Ollie & Finn's Counter: Columbia's Ultimate Sandwich Destination

It's a cramped for space but other than that I really love this place. I ordered the Cumberland Spaceman with potato salad, and my wife ordered "his name is Robert Paulson" with seasoned cukes. The spaceman had a nice spice but not overpowering, and the sourdough was delicious. The sandwiches large and had a good portion of meat in them. I wasn't a big fan of the potato salad but I'm a real stickler about mine, I like it more sweet this reminded me more of a seasoned cheese dip. I still finished it so that tells you it wasn't bad, just not my favorite. My wife loved her Paulson on Multigrain. She actually said she could eat that sandwich everyday and she loved the seasoned cukes too. The staff was very friendly and polite. We will definitely be coming out here more often. ***UPDATE *** It's now May and we have been to "finns" as we call it multiple times. I have a new favorite, its "the English magician" and it tastes amazing the best I could describe it to would be like if you took made a turkey melt and you added cranberry sauce and mayonnaise together. That's what the bacon jam and the cream cheese reminds me of and I absolutely love it in fact I ate it so fast I forgot to take a photo, but that one is my favorite at this moment. The next one I want to try is the I want to believe or the Molly Mayhem special but I want that one on sourdough because I don't like batard bread. Anyways just wanted to update and say this is our favorite restaurant in Columbia now, and we are looking forward to the next sandwich to try.

Great place for a filling meal! Had a cup of soup and their Cuban inspired sando, mom had a Rueben style - both excellent and served warm and crunchy! We walked there a few blocks from the main town square and then walked back up the river walk area.

The food and service were both great. There are just a few large, community tables. We had the Reuben and bologna sandwiches; both were very good. The homemade chips with dip . I like having cucumbers for an option--good job guys. Overall, great first experience.

This place is great. It is an awesome sandwich shop coupled with an amazing brewery. Both the food and beer have been great every time. I've been probably 5 times so far and will definitely be a regular.

Oh. My. Mothman. I am amazed. I have been going to Ollie & Finn’s since they were located in the Columbia Arts Building. This place is a texture paradise. Ethan & Anna are super sweet and very cool, and I have always been blown away. BUT! Tonight, I took myself on a date, and I ran into Anna randomly at Briarworks. When she told me when owned O&F, I was ecstatic to share my positive experiences. They have a Kolsch that is to die for too! I found out so many things! Ollie & Finn’s is actually named after their dogs, and I’m a dog trainer so that also resonated a lot! They try their best to maintain a good work life balance and are a family owned restaurant. They even work with other businesses in the area like McCrearys Pub and Bad Idea Brewing and probably many more that u don’t know about. I went after this and bought me a sandwich that Anna described to be beautifully - “The Mothman” - a roast beef and cheddar on baguette with hickory caramelized onions, pickled jalapeños, horseradish, and honey mustard. It was HUGE! It also came with a really good sized portion of their creamy Italian pasta which I could probably eat a gallon of. Overall I do give this amazing local spot a 10/10, and it doesn’t hurt that their owners are just really amazing and down to earth. They know what’s good. And they do what’s good.

Edit: ate here a THIRD day in a row and it somehow keeps getting even better? Today I had their version of an Italian sub and the creamy Italian pasta salad.. SPECTACULAR Original post: WOW! I cannot say enough good things about this place. I am from out of town and ate lunch here two days in a row because it’s so good. Some of the best sandwiches I’ve ever had (I got the Club and the Cuban). The real stars of the show however are the sides - easily the best sides I’ve had at a sandwich shop. You have to get their house made chips dipped in ranch, and the loaded potato salad was incredible as well. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!!

Finally visited Ollie & Finn’s and it did NOT disappoint! There were so many unique options on the menu that it was hard to choose. I settled on the Mothman and my friend got the I Want to Believe. We both chose the chips as our sides, and I added some collards too. The I Want to Believe is an absolute must try- 10/10 recommend. The Mothman was pretty solid, especially loved the bread and the caramelized onions, 7.5/10 for me. The house made chips and rancher are so good, and the collards had tons of flavor and a generous amount of meat in them, but were a bit spicy for me. The staff is super friendly, and we can’t wait to come try more of their menu out! Highly recommend!
