Compton's Kitchen - West Columbia

Went here for breakfast with a friend and wanted to try a bit of everything. Ordered the corned beef hash breakfast that came with 2 eggs and the choice of grits, hashbrowns or sliced tomatoes, and either white/wheat toast or a buttermilk biscuit. I ordered the eggs to be scrambled, chose the grits, and got the biscuit. I also ordered a short stack side of pancakes and a coffee, which was cheap at $1.69. The grits were amazing white corn grits and finely ground, the biscuit was fluffy, and the eggs were great. The highlights, though, were the pancakes and the coffee, and the hash was a bit disappointing, being too salty, which was also a bit of an issue in terms of my biscuit. In short, the food was quite good, with definite highlights, and I need to mention the restaurant setting and service. The waitresses here were impeccable. They were so nice and respectful, and I must have been offered a coffee refill every time they passed our table, which was a lovely note. Plus, the restaurant had charm to it with its age (feels like its stuck in the 70s or 80s, maybe, I'm not sure). I really recommend a visit here, and to order the pancakes, coffee, grits, and eggs

This is a great hidden gem. Everyone of the staff members, esp the cashier, were extremely friendly. You're greeted upon entering the building. I watched them interact with other customers and they knew names and took care with each thanking them for their business and asking them to come again. I ordered take out and did not wait long before having my order. My food was fresh when I got home, even though I made several stops. Everything was cooked to my specifics and I had more than enough to share with my mom. If you're looking for a cozy spot to eat for breakfast or lunch or need a catering service check this place out. Prices are reasonable either way.

Beautiful restaurant! I had a really nice breakfast here! I’d recommend for everyone to come here. I love the local restaurants! Everyone was so friendly. Thank you Comptons Kitchen we can’t wait to return, we enjoyed!

Wow what a delicious breakfast!! The service was incredible! It was my first time eating here but they made you feel like a member of the family right of the bat!!

Staff was so nice! It's exactly what it advertises no frills country cooking. All the servers took care of recommending dishes, bringing beverages and refills, and delivering food. Food came out hot and delicious. I ordered the baked spaghetti special with 2 sides sweet potato casserole and broccoli casserole. It comes with 2 biscuits or cornbread. I added on sweet tea and the bill was $11 plus tip. Nice staff, nice food and unpretentious environment.
