avoid. read more

Such a cute little cafe on the square! I came for lunch with a friend one day. There wasn't a wait and it was a pretty day, so we sat outside! Our server was so kind. We originally both got waters, but it tasted a little funny so she brought us different drinks. I ordered the Square Market Club Panini. It was HUGE! And delicious. It came with chips and a pickle. Prices were average and their menu is massive! There are so many options! read more

Stopped for lunch while visiting Columbia. So glad we did! The food was delicious! Chicken Queso Soup was outstanding. The best we've ever had. Lots of chicken. Smooth and creamy. Not spicy. Turkey Panini was also outstanding. Stop here! All the food being delivered around us looked great too. Big portions. Great service. Nice atmosphere. Nice dessert menu although we didn't try anything I bet it would be great. read more

First time in Columbia and this was our first restaurant for lunch. It was amazing. First off we were greeted immediately and taken to our table. The server was also quick to greet us getting our drink orders. I ordered a soup and sandwich combo getting Lobster Bisque and a Reuben. The Bisque was amazing as I thought I was eating it in a beach town. Lobster seemed very fresh and the flavors were spot on. I loved it! The Reuben was a classic Reuben done right. Corned beef was high quality and seasoned well. All the flavors and the Russian dressing was a perfect complement to the meat and other flavors. I would definitely order again! Top notch food and service. I highly recommend! read more

The staff are friendly and efficient. The service is fast. The food is excellent! The portions are abundant and the prices are fairly reasonable. The tomato artichoke soup, BLT, Hot Brown, Tuna Melt, and Brownie are all delicious. Highly recommend! read more

My wife and I found this place hidden in a corner on the square in Columbia, TN. We walked in and were met by friendly staff who gave us a table immediately. The place was small, but very unique. We both ordered the soup and sandwich combo. The tomato artichoke soup was amazing! The sandwiches were very good as well. We have found a new favorite place to eat and afterwards we walked around the square visiting some of the shops. We highly recommend coming here, just get there early. The carrot cake was just right to finish the meal! read more

Solid lunch option. We had the strawberry salad and a combo of chicken salad and crab bisque, both were delicious. The kids pasta and kids cheese pizza were nothing to write home about but my girls ate it, so it works. The dessert looked and sounded good but we went down the Pie Sensations. read more

Today was my first visit to Square Market in Columbia and I have to say it was amazing all the way around! Beautiful ambiance, wonderful menu, fabulous truffles, and great service! I had the portabella panini and asked if they would add the fried eggplant to it and they did! It was fabulous! I also ordered a dozen truffles to give to one of my doctors offices and they oohed and aahed over them I will definitely be back to try more delicacies at this wonderful spot in Columbia. I have to admit, I was pleasantly surprised by the quality, the taste, and the service of everything I ordered here! YUM!!! read more

This is becoming one of my favorite restaurants! I love the Tomato & Artichoke Bisque. I also really like their Grilled Cheese sandwich as well. Today I tried the Cracked Egg Omelette and it is very good! read more

What a great find. Great location, friendly staff, excellent service and phenomenal food. With my Mom visiting from Oklahoma I wanted to treat her to local places. We had the soup of the day - chicken queso - for starters. It was delicious. I tried the Tennessee Hot Brown - a nice variation of the famous Louisville Hot Brown. It has turkey, ham, and bacon over Texas toast covered with melted cheese and House Alfredo sauce. 5 stars. Mom had the Soup and 1/2 Sandwich combo (Reuben) and loved it. 5 stars. Both meals were too much to add dessert at the time so we ordered Key Lime Pie to go. 5 stars. This place is on the historical town square across from the courthouse. You will not regret stopping here while visiting Columbia. read more

Really enjoyed the down home feel. Enjoyed the signature dish. Indulged on the chocolate pecan pie. Brought back good memories.

What a delightful cafe. We had a group of 8 which was accommodated without any problems. The food was the best per everyone around the table. I personally enjoyed the tomato artichoke soup. Service was impeccable. read more

Great food, atmosphere, and value in the heart of Columbia. I had the smoked turkey panini and my wife had the granberry chicken salad. Both very good! read more

I don't live in Columbia so I can't compare to other places in the area, but for a convenient place to bring my dad, sister and a baby for lunch, this was perfect. It was small but not too small that we felt awkward having a baby there. There were high chairs and the option of sitting inside or outside, so this was great to accommodate our group! Service: our server was awesome! Super knowledgeable and helped me order since I was torn between several of the paninis. She was very attentive, friendly and accommodating (should have got her name to give her a shout out!) We ended up with two cups of the chicken queso soup de jour. This was excellent. Per server's rec, I ordered grilled turkey Panini. Very interesting and tasty. It had almonds and chutney which I would never put on a sandwich, but a great combo! And you can't go wrong with thick focaccia bread. I'm glad I tried it but will order the potabello or po boy next time. Sandwiches served with kettle chips and dill pickle. Sister got Club Panini - it was great as well but nothing out of the ordinary. Dad got salmon Panini with the option of white or dark bread. If you like fish and want to feel healthy ordering a sandwich, I recommend this one :) I couldn't help ordering the Jack Daniels chocolate pecan pie. I planned to take it to go but my server convinced me to try it first since she planned to drizzle hot fudge on top and with whipped cream. Needless to say, I didn't utilize my to go box. It wasn't a thick pie with lots of pecan filling, but it was delicious. Since this menu was fairly extensive, I'll try some other things next time but if they are serving the chicken queso soup, I will have to re-order it. read more

We stumbled upon this place by accident and just in time! We walked in at lunch on a Saturday and took one of the last tables. The cafe was clean and staffed adequately. Our food came out in a reasonable amount of time. The food was hot and good. If I happened to be in the area again I'd stop in. It's a nice little place. read more

The rumors are true this cafe was delish. A very charming place that has a very unique menu. Perusing the menu I couldn't figure out what I wanted and bam my eye catches "apple chutney". I continued reading and I had to get the grilled turkey panini. Let me tell you that was the best focaccia bread I've ever had. Light weight and so very delicate and managed this panini very well. Between the apple chutney and then the caramelized onions it gave the sandwich a bit of sweetness but not overwhelming. The basil pesto mayo combined with the Smoked Gouda cheese smothered the juicy turkey and warmed my heart. Hubby raved about the Alfredo sauce on his Tennessee Hot Brown. And who can resist Texas Toast. Their menu is filled with many amazing combinations and some classics and so worth a look at. Can't wait to go back and indulge some more. May I add the service was great too! read more

This is the hidden gem of Columbia. Gosh, there are so many things I could recommend to try. I love their crab bisque and their Granberry chicken salad sandwich is terrific. Quaint atmosphere, great service. I'm almost afraid to post this because more people will come. It's a little tight on space, but more than worth the wait. read more

So I am visiting Columbia today and asked my normal question "where do the locals eat?" I was sent here....that advice was spot on! Ann took care of me - a sweet lady who is ALL about service - I had the bruschetta (fresh and wonderful and a HUGE portion for an appetizer) to start and a turkey panini - oh my Lord my taste buds died and went to heaven. As good as the food was, the service is as better...stop in and ask specifically for Ann - she will take GREAT care of you. Great food, fresh ingredients, huge portions...for just a little bit of your money read more
