    Bluewater oysters
    Christy O.

    All the Yelp reviews were correct! The service is outstanding, even with a party of 10! The Bluewater oysters were good, the she crab soup was tasty and the Bluewater platter was yummy. The tarter sauce had good flavor and the house salad dressing was great. We left happy and full. Everyone loved their meals. Definitely a must do if in the area.

    It would be easy to overlook the Bluewater and dismiss it because it is attached to a gas station. That would be a mistake. This is a fun and delicious place to enjoy fresh seafood, and we look forward to bringing all our out of town guests here! We had the shrimp and grits (unusual to have spinach and mushrooms, but the Gouda grits and sauce were spot on). The Lorenzo's catfish was a huge flavor sensation. Our server was attentive without hovering and made sure our drinks were topped off. The rolls! So yummy with butter and garlic topping! We got a piece of key lime pie to go (kind of small but very rich). I already know what I'm trying next time!

    Food was delicious,  even the sides!

    Saw many recommendations for Bluewater Grill by locals, and it is very good. Next time, I'll go for some oysters and crab claws. Saw other people getting them and humming, they were so good. Our server, Terry, was friendly and efficient while juggling multiple parties. Hope she's there when we go back! Note that prices have gone up since their menu was last posted, but not ridiculously, and where hasn't that happened in Columbus recently?

    Awesome food! Love this place. Have to try when in Columbus. Great atmosphere. Fresh food!

    Chargrillled oysters ,grouper, shrimp.pompano, brussel sprouts and mashed potatoes with a can of Guinness nitro

    Regularly travel to Columbus on business and have eaten at most of the restaurants here. Including Mabellas, Saltcellar and other well known downtown ones. If you are looking for seafood, this is it. Nothing even comes close. It is my favorite go to place for comforting yet healthy food with a very lovely, friendly ambience and nice people all around . The chargrillled oysters with jalapenos , bacon and a drop of their home made hot sauce are heavenly, as is the shrimp pompano . The grouper is done fried, blackened and my favorite - a thin, flour dusted pan sauteed version. The she crab soup so reminds me of some places near the Indian rocks beach in Florida. Extremely fresh and truly the coast coming to the heartland. Very well stocked bar and a good collection of drafts and cans to choose from and pair with the seafood.

    The food was amazing. The hostess was very pleasant, but our server left much to be desired. She started out wrong. She didn't bring us the amazing, complimentary rolls we saw everyone else getting. We had to ask for them. Then my husband asked if they served pina coladas and she said yes, but what he got was coconut milk on the rocks. She claimed that they didn't have a blender. Well, that should have been explained upfront. I was bartender before becoming a healthcare provider and I had NEVER seen pina coladas served on the rocks. My husband took one sip before she had a chance to leave the table and he told her that it wasn't good. Her resort was that she couldn't take it off the bill because it was alcohol and that he did good to get that because she's severely allergic to pineapples!! Huh?? She spoke with the manager and said it would be taken off the bill, but we were still charged and didn't notice it until after we had left and they were closed. We turned the car around and got them to correct it while they were still there.......even one of her cohorts noticed her poor service and apologized. As far as the food, DELICIOUS!!!! The crab claws, mashed potatoes, and dinner rolls were to die for!!! We're from out of town, but would go back just to dine here!!

    The raw oysters are fabulous. The first visit we were offered the house spicy sauce but it was not offered on the 2nd visit.

I always get their pho & banh mi (pork) and this time I tried their fresh spring rolls and it was quite thin. It was delicious, but I don't think I'd get that again because it wasn't amazing compared to other spring rolls I've had. On the other hand, their pho and banh mi are so delicious! I always get their large pho and the broth is so good. They always give cilantro on the side which is nice for people who don't like cilantro in their pho. I love finishing my meal with Vietnamese coffee. Most of the time their coffee tastes burnt but the most recent time I went (7/16/2026) it didn't taste burnt !!! so I'm hoping it stays this way because it was extra delicious this day! Another thing I want to note is how attentive and friendly the servers are. From all the times I ate here, I never had any problems with the servers. If you are ever in Columbus, GA, do yourself a favor and go get some yummy Vietnamese food from Big Mama!

We waited less than 10 minutes. We were greeted at the reception counter and were seated to our booth. I found it pretty odd that we didn't pay for our meals prior to seating. Matter of fact, it's a first that we've encountered this. All other buffets typically have you pay first. The buffet offers a variety of Asian cuisine such as Vietnamese, Japanese sushi/ramen, Mongolian, Chinese and more. Buffet prices are as follows: Weekday Monday-Friday Lunch $13.25 Dinner $16.75 Saturday & Sunday $16.75 All Day *Parties of 6 or more will have a 15% gratuity added to the bill. The restaurant is clean and bright. Service was on point. There were so many selections! We tried a variety of food, especially the seafood. Most of the food we tried were tasty and flavorful. We didn't try the Mongolian as we got super stuffed. LOL! The fruits were good. We both agreed that the desserts fell short. The assorted cakes were dry. The ice cream cups are available in the freezer come in vanilla, strawberry, chocolate and orange sherbet flavors. My sister and I really enjoyed our dinner. It was well worth the price of $16.75 each. We would return again.

You literally can make limitless combos to have your salad exactly as you want. All dressings are made in-house, which is pretty impressive. You can order a rice bowl with ingredients, too. The portions are beyond generous (a small salad would be considered large elsewhere) and the array of ingredients and toppings is exceptional. On my first visit, I ordered a small spinach salad with grilled salmon. As toppings, I added chopped red onion, shredded carrot, pineapple, mandarin oranges, blueberries, chopped strawberries, chopped beet, blue cheese, sliced avocado, dried cranberries with their in house made raspberry vinaigrette. It was literally one of the most delicious salads I've ever had. I was so stuffed from the generous portion that I didn't need dinner. On my second visit, I got a veggie wrap with grilled chicken, chickpeas, tomatoes, cucumbers, red onion, shredded carrot, blue cheese, sliced avocado. I got the in-house buttermilk ranch dressing on the side (and ended up not using it-sandwich was amazing without it). I was asked if I wanted chicken warmed (I didn't) and I was amazed at the skill of the preparer who was able to tightly wrap the ginormous quantity of ingredients into the wrap and halve it. I only ate half my sandwich so I have lunch for tomorrow. Win-win. The black cherry tarragon soda was so good as was the Italian lemon soda. Their soups sounded great as did their desserts. The staff was so friendly and helpful. (Don't forget to tip!) The tvs on the walls show cool food art being made. I'd come here and their Poke place at least twice a week for lunch if I lived locally. Prices are extremely reasonable for quality and quality of food.
