So glad CSC came to Columbia MO a few years ago! My only complaint, they need a location on the west side!
Can never go wrong. You won't leave hungry. The cookies that come with your meal are plenty to satisfy my sweet tooth. Friendly staff !
Chicken Salad Chick
I always enjoy a Culver’s Concrete; so many flavor combinations to choose from ! I will say, their cheese curds are my SECOND favorite in town, but their onion rings are my #1 fav!
We have 2 locations and service is always fast & cheerful !
Columbia, MO - Broadway Bluffs Dr
Great ice cream! Don’t go there if you are diabetic! But if you must treat yourself once in a while, it’s worth it! Always a “friends” favorite. Enjoy the outside seating. Everything on their menu is worth trying !
Andy's Frozen Custard
Always been one of me & hubby's top choices for good Chinese food. When we were first dating, we went there & he called his dad & said "dad, can you believe it, I'm actually eating Chinese!" And he's been hooked since. Cher came to our ci...
China Chef
Really can't go wrong with any Subway in Columbia MO. Enjoy the new atmosphere & decor at Grindstone location. Welcoming & inviting. Subway is a classic if it's a good quality sandwich you're looking for !

Although I will admit I’m not a maniac when it comes to needing my chicken fix, I greatly enjoy their diet lemonade ice cream frosty (which may not be the official menu name). One complaint…..they need to sell it in a larger size! I down that in no t...
Chick-fil-A
Really, REALLY enjoy this more than I thought I would! So does hubby! We have so many chicken choices in Columbia, MO, & I’m now glad this is one of them. Happy that you can skip the slaw & add extra fries. Love their toast! Wish they had die...
Raising Cane’s
I’m curious what other cities & states have a Seven Brew, because if you don’t, you need to get one! Such a fun environment (& all we do is drive through, which is always busy btw!) All they do is hire great team members! Like, if you don’t h...
7 Brew Coffee
Really enjoy this establishment. Happy with their drink selections, as well as food items. I’m especially fond of humus toast with extra toasting, please ! We have tried a wide variety of their drinks& are always happy. Only wish is that they wou...
The Grind Coffee House - South
I’m going to give this an average review. I’ve had some “big mistakes” from KFC in the past. But it’s been around so long & has a good name, just have to keep giving them the benefit of the doubt and try again. Because when they get it right, the...
KFC
I'm giving Sonic a great review because my husband LOVES it! I just don't think of them as often, but when I do go, I never have a complaint. Love their slushies. Heck even their grilled cheese is tasty ! The drive up stalls are always fun & take...
Sonic Drive-In
I enjoy a good roast beef sandwich from time to time, and Arby’s is the place to get it ! I really like their slider sizes, it’s plenty for me. The attendant has convinced me more than once to “add on a cookie” because 90% of the time, they suggest i...
Arby's
I’m always very happy with Wendy’s. When I say to myself; “Self, let’s have a good ole fashion hamburger & fries”, this is where I go!
Now if you are like me & do not want cheese on your hamburger, make sure you indicate that, double check t...
Wendy's Clark Lane #20 in Columbia, MO
And yet another "hard to go wrong" eatery! Pastries, drinks, sandwiches, salads, desserts, soups! Don't just stand there! Go to Panera with fair prices, great quality food, good portions, nice atmosphere! Highly recommend!
Panera Bread
I'm not gonna lie. I have convinced many people to switch their allegiance to Yummy's! Even over the "name brand" shops. No one else comes close! Fresh, many varieties, friendly staff, can't beat prices, & a taste fit for heaven!
You MUST try it...
Yummy's Donut Columbia Mo
Directly across the street from Union Station in our beloved downtown St Louis! In view of The Arch (from outside). Great atmosphere and food! Service was great, and they were very busy due to a convention at US.
Ordered a salad and it was HUGE! It’...

Very happy with mid-Missouri DoorDash option. Never have had a bad or negligent driver. I work sometimes odd locations doing security on a college campus & they are very good at following my directions to deliver to me. Of course you are going to...
DoorDash - Food Delivery
I was truly impressed with this entree! Most importantly, my husband loved it ! (He’s hard to please). Stouffer’s still has it!
I hurt my back & needed a quick fix for supper.
Take out of box, slide in oven at 375 degrees for 75 minutes. Pull p...
