Eighth & Main Burger Co. — Restaurant in Columbia

We had our first visit and it was a bit odd. Due to construction on the main road we parked at the rear entrance. Upon entering there was no greeting, staff just ignored us. There are no indications for ordering, seating etc at this entrance. After wandering around the place, another customer told me you had to go around a corner and down unmarked stairs to order. We had driven an hour to try the pork tenderloin sandwich. The cashier was very helpful and apologetic since we just starting the tenderloin marinade. They were also out of onion rings. We tried the goat salad and the devil went down to Georgia hamburger, crispy brussel sprouts as well as the fried pork skins. The pork skins were hot, salty and very good. The goat salad is exceptionally tasty. We highly recommend the salad. The brussel sprouts were good although I would have liked a little more of the glaze. We ordered the spicy version but really didn't pick up on the heat. The burger was okay. It was better than most chain restaurants but underwhelming. There was no detectable peach and it was a bit cool and dry. We did wait around for about an hour for the pork tenderloin. It was very good, crispy and generously portioned. It is an Indiana style tenderloin and worth the trip. Back to customer service....the cashier was also bringing out food, bussing tables and greeting customers. The kitchen staff seemed to really care about what they were serving. Just before we left we heard the non-helpful lady (who never acknowledged our existence) mention that it was her partner who wanted to add the tenderloin to the menu. That means the lady who gave us such a bad impression was the boss. Oh dear. We will go back and give them another try only because of the hard working crew and really good tenderloin. Management could learn quite a bit about customer service from the staff. Give it a try, just be vocal if you...

This place has some amazing burgers - and salads are pretty good too! First time I went I got their goat cheese salad and that was real good - basic but really good. Everyone else I was with got burgers and they said their food was amazing, so I had to come back. Next time I came I just got a classic cheeseburger and it did not disappoint. Very flavorful! The jalapeño goat cheese burger and their bbq burger are also quite tasty. Their fries are okay, but the Brussels sprouts and onion rings are real good. In addition, they had some home made cookies on the counter for sale and they were perfect (a bit surprising for a burger place). After a couple visits, my son told me this is his favorite restaurant and I’d have to say it’s one of the best burgers around. You might have to wait a bit for your food - but...

Fantastic new burger place in downtown Columbia! Came with three others at lunchtime for some burgers. We all got the pepper popper, and we all found it to be very tasty! There was a bit of heat maybe on par with a medium nashville or buffalo heat level. The bacon jam paired with the cream cheese and bit of heat is a delightful experience for your taste buds! Highly highly recommend this burger, will definitely be trying the devil goes down to Georgia next time I visit!

Would love to see some more burger types on the menu, maybe a BBQ style burger? Also, while I found the fries to be a good classic crinkle cut, I believe some fresh Chipperbec/Russet/Kennebec for fries would take this place to another level!

I am excited to see this burger establishment grow; I will definitely be a...
