WHY EAT ORIGINAL?
Local, independently operated restaurants provide the soul and distinctive flavours of
food that help define a sense of place. We create unique menu items that are original to
Columbia and South Carolina.

We are your neighbors! Were truly a part of your community. Were quick to donate our time,
our facilities, our food and our staff to help local fundraising projects. We work to keep
our local economy strong and reinvest for the future.
The restaurant business is our passion. Our restaurants vary from white tablecloth and
upscale casual to sandwich shops and pizza parlors. We live our business, breathe it,
work in it and play in it. We love the art of presentation and the look of surprise on
your face when our plates come to your table. We strive for perfection in every recipe,
every dish and every table setting. We feel its our duty to support sustainable agriculture
and incorporate the freshest local ingredients into our offerings.
