Is this a good Columbia restaurant 🤔 because the menu does not look like Columbia food? This is very confusing to me they always have good Coke a cola in a Columbian relationship or something like that 🤔 😳 I have to pay for your birthday wishes is a bad 👎 idea because you skimming the accounts and do not have a dry cleaning machine for me so that is not how to wash your hands 😉 to be honest and not a greedy person is the right way that's why I donate my money and then the charities scared me bad for them to blame me sickos

The food has been really good but the customer service needs some improvement. It also takes a long time to get your food, so if you aren't in a time crunch during working hours then come by if not go somewhere else.

I am so disappointed. I have lived in the village for 40 years
I use to eat at Columbia almost everyday. My last visit I was charged $1.25 for 1 once of salad dressing that I use to get for free.

The breakfast burrito was so big I couldn't finish it, but it still tasted fantastic the next day. I wasn't expecting green salsa inside the burrito but it kicked up the flavor.

Depending on who is cooking, the food is great. This was my second visit, hoping it was like my first. The first time I stopped by, I ordered a Denver omelet that was great. However, the second time, it was greasy as hell. Different cook.

I grew up eating here literally for 35 years and always get fried Zucchini today the container wasn't full the way it used to be the Zucchini was over cooked mostly batter no actual vegetable and they changed the ranch. It used to be the absolute best homemade ranch now it's just okay. I know things change but nothing here changed for the better. Also the prices have gone up with a decrease in quantity and quality. It's sad but there are so many options in this area now so I won't be back

Columbia restaurant is a staple to our community. The food is ALWAYS fresh. Because they cook your food to order it takes a little longer. It's worth the wait though. I've yet to have anything that I didn't like.

Review №36

Waited at the drive thru over 30mns for some simple small chili cheese fries and 1 asada taco. 1 taco was $4 and very below average and little meat. The chili cheese fries were way over salted as they seasoned the fries and seasoned the chili too much so both made it not edible too salty. Very disappointed. What is their specialty?

First time here. Ordered spicy chicken and fries and chorizo burrito. Both were too salty. The burrito seems to be cooked on the same spot for the spicey chicken because it tasted the same. The fries were undercooked.
Service was good, area cleaned, but no one is checking on the cooks

Cheeseburger combo with no sauce. They gave it to me drench in sauce. Daughter liked it (lucky me) . Cheeseburger was tasteful and is Big. I asked for a thousand island dressing to dip my fries but I got a mustard dejan (I think) . Service was very good .

Came in with low expectations but left surprisingly pleased. The restaurant is a hole in the wall place but boy is it delicious. Came in around 1030AM and saw that the drive thru was packed with people ordering breakfast. I went in to pick up a work order of 4 double cheeseburger combos. The worker helped me take the food to the car because of the drinks. Super helpful guy. Wow that double cheeseburger was delicious! The beef tasted fresh and was topped with caramelized onion. Will definitely come back.

Really clean and decorated for Christmas. The brown vinyl booths are well maintained--no tears or cracks that are so prevalent in that type of seating. Friendly service and super inexpensive. Pancakes, eggs, bacon and sausage, a chorizo breakfast burrito, 2 cinnamon chips, and 2 ojs was just over $20. Seems family run? Looking forward to trying dinner.

11/16 update
Came back for a 2nd round. Ordered 2 chili cheese fries , bacon burger no PICKLES PLEASE special, cheese quesadilla...I ASKED FOR MY FRIES TO BE CRISPY , and they were soft as hell. Pickles were on my damn burger and i hate pickles. Like how hard is it to listen and take the order correctly!! I also asked for ranch and ketchup...didnt get that either... Rating did go down for sure. I just want to be able to enjoy my food that i pay for.

Came here for the 1st time. I've been to several places and it wasn't a good thing. So this place is only 8 mins from my house, very clean, parking and drive thru. But go slow, or you will pass the entrance of drive thru like i almost did, lol. Nice lady comes on. I order 2 chili chees fries, and a colosso burger combo no pickles, 2 hard shell tacos. $34 ish dollars. Cash and card accepted. Waited about 5 mins or so, food done and smells good. Drove home, and mouth is watering, lol. So im praying this food is good. I give everyone their food. Yallll.. the chili cheese fries were good!!! Not spicy, not to much chili just perfect! The colosso burger..this thing was big!! But my only 2 things i didn't like, it had pickles on it (yuck), and i really couldn't taste the pastrami. But it did taste good. Omg. So i will be going back. I pray the food doesn't change. Tacos were good to me as well. Now i need to try breakfast! I will be back, lol.

What's up with the burger buns? The lowest quality bread. Bite the burger and it starts to literally crumble . The bun is bigger that the pattie and they have one size for fries .Don't go through drive through your gonna be there for a long time cut your car off and chill. The drive thru employee was very nice smiled and gave good vibes and thanks for the free sample of them cinnamon chips 😁. I don't think I'm gonna do Columbia again .Oh Yeah the pastrami not the business very chewy and flavor less

I ordered a double pastrami burger combo - I received a single burger - they put the pastrami on the side - I bit into my fries - they were hard/ half done - I paid for a double pastrami burger - to top it off - the burger was tasteless. I had come here a few months ago and the food was tasteless- I thought maybe it was just one of those days. Never again

Been coming here for over 30 years Not sure what happened to management / staff but it's not the same
.I asked for pickles only on my hamburger plus extra pickles on the side. When I got my
Burger I said may I get a side of pickles please. She said oh we don't have any pickles and I said then why didn't you tell me that when I ordered my hamburger. My sister wanted cheese enchiladas and they said we don't do enchiladas anymore but yet they're still on the menu board. Both girls were very rude from the moment we walked in this restaurant .. this will be the last time I ever go there again
I would give it a zero star but it doesn't give me the option of that
