    Whole catfish, fries, coleslaw, hush puppies
    Alexis S.

    Always delicious, quick, and staff is so friendly! We did takeout and it was still amazing.

    Pickled Green Tomatoes and Hush Puppies
    Linda B.

    We had lunch for the first time at Catfish Campus in Columbia. They have been around for ages, but for some reason we have never eaten there. The food was absolutely delicious and we had the sweetest lady to wait on us. It's the first time we have ever had pickled green tomatoes...yum! Never heard of them before. We ended up bringing home half of my chicken dinner and a 16 oz. container of the pickled green tomatoes. We will definitely be going back!

    Hush puppies and pickled tomatoes

    This is worth the drive off the interstate. It's true what others have said. The hush puppies are some of the best anywhere. And they serve them with pickled tomatoes and the combination, I don't know, there's just something really great about it. The sides are fantastic as well. I give my highest recommendations to the green beans and potato salad. The catfish is fresh and comes out hot. The service is probably the best you'll find. I had a refill on my Diet Coke before I even finished half of my first. My server was on it. I'd give the place five stars, but I found the breading on the catfish to lack a tad on the seasoning side. Mixed with the tartar sauce it is quite good, but without I think you'll find it a little bland. But other than that, it's a fantastic restaurant. Definitely stop if you're in and around Columbia.

    My father came into town and instead of our usual stop at Puckett's, we thought we'd switch things…read moreup and take him somewhere he has not been before. My family and I were all beyond satisfied with what we experienced during this visit to Southern Tré. Here'a what stood out during our dining experience: * Our shared Shrimp appetizer was super tasty. * My 6oz sirloin was cooked to a medium, mouthwatering perfection and tenderness. * My father and I both enjoyed the blackBerry mixed beverage. (The name escapes me now but I recommend asking about it) * The southern decor and lighting made for an enjoyable and relaxing ambience. * Our waitress was pleasant, on top of things, and treated our toddler well. * The pricing was surprisingly fair for the quality of meal we received. * Our family mentioned several times (during and after) how great the seasonings and flavors were and how much our expectations were exceeded. In short: If you're near downtown and would like a nice sit down meal or a solid spot for a special occasion; instead of driving to Spring Hill for one of the chain steakhouses, I highly recommend you instead give Southern Tré a shot.

    It's not bad but it's not anything to rave about. I wouldn't be overly upset if someone asked me to…read morego here but I wouldn't just choose to go back. I've been twice and feel the same after both times.

Our server, James G, was fantastic. Such a warm and engaging person. The atmosphere is classy without being pretentious. The food was amazing--highly recommend the burrata, the BBQ pork sandwich plate[ a 'daily special', may not always be available], the truffle fries, truffle mac and the absolutely divine multi-layer Chocolate cake. James was a great mixologist, and I tried both the Hibiscus Sour and the Dreamsicle. Both were great, but my fave was the Hibiscus Sour. There is also a butcher shop at the front and the very sweet expert helped us to pick out a A5 Wagyu steak that we're really looking forward to trying. If you're in Columbia or the surrounding areas, I would truly recommend giving Prime and Pint a try. Would we drive from Huntsville to go here again? Absolutely, yes!

    We've been here twice in the past month. Our first visit was great. Sushi was perfect, service was…read moregood, there were just a couple minor complaints. The second time felt like throwing money in a toilet. Sushi was close to room temp, service sucked bottom, and there wasn't much to like about the whole experience. Our first visit was on a weekend evening and the second was midday during the week. Not sure if that makes a difference, but if we return it'll be in the evening, and probably a wknd night. Assuming the weekend experience was closer to their norm, I'll focus on that for the purpose of describing the food and whatnot. First, the good: -The wait time for a table was reasonable. We didn't visit the hibachi side, which looked to have a long wait, so I can't speak for that. -The staff wore masks and there was plastic dividing each booth. -Sushi was delicious! We ordered avocado roll smoked salmon roll, spicy crunch crab roll, Alaska roll, and shrimp tempura roll. The clear standouts were the spicy crunch crab and the Alaska roll. -Service was good. It was a young man who was polite and quick. Now for the meh: -Bathroom smelled like no one has flushed the toilets since the place opened. I don't know what the issue is, but they need to take care of it. There was a little air freshener thing on the counter, but it did nothing to cover up the stench. Fix your plumbing! -Miso was disappointing. One of my kids liked it. Two of us didn't. The kid who liked it eats questionable non-food items all the time, so I don't pay too much attention to his recommendations. He doesn't even have a yelp account. -We ordered the shrimp tempura appetizer. The server repeated that back to us twice: when we ordered and when he brought the food to the table. And yet, what we got was a shrimp and vegetable tempura appetizer. Two pieces of shrimp and, you know, veggies. This felt like bait and switch since the pic in the menu showed a plate of all shrimp, and there was both shrimp tempura appetizer and vegetable tempura appetizer listed in the menu. Seems like their attempt to save money. I could have saved my money by not ordering if I had known they wouldn't bring what we ordered, though. This is the kind of annoying crap that really irritates me. Take note, don't do business like this. As for the service during our second visit, the lady clearly didn't want to be serving. She was rude, we had to ask multiple times for basic items (small plates, etc.), and then she sat at the bar watching videos on her phone. I mean, maybe she's the owner and that stuff works for her. It was unpleasant for us. Four stars because of our first visit.

    Do not eat here. Besides the restaurant being dirty which we noticed after the fact of sitting , we…read morewatched the guy buss the table but sit the side of unused sauce to the side instead of dumping in buss bucket with everything else. Why?!! then my husband went and used the men's restroom which he came and said I suggest you not go to the women's ..then when food came the lady was basically pushing the plates in my face To pass them around the table bc she didn't know. Who ordered was what . On top of the rude service are food was cold and salty . It was not a pleasant experience and they didn't even try to make us feel welcomed or wanted there it was kinda like they wanted us to hurry up and eat and Leave . They were not busy at all maybe three tables seated. Don't eat here it was a waste of money and a horrible experience.
