The Bourbon Gospel

My wife and I have been here twice, and it is just outstanding. Both times I’ve had the shrimp and grits, and it tastest like Charleston! We were delighted with each course. She loved her hamburger on our first visit much more than enchilada on the second visit (I agree with her that she does a better job with enchiladas at home, and tortillas that are not homemade are almost always disappointing). The appetizer and dessert (which we rarely order) were both real delight and truly well done. This is our go-to date night in Columbia.

The Bourbon Gospel was suggested to us by family and the whole experience was amazing! We attended a singers/songwriter night which was like a live podcast. The music was fantastic and the evening was warm enough to sit on the back patio which was intimate and rustic at the same time. Tucker, our waiter, had great food and drink suggestions. Everything we tried was delicious beginning with the deviled egg sampler and especially the shrimp and grits. The drinks were fun and tasty as well.

Amazing food. Think elevated bar food. Fabulous cocktails mixed perfectly. The atmosphere, vibes, and service were fantastic. Our server had great recommendations and was so helpful. We got the burrata, the burger, the steak, and the almond cake. Drinks were Dolly’s Bathwater, The Gospel Truth, and the Balletine Old Fashioned, and they were all great. Would highly recommend all and everything we got. The bar area is intimate with low lighting, which was great for us. We didn’t even make it to see the patio area or upstairs but could hear the live music. And then the check was brought in an old church hymnal! We loved it! Can’t wait to go back!

One of the best restaurants I’ve gone to so far! It’s small and quaint but it’s up there with places like Cork n Cow, Red Pony and maybe even Kayne Prime. This gem in downtown Columbia, Tn has such an amazing vibe and it was the perfect place to take my daughter Bella to celebrate her 21st birthday before going out dancing. What an amazing dinner and experience! The food was delicious and service was amazing! Tucker our server was so fun and he genuinely cared and celebrated with us to the point he had the whole restaurant singing Happy Birthday to my daughter. A huge thank you to everyone at The Bourbon Gospel! We will definitely be coming back and referring all of our friends and family.

My husband and I tried The Bourbon Gospel for our anniversary dinner tonight. We couldn’t have been more pleased with this little gem of a spot. The staff is so personable and made us feel so welcome. The food was fantastic. It was one of the best shrimp and grits I’ve ever tasted. Columbia has a hidden treasure with this spot. Couldn’t recommend more.
