A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure of visiting A Peace of Soul Vegan Kitchen in Columbia, SC, and…read moreit was an unforgettable experience!

"We need to move to SC and within walking distance of this place" were the first words…read moreI spoke to my wife after having come down from NJ on a solo trip to see my mom. I landed at the Columbia airport and hopped in the rental to go check this place out before I made my way to my mom's place about 45 min away. I didnt know this was still a carryout or delivery spot until I got there- they have some patio seating but the chairs inside are all stacked to the side. The gentleman at the counter was super polite and mentioned he would he happy to help if I had any questions. Today's menu included bbq popcorn chkn, so I got the plate with that and 4 sides- collard greens, double mac and kidney beans. I was told there were large orders ahead of me and there would be a 30 min wait. Not an issue if you read below- and now I was extra curious! I sat in the car and was texted barely 20 min later that my order was ready. Here we go... I made it about 10 min into my drive before I found a place to just pull over and eat because the aroma of the (what felt like) 5 lb plate was taking over the car! My mouth waters as I write this a day later. This was proper vegan soul food, heck this was proper soul food. Collards were tangy, sweet. salty and melted when you got a forkful. Mac was creamy (i dont care if they were shells, they are just a vessel for flavor), and the kidney beans were spiced just right and the perfect compliment. Chkn was still crispy and tossed just enough in sauce not drowning in it. I got through half the plate (and I have an appetite) before I was plain stuffed. Good thing too because I remembered I was sharing this with my mom when I got home. Euphoria quickly turned into gluttony-remorse but not a bad remorse at all. This food was bangin, slapped, all that, fire, toothsome, bussin' - I would have slapped my momma but I have too much respect (and fear). On a related note, am I the only one that is classically conditioned to salivate when I hold a warm, heavy styrofoam container without even knowing whats inside? You know, when you first hear that styro-squeak as you open the lid, get that first whiff of deliciousness and your eyes first go to the condensation on the inside of the lid as you slowly pan hollywood style to the food in the plate, complete with theatrical glorious music playing? No? Guess its just me. Back to it. If there was even room in the container- all it needed was a slice or two of plain white bread, nothing fancy, sunbeam style is perfect. Summary: RUN here. Don't sweat the prices, portions are huge. Always support local-esp when the product is straight sorcery. Warning: If you are prone to back problems, you may want help lifting the plates. To the owners if you are reading: Please open up in NJ and Thank you!

I only eat things from the sea. So, when it comes to finding other proteins, it's very limited in some places. I had "The Bob" with Kale Salad. That burger was so tasty, soft and delicious! Everything was perfect in each bite:) The kale salad was yummy as well. Kale is one of my favorite veggies, so this was right up my alley. I also tried the Hush Puppies. They were big and round with a great taste, especially with the chipotle-brown sugar butter. I loved it! My husband ordered the Chikn Caesar Wrap with Tots. Even though this was new to him, he did enjoy it. He raved about the tots. I just had to sample it myself and it was awesome! Those tots were crispy, hot and full of flavor. Hands down the best!!! Customer service was great and the restaurant had a really great setup! Overall we definitely will be ordering again soon:)

Stopped by the Hoot to grab dinner. My mom had been telling me about this place for a while so she…read moredecided to treat me to dinner here. It was fairly easy to find, and there was plenty of parking when we went. The building is so cute and there's a little alley for a photo op. There are seats outside and some inside. When we went some of the tables were reserved for an event, but there were still open options to choose from. Its a grab a menu and order at the bar style place which I don't mind. Service was great and staff was really friendly. Our waitress was so sweet and attentive. For dinner I ordered the chicken tenders with a honey mustard dipping sauce and a side of tots. I was not a big fan of the breading on the vegan chicken. I also wish it had a bit more seasoning. Every one in my party were not a fan of their meals unfortunately due to lack of seasonings/taste. We did order hush puppies for the table which came with a cinnamon flavored sauce. The Hushpuppies tasted a bit overcooked. Overall I am always on the hunt for began spots so glad I was able to try it. I also noticed they have events there so maybe it will be a fun spot to just grab drinks and enjoy the vibe.

They didn't have a lot of restaurants open but Thai Orchid was. Decided to try them out. Walked in (only customers there) but seated at a nice table. We ordered a bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon, after bringing our wine our server took our order. I ordered gyoza and Thai garlic chicken wings, my husband ordered chicken drunken noodles. My garlic wings were so so good!! My husband loved his drunken noodles and tried a wing of mine and loved it!

After having the crab cake sandwich we would recommend doing the platter because the bread overpowers the crab cake. Everything was incredible, the flavors, consistency, and quality. It is for sure comfort food but nothing sits heavy and feels super fresh. Not a fan of coleslaw but it was super yummy and great corn fritters for our first time having them. Service was great. Ambiance was super informal and adds to the vibe of what you're eating. Also unrelated but the cashier/server has a super calming energy/presence/voice which totally added to the vibe

Came with slaw, 1x Side (Collard Greens: sweet vinegar with some heat, and a bit of pork, really good!), and some AMAZING Hushpuppies (fresh, sweet corn bread). Shrimp & Grits: Fantastic! Buttery and cheesy grits with sausage and nice shrimp (not over-cooked or chewy). Green beans were slightly too soft (30-mins until closing), but good comfort food. Coleslaw was "meh," but a good, crunchy foil to the fish and rice. Counter Service (order at register, then they bring to table/to-go) was quite fast, given that they had to cook the fish and prep foods for take-out. Everything looked clean, staff was nice, and owner was talking to everyone. Didn't get to try the variety of desserts, but they looked and smelled great. Traveling, but worth the stop!
