It's Wise to Dine at "The Hoot" - Edit
When recently in town for a family function, I discovered this plant-based/vegan restaurant & bar via the HappyCow app. Upon arriving at the restaurant, hubby and I were immediately drawn in enter the restaurant & bar by the sign before the double door entrance.
Read moreUpon arriving, we were relaxed by the cool music playing into the restaurant, seeing a pinball machine and appreciated seeing a variety of seating options including short and long tables, booths, and outdoor seating.
After reviewing the menu, hubby and I approached the bar to order and hubby informed the employee of his nut allergy which let to her asking kitchen staff what menu items contained nuts. The employee quickly returned and informed us that menu items that included nuts were the boiled peanuts and the kale salad.
Having reviewed the menu, we decided to order hush puppies with chipotle-brown sugar butter (which I haven't had since I became vegan in 2009,) a "Philly Sando" with french fries for me, a "Burger Bob" burger with tater tots for hubby, and an order of "Shroom Mac & Cheez" to spilt. While waiting for our to go order to be completed, we decided to enjoy two non-alcoholic mocktails on a "Haystack" for me and a employee create drink called "A Pocket Full of Sunshine."
As I sat at a table and enjoyed my mocktail, hubby had fun playing the "Swords of Fury" pinball machine. In less than ten minutes, our drinks were finished and to go order was delivered to us. Upon returning to our rental condo, we opened up food boxes and we delighted by what we saw.
The hush puppies were perfectly crispy on the outisde and moist on the inside. Although I was expecting for the butter dipping sauce to be overpowering, it provided the perfect amount of heat to the hush puppie's
sweetness.
The Philly sando was flavorful and the fries were hot and crispy. Hubby raved about the Burger Bob and said the tater tots were were done. The shroom mac & cheez had a good balance of flavor and cheeziness however, I would have loved it to have had even more mushrooms (but that's cause I really love mushrooms.)
After such a delightful to go dining experience, the next time we're in the area, we will definitely plan to have a dine in experience to better enjoy the chill atmosphere, electic decor, delicious food, and friendly staff.
Pros: Friendly staff, Non-alcoholic mocktails, Delicious Regional Food

The Hoot is more than a food spot - Edit
The Hoot is so much more than a food spot, the food is excellent pub food, the drinks are great, but the atmosphere is why to visit. So many fun things with great people.

Great Brunch - Edit
I went for brunch and enjoyed it very much. I tried the pancakes, the chikn biscuit, and the Rosewood Wreck. The chikn biscuit was plain and not great, but everything else was fantastic. The Rosewood Wreck was flavorful, and the pancakes were perfectly fluffy. They also had a bit of cinnamon, which I loved. The service was friendly and the coffee was free!

fun vibes and good food - Edit
in town for the weekend so we had to hit up all the vegan spots - The Hoot did not disappoint! Friendly staff and great atmosphere. I had the Beans and Rice bowl and a kale salad side and it was delicious. The boiled peanuts were a treat too! Love the vibe and will definitely be back.

Amazing food - Edit
I’ve been several times and it’s my favorite vegan scene in Columbia the drinks are great I do wish they had sweet tea 😆 but yeah food is always on point. It is somewhat hidden and hard to find the first time if you’re at Publix the entrance is straight across behind the gas station! 🦉

Might be spoiled… - Edit
I wanted this place to be so much better than it was. Maybe I’m spoiled by the area I live in and the food I’ve tried, but this place just wasn’t very good. I tried the pretzel sticks and cheesesteak. Neither was particularly good and the sandwich was reminiscent of something that had been microwaved (warm on the outside, napalm on the inside)

Great new option in Columbia - Edit
So happy this place opened. Ate with three omnivores. We got the Pickle and Olive plate, Black-eyed pea hummus, and hush puppies to begin with. They were all great but the hush puppies stood out. I got The Hoot Sandwich and it was excellent. Two of us got the veg-fil-a sandwich and one person got the nachos. Everyone raved. It was great. More of a bar atmosphere but the food was excellent. Can't wait to go back.

Cool vibe with great food - Edit
This is a great place for bar-style food. Everything is 100% plant based. The hush puppies and cheez fries are a must! You order drinks and food at the bar.
