Sound Bites Eatery

A quiet spot downtown with personality and delicious, fresh food. I love the selection of sandwiches and am determined to try them all! I've had a few different ones, but some top favorites from the current lineup are: "G.O.A.T. avocado toast", "Fig Pig", "The Twerkey Turkey", and "Stop. Hammy Time". I also really enjoyed the elusive egg salad brioche sandwich that I only got to try since it was the special of the week. A great lunch option that also offers special events and a fun space to meet up with friends.

Great surprise stop on our tour of USC. The Twerky Turkey sandwich was really good. The Pimento cheese was superb. Definitely a great spot for a quick fresh made lunch.

Seriously good food being served up here! I read in another review that the pistachio pasta is a must try...yes, I agree! It's so good. I also enjoyed the pimento cheese dip appetizer. The Ruben was very tasty. The tuna was good as well, especially the garbanzo bean salad that was the side. I'd get that by itself! Very nice vibe inside. If I had a long lunch break, it'd be a nice place to chill at 😎

There were so many items on the menu that I wanted to try, it was honestly difficult narrowing it down to just one dish. Thankfully, our waitress was super kind and told me her personal favorites. She definitely didn’t steer me wrong. I wound up choosing the G.O.A.T Avocado Toast and my gosh… I’ve never had such an amazing avocado toast before, and so filling, too! I also snagged their soup of the day which was a spicy Tomato bisque—yum!

Sound Bites downtown has been one of my favorite lunch spots in Columbia, and I wanted to get this review in before they close. This place was perfect for grabbing lunch with a group because there was always something for everyone, whether you wanted a classic sandwich, something lighter, or something a little different. I’m really going to miss their Reuben. They do it right, and it’s one of those sandwiches you think about later in the day. Everything always tasted fresh, the service was solid, and it was just an easy, reliable place to meet up and have a great lunch. One thing I also appreciated is the portion sizes. They’re satisfying without being huge, which is ideal for lunch when you still have the rest of the day ahead of you. Overall, just a really solid spot that I’m going to
