A Columbia Bojangles in a busy area opens again after renovations. Here’s where
A popular restaurant known for chicken, biscuits and more has reopened a location in a busy area of Columbia.
Bojangles, which has restaurants in numerous states, has reopened its store at 930 Elmwood Ave. in downtown Columbia. The restaurant had been closed for a few weeks amid some remodeling.
Exterior and interior painting were part of the facelift, as well as some other aesthetic touches in the dining room. When a reporter stopped by for a Cajun chicken biscuit on Wednesday morning, a staff member noted the Elmwood location reopened on Sept. 2.
The Elmwood Avenue Bojangles is in a particularly high-traffic corridor, as cars pour into the thoroughfare off of nearby Interstate 126. Nearly 51,000 cars per day travel down that stretch of Elmwood, per S.C. Department of Transportation data, making it one of the busiest non-interstate roads in the Midlands.
Bojangles has more than 800 restaurants in numerous states, mostly in the Southeast. The company has 20 stores in the Midlands.
The company is known for its spicy Cajun chicken, breakfast biscuit sandwiches, and Southern sides including macaroni and cheese, dirty rice, mashed potatoes and gravy, and more. They also are offering a grilled chicken Bo-rito for limited time, which is a burrito featuring grilled chicken breast filet, dirty ricre, slow-cooked Cajun pintos and Monterey Jack cheese, all wrapped up in a warm flour tortilla.
