The Stubborn Mule has been one of our go to restaurants ever since they opened. I don't know why I…read morehaven't posted a review before, but I have yet to get a bad meal in the years we've gone there. My all- time favorite item is the banana bread pancakes. The pancakes are huge, with mashed bananas in the batter and a heap of candied walnuts on top. It literally CANNOT be any better. I probably have these pancakes 90% of the time I eat here, because I love them so much. I have had a number of their other breakfasts (All American Breakfast, Chicken fried steak, etc.) and they were great. I am just addicted to the Banana Bread Pancakes. My wife has had many of their other items, and she is always very happy with her selections. I just don't believe there is a bad selection on their entire menu. The owners (Gary and Lorraine (sp?) are extremely friendly, as are the rest of their staff. It is always an enjoyable experience eating there. All in all, this is a great place to go for breakfast or lunch. We probably would go there even more often, but sometimes we think about it too late in the day (they are only open until 2pm).

Coming into this joint craving a chicken fried steak dinner. Well I got it. Freshly fried…read morebreaded steak with amazing white pepper gravy smothering it on top of some very crispy and tasty seasoned French fries along with a side of coleslaw. Steak had a nice crispy breading and the balance of breading to meat was perfect. Then the gravy was amazing. So tasty and so much!!!! Then the fries were so crunchy and seasoned perfect with their season salt. The coleslaw was nice a sweet tasting, kind of how KFC used to make their slaw but this was better!!! Washed it all down with freshly brewed sweet tea. This was exactly what I was craving and for sure I will be back to it this exact meal again!!!!

Came here on a weekend because of local sports tournaments…read more We were politely greeted and handed menus once inside. The menu was extensive and our server gave us adequate guidance. Burgers were ordered for all, though all different varieties. My burger and fries came out hot and fresh. The portion was quite generous and boxes were required for take home. We didn't really save room for dessert, but the pieces of homemade pie that we saw changed our minds. Once the bill came around there were no issues, and it was not expensive for the food we got. The restaurant has a sports bar type of feel as many televisions are showing football while many people seem to come in for carry out orders. Overall great experience and you should definitely give it a shot if you are in Columbia.

The food is definitely made fresh and to order vs. being fast food. The dining room is large with lots of tables and booths. There are a few more near the entrance too. I ordered the Fungus Among Us. It was a double smash burger with Swiss and mushrooms. The burger was tasty and the bun was nice and buttery. The sweet and spicy Brussels sprouts were simple and tasty. My husband had the Pork Tenderloin Sandwich and thought it was pretty good. My daughter had the kid's meal with a corn dog and fries. She enjoyed it. Overall, this is a solid spot if you're in this area and craving a burger.

Another fantastic visit to 8th & Main Burger!…read more I just had to leave another review because their new Southern Sting Wings are amazing! Perfectly fried, super crispy, and that sauce is absolutely perfect. Every bite was packed with flavor. Their burgers have always been top-notch (still the best in Columbia, hands down), and after years of dining here, the food has been consistently great every single time. My go-to side dish is always the crispy Brussels sprouts with that sweet and spicy sauce. It is so addictive! Overall, 8th & Main continues to be my favorite burger spot in Columbia, TN. Great food, great people, and they just keep getting better! The restaurant is clean and has plenty of seating, even on busy days.

There are Irish bands that play, so be sure to check out the events calendar. Just find parking anywhere on Main Street and walk, it's definitely a quick walk from wherever you park! We tried the fish and chips and the cabbage eggrolls. Everything was very fresh and really good! Highly recommend checking this place out!

he first time I had Jefferson's, we ordered through DoorDash. While the food arrived lukewarm, it…read morewas actually pretty tasty -- enough that I decided to stop by in person after work. When I arrived, the hostess was polite and helpful. I grabbed a menu and was directed to the bar to place my takeout order. I was the only person at the bar at the time. The bartender came over and asked what I was drinking. I don't drink alcohol, so I mentioned I was just there to place a to-go order. Without a word, she walked away. After I had decided what I wanted, I placed the menu down -- a pretty clear sign I was ready to order. Another customer walked in, sat at the bar, and was immediately helped by the bartender, who took his order and served his drink. Then she left the bar entirely, walking past two servers who were just standing at the end of it. What surprised me most was that the hostess noticed I was still sitting there. She kindly asked if I had been helped. I told her no. She approached the two servers and asked if one of them could take my order, and instead of helping, they actually argued with her about who should do it. She eventually walked away, and I was left sitting there -- completely ignored. This level of service is unacceptable. It's frustrating to see restaurants hike up their prices in the name of "paying staff a living wage" when the staff can't even be bothered to do the bare minimum -- like take an order from a waiting customer. Needless to say, I won't be back. And as for DoorDash -- while our first order was edible, it arrived cold, which has been a rare issue in my experience with the platform.
