Reviews of Fancy That Bistro & Catering (Catering)

Robert Coffey

Come here! This is a small local favorite! You can get a good meal (breakfast or lunch)) that doesn't cost an arm and a leg. It's not a fancy hipster place, nor would I consider it a hole-in-the-wall. It's cozy and clean. The service makes me feel like I'm in a small family-owned diner that cares about everyone that walks through the door.

I was recently in Columbia, South Caroina for Hurricane Florence and needed to feed 44 tree men . Not only did they accommodate us, they also opened early and stayed open 3-4 hours late every night to make sure that all of my men were feed. The food was always delicious and the staff were amazing, especially Harvey the owner, Marissa and Britley. A big thank you from all of us at Tress LLC. I recommend this little bistro to everyone. You will not be disappointed. Amazing staff and amazing food.

Davis Cameron

Food is good. You get an ample portion for the price. Atmosphere is not that great.

Kenny Wiggins

Great breakfast sandwiches, wraps, and plates. Great place for lunch and Philly cheesesteaks.

Goldie Chaney

Pricey for home cooking and not grandma home cooking

The Extroverted introvert

Awesome loaded omelet! So good

Sonya Turner

Great food & reasonable prices

Richard Baldwin

Some work folks and I gave this place a try for lunch recently. I must say that we were disappointed. The menu had a number of intriguing options such as Italian dishes, Greek dishes and sandwhiches. I would call the food cafeteria grade and not much more. There are many better options on and around Main Street.

The food was great and reasonably priced. The young lady that waited on me was not particularly Pleasant or helpful. It's a small restaurant and good help is hard to find

I have ordered delivery several times and walked to this establishment from my office. The most recent time I ordered delivery, I asked the associate to let me know when they were at my office and I would meet them downstairs to get my food. I ordered for myself and 2 other coworkers. After waiting 1.5 hrs and calling twice, I found out that the delivery associate came to my office and did not call me to inform me that she could not get upstairs(I never asked her to come upstairs). INSTEAD, she returns to Fancy That with my food. If I didn't call for another update I would not have known anything. I called and asked for a refund and initially the manager told me he could not give me a refund because the food was cooked. I told him that was unacceptable considering I never received notifications from the delivery associate indicating she was at the building. Finally he agreed to give me a refund. So what I ordered for breakfast never came and it's time for lunch. #HANGRY

I met my daughter for lunch, she had been ranting and raving about the place. She was right, it is great. I have the Columbia Cheesesteak with chicken, delicious! The service was fast, friendly, and our order was exact. You should definitely eat here!

Ann Buckley

we had food cater for my daughters baby shower awsome thank you so much

Bradley Coates

The peeps working here are super sweet. You can get a mimosa for $3 and enjoy their outdoor seating with no pressure. They are cranking out breakfast plates left and right, but since I had already eaten at Soda City market, I played catch-up with my buddy whom I hadn't seen in about a month! Adorbs little spot with very friendly waitstaff, clean bathrooms, and it's all very walkable to and from Main Street.

Austin Roney

Wonderful staff, great food, and great prices. Would recommend to anyone in town

Lydia Pappas

This is a great little hidden away diner style cafe. Wonderful flavors and great prices for some good comfort food. A new go-to place for solid tastes and atmosphere. Wish I had found it sooner.

Jason Miskin

Great food especially breakfast. Super nice staff and the food comes out piping hot. The breakfast wraps are so good. Definitely would come here again!

Cheryl Walters

Busy place with fast and friendly service. I had the French Toast with fresh fruit on the side and bacon. The presentation was very good. I liked the French Toast and loved the taste and crispness of the bacon. The fruit was not fresh, grapes and pineapples so I didnt care for it. It is a small place connected to a parking garage and major hotel downtown Columbia. The staff was warm and welcoming. The prices are equitable and they do have multiple options for breakfast, brunch and lunch. I do recommend this spot.

Sean Mcknight

Fresh, high quality, and delicious food. Everything is great on the menu, but the Chicken Bog is the best I have ever had.

Lindsay Fain

Was super at communication up to the event. I priced around and their pricing was the best, especially for what you get and their variety of options. We had a brunch wedding so we had shrimp and grits as the main and they provided a bloody mary/ mimosa bar. I have received SO many compliments on the food and I have already had friends book them for jobs. They were also outside on the hottest day of the year and didn't complain once- they were pleasant the entire time! Would definitely recommend and will use again in the future!

Lauren Tomme

The food was really good and the service was great! This is a great place if you want a quick and yummy breakfast!

Stephanie Bolton

Food was decent quality, hot and quick! Friendly staff. Nothing special to report overall. I stopped in because it was close to my hotel, and I'd just gotten into town for a conference and didn't really feel like wandering around the neighborhood looking for restaurants.

B. Lee Greer, Jr.

They catered our holiday luncheon at work and was very well received.

Magdalena Shaffer

Harvey, the owner was a great host. Very friendly and attentive. The waitress was so sweet. Even though it was crazy busy. She always smiled and courteous. Will definitely be back!!

Kemani Nichole

Terrible service. The food was not bad but the service is horrible. You order a sandwich. A omelet. French toast and shrimp and grits. No jelly no syrup no plastic ware nothing but the food. I requested condiments and the manager told me I didn’t have to eat the food. The food I just paid and waited 45 min for. Smh I won’t but coming there or ordering from there again. Smh.

Geoffrey Giles

My wife and I come here every Saturday morning after getting vegetables from Soda City Farmers Market. Hands down they’ve got some of the best breakfast in Columbia. Their pimento cheese is awesome, and goes really well on a bacon egg and cheese croissant.

William Jackson

The food there is phenomenal! Highly, highly reccomend! 5 STARS!

Thomas Beaty

Fish tacos were superb.

John Callaghan

An early Sunday breakfast visit, before the busy time. Service was friendly, but a little distracted. A reasonable choice for standard breakfast fare.

Janet Hill

A Delicious Surprise! 2 thumbs up to Fancy That Bistro. I was looking for a grillled chicken sandwich with something other than fries as a side. Less than 10 min wait placing my order in restaurant and during peak lunchtime demand. Fresh, hot grilled chicken that tasted great and wasn't smothered in spices. Absolutely incredible fried okra - fresh, not greasy - my mom would have been proud to serve. And lucky me!-chocolate brownie with fudge icing. OH my gosh good!

Daniel Garcia Casillas

Great brunch place during soda city farmer's market. Mimosas!

Dennis Davis

Great bunch spot, beautiful views from outside seating. Food is great to and prices are decent

Jason Gunter

Eat there almost once a week. Have an awesome bacon cheeseburger.

Nestled in an alley off of Hampton street in Columbia SC is a gem of a restaurant. We saw signs for the restaurant while shopping at the Soda Market. We were welcomed by friendly staff. We ordered the double Mimosas. I got the Shrimp and Grits with fried green tomatoes (my first time trying the tomatoes. It was worth the wait for a seat.

Hub 0316

Met friends here and most of us had lasagna & salad special. One had the Chicken bog and raved about how good it was. Yesterday I enjoyed the ten fried shrimp w/onion rings. All crispy and delicious because they were breaded and fried here to order. Next week I plan to get lasagna again!

Gregg Erickson

leanne whitlock

Yummy fried green tomatoes

Chris Reynolds

Great restaurant. The food never disappoints and you can't beat their prices.

Ashley M

Breakfast was great. French toast was excellent. Mimosa with grapefruit juice, lovely. My omelette was banging. Unfortunately, they ran out of pancake batter, but the French toast seniority made up for it

Roy Shelley

Excellent food in a no-frills, diner-like locale. Fairly small with limited seating. Foam plates & plastic dinnerware. Reasonable prices. Shrimp and Grits had plenty of Shrimp, spiced just right, and creamy grits. French toast was regular bread (not the thick kind) but was four slices. Breakfast wraps had onions and peppers and was very tasty. Sunday morning crowd was mainly college students.

Brandi Hammond

Great little blink-and-you-missed-it place! Fast service, great food. It is always cool when you find a surprise in your own town that has been right under your nose the whole time.

Jane Peterson

Delicious. Excellent service and great price as well!

Stephanie James

Soooooo good.

Trey Perry

Food was awesome. Service was very slow but what can you expect from an awesome bistro on a Sunday morning. I'll definitely be back

ROB

I live close by and got a I am hungry patter. I was very satisfied!!

Alan Smith

The food is great, I usually get a burger. It's close to work so generally call ahead, and never have to wait long. Staff is very friendly, and always have a great attitude.

Amir Yosef

Food was good and prices are reasonable. local. not very clean or fancy. Waiters are nice.

C benson

Updated May 2019: My husband and I still come here for the best breakfast in Columbia!! Every Saturday after Soda City veggie pick up. Can’t beat the price and friendly service. My husband and I go to Fancy That! for Saturday breakfast as often as possible. Great coffee and even better food for a price you just cannot complain about. But recently we had them cater our wedding here in Columbia, South Carolina and I have to admit they blew us away. The food was amazing. They also handled our bar as well and we were very happy with everything they provided. Fantastic service and again at a great price. We just love Fancy That! and recommend them to everyone we can. Best Chocolate Covered Strawberries EVER!!!

Mr X

I'm trying to be the most respectful I can, but my first experience here is my last. The "chicken tenders" were chewy, like they were frozen and then cooked fast and the hot sauce and grease basically made all of the breading / coating soaked. The onion rings breading were also soaked and wet with too much grease and not crispy at all. I should of thrown all away, as I feel sick to my stomach now.
