Ozark Mountain Biscuit & Bar is an absolute gem. The food is outstanding and the atmosphere is warm, relaxed, and welcoming—the kind of place that makes you want to slow down and enjoy breakfast properly. The “What a Country Breakfast” is phenomenal, and the Gouda grits are hands-down the best I’ve ever had—rich, creamy, and perfectly balanced. Their buttermilk waffles are just as impressive: light, flavorful, and clearly made with care. Pair all of that with their fresh-ground coffee, and you’ve got a near-perfect breakfast experience. If you’re in Columbia and appreciate great flavor, quality ingredients, and a cozy vibe, this place is a must-visit. I’ll absolutely be back.

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Enjoyable experience at Ozark Mountain Biscuit Co. This place has a very well and thought out menu, everything from the food to the beverages is artistic. The service is always great no matter how busy it is and there is a nice patio for when the weather is right. The decor inside the restaurant is very inviting and the menu has lots of options where no matter your taste pallet, everyone will be able to find multiple options they like. Columbia is lucky to have this restaurant.

It was okay. Had buttermilk biscuits and sausage (can have a mushroom veg gravy option) gravy $9 with 2 eggs over-medium +$5. The eggs were quite runny yolk as in over easy but good. The first of 3 biscuits halves was hard, not fork cuttable - required a knife. The other two were soft. Light flavor to both gravy and biscuits - okay. I made the mistake of grinding table pepper on it that overpowered the light flavors completely. It was super pungent and a little floral that overpowered the dish. Skip the pepper. Their Louisiana hot sauce was the bomb and they had a house-made Serrano vinegar sauce that was also intriguing, flavorful and light. I added both to the whole plate and the Louisiana really keyed up the dish well. Had a draft winter Munich dunkel. Good color nice warm Carmel flavors just a touch of hoppy for a nice balance.
