CMM has curated and published Soda City’s restaurant guide since 1990, and in that time the Columbia Metropolitan area has exploded with a growing and diverse restaurant scene. New restaurants add new flavors to Cola’s food offerings, building upon momentum from long-time local staples. This recent restaurant boom across the Midlands has established South Carolina’s Capital as a foodie city, and CMM is proud to celebrate the incredible culinary talent and hospitality offered in Soda City!
The following listing represents our readers chosen favorites. Read through for ideas on your next meal out, and discover why Columbia is a Southern foodie destination. Bon Appetit!
