We visited this local pie shop downtown Columbia for a mid-day snack on Saturday. The exterior has…read morebeen recently painted and renovated complete with a new facade color and letters! It looks great! Upon arrival, we spotted a case of about 4-5 different pies. Some were whole pies and others had slices cut out. There was nobody at the counter and there was not really a sign explaining how they sale. A lady sitting at the window behind the kitchen asked "Do you need something? Are you getting a pie?" oddly, and didn't seem eager to help. Once she came around, we each (a family of three), got a single slice of pie and bottled drink. The total was $35. It felt a little steep for the size of pie and quality of service. Since we were out shopping and it was raining outside, it was also disappointing they only had one table inside to eat at-- which was occupied. I feel they could add another table or two near the front window-- or even a counter against the wall with stools. Service could also be better. I got the Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup pie. It was a traditional fudge pie with peanut butter drizzle across the top. It tasted very fresh and yummy. The pie crust had a great taste and the peanut butter was a nice addition to the rich and creamy fudge pie. I would return!

The online reviews for Pie Sensations are polarizing, either exalting the praises of this…read moreaward-winning pie shop with a five-star review or panning the place for being overrated. Realistically, I think it ranks somewhere in between, hence the four stars. At $8.78 per slice. including tax, the quality matches the price considering the cost of ingredients these days. Pie Sensations has quite the reputation in Middle Tennessee. It's located on the southwest corner of the adorable, vibrant square in Columbia, sandwiched between A Balloon Shop and Daniel's Barber Shop. You won't see the sign until you walk right up to the store. Delicious smells of baking pies fill this charming, deceivingly roomy space with a counter in front of the tiny kitchen, a display case, and a few tables. Personally, I'm a pie crust hater as it's often brittle and flavorless. But the crust at Pie Sensations is really good, perfectly flaky and complementary to the pies. I actually at the entire crust which is rare! There are two types of pecan pie in this world. Some prefer the rigid, thicker filling. Others like a gooey, almost liquid interior. While I prefer the thicker version, the very runny pecan pie at Pie Sensations was admittedly tasty, although not my preferred texture. It's properly sweet but not overly done with high quality and very fresh ingredients. The chess pie has that quintessential flavor of a southern classic, maybe not sweet enough for my taste but delicately balanced flavor for all palates. Their top seller, the chocolate turtle pie, was a bit too chocolatey for my personal preference. But again, the quality is obvious with a thick chocolate filling topped with caramel and pecans. While I wouldn't drive the hour from Nashville to Columbia again just to eat a slice of pie at Pie Sensations - unlike other remarkable destinations to which I'll eagerly drive three or four hours - I would encourage anyone near Columbia to sample this delicious and expertly made product! If you're in the area, it's a nice stop for dessert.

Quaint little ice cream shop adjoining Pucketts in downtown Columbia, TN…read more Good selection of flavors...of which we only tried a few. So a return visit is in order. I ordered a Turtle Brownie Parfait and my traveling companion chose a Minty Chip Milkshake. Both had "wowie-zowie" flavors, big and bold. Problem with my Parfait was that 3/4 of the dish was brownie, not bad if you're looking for brownie with a small scoop of ice cream. (Yes, their menu says, "Brownie bits, vanilla ice cream, pecans, more brownie bits, salted caramel and hot fudge drizzle, vanilla whipped cream, amarena cherry.") But I thought it might have more ice cream. The vanilla in it was good...just give me more. Minty Chip waas very very minty....so pretty darn good...but we didn't finish it. Definitely worth a stop and taste and enjoy. We plan to do so again.

This was my first time inside this Hattie Jane's location, but I have been to many others before…read more The inside looked clean and bright, with the addition of a vintage soda bar counter display behind the ice cream coolers. The flavors are unique and change seasonly, ranging from Chocolatey Chocolate, Toasted Pineapple, and my favorite-- Nana Puddin'. The flavors and atmosphere were nice, but the service fell short greatly for me. Below are some pros and cons from my visit today. Pros: *The flavor and texture are pretty good at the price. You're getting a good amount of unique ice cream, from locally sourced ingredients. *This location offers samples prior to scooping. I did not get a sample; however, the family in front of us did. The amount seemed like a large sample scoop. *The inside of the creamery has a variety of seating from tables, booths, and bar stool seating. This was nice on such a hot summer day. Cons: *Service was very poor. There was only one worker when me and my two parents came. The young lady was very hostile and it seemed she was trying to get people in and out of her store as quickly as possible-- there was a lack of customer service or hospitality. *My mom asked for a waffle bowl of ice cream with a caramel topping. The worker was very rude and said toppings are only allowed on ice cream in cups, but no type of cone. Maybe this should be posted for customers to know or staff could relay this nicer. *They have a large wall behind the ice cream counter of daily and seasonal flavors. Unfortunately, they were out of many of these today. You can't see the actual case until it's your turn, so it was disappointing to get up to the counter only for the worker to rudely tell you they're out of many of the flavors. Maybe these could be taken down when out of stock since the sign looked magnetic.

The only place here in Ashland City that I can find it is at The Dip, so I stopped by there today to pick some up.

They gave me the ice cream for free; doing this for first responders that have been working thru the winter storm. WOW--what an unexpected and generous gesture! I'm a dedicated fan and hope everyone that reads this will patronize this locally-owned business. God bless you!!

When we arrived, we were warmly greeted. Inside is clean with 4 tables for sitting inside to eat. The restaurant is small and cutely decorated. The display cases with meats, cheeses and different salads and condiments looked great. The deli meats for the subs is sliced very thin. We started with lasagna and garlic bread that Dave and I shared. The filling had beef and Italian sausage and it was delicious. The cheese pull was good and not too much. The red sauce was very good. 5/5 We ordered foods to go after eating the lasagna in store. I failed to take a picture of the lasagna. Suffice it to say it was inhaled quickly. We tried the eggplant panini in store too. Everything else was to go. I ordered a Bruno Sub and asked for roasted red peppers to be added. Honestly I couldn't taste the roasted red peppers as there weren't very many added. There was a thin slice of 1 onion ring on the sub so I couldn't taste any onion at all. For me that's a fail as I like to taste ingredients. 4/5 The eggplant panini came with a side of marinara. I have had eggplant panini's before and was anticipating this one. When I saw it, I was very disappointed. There were 2 very thin slices of eggplant inside a sub roll that had been put in a panini press or under bricks to smash the bread down. The only taste was bread. Marinara was good but couldn't rescue the panini. 1/5 We bought 1 arancini and it came with marinara. I heated it up along with the marinara. One bite in and I was sold. I would definitely go back and order arancini again. The meat inside was flavored well and the marinara made everything come together well. 5/5 We ordered a pastrami. For us there was way too much fat and we couldn't remove the fat like we can in a Jewish deli because this meat was sliced paper thin. 3/5 The potato salad was lacking in flavor to me. There was a significant amount of mayo in my opinion. Dave liked it. 3/5 The marinated artichokes were delicious and so were the white bean salad. 5/5 Dave ordered a Super Sub. It had 4 meats plus lettuce, tomato, and cheese. There was a tiny sliver of onion but we couldn't taste it. He loved his sub. 5/5 The two cannoli's were delicious. I favored the vanilla and Dave favored the chocolate. 5/5 We will return as the food was good. If you are missing an Italian Deli taste, please stop by. This place makes everything from scratch. It was worth the trip.

It was also pretty cool that there's different floors to eat on. We were on the 6th floor so the view was great. Our server was knowledgeable about Nashville so that was a great conversation with her. The food was mediocre - I had the avocado toast that did not have a lot of avocado but it was ok. I wanted an over easy egg but they only have scrambled eggs. My husband had scrambled eggs, potato's and bacon...again nothing special. Go for the view from the 6th floor!
