Just Us Cafe is everything you want from southern cooking. Great tasting, quick, and best of all, cheap. It's not very often you can go to a restaurant and get a full meal for under $6, especially if that meal consists of fried chicken, lima beans, Mac & cheese all with a biscuit on the side. Don't go for atmosphere. Go for the food. If you haven't been, GO. It's sure to knock your socks off. read more

This is a great breakfast house because of what they do; quick seating, fast service, and good food, reasonably priced. Don't come for the setting or the atmosphere. If you expect Denny's, but a few levels higher, you will be happy. The menu is easy, and the offerings are wide enough to make most people happy. We enjoyed our visit here. read more

This place is awesome. First time here, visiting from DE and was very impressed. Food is fabulous, comes out hot and it's down home goodness. Service was impeccable! They were very friendly & fast. Everyone in here is happy. Super impressed! Wish I could personally tell the owner how impressed we were. Thanks Just Us Cafe for a great experience. read more

I used to love this place. I loved that it seemed down to earth and family owned. Visiting recently the food and service have gone downhill. Seems like the ingredients aren't as high quality as they used to be. Additionally, I'm concerned about the negative environment. They are pretty extreme and actively support racism. So disappointing when this used to be a welcoming place. read more

The food is good and service from some of the wait staff is great. The other few act like they could care less if you ever came back. You know who you are. Abby is fantastic! Your political views are an American right and so is my choice to never visit your establishment again. I don't care what they are until you are in my face with them. The bumper stickes in the restaurant the Trump tee shirts were overlooked but the article in the Free Times just showed that you don't care about the people who like your restaurant and who disagree with you about your politics. My family and I will never be back. read more

chimo93@hotmail.com Fast and friendly service, generous portions, and excellent home fries according to my dining partner (I had the grits which were also great). Wonderfully local spot! read more

This is an honest, hard working diner, reminiscent of the diners of the midwest. I ate breakfast on a Sunday morning at the bar. There's a line by 9:00am that steadily grows after that, so time yourself. This is a diner, which means they serve good, solid, stick-to-your-ribs meals that provide enough fuel to go out and chop down a forest. Nothing fancy, but well done, through years of practice. The service is friendly and quick. None of that "it's not my job" attitude here, they work as a team and get it done. I know, I was sitting at the bar and watched them in action. My coffee cup was never empty, at least three people asked how I was doing. I felt like part of their family with "honey", "sweetheart", etc interspersed throughout my interactions with the wait staff. Tables are bussed as soon as you stand up - kudos to those gentlemen too. And please give hem a break, the servers move non stop. If your jelly bowl doesn't have strawberry, try grape for once - these people are busy humping great trays of steaming hot food to someone. They'll be back to see you as soon as they're able. And don't forget a good tip, after all, you're already getting great value for your dollar. They work twice as hard as some of the fru fru places I've eaten and I'm as guilty of leaving tips based upon the percentage of the bill as the next guy, and that's after putting up with attitude, but these people work hard, always have a smile and deserve more than the standard amount. read more

A great old fashioned mom and pops diner. The portions are HUGE and the prices are pretty amazing. The customer service and friendliness of the staff are little things that really stick out and bring a little cheer to your day. Over the weekend it will be packed so plan for a wait and don't forget to sign your name on the notepad on top of the bubble gum machine! You won't regret going here read more

Wait staff was wonderful and friendly. The food was amazing. I had lunch my brother had breakfast and both of us cleaned our plates. I can't wait to come back and try the French toast. I had the country friend steak, Mac, and fried okra; comes with a biscuit. So yum! read more

A very racial insensitive establishment. The food is mediocre and service is terrible.

Hidden gem of Columbia. Must-go for college students. You can get a good home cooked meal at prices cheaper than most drive thru meals. The line wrapped around the restaurant is proof in itself. read more

Smiling faces, great service, and a yummy breakfast! On the craziest days the wait can be overwhelming but it moves really quickly and is worth it. read more

basic breakfast, basic diner decor, great prices--and best of all: great vibe. Expected the servers to have big hair and that was my only disapointment. Good grits, good coffee. Bathroom yukky, which is true with most dive-y places. Clean, but you know, yukky. I'd go back! read more

VOTE ME&FOLLOW Visited: 2.25.18 our first visit Food: **** Drink: had water Service: ***** awesome! Attire: casual Pro Tip: For newcomers, you must sign yourself on the waiting list (your name + # of party) My wife heard from others that this spot is a happening place. It was packed the moment we arrived, from parking to a long waiting line that moved pretty smoothly (about 20min wait with a dozen people ahead if us). My wife had scrambled eggs, sausage patties, hash browns and a biscuit. She said it was pretty good. i had steak and eggs, hashbrowns and a biscuit. Everything on my plate was great except that the steak was well done when I asked for medium well- I was so hungry I ate it anyway. *Biscuits are pretty good here, soft and fluffy! We will definately be back for more. read more

This place has tons of regulars it's the kind of place where everybody knows your name. I love the French toast and bacon. But today I'm having a steak and salad breakfast. Yes that's weird I know. The food is always good down home, and the bacon is the best. read more

This is mine and my husbands favorite local place to eat! There is usually a wait but it moves quick. The food is amazing, they have the best pancakes I've ever had in my entire life. Everything is cheap and you get a ton of food. We go almost every week! Employees are attentive and friendly. We have never had a wrong order and our drinks are constantly refilled. read more

Just good basic no frills country cooking! The food comes out fast(even when they're packed which is most of the time), well seasoned not bland like most mom and pop country breakfast establishments. Great value for your money as the portions are thought out well and fill the plate that it comes on. As is with any great southern country breakfast place that's worth their salt all of the staff are kind, considerate and very hardworking! The atmosphere is laid back and not crazy although the dining room is always packed and people are coming/going for to go orders. I would suggest something for y'all to try but literally everything is good so just try what you like and it'll be great! read more

Don't go here if you believe COVID-19 is real. No one was wearing a mask--no patrons and not a single worker. There were no tables closed, either. Just a packed diner with people sitting back to back and side to side, all breathing all over each other. So shocking we had to get up and leave. read more

Great food and down home staff. Picking up bright tanks for Crooked Rooster Brewery and needed breakfast. You wull not be disappointed. Long line moves quickly. Be sure to put your name on the gumball list. read more

Food and service is excellent for the price point. Even when they're slammed they keep up the pace without long waits. Would only wish either or both they wiped the menus on occasion or patrons would be more careful to not somehow spill food and beverages on them in the first place. Also highly suggest the biscuits and gravy. read more

The food is always hot and delicious at Just Us Cafe. It's a local place that usually has people waiting to be seated. Don't worry the wait is not that long and it will be worth it. It was my teenage children talking about this restaurant that got me to give it a try. It's located near their school and they go frequently for breakfast and lunch. Portions are large, food is hot and prices are inexpensive. Over the last couple of months I tried waffles, pancakes, gravy biscuits, corned beef hash, fried flounder, along with grits and eggs. I love the hash browns and choose cheese and onion most of the time. Definitely give my recommendation. By the way, servers are attentive and friendly. read more

I haven't been in awhile but was a regular for many months. good food, nice staff, pricing is good, large portions.

Hadn't eaten here in ages, but saw some folks on Facebook this morning talking about them, and decided to see what the fuss was about. Service was fast and friendly. Even though the parking lot was full, and almost every table was occupied, I only had to wait a couple minutes to be seated. The food was excellent, and the omelette was almost too much to finish. read more

Just Us Cafe is the epitome of what you would think when you hear the phrase "Southern Diner". Great diner food, great down-home atmosphere, and great service all combine into one great place to get breakfast. It has a certain charm about it, that you just expect at any moment for a big guy with curly hair to walk in and everyone to say "Norm!" in unison. They feature a classic diner menu, with southern twists that are all delicious. Reasonably priced as well, one of the cheapest, and most delicious brunches I've had in Columbia. Be sure to check it out. read more

Any place that calls me "darling", "sugar", "baby", "honey", "sweetie" & my favorite "sugar-babe" is all right by me. A simple diner-type place. Breakfast all day, home-style Southern dishes & genuine care for their patrons. I would eat here every day if I could (except Mondays, they're closed). Pancakes are fluffy, sausage/bacon is perfectly cooked, hashbrowns are cooked to order & coffee is plentiful. Plus, you can easily get out of there for less than $10 after tip. One of my favs!!! read more

My husband and I first time eating at this establishment and we could not be more pleased. Customer service was excellent and the food was delicious. And you get all of this for a very low price. Will definitely visit again!! read more

All the food is homemade, delicious and reasonably priced. I loved the smoked sausage and onion sausage the best.

This place deserves 1000 stars. Best priced food I've ever seen and it is amazing. Best breakfast food I've ever had. They load you up too. Southern hospitality literally at its finest. The nicest servers in the world and they're on top of it. Quick service, food comes very fast, you hardly have to wait if you put your name on the list. They all work together too. I've never encountered one in a bad mood or one not being friendly. It's truly unbelievable. No wonder they're always packed. They do it right. Kudos to their manager or owner for instilling this culture into their business. Can't say enough about this place. Update to this: the bathrooms are cleaner and smell better than half the upscale places I've been to! read more

Great country breakfast. Always happy staff. Wait but usually short time. Meat and veggies at lunch yummy. Wish I could eat there by everyday. read more

I ordered ultimate omelette and it was pretty good. I didn't care for the hash browns. The atmosphere was very welcoming. As a matter of fact no one even greeted us as we walked in. I'm a very friendly person so it takes a lot for me to say I didn't feel welcomed. It was my first time there and I'm pretty sure my last time. If you aren't a regular you are not made to feel welcomed. read more

Best omelets and ambience in town! Definitely a repeat customer!

Best restaurant in the south for breakfast and lunch! Service is fast and friendly! Food is amazing and delicious! I've been going to this restaurant for almost 3 years and haven't had an issue. They have made a customer for life. Thank you! Tips- please keep in mind this restaurant is busy and always packed! Be a little patience. I promise it's worth every second! read more

No masks, good food, cheap eating, and friendly service.

Best breakfast in town they support our president Donald Trump greatest president of all time. Eggs were light and airy and fluffy and melted In My mouth. Sausage was spicy and coffee was strong. Love their sign as well read more

One of my new favorite breakfast spots. They are packed no matter the day but it's so worth it. Going with family on the weekends for a late breakfast and during the week for a quick breakfast on he go. Very reasonably priced and tasty. read more

I've been wanting to try this diner for a while now and I finally got a chance this morning! I went around 10am and we waited for only a few minutes before we were seated. The restaurant appeared to have a ton of regulars who joked around with the staff. This made the feel of the place super laid back and friendly. Our waitress was nice and quick to greet us. I decided to order the short stack of pancakes with a side of hash browns. When it came out the portion size was large and the food was hot. Most importantly it all tasted great! I'm excited I finally ate here and have a place for bruch! Go and try it you won't be disappointed! read more

Super affordable breakfast and lunch spot in town! They really make you feel at home at Just Us. The food comes out in decent portions and tastes amazing every time. The wait can be long on weekend mornings but it's worth it. read more

I've only been here a couple of times and have nothing negative to say about it. My friends and I enjoyed our meal. I do have something to say about people who hate monger and are armchair political activist. This is not the place to say those things though. I prefer to be face to face. People are more respectful when you're talking to them face-to-face. read more

Went there while living in Columbia for two years. The breakfast/ brunch scene in Columbia iamazing and with so many options I would not pick this one. The food is good enough, but they ended up telling a large portion of people to "f@@@ your feelings". With so many other options I'd rather go where I don't have to be worried about being told to F@@@ off for having a different political view. Edit: telling me I'm welcome after deleting mine and every other comment that pointed out your bad behavior and blocking anyone who disagreed with you You can't literally tell hundreds of customers to Foff and F your feelings and then tell them they are welcomed read more

Came for lunch with a few coworkers and it's a quaint little cafe/diner. There were quite a few people there by the time we got there so it was a decent wait to get a table. Once we did, the waitress was very nice as she patiently waiting for my party to be ready with ordering. I ordered off the lunch menu but a few of my coworkers ordered off the breakfast menu. Overall the prices were low and the portions were decently large. It did seem like the things off the breakfast menu were better than off the lunch menu. I had the fried chicken which had small meat portions and lacked the taste of southern cooking I expected but made up for in the sides. The breakfast group had more food for less, and the pancakes were huge! Overall it was good food, but I do suggest going after the breakfast menu than the lunch side. read more
