Leelynn's Dining Room And Lounge

We rediscovered Leelynn's, a great local restaurant. It had been a few years since we last ate there. We had a very pleasant lunch on Saturday. The food was delicious, the service very good, and the prices were moderate. We had the open faced meatloaf sandwich $18.50) and the scrambled egg and brie sandwich $16.00). Our only disappointment was that there weren't any marked handicapped parking spaces. We were told to just park in the take-out parking spots.

Our food was Amazing- Mahi Mahi tacos and salmon eggs. Dee our server was delightful.

Great food, relaxed atmosphere, and good service. I'll definitely come back the next time we're in Columbia.

A bit disappointing intro to this place.... I was looking for a place to get lunch with my family for my birthday. I happened to stumble on this place via google, examined the reviews, photos and the menu and felt it was perfect place to try out. I called and asked for a reservation for 4, and specifically asked for a booth. When we arrived the next day, a family who was in the waiting area has a hostess come up to them and ask if a booth was ok. They seemed indifferent on this option and said ok. I immediately knew this was going to mean a issue for us....but I was hoping for the best. When the hostess returned we were escorted to a table. I mentioned to the hostess that I requested a booth, and she went off to discuss with someone. When she returned I was basically told there was none available and that someone with a reservation coming in 30minutes had a booth booked.... Obviously this would annoy anyone in my position immediately. I mentioned again that I REQUESTED a booth the day before not on the fly as we arrived today. She scrambled with a answer and mentioned something about putting tables together (which is a unnecessary solution for 4 people at a table with 4 chairs . My family was rightfully annoyed at the answer and wanted to leave, but I got over it and pushed for us to stay and try the food. After this initial annoying first impression we dove into the menu. Our server was very polite and good at being present to our table. The cream of crab soup is one of the bests I've ever had. The Scallop Bacon flatbread was also very tasty and different. The crab dip was nothing special. I had the ribs and substituted the sides for mashed potatoes and broccoli. The sides were underwhelming (mashed potatoes didn't seem to have any taste . The ribs fell off the bone and were pretty darn good. Multiple menu's have the creme brulee listed. After eyeballing that item and really cutting my meal short to try the desert, I was told they do not carry creme brulee anymore. (Why keep it on multiple menus? . We went with the apple crisp desert, it was tasty. The ice cream on top in particular was great. Other than not being in a booth as I preferred for my birthday, as well as not getting the desert I previewed on menu before coming....it was a pretty decent experience.

Food states great. Service top notch and, of course, the atmosphere up-to-speed
