I did not enjoy this place at all. I was optimistic going in because i love a good burger joint but…read moreit did not please me at all. for starters, there was nobody in the restaurant which says a lot. When i ordered, the lady was not nice at all. She didn't say thank you or smile one time. Not the kinda service I like at all. Especially If i'm buying from your business. The guy who gave me my food and cooked it seemed a lot friendlier and gave me a smile. The food was just not good. I hate to be harsh but the taste was off. My boyfriend agreed that something just did not taste right. I appreciate them cooking it right then and there, so I was expecting a good taste but did not receive that. If there are better choices in the area, i recommend going to them any day. for improvement, the staff needs to be friendlier and more inviting!! i've seen that in a couple other of their reviews too!

Well, I missed taking pics, but this place is a great little burger place:…read more - Great tasting burger with good meat flavor. - Good sized burger. - Plenty of toppings to select from. - Burger cooked right and juicy. - Great fries and cheese sauce galore if you like. - Reasonably priced items. - A very clean place. Neat as a pin. Whoever is running this is sure paying attention to every detail. Mad Cow is delivering on all fronts and doing a fantastic job for their customers. Hats off to whoever runs/owns this place. Now...the only thing I find crazy about this place is the name. Mad Cow?? Wasn't that a bad thing in our society? Wasn't Mad Cow harmful to humans? But hey....they must know what they're doing with the name. lol.

Had really high hopes for this place after a long day on the road. The menu looked inventive and…read moreamazing. 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.

My husband and I are thrilled to have found this place to eat in Columbia, so much so that we wish…read morethere was a location where we live. I haven't found a good fried chicken place in over 25 years, and when I bit into the chicken and tasted their garlic mashed potatoes I realized that I had found the next best thing to what one believes grandma's home cook meal would taste like. The side biscuit was a treat to have and went well with honey or their wonderful jam. In fact, my husband and I are certain that their biscuits and gravy for breakfast must be wonderful based on their side biscuit. Our waitress was very attentive and friendly as well. I also noticed how quickly food was served for anyone waiting for their meals after they were ordered. I anticipate that we will be back to enjoy their other food options.

That said, the bacon definitely made up for it--thick-cut, perfectly crispy, and super satisfying. The real star, though, was the biscuit. It had an amazing texture--fluffy on the inside with just the right amount of structure--and the homemade blackberry jam was absolutely delicious. It added the perfect touch of sweetness and really elevated the whole meal. Overall, a good spot with some great elements. I'd definitely come back.

We never got the chance to check this one out so we went ahead and gave it a try. We wanted to peak to see if it was something up our alley and they wouldn't allow that. We couldn't even get in without paying a ridiculous cover, which is insane. We could have gone to any other bar for free. But, we were there, so we decided to give it a try. It's a typical college bar. No special cocktails, just well drinks. Great prices compared to the city, but on par with most Columbia bars. It was nothing special. Great patio and lots of space but there was nothing that made it worth the cover price. I think we lasted like 20 minutes then left. Cool bar, but the insane cover really doesn't make it worth it.

The atmosphere has that nostalgic college-town charm with loud energy and a laid back vibe, which is fun if that is what you are looking for. But when it comes to the actual pizza, it just does not stand out. It tastes about the same as a frozen pizza you would cook at home, which feels especially ironic since they literally sell their own frozen pizzas up front. Nothing was bad, it just wasn't memorable either. The cider I had was flat and some of the worst I had. If you want to check a "Columbia landmark" off your list or grab a bite in the middle of the action, it works for that. But for truly great pizza, there are better options in town. It's a good drunk college spot... that's it!
