Alright, folks, gather ’round, because today I’m diving into the food court at The Mall in Columbia. I’ve been meaning to check out this place for a while now, and let me tell you, it was quite the adventure.
First off, I headed over to the mall bright and early. I wanted to beat the lunch rush, you know? I found parking pretty easily, which was a good start. Then I made my way inside, and the smell of all sorts of food hit me right away. It was like a symphony of deliciousness.
Exploring the Options
Now, this food court is massive. We’re talking tons of choices. I did a quick lap to scope out the scene. There’s your usual suspects like:
- Fast-food chains: You’ve got your McDonald’s, your Chick-fil-A, your Subway – the whole gang’s here.
- Pizza places: Gotta have that cheesy goodness, right? There were a couple of spots serving up slices and whole pies.
- Asian cuisine: I spotted a few places with noodles, stir-fries, and sushi. Always a solid choice.
- Other stuff: There was even a place selling gyros, and a couple of spots with salads and sandwiches for the healthier folks.
After my initial survey, I decided to go for some Chinese food. There was this one spot that had a huge line, so I figured it must be good. I waited for about 15 minutes, but it was worth it. I got a plate with orange chicken, lo mein, and some spring rolls. Man, it was tasty.
The Verdict
I sat down at one of the many tables scattered around and dug in. The food was hot, fresh, and flavorful. I finished every last bite.
Overall, I’d say The Mall in Columbia food court is a pretty good spot for a quick and satisfying meal. There’s a ton of variety, so you’re sure to find something you like. Just be prepared for crowds, especially during peak hours. I ended up spending about $12 on my meal, which is pretty standard for a food court. So, if you’re ever at The Mall in Columbia and your stomach starts rumbling, you know where to go. Bon appétit!
