The Flying Biscuit Cafe in Columbia is widely praised for its flavorful Southern comfort food and vibrant, youthful atmosphere. Reviewers frequently highlight the grits bowls as a must-order item, often describing them as the best they've ever had. The staff is generally noted for being helpful and accommodating, particularly with accessibility needs, though some guests have reported inconsistent service levels and unprofessionalism. Sunday brunch is a popular time to visit, though it often comes with a lengthy wait for both a table and the food itself. While the menu is extensive and includes strong vegetarian and vegan options, some diners noted that food quality can vary, with specific praise for omelettes but mixed feelings on items like pancake tacos. Overall, it remains a favorite local spot for a lively and filling breakfast or brunch experience.
