    Hands down, the best original chicken sandwich I've had at any of the locations!! The location is located in the Mall in Columbia in the food court. When I walked up to the counter shortly before 11AM yesterday I was pleasantly greeted. After I received my order I sat down at a table directly across. I took one bite into my sandwich and wasn't prepared to be wowed by a sandwich that I've had a hundred times before. The chicken was extra crispy and maybe the color confirmed it as it was darker than normal. The fries were crispy and warm too. Very unusual for me to receive both a warm and crispy sandwich and fries. This is not the usual experience I have had at any of the locations. I am wondering if it's because I arrived so early and it wasn't peak time so they had the time for a bit more TLC. Given my exceptional and tasty lunch this visit, I will definitely come back next time that I am at the mall.

    Definitely not a fan of this location! Convenient sure but not good. I've been many times over the years. Yesterday I ordered a spicy chicken sandwich to go and this thing was overcooked and just didn't taste good! I didn't even enjoy it at all! I mean CFA is usually on point, but not sure what's going on here. They didn't even say, "my pleasure." I don't wanna say it's because it's inside of a mall but no thanks!

    The Chik-fil-a at the columbia is one of the most convenient place for me to go to in the morning without waiting in long lines except for the weekends. Staff are friendly with fast customer service.

    Definitely my favorite place to eat after a volleyball tournament?! Waffle fries are life! Always friendly and never a problem! Best time to come is probably near there closing time because their not a long wait like during the kids rush hour early in the afternoon.

    What the heck is this!

    Crimson Coward (2nd Visit)…read more Came back for a second visit to Crimson Coward and it definitely confirmed why I wanted to give it another try. Food: This time I kept it simple but strategic. I ordered the smash burger combo (only $4.99 to upgrade--great deal), which came with fries and a drink. The burger was stacked with onion, American cheese, pickles, and their signature crimson sauce on a soft brioche bun. Everything worked together--juicy, flavorful, and not overly greasy. I also tried the Quarter Coward (an off-menu item priced at $5.49), got it mild with honey sauce. The chicken was cooked perfectly--tender inside with a nice crisp on the outside. The honey added just enough sweetness to balance the mild heat without overpowering it. Definitely a hidden gem on the menu. Atmosphere: The space is bright, clean, and inviting. I especially liked the open kitchen concept--it gives transparency and lets you see everything being made fresh. Plenty of tables available if you're dining in. Customer Service: You're greeted when you walk in, which I always appreciate. Ordering is primarily done through kiosks, so interaction is minimal unless you need assistance--but the setup is smooth and efficient. Wait Time: Everything is cooked to order, which I don't mind. I placed my order at 3:16 PM and had my food by 3:30 PM, so about a 14-minute wait--pretty reasonable for fresh food. Overall: Solid second experience. Good quality, fair pricing, and consistent execution. I'll definitely be back to explore more of the menu--especially those off-menu finds

It was a pleasant surprise when I recently googled fried chicken and this location popped up in my search. It has been open for a few months. My husband called in our order while we were driving as the chicken can take awhile since it is made to order. We purchased half a chicken box which consist of four piece chicken (drumstick, breast, wing, thigh), fries, coleslaw, and a slice of bread. Although it took a little longer than normal, it was worth the wait. The fries and chicken were piping hot and crispy. When I bit into the chicken, it was crackling and so hot I had to blow on it. Aside from fried chicken, they also sell fish, wings, sides, and dessert. It's worth noting that their infamous lemon pepper seasoning, often referred to as crack because it's addictive, is available for purchase. My husband was thrilled to see this as the Glen Burnie location does not sell it. When I started taking pictures, one of the owners, Tiger, saw me and started chatting. My husband and I learned that he, his two brothers and his son are the owners of this franchise and that there are 43 locations. I had no idea there were so many. This location has a few tables and chairs, but patrons predominantly just do carry out. We are ecstatic to have our favorite fried chicken franchise so close to home.

However, the prior P is for Playa Bowl in Baltimore County was in Q is for Quarry Lake, so the location coincidentally started with Q. I believe Raising Cane's in Columbia was the 3rd location in Maryland to open. First was Towson in early 2023 I think, then Gambrills in Sept. 2023 (went on their 2nd day; see my 5-star of them), and then Columbia in early 2024 I think. The first time I visited the Columbia location was in March 2024, where I redeemed a green leprechaun lemonade, but I had already eaten or had other dinner plans. My first visit to get food was in July 2024. This was my girlfriend's first time at Raising Cane's. She loved it as did I per the other times I had in the past including the first time trying them in AZ in mid 2010's. I visited Cane's Columbia a couple of other times in the past two years. Always great chicken strips, fries, & Texas toast. I'm not a big coleslaw person, but I like theirs ok. I normally get half sweet/half unsweet tea, which is delicious freshly brewed. It's often busy, but staff is cordial, and pretty organized and efficient.

    Guess what?! There is a new Pollo Campero that opened up in the Columbia Mall. I received a…read morepostcard in the mail for a free 4-Piece meal so how could I not try try them out? I don't believe that I've had their food before so I was excited to try it out. I always hear the commercial on the radio as they sing Pollo Campero and I had to make sure I stopped myself from singing that as I walk to the restaurant. I went after work to grab a quick meal coupon in hand. No one was in line so ordering was really quick. I informed the young lady that I wanted to use my four piece coupon Ashley quickly asked me what size did I want. I already knew I wanted to try their plantains and I need a little bit of veggies in my life so I went to coleslaw. She told me it would take about 10 minutes but it was ready in less than five. She gave me my drink and I quickly moved over to pick up my meal. I thank them and left to my car. Of course I couldn't wait to open the box. On the outside Inside the bag was my fried plantains in a cute little cup, see the picture, and a roll. I don't wonder why my coleslaw was not also on the outside because it was cold but I proceeded to open up the box and found out they missed putting my coleslaw inside. The chicken was perfectly browned as you can see in the picture and I quickly grabbed a fork and dug into the thigh. Who doesn't love a juicy fried thigh? I knew I was going to go back in to get my coleslaw because I did need a vegetable but I couldn't stop eating the thigh LOL. I didn't wondered if I had the right box because I thought it included different chicken pieces. I looked at my other coupon and realized it was supposed to be a thigh, breast, wing, and leg. I know I would have tore that wing up. I decided that I would go back and get my coleslaw and then just let them know about the mistake. If something goes down I will update this review but so far so good. Customer service was nice, they are new so maybe they forgot to put in the coleslaw and the right pieces of chicken but it's definitely good to note it and let them know so they can do some quality control checks before handing out food next time. Okay, so I went back in to go get my coleslaw and it was a little difficult explaining to the cashier that they didn't give me the coleslaw originally and I had the wrong pieces of chicken. After explaining to her three times and then telling her what I needed directly, she understood. She also let me know that they did not have wings are brushed at the moment they only had thighs and legs. She still had a good attitude about it and was perceptive. I forgot to mention earlier that I chose horchata up for my drink because I know whenever actually her chapter on the menu I'm going to choose it. The cabbage and the coleslaw was diced and not shredded so that was different. It wasn't very sweet and I like that but it also wasn't very Tangy either. So overall it was okay, it just didn't have a lot of flavor

I love that they offer both fried and grilled options, so there's something for everyone. The yucca fries were a standout side, and the portions were generous.

Definitely a step up from your typical fast-food chain and worth a stop if you're in the mood for something flavorful and comforting.
