The Motor Supply Company Bistro gets its name from the vintage sign on the late 1800s building. The space went from motor supplies to delicious farm to table and house made meals back in 1989.
We had been wanting to try this place for a while in the Vista of Columbia, South Carolina but it requires reservations. Commitment is not our thing! We finally made reservations for an early brunch.
The food was perfect! Jim had the brown sugar pork loin sandwich. This is a farm fresh egg, cheddar, bourbon soaked mustard aioli and caramelized onions on Texas toast with crispy potatoes on the side.
The focus at this restaurant is local ingredients. They also offer beers from local breweries.
The old auto bays have been converted into a charming outdoor patio for al fresco dining.
There is also an old style bar.
We will definitely be back since I need to try the brioche french toast!
Have a marvelous day/evening (wherever you are on the clock)! ~Val
Sounds great! I like restaurants that promote local art and artists.
ReplyDeleteMe too! It is a perfect relationship since the restaurant does not need to spend money to decorate the walls and the artist gets exposure.
DeleteI've seen this restaurant in the Vista, but I've never eaten from there. It sounds like an interesting place to try!
ReplyDeleteIt is so unique! Worth a try. Prices are reasonable too.
DeleteThat looks like a wonderful spot to eat. I love the interior -- how the tables are and the art on the floor. Good food is essential but at some places it feels like that is a bonus! I'm glad it was delicious too!
ReplyDeleteIsn't that the truth! Once we started eating out again we got frustrated with many unpleasant meals. This was a win! I do feel for small restaurant owners struggling with staffing issues these days.
DeleteI always think it's good when restaurants use locally sourced food.
