It's hard to choose a favorite BBQ place in Columbia, I love the ribs from one place, beans from another, etc. But these guys are consistently the best, with generous portions and good quality. The fried green tomatoes are a must-try.

Small plates are good for sharing, we order the pretzels every time without fail. Delicious cocktails, and reasonably priced for how good it is. Small so prepare for a wait on weekends.

Yummy middle eastern/Mediterranean food. Falafel is always crispy and well-seasoned, and the chicken schawarma disappears quickly once it arrives. We usually order through orderup.

Freshly made ice cream from the College of Food, Agriculture, and Natural Resources. Tiger Stripe is iconic, but other flavors are great too.
