Finish dinner 30+ minutes before showtime. Most restaurants offer pre-theater menus.
Highly recommended, especially for evening performances. Book ahead to avoid disappointment.
Most listed restaurants are within 5-10 minutes walk. Factor in extra time during busy hours.

Fantastic place for graduation ceremonies. I enjoy photographing the grads every year. The staff is friendly and it's always a good time. Can't wait to check out a hockey game this winter.
So I’ve never been to Columbus, Georgia and then I heard Anthony Hamilton and Fantasia were coming to town. So mom’s and the birthday girl said let’s take a girls trip we hit the road. When I say we had a blast we had fun Anthony Hamilton was on my list of artist and I’ve seen Fantasia twice so I knew I was in for a grand time. I am definitely looking forward to visiting Columbus, Georgia again for two reasons another concert and to try some of the many restaurants we came across. We went to Toasted but I wasn’t able to eat for religious reasons but let’s just say the other two enjoyed their food both had omelettes a veggie and Philly and the French toast. I wish it was 12pm then I could have enjoyed the food so it is on the list and a few other spots. Well Columbus it was real it was fun see you next concert go round.
1st time to a Columbus River Dragon game and will go again. Free parking, easy entry and exit. Game was awesome experience for young and older patrons. Comfortable seating clean restrooms, easy access even for handicap ♿️. GREAT crowd nice atmosphere. Exciting Action Packed.
This was our first time at this venue. We drove down because we couldn't make the Atlanta dates for the New Edition Culture tour. The concert was supposed to start at 8, but apparently they didn't open the gates until 8? When we arrived, there were long lines winding through the parking lot! By the time we got in, Jodeci was already halfway through their performance. We had floor seating, which was okay, except the guy in front of us had to be at least 7 feet tall! That's the only downside to great center floor seats. Just getting to the venue was a real headache. They should really have officers out there helping with traffic. I would say we spent 30 minutes just trying to navigate the last quarter mile to the civic center. But parking is only $5... much different from many larger venues.
Was there for a three day convention. Temperature was nice and cool. I saw a couple of drink vending machines, but no snack machines. Given their clear bag policy, they really should provide some options.
