The line moved quickly once the doors open, and our party of seven was seated on the patio for a delightful breakfast. We have been enjoying Ozark Mountain Biscuits via the food truck since 2016, but this was our out of town friends' first time there. They all enjoyed their breakfasts - a couple What a Country! breakfast plates, steak & eggs, biscuits & gravy, a few sides, and plenty of coffee. Service was great, food was fabulous, weather on the patio was perfect, and spending time with friends there rounded out the experience. We'll be back!

Ernie's Cafe & Steak House, is a true classic diner. I was in town for a wedding and they gave a…read morelist of restaurant recommendations. Ernie's was not on the list, but once in town both the bride and groom verbally recommended it for breakfast. The wedding was Saturday, so before I left town on Sunday, I filled my tummy with a classic breakfast. It's a popular diner, so there was a line out the door. I will say, the manager/hostess kept it moving. A Karen, cut past several of waiting a went inside and went to take an open stool. She was quickly sent back outside and to the end of the line. The hostess, then came out and told another single diner and myself to come and take which stool we wanted at the counter. Ernie offers 12 different combos for breakfast, I picked one that I thought I wanted. When I ordered and said to hold the buttered toast and give me an half order of Biscuits and Gravy. My waitress was so sweet, she said, nope. She said she was going to save me money by ordering me the #11 and replacing the French Toast with the B&G. That's excellent customer service. My Combo #11 was delicious. Had my eggs scrambled and they were super fluffy and simply seasoned. The three slices of bacon were crispy and the Hash Browns had crispy edges. However, the true star of my breakfast was the Biscuit and Gravy. The biscuit wasn't as fluffy as I'd like, but the gravy was top notch. I love pepper and it was extremely peppery which made me happy. If anyone is going to Columbia, I'd tell them to stop by Ernie's for breakfast. When I come back to COMO, I'm going to stop by for lunch and enjoy a burger. Dick Tracy, thinks about them all the time.

Decided to get lunch at Beet Box for the first time yesterday. What a cool spot! Nestled between…read morethe buildings in the Arcade district, this brick and mortar has an amazing atmosphere, and a cool little secluded out door seating area too. The guy at the register gave me the full run down of the menu when I told him I'd never been in before which was appreciated. After I told him I was on a GLP one he told me I could get any of the wraps as a bowl, with the flatbread on the side! That way, I get my protein and less carbs. So I decided to get the chicken shawarma bowl. It had Chicken Shawarma, Cherry Tomatoes, a Pickled vegetable medley called torshi, mustard greens, babaganoush, white and green sauces in a salad bowl with my fresh flatbread on the side. I was in absolute heaven. The green sauce is to die for, but on this day they used fresh mustard greens that added a spiciness and unique flavor as well. The combination of everything was great. I have seen them made with apples in other posts which I hope to try one day. I loved this bowl so much, and honestly I'll be back for sure to try different things. Especially seeing as how they change their specials with the seasons.

I'll be honest--I had never even heard of Columbia, Missouri until a few weeks ago. So to say I had…read moreexpectations would be a flat-out lie. I couldn't have told you a single thing about this part of the country. But after one lunch at Beet Box, I'll be talking about Columbia for a long time. The Lamb & Eggs is an absolute masterpiece. On paper, it doesn't even sound like it should work. Then it shows up looking like a beautiful mess--a mishmash of flavors, textures, herbs, vegetables, creamy elements, perfectly fried eggs, and incredibly seasoned lamb. It feels like chaos... until you take the first bite. Then it all makes perfect sense. Every ingredient has a purpose, and somehow it all comes together in one of the most memorable dishes I've had in a very long time. As incredible as that bowl was, the Za'atar Fries with Harissa Mayo somehow stole the show. Crispy. Battered. Perfectly seasoned. Every single fry had that satisfying crunch on the outside while staying fluffy inside, and the harissa mayo was the perfect finishing touch. These aren't fries you order because you're looking to round out the meal. They're fries you'll be thinking about long after you leave. I came into Columbia knowing absolutely nothing about it. I left wondering how a place this good isn't on every food lover's radar. Beet Box isn't just a great lunch spot--it's a Godsend. Six stars...out of five!

I went to Sage with two friends and we had to wait a bit to find seating because it was so busy. The restaurant itself is pretty small and tight, so it was definitely on the louder side with everyone sitting close together, but it wasn't unbearable or anything worth complaining about. I ordered the bacon, egg, and cheese croissant. The croissant itself was buttery and flaky, which I liked, but overall I wasn't very impressed, especially for the price. It just felt like something I could make at home for cheaper and probably better. One of my friends ordered the waffle though and said it was the best waffle he's ever had. He liked it so much that he ordered a second one, so that's definitely a positive.

We waited for several minutes for someone to come out front and notice that we were there for our reservation. Once seated, the service was slow, yet there were employees all over the place; many of them going to the basement, coming back up, going back down, and no one waiting on the tables except our waiter. The food was slow to arrive. We ordered deviled eggs; they were "out". Out of deviled eggs?! They're eggs. The one other couple behind us ordered fried pickles; again, they were out of fried pickles. How does that happen? They're pickles. So the start was disappointing at best. When the food came out it was terrible. The chicken was so salty it was not edible. The pasta tasted like it was packaged. We had two glasses of wine each and our bill, with tip because it's not the waiter's fault that the restaurant in which he works is of poor quality, was $190. This was literally the worst experience I've had in this establishment.

Things started out well, the BF had a tasty Manhattan and I had a mocktail that was subtle and delicious, and not overpriced as mocktails often are. But alas. The house salads that we ordered were overdressed in a vinaigrette so acidic we couldn't finish them. And there wasn't much to them. Other than greens and fried shallots and pickled red onions, there was a tiny dusting of some finely grated cheese. And who needs two kinds of onions and nothing else on the salad? Then we each had a bowl of the matzo ball soup, which was ridiculous. Three matzo balls sitting in a quarter-inch of broth that was so unbelievably salty that we couldn't eat that either. We ended up asking for hot water to dilute the broth to a level of saltiness that was edible. The chicken was okay and the matzo balls were okay. A little gummy. But the broth was just awful. It all made me wonder if the chef had lost their sense of taste due to Covid or something. Seriously. I've had that happen to me a couple of times and all I could taste was really basic stuff like sour and salt. And our waitress was totally uninterested in trying to make our experience better. She wasn't rude, she was just indifferent to the fact that we'd been served two courses that we absolutely couldn't eat. Didn't offer us anything to compensate or even express any sympathy about it. We got out of there as fast as we could and made ourselves feel better with an Andy's frozen custard.

When I called on the phone Gavin was very helpful and patient as I have dietary restrictions. I ordered a soup that was vegan and gluten free ( Beet, Apple etc) and I ordered what I thought was a nice green salad only to see Parmesan sprinkled all over it even though I was clear that I was gluten free and dairy free. They took out the croutons but not the cheese. Gavin apologized and did a refund but i was surprised that he didn't offer to make things right but offering me something else as it wasn't my mistake and I had to drive all the way back to return the salad to get a refund. I don't blame him at all and I was wondering if this is managements policy ? Again I don't wish to knock Him at all as he was super busy at lunch time and mistakes do happen. My review is directed at Management.
