I came in at an off busy time and sat at the bar. It's a full service bar and the bartender was great. I didn't interact with her much (my own choice) but she knew her regulars and it was cool to watch. I had the Korean Steak tacos plus chips and tomato salsa. The food was pretty good. I loved the kimchi on the tacos. Overall the tacos were really good but I would have liked a stronger flavor on the steak itself not just the sauces. The salsa didn't have a whole lot of flavor but I definitely still try this place again if I'm in the area again. The ambience of the restaurant is probably better at night. The open kitchen you pass to sit is pretty awesome so in some spots you can watch your food being made which j always think is entertaining read more

Came in on a Tuesday and the bartender slid us the tab and asked my husband to curb his language. In the bar area. In the back. Yeah, he said fuck twice and fuckers once. It was a stressful day as a business owner. Guess we should get our emotions in check prior to ordering a drink here. Go across the street to Son of a Gun. They are cool. read more

44 Canteen - Fish tacos - New American Near Me - Columbia, Missouri

I was in town for a concert at the venue next door, so this looked like a perfect place to grab some grub. I was a little worried when I looked at the menu. There were burgers, sandwiches and gourmet tacos among other items to choose from. I'm not gonna lie - I worried this was a money grab. Thankfully I was wrong. The Korean Steak tacos were larger and more filling than they looked. They were really good, too - especially since I paired them up with a locally brewed Burr Oak Brewing Pilsner. Good food. Good beer and cocktails selection. Great service. This is a cool college hangout. read more

Went here for a Friday lunch with my brothers. The service was quick and friendly. Update: I'm not sure that this business is still around. read more

Fun college town pub with refreshing cocktails and good food. I had already had lunch, so I just went along with a couple of cousins who had arrived for a family wedding. Even though I enjoyed my earlier lunch, reading the menu for 44 Canteen made me wish I had waited. I was impressed by their cocktail menu, they all sounded delicious. Being a fan of whiskey, I had to go with their, Irish Lemonade. It was made with, Jameson Whiskey, Gosling's Ginger Beer, house-made sour and garnished with fresh mint leaves. So, refreshing. So I could have something to munch on, while my cousins chowed down, I ordered the Chips and Dips. They were fresh fried white corn tortilla chips, served with my choice of two dips. The chips were Mexican restaurant quality. I paid to upgrade one of my dips to guacamole and it was worth it. Our server was attentive and witty. She made our short visit at 44 Canteen, a fun-filled experience. Next time I am in COMO, I will come back and experience a full meal. read more

We were given a gift certificate to this restaurant. I wouldn't go back. The restaurant was dirty. It has an old ambiance, but in this case, it was actually dirty. I told the waiter, who was also the bartender, I did not want anything spicy. He told me a specific entree was not spicy but we have very different ideas of spicy. I could not eat it. The sauce was unpleasant and burned. He saw my plate was untouched after one bite and did not ask how it was! The other people with me ate their meals but the fries were burned to a deep brown. The entrees were edible. This is not a family restaurant. The bar is loud and the conversations are not wholesome and they are very loud. read more

Delicious food and drinks. Great overall vibe. Love the Korean steak tacos and homemade fries!!

Sat at the bar in the back and had dinner and drinks. Still had fantastic service and good cocktails! Ordered the fish tacos (excellent!) and a Mojo salad. The salad was so fresh and flavorful. I was actually surprised at how large it was for the price. I ended up boxing up half to take home. Hubby ordered the Valentina fried chicken tacos and he couldn't have been happier with the flavor. This place is still a 5 star for us and we will be back next time we are in town! read more

This place is amazing! Everything from the location, ambiance, price, and service was perfect! We were seated quickly and our server was so friendly and attentive the entire time! The food here is so fairly priced and located in downtown Columbia it is the perfect hangout spot with affordable and delicious food! Our food came out quickly after ordering and it was delicious! The Korean BBQ bacon burger was filling and the sauce went well with the burger! I also got the fries with two dipping sauces and the portion was HUGE and I ended up taking leftovers home. The fries were thin and crispy and the seasoning was garlicky, delicious, and went well with the two sauces I tried. 100% recommend to everyone! read more

The restaurant, service, and food were amazing! After a long drive into town we stopped at the recommendation of our daughter here a college. Had the pollo asado tacos a Flour Tortilla, Shaved Cabbage, Mojo Vinaigrette, Asado Marinated-Roasted & Pulled Chicken, Lime Aioli, Avocado, Pickled Red Onion, Queso Fresco, Cilantro and they were so good as the toppings pair together nicely but when you take a bite and that lime aioli comes through is what I enjoyed the most. read more

Everything is great! We love the chicken tostadas and cheese steak taco. Desserts and cocktails are great as well

Best place ever. Like no joke, the service is quick, the food hits so hard, and it's reasonably priced. I don't know about you all but where else can you get two entrees and an appetizer for under 40$. This is my go to restaurant in como and I wish I could take it with me when I move. read more

44 Canteen's Tacos have stolen my heart. If you are looking for a unique dining experience with fantastic tacos and some awesome appetizers then this is the place for you. I have been going to 44 Canteen for a while and it is now a restaurant that I come to repeatedly whenever I come back up to Columbia. Their fish tacos are something out of heaven and their sloppy disco fries are so good they make you wanna dance! On top of their food their service is always perfect and the people working there are super nice! They also have really cool cocktails there and some good tap beer if you were looking for a good pregame meal sesh! Definitely try this place out the next time you come up to COMO! read more

Amazing. Started out rough with a dirty beer glass but let me tell you, they made up for it. Food was incredible, service was pretty solid, and the atmosphere fits Columbia well. Highly recommend to anyone looking to try something new. read more

My bestie brought us here on our way through town because it's consistently good and one of her favs. It's a super long but not a very wide space, as most old buildings in Como! We got a table right away and had great service! We got the Sloppy Disco Fries, the Green Chile Patty Melt and the Philly steak tacos. I would recommend the fries 10/0 and the tacos. The patty melt was great but I would get tacos next time. We would definitely come back! read more

Went here recently, and we absolutely loved the food! Our waiter was great and let me make a tempeh substitution for their tacos and it was fantastic! Their ssamjang mayo was the table favorite item! Especially for the price, insanely high quality!! Only note would be that while waiting for our table, the bartender seemed less than thrilled that only 1/2 of us wanted to order drinks with him. Definitely will be returning though! read more

Loved everything about this place. Sat at the bar- bartender was awesome ! Had a house wine which was much better than I expected. Ordered Korean tacos which were pretty good and fries (cold first time sent back and awesome then) plus lime aioli dipping sauce which was to die for. Excellent service and good value. read more

Absolutely loved my Sloppy Jose tacos! Plus they were very knowledgeable on gluten free items. Would definitely go back!

This place is a hidden gem in Columbia Missouri. At first, I was confused about the man behind the bar. I thought that maybe he was stand-off ish because he was annoyed with me asking him questions, but I think he was just shy because once we got to talking and he gave me recommendations, he opened right up. The tiger blood margarita was my "appetizer" and it was fabulous! It was sweet but not too sweet but the perfect twist on a classic margarita. Then I ordered a house margarita to compare, and it was just as good! To eat, I ordered the fish tacos with a side of queso and French fries. I truly cannot believe these came from a small bar in Columbia MO. They were so flavorful and filling- I would 100% recommend to anyone who likes seafood. Definitely would recommend to anyone in the area looking for a homey-feel, good meal, and great cocktails! read more

One of our favorite restaurants in Columbia! My fiancé and I love this place for date night, or for bringing friends just for a fun night. The ambiance is a hipster, tex-mex, gastro-pub feel, catering to the college students and young adults. The food is consistently delicious, and the drinks are unique as well. The service has always been great. - Fries (3.5/5): these are usually very crispy and cooked well, but this last time the fries were a bit soggy and not as good as usual. The queso is also just okay, but the other sauces esp the garlic have been amazing. - Steak burger (4/5): this was so yummy! Very flavorful, cooked and seasoned well. Big portion as well. - Shrimp tacos (4.5/5): I LOVE all the tacos here! Always delicious, and all the tacos have been cooked well. Definitely hit the spot! Always recommend this spot! read more

We had excellent service. This were fabulous. Pinto/corn salsa was terrific. Sweet potato taco - the potato needed cooked a tad longer but flavors were great. Chicken tostadas ware good but a little messy. I'd love to go again and try something else. read more

Atmosphere is as good, server was very attentive and very good. Food was underwhelming unflavored and bland. Looks really seasoned, but was overall bland. read more

Our first time here but sure to become a regular dining spot when visiting our favorite OB-GYN kiddo in Columbia. Dr. E said all the cool kids love this place, and she was right! Delicious nachos and tacos that did not disappoint. Tacos. Beer. Two things they market themselves as doing well, and while we aren't beer drinkers, they certainly nailed the first! Like Arnie says, "I'll be back!" read more

Portions | Fries | Chicken Sandwich (COVID) Portions: The restaurant has HUGE portion sizes. You be hungry. We had the chips and salsa, which were more than enough for an appetizer for three people. We definitely had leftovers. Fries: The fries were pretty amazing. If you are one of the people who like fries that are slightly greasy and slightly salty, these are for you. I definitely had to run an extra mile after eating these. But, it was worth it! Chicken Sandwich: Great sandwich. The chicken was tender and the seasoning was well done. I would highly recommend it. read more

Service was quick and the waitress was nice. We got the Canteen Nachos and the Nashville Chicken Sandwich. There were a lot of cold ingredients on the nachos, which then made all of the nachos cold, so it was not great, but the chicken was flavorful. The sandwich was good though. read more

Wow! A hidden gem. This was my first time to Columbia and someone had mentioned 44 Cantina. The queso and salsa Fresca were delicious and so fresh. The chips seemed either over fried or stale BUT seasoned well. I had the Walking Steak taco and it was so good! I'd order again. My husband had the fish tacos and said it's the best fish taco he's ever had. Small but neat place. We will return! read more

Ambiance had a fun college town vibe. Food was so good. I loved the Korean burgers and sweet potatoes.

Good food. Nachos and chicken tostadas rocked. Beer on draft is a bit suspect. Will go back for a change up.

Great pub grub near several night spots in Columbia... very affordable, great friendly staff

One of my favorite dinner spots in Columbia, Missouri! The atmosphere is great and I've never waited too long to be seated. Also, for the quality of the food, this place is priced fairly cheap. It is a must to start out with the sloppy disco fries as an appetizer (you will not regret it). My favorite entree is the fish tacos, but the Korean steak tacos is another favorite. As always, support local :) read more

Food was amazing. Bartender not so much. His highly thought of self kinda ruined the experience for me. I'd read another nonfavorable review about him but there was a wait for a table and none for the bar. I recommend this spot for their food but wouldn't sit at the bar again. read more

Busy on Friday nights! We ended up sitting at the bar which was fine with us! Great selection of beers. We ordered the Korean bacon burger - the house made cucumber kimchi on top was awesome! We also got the chicken tacos which included PBR beer pulled chicken. You can sub corn tortillas at no charge. We heard that one of their signature items = the sloppy disco fries which sound like something to share with a bigger group! I'd love to try their sister restaurant 44 Stone first before going back to 44 Canteen. read more
