Hampton Place Café

One of my favorite lunch spots in downtown Columbia! Family owned restaurant and the food is always made to order. They typically have someone who will deliver orders to businesses downtown which an added bonus.

Ordered online via EatStreet for 12 p.m. Part of multiple orders. Order - Hummus Plate, Soup of the day and drink. All I received was a tea and a few pieces of pita bread. Delivery guy tells me I need to submit a ticket online for refund, because they were out of my item. So 12 p.m. I not only don't get my food, but now I get to talk EatStreet into giving my money back and searching for somewhere else to eat. Instead of simply calling and telling me ahead of time and facilitating a refund. Bad business model.

The food here is some of the best lunch fare I've had in Columbia so far. Prices are affordable, you get a lot for your money, and there's an awesome selection for vegetarians, vegans, and meat-eaters alike. I will never stop coming here, one day I'll even pop by with some coworkers!

I've been eating here for more than a decade, and the quality of the food and the service never disappoints! Straightforward and affordable menu with enough variety to not get bored. Hali Cali in the summer and Lasanga or Nachos in the winter (or soup!). Also, Feta Ranch is the best "side" to order to dip your corn chips in - YUM!

Pretty small indoor dining area, but outdoor seating is available. We usually get carry out because we work nearby.

Honestly, I'd like to say a big THANK YOU to the Hampton Place crew for staying open over the last year. We hope you are doing well and will be with us for a long time.

Superb Deli-Style sandwiches. Sandwiches were packed with fresh tasting deli meat. The turkey and roast beef are mouth watering. My partner has a Greek Salad with their own home-made Greek dressing that is seasoned just right. Sandwiches come with 2 sides. Service is fast and the workers are very friendly. Indoor and sidewalk seating and they clean the tables for you and promptly. Reasonably priced. Definitely will be going back. Negatives - the inside was a little on the warm side but Ponce the ceiling fans got going, all was good.

One of my favorite places for weekday lunch, and nice folks. The portions are large, so bring your appetite or save half a big sandwich for later. Prices are very reasonable for highest quality delicious sandwiches, soups and salads. Call ahead for convenient takeout if you are near Hampton and Main. Be sure to try the Runner's Choice, HaliCali or the Asian Chicken Salad.

Hampton Place Cafe has been around for 2 generations. The recipes are secret family recipes; only Andy the owner makes them just like his father used to make them. That's why you can count on that same delicious flavor to consistently satisfy your palate every time. Andy's old customers keep coming back for their favorite over and over. But new customers realize the best experience is trying something different everyday.

Not a bad place to grab lunch if you work downtown. I eat here quite frequently. Good sandwiches, generous portions and plenty of healthy options. Speed of service depends on how busy they are.

The owner left the store early and they were closing up. As I walked in I did not notice the sign stating they were closing at 2:15. The young girl at the counter told me that they were unable to make sandwiches but could make me salad. I asked her why that I really wanted the club and she stated she was told by the boss man to not make sandwiches. I asked her please a couple times and even told her if I didn't like it I would not complain. She hesitated and eventually made it for me. I could tell she really didn't want to but she did it anyway and its still one of the best Sandwiches I've had. I didn't catch her name but she had a green Ninety-Six Shirt on and I wanted to say thank you again she deserves to be acknowledged.

Great food and service, one of the best spots to grab food downtown
