We had a great cooking class! My 10 year old son is an aspiring chef and we couldn't have asked for a better experience for him. The owners were so welcoming and patient. He was so excited to be cooking in a real professional kitchen and being allowed to participate in all of the prep and cooking. We highly recommend the Food Academy for classes and delicious food!
We had the opportunity to eat lunch at this great new establishment. Our lunch entrees (bbq chicken and salmon) were delicious! We also ordered dessert which was excellent too. The presentation, taste of the food, and the service make this venue a best kept secret here in Columbia, SC. We will come back soon!
My first time here and it was wonderful. Very cozy, intimate, and inviting setting...loved the decor and the napkins...can even dine outside on the patio which is equally as inviting. Brunch starts at 11 and we arrived a few minutes after opening...food is homemade FRESH with love, and made from fresh ingredients. Well worth the price -- QUALITY! There is even a bar! I indulged in an DELICIOUS non- alcoholic peach mimosa today which tasted just like the real thing! I'll definitely be back for a real one:) Staff was great -- very welcoming and attentive:) Oh yeah, they do meal prep and cooking classes as well! Please support!
The Food Academy, LLC is a great addition to the IRMO/St Andrews area. They have a great menu and the owners are very welcoming. I sat and enjoyed my Gouda burger on the patio and listen to some nice jazz playing. Happy Friday!!!

I had the wonderful experience of visiting the The Food Academy for the first time during their brunch. I was and am still amazed by the array of dishes offered as well as the wonderful service. It is a must to visit this secret of a jewel.
This is such an amazing place to eat with amazing staff! Definitely coming back for more every chance I get!
So good...Great service, top-notch food!!! If you're in the area, please go and visit. You won't be disappointed!!
Thank you everyone. We had our Christmas lunch here today. Placemats, chargers, dishes, real napkins, crafts of tea or water. Everything was just perfect. Its across from snow biz on St Andrews. We were there at eleven and it filled up quick. Seat indoors or outside in sun or shade. Heater
set up for colder days. Menu small plates are eight dollars, but it is so much food. We took your advice and had baked potatoes filled with filet and two of us had salmon crochet on grits and friend green tomatoes. For dessert we had grilled almond pound cake with strawberry and cream. Another had peach cobbler with ice cream on top. The other entrées are ten and twelve. There is an event nightly from games, cooking classes, jazz, etc. Please support this restaurant and lets keep them here. Nicest professional staff ever. There is nothing this fine dining in our area. I cannot wait to return, les Hanna harper

This restaurant was absolutely phenomenal! This is a black owned business that is moving and shaking!
My 9 year old son attended a cooking class tonight and it was amazing. The chefs/instructors were so professional, organized, and patient. The recipes were delicious, it was so much fun to cook in a professional kitchen. We could not have had a nicer experience. We can't wait for next month's class. Highly recommend!
