Easter Sunday on the beautiful Main Street of Columbia, looking for somewhere classy and casual for the three of us. My meal was a BLT sandwich with fries all good hot and delicious. Our son's meal was a Ruben sandwich with fries. The fries were cold, top slice was cold and the bottom was soggy. Clearly, that had been waiting for my meal and sitting on the counter more about that later. But the piece de resistance was my wife's meal from the brunch menu list the Big Mama breakfast. Simply put, this was inedible. Now, I'm not one to leave food on any plate but when my wife gave up after about 20% consumed, there was nothing worth salvaging. One small piece of fried chicken on a biscuit with s...
The restaurant I planned to go to was full. What to do. I walked passes Michael’s, checked them out on Tripadvisor and decided to give it a try. Excellent move. The atmosphere is okay but the food was very good. I had the duck egg rolls and the fried rice, which came with a small but delicious side salad. The egg rolls were fresh made with a lot of duck meat and veggies topped with a chili sauce. Simply delicious. The fried rice was unique and very good. The service was very good as well. My meal and a glass of Cabernet cost me $33 plus tip. My thought to be misfortune turned into a delightful meal.
Family visit for lunch there are no regrets. The hostess wasn’t friendly when we arrived; no smile, no cheerful greeting. However, we looked around the patrons looked happy, chatting, food looked good, so we stayed despite her cold unfriendly greeting. We were taken to the Top Golf area. Max was our waiter he was attentively awesome during the entire visit. Smiling, cheerful, small talk, informative, patient; great waiter. The food was served hot delicious. My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our meals and the atmosphere. What a great visit we had; we shall return.
Michael's Cafe has recently been rebranded as Main Course and is located at 1600 Main Street, Columbia, SC. While the staff is friendly and pleasant, the condition of the bar, restaurant, and restrooms leaves much to be desired. There are issues such as peeling paint, cobwebs, and general cleanliness problems. Most importantly, the food lacks flavor. Additionally, if you’re going to serve chicken and waffles (which they call "birdie and waffles") at $16.00, it should definitely come with genuine maple syrup.

This is a nice place for lunch, though it is a bit on the expensive side. We shared the grand slam fries, Asian chicken wraps, boneless BBQ wings, and the chicken and waffle dish. Everything was delicious and came out quickly, but I felt it was a bit overpriced. The service was satisfactory, but nothing stood out. Overall, it was a good experience, but I'm not sure if we'll be rushing back.
We stopped in for drinks and appetizers and were not disappointed. The drinks were good with a nice beer selection and our food was very good. We plan to go back and have a full meal there asap. Also, the Top Golf setup in the back is really cool. Although we didn't have time to do it, it appears you can play virtual golf while you enjoy food drinks which looked like fun !!
Nice place to stop after visiting the Soda City Market with family. The server Matt did a great job handling the party of 7. They offered a variety of food from the brunch, lunch menu and dinner menu. Everyone in the party opted for lunch choices. The fold came out in a timely manner and everyone enjoyed it. We will definitely be back.
I visited Michael’s Cafe with friends after catching a movie. The service was excellent, and the food was very tasty. There’s a nice variety of dishes on the menu. I definitely plan to return the next time I’m in Columbia.
