So first and foremost, he's a butcher and raises his own livestock. He offers a wide selection of meats including filet mignon, ribeye, short ribs and ground beef. Just a few of the pork offerings are chops, bratwurst, ground breakfast sausage. And being spoiled to fresh fish, we were pleased to find a variety of wild caught salmon, snapper, mahi mahi, and halibut. The selection changes weekly subject to availability. Having opened this brick and mortar store in September, customers like us are just discovering it. And we say." A most welcome addition to Columbia TN!"

Everybody I know loves their Granny's collards best, but I swear that these are truly outstanding. The werewolf was great, I really liked the slaw/collard/mayo synergy, with a generous amount of roast beef. Service was great today, so I am assuming my previous visit was the exception. Every time I pass through (or near to) Columbia, I shall be back.

I have been recommended this place by multiple people throughout the years and finally got a chance to give it a try. (Well, I say that but mainly because I go to Gold's Deli everytime I'm in Columbia. So it was time to share the love) They have a pretty large menu of various sandwiches, I wish I had grabbed a picture of them. I asked the cashier if she had to pick one sandwich which one would it be, she gave me a list of about 3 that all sounded amazing. The fourth she suggested was if you're overwhelmed or unsure just get the Italian. I LOVE Italian sandwiches so that is what I ended up with. Everything here is fresh so I waited about 5-10 minutes for my sandwich to get made. I will definitely be trying out some of the more adventurous creations next time but this was so good. This Italian has a freshness to it that I have a hard time describing but their olive oil blend is lovely, the olives, banana peppers and lettuce helped with that fresh taste as well I'm sure. The bread is incredible! It taste house baked, crisp outer crust with a pillowy interior. The house chips were also really good and salted perfectly. The inside is cool, it's a microbrewery and there's subtle like alien themes throughout? Overall can't wait to try it out again, stop by if you're ever down in Columbia!

I like to support local businesses, but it's become obnoxious. Perfect example is they sell Masa Chips for $15 a bag. I have ordered them direct for months, @16 bags for $56, free shipping. Seriously, I am all for running a profitable business, but I stopped shopping there for a year, and finally went back for sausage just last week. I will again, go back to Semler Farms.

My friend & I could not resist popping into Savarino's -- its red brick two-storied exterior was…read morefar too interesting to resist. It's a humble little shop inside, but everything on the shelves appeared to be unquestionably authentic. Fresh pasta & sauces, balsamic vinegar, infused olive oils... Shops like these are a rare gem in the states, let alone Middle Tennessee! Originally propelled by curiosity to enter the store and not planning on purchasing anything, the baked goods became a nonnegotiable upon seeing them. We snagged a lobster tail filled with lemon whipped cream & a slice of carrot cake and rushed out to a picnic table to dig in! The lobster tail is the stuff of poems: The pastry was audibly crisp and flakey, and the inside was busting with a lightly citrusy lemon creme -- it tasted like a Spring day; like Easter egg hunting and lawn clippings and chicks hatching. I cannot wait to return and try a sandwich and a freshly filled cannoli!

I stopped in and felt like I time traveled to New Jersey which made me feel like I have a piece of home in TN now. They had authentic pastries that most Tennesseans probably have never heard of before. Classic options like Sfogliatella, black and whites, cannolis, rainbow cookies. A lot of good homemade options. They also have frozen meals that have prepped. I'd be curious to see how the sandwiches are as well. If you are from the north east and miss the bakeries back home this may be the only thing close in middle TN. Must try!

We ordered the burrata to start and it was absolutely incredible. 10/10. Next I ordered the cheeseburger. It was cooked to perfection! I'm more of a traditional pickle girl so I could have done without the bread and butter but overall this was a 5 star experience! Unfortunately.... Dinner: fast forward several weeks to coming here on a weeknight for a family birthday dinner. There were 7 adults and 3 kids so not outrageous in numbers. While the food was still good, 3/5 steaks were overcooked after waiting 1.5 hours for our food. I'd like to note that Adam, our waiter, was absolutely fantastic. He was so sweet with my 4 year old that loves to order himself and even brought him a roll when he asked if they had bread! He is the reason I'll give this place one more try as a tiebreaker because tonight, the kitchen just failed. I'll add in, this seems like a great place for a date night. Do not bring your children here. The wait time for any food coupled with not having a changing table in the bathroom tells me this is not a kid friendly place. Honestly if it weren't for our server, I would have considered leaving after our food hadn't shown up in an hour after ordering it.

Man was it WORTH it!!!! I had the two meat combo (brisket and ribs) with 2 sides, my wife had the smoked turkey with 2 sides. There were three thick slices of the best tasting brisket I have ever had along with a 1/2 rack of baby back ribs. Both were cooked to perfection. I also had the creamy coleslaw and baked beans which were also very good. Wife's smoked turkey was outstanding and her two sides mashed potatoes, and creamy coleslaw. She also had the potato salad which was also good. The only thing that was subpar was the cornbread. It was more like a pancake and had a very blah flavor. Get the Jalapeno's and pickle's with your meal if you get the cornbread to add some much needed flavor to it. It was the best BBQ that I have had in my three years here in Tennessee. It is a rustic place, you order and then find your table which is either a picnic table or a wagon wheel with a glass top. You also have the availability to purchase fresh cut meats and rubs in their shop. If your looking for large orders they have an outside ordering station also. We will absolutely be going back again. I very highly recommend this place if you love great BBQ. Just be prepared to stand in line and wait--but it is worth it.
