First time trying and I will say it was a pleasant surprise. I give the food 4-4.5 stars, but our server, Emily, made me rate as a 5. Friendly atmosphere and you get ALOT of food for the price. Conveniently located off of I-77 (exit 24). I am always looking for a nice local option vs the chain restaurants. I will definitely eat there again

Hard to believe a restaurant attached to a gas station can produce such great food. My ribeye was delicious and cooked to perfection. There were eight of us in our group and they seated us together immediately and everyone loved their meal.

Better most around for sure. Hamburger steak needed a little more flavor and a little less time on the grill. Worth checking out though.

I happened to be in the area, and I was starving. I was choosing between subway and this place. I chose this and, boy, am I happy that I did. I picked a lunch special which was an eggplant rollatini over pasta, and it came with a salad. The service was great and fast. The dish was really good. I loved the sauce. It was a lot, so I had left overs for dinner, too!

Thank God I live in Blythewood and Scottie chose to open his restaurant here because the food is exquisite. Add to the list of "a good place to eat in NE Columbia". You won't be disappointed coming here. Last meal was Cheese Manicotti and before that it was a Greek Salad delivered to my home. Oh yeah, they deliver, too. A "MUST" visit! Family friendly.

We found this wonderful place on Yelp. They have a spaghetti diner so big we had to split it.i was the best I have had in a very long time. It had 2 - one pound meatballs. So good.

Best food in a restaurant attached to a gas station I've ever had. First visit I had the fried catfish, which was okay, but the second visit had the ribeye steak sandwich, which they knocked out of the park. Lots of things looked good and I'm definitely going back. If you are traveling through Columbia on I-77, it's just off exit 24.

Worthy of a Guy Fieri visit! All this, at a Gas stop. As an individual with culinary genetics, Spaghetti isn't a choice I gravitate towards on a first visit. However, my 8 year old was very interested and we decided we would split a plate. I am very glad for that choice. The seasoning was amazingly wonderful in their nicely cooked GIANT meatball. The spaghetti sauce was not overpowering, and not acidic, like some cheap sauce that others would have chosen. It was, delightful. DISCLAIMER: Bring an empty stomach! I will need to visit a few more times, as they had many yummy sounding options.

This place was an unexpected surprise. I was doing an Open House out in the NE and I was about to starve. I remembered that I had seen a little cafe connected to the BP Gas Station near the intestate. I thought I would just go in and grab a Hamburger to go. I went outside and made a few calls. I went back inside a few minutes later and my order was ready. They handed me this big heavy container. I was wondering what in the world was in that container. I only ordered a hamburger. Not even fries. Well I opened that container and there was this huge delicious looking hamburger in it. I knew there was no way I could eat that hamburger while driving, so I just went ahead and sat down. It was one of the best hamburgers I had ever had. I took some time to read the menu and then I got a menu to go. A week or so later I went back in with a friend and we got salads. They were so fresh and amazing. A few weeks later I went again. It's hard to believe such great food comes from a place connected to a gas station. The prices are good and the food is so good. Great service too. I highly recommend this restaurant.

As others have said, it's hard to believe a place so good is right next to a gas station! They had a wide variety of choices and the fajita salad and steak tips were really good. The corn bites were a tasty appetizers. The staff was incredibly friendly, service was fast and seating was quick. We didn't try the desserts, but they looked amazing!

Can't wait to go back. The variety on the menu still has my mouth watering. My hubby got the "monster burger" I believe that's what it was called. Since he doesn't eat red meat they accomodated him by substituting turkey burgers. I had the pork chop sandwich. Both were huge & delicious. On top of great food we received great service which is a big deal to me. I even got a t shirt on my way out. I agree Guy Fieri definitely needs to visit here.

Do not, under any circumstances, go to this restaurant......if you're on a diet. If you are not on a diet, and looking for great food with great prices then this is the best place in town. Ok, so people on a diet should definitely come here as well. I've eaten here several times in the last couple years, and have yet to finish a meal. Or, eat a meal I didn't like. Everything tastes like its homemade, and with quick service. We've always had great service. In fact we even made it a point to tip a bus boy one time because he went out of his way to help us with our then newborn baby. Good variety of meals, with fresh food. Good family environment. This is Blythewoods hidden gem.

Ok folks, we've lived here in NE Cola for 11 years now. Hit many of the restaurants and I'd not heard of this one until last week when our neighbors mentioned it. Who would have thought that you'd find this jewel of a restaurant attached to a gas station! The menu is extensive. They have about anything you'd want: Pizza, Seafood, Steaks, Sandwiches, Wraps, Desserts, Greek food, appetizers, beer/wine and sodas. The amount of food you get for the price is truly amazing. I've not seen anything like it in Columbia yet. There were four of us and we each ordered something different. Hamburger Steak with with mashed potatoes and gravy, Salmon with rice and vegetables, Pizza and I had the special Catfish and fries. Three of us ordered the Greek salad. Our neighbor loved the hamburger steak with gravy and mashed potatoes. His wife said the salmon was also very good. My wife and I are from Chicago area so we are sort of biased on our pizza. The waitress recommended the pizza and said it was the best. We thought it was sort of bland and lacked a little salt. We prefer Marcos/Danos/Uno's over what we had last night. I ordered the fried catfish and fries. This is the most catfish that I've seen down here in Cola. Three large pieces ( and I mean large), that were done perfectly ($8.95). I had to have a doggy bag to take half of it home. The Greek salad was very good but the greek salad dressing was a little too tart for me. Next time I'd order it but ask if they had some type of a creamy greek dressing. Their dressing is the original greek style dressing, but I've gotten more used to the creamy greek style that Pontiac Pizza or Bobby's House of Pizza (closed) served. We had to try the desserts. They have a number of cakes in the display at the entrance. Our neighbor ordered some type of chocolate cake with a liquor in it and a large strawberry on top. She loved it. We tried the Pina Colada Coconut cake and it was very light and very good. They had a Prime Rib special for $16.95 that looked really good. We got there at about 6:40 and had about a 10 miinute wait. I hear it gets crowded and I can see why. If you venture out to Blythewood area you need to stop in and try this place out. We'll be going back for sure.

This place is a hidden gem. Hands-down the best food and prices anywhere in the Columbia area. Along with great tasting food and portions.

The super grind sub is my absolute favorite. Well, their pizzas, subs, salads, and lasagna are all my favorites. Additionally, their customer service is superb!!!

I tried this little cafe a couple years ago with my grandmother and we really enjoyed the food. I have no idea why I forgot about it! Living in the rural area of ridgeway, you must plan for the common pizza night. A friend brought Scottie's pizza to a party and it was great. I wanted to try it again! Now I plan my pick up pizza night around Scotties. The staff is also super friendly. Try it!

Second time for lunch. This is a great place to stop for lunch if heading south from Roanoke to FL. Barbecued Beef Brisket Sub at 6.99 is a bargain.It was the special of the day. Pizza looked yummy and smelt so good.

Stopped by on a trip to Charleston. Trusted the Yelp reviews and so delighted we did! I had the most delicious (and huge!) cheesesteak salad and kids split a meatball inferno special, in a bread bowl! Hard to believe food this tasty can come from something attached to a gas station! Yum!

Very accessible from 77, don't be deterred by it being attached to the BP. Chicken Philly and the Grinder were great. The small (8in) is huge, had to take half with me. Kids loved the grilled cheese and chk fingers. Very friendly and good service. Only negative is that the French fries don't have any flavor and sort of mushy.

This place will be sure to impress!!! This place has amazing food, both in taste and quality! Any time I'm in town visiting family, I'm sure to bring them here! I'd recommend this place to anyone as there are options on the menu for all!

Went in on a busy Friday night. Seated right away but took a while to get waited on. We ordered the Hamburger steak and a bacon cheeseburger. It took about 45 minutes to get our food which might have been understandable with how busy they were, but the couple next to us that came in at the same time was almost done with their full dinner by the time we got ours. Both burgers were kind of over cooked and dried out and the fries were greasy. Not impressed. They do seem to serve a lot of pizza though, so we'll probably try them again and get the pizza.
