Food & Drink
Eat Local
In Columbia, food brings us together. It brings us together inside of restaurants, on Saturday mornings on Main Street, outside of breweries, at tailgates in the fall, in our homes with our family and friends, and even on the city’s most iconic bridge for a beautiful seated supper of over 1,400 people.
In Columbia, food brings us together. It brings us together inside of restaurants, on Saturday mornings on Main Street, outside of breweries, at tailgates in the fall, in our homes with our family and friends, and even on the city’s most iconic bridge for a beautiful seated supper of over 1,400 people. Columbia has a growing, vibrant food and drink scene with new restaurants and breweries popping up all the time. It’s such a huge part of our culture and it’s why our summer issue of Fig has always been dedicated to celebrating the incredible restaurants, bakeries, and breweries that have made their home here in our city.
As we go to print, the food and hospitality industry is slowly beginning to reopen their doors. First with the ability to host customers on outdoor patios and then moving to welcoming customers back inside their dining rooms for the first time since March 18. These local entrepreneurs and their teams have spent the last two months quickly adjusting to online sales, curbside pickup, contactless delivery, and more to be able to keep their business and their livelihoods afloat. They have been innovative and have come up with the most creative solutions to continue providing their food and drink to our community, and our community responded in kind with overwhelming support.
Our city’s restaurants need your support! We encourage you to support them in whatever way you feel is safe for you and your family. That can be buying a gift card for a future date night, picking up a to-go order, dining on an outdoor patio, or dining inside the restaurant. How ever you choose to support these businesses, it is greatly appreciated by the owners and their teams!
We’re hopeful that every restaurant and brewery reopens this summer. Here is a list of restaurants that are currently operating in one way or another for you to either pick up an order to go, dine outside, or dine inside. Please note that this list is not all-inclusive as restaurants are opening back up each day and unfortunately, does not include every restaurant in town.
