I really, really liked Carolina Cafe! It felt like somewhere out of the 1960s, with its…read moreold-fashioned vibe, wooden chairs, and black-and-white checkered floor tiles! As a fan of acrylic art, I also loved the artworks displayed across the cafe. As for my food, I thought the bagels were a tad too large, making them kind of difficult to bite into, but they weren't bad by any means. I also didn't love how they had a sign asking you to leave them a *good* review on Yelp or Google, in exchange for a free bagel. I don't mind businesses asking for feedback, but you shouldn't bribe your customers into writing good reviews; you should earn them with your quality. Nevertheless, I still liked Carolina Cafe, would recommend it for a quick bite to eat, and will stop in again sometime in the future!

Updated review!…read more PROS: - I still love the everything bagels! I would go so far as to say that this is the best everything bagel that I've ever had. It's a NY-style bagel, and the biggest thing that sets it apart from all other bagel places is that they put the everything seasoning on both sides of the bagel, so the taste goes throughout the whole bagel. Also, the toasted onion really packs on the flavor! - Good value for the price. - Generous amount of cream cheese spread. CONS: - The service can be hit or miss depending on which students are working. - The tables and floors are often sticky. - The cream cheese spreads aren't very flavorful. FAVORITES: - The everything bagel! TIPS: - Order and eat in the restaurant for the freshest bagels experience. - Don't order online - it's unreliable. Call if you must. OVERALL: - Best everything bagel!

We had a ordered for: Two Hot dogs with chili, French Dip, Philly Cheese steak Biscuits and Gravy with eggs Three Chicken salad sandwiches (special chicken salad) Angel was our waitress and she took great care of us...following up with drinks throughout the meal. The Philly Cheese steak was great and the member said he'd have to bring his wife out to taste this soon. I had the French dip. The beef was very good with melted cheese and side of au jus. The Au Jus was a bit salty but had good flavor. I thought the bread was a bit weak...or almost too soft, but it held together well. I would've preferred a more crispy crust with the soft inside...this had a very soft crust. (The Philly Cheese Steak guy thought it was the best, however). Everyone liked the food and had no complaints at all. Our average rating was a 4.6 for the restaurant. Angel said that the next time we came we should call ahead a day or so and she'd make sure she had a caramel cake for us to get (the last time we were here one of the guys ordered a slice of that and said it was the best he'd ever had.). Nice place, very friendly.

Do keep in mind that parking can be tricky, especially on nice days when many visitors are enjoying the nearby Cayce/West Columbia Riverwalk. A little patience goes a long way! As for the food, it was absolutely top-notch! I opted for a simple but classic breakfast of pancakes, scrambled eggs, and bacon, and everything was cooked perfectly. While the menu is a bit "busy" with many options to choose from, the variety is impressive, and I'm excited to try more dishes next time. No complaints here! Service was equally great. We arrived about 45 minutes before closing, and our hostess took the time to answer all of our questions about the menu, which was much appreciated. I highly recommend this spot--the food was excellent, the atmosphere was welcoming, and overall, it's a place worth visiting!

The outside of statics of the restaurant are absolutely adorable and the green door is stunning. The inside of the restaurant was exceptionally clean and decorated beautifully it was a little cold so we decided to sit outside, not sure if the outside dining is used much, but the tables could have been wiped down, but the temperature was perfect so we overlooked that on the patio. Our server was very friendly and informative. I went with the golden hour cup of tea, which has all of the notes of fall and my partner got fresh orange juice, a side of grits and crispy bacon I initially ordered the mushroom toast however they were out of mushrooms, the steak egg and cheese croissant. The sandwich come served on wheat toast, and I was eventually advised that they were out of croissants. However, all of the food was so exceptional that I was able to overlook that. These were probably the best bowl I have ever had. We will definitely be back and this is going to be my go to spot when I want an exceptional bowl of grits.

Whether you are looking for breakfast, lunch or dinner, they have great options available and I believe they offer soul food on Sundays. The Carolina Rice Balls are a signature item and you can choose your protein for the filling. The fish and grits were filling and nicely seasoned. I do wish the fish had been more crispy, but that's a personal breading preference. Service was very friendly! The person at the counter noticed that I had been taking pictures while I waited for my food and even held the boxes open so I could snap a few pics while it was fresh. I hope this business succeeds and I plan to return!

Our order consisted of Cheeseburgers, fries, onion rings, coleslaw and the catfish dinner. First the only negative was the fish breading was a little soggy, but the fish was tasty. The burgers were top notch and huge. The home cut fries were bomb and the onion rings had my favorite batter and were excellent. The coleslaw was on another level. It's a little on the sweet side, which made it even better. The staff was super friendly and the order came out fast and hot. If you're in the area and you're really hungry, this place will not disappoint. Great good and service.

Each week you will find a weekly special sandwich, side, and soup -- today I opted for this time. The Chicken Bacon Brie was loaded with a generous heaping of bacon, chicken, Brie, city roots green, and a balsamic mayo, pressed between rosemary focaccia. The sandwich was a little sparse on the chicken which was also dry yet still delicious, particular the focaccia bread and balsamic mayo which really rounded out the dish.
