The?Columbus center is a great place to have a beer with friends , and the food is also a pretty darn good. I enjoy the bar side best but have also eaten in the restaurant if you want a more upscale experience. Not the cheapest of options but you get what you pay for most of the time and this place is no exception.

Great food and drinks in a cozy atmosphere. The service is friendly but has been slow on multiple occasions even when it wasn’t that busy.Decent amount of free parking, but fills up quickly on the weekends.As a Vegetarian I definitely don’t come here for a full meal, but I’m not too picky even when options are limited for me so I still enjoy visiting Columbus Inn for the atmosphere alone.

Great happy hour experience. Our first time sitting in the bar area. Comfortable seating. Perfect ambiance. The food was amazing. Our server was attentive and polite. We will be back.

Apparently Sunday Brunch at Columbus Inn is a pretty big deal and when I finally made it to the buffet line starting in the bar area I could see why. The spread alone deserves five stars just for the variety. We're talking a raw bar with oysters, shrimp and crab claws, tuna, sushi, carving stations with turkey, ham and prime rib, salmon, brisket, macaroni and cheese and all of your usual breakfast options of eggs, waffles, bacon, sausage, grits, potatoes, etc. All of that and I'm positive i missed some items. Everything I sampled was delish with the exception of the prime rib and that is only because I could not get a piece at my desired temp. From one end it was too well done but from the side I got it was too red. Ham was delicious. Oysters were fresh some complained that the waffles were dry but the salmon, brisket and Mac and cheese I would come back for alone. So why three stars instead of five? Because of the atmosphere upstairs where my party was seated. Originally our table was downstairs near the buffet (perfect!) but because some people that showed up were not on our rsvp we had to move. So we left the warm, cozy, twinkling lit ambiance of the dining room for a large, sterile, lonely room upstairs.. And although it was touted as a private room frankly it just looked like a forgotten area devoid of any decor save for the table dressing and fireplace. Someone there really should invest in making it look more special especially considering that added disadvantage of having to climb stairs with plates multiple times to and from the buffet.

Today we had a private function (baby shower) & everything today was OUTSTANDING. The brunch items were warm, well-cooked, & very tasty. The atmosphere in the private room was perfect. The service from Madison & Emily was great!!! Ask for them.

(4) ~ very good dinner overall food & service...although they should offer bread in the beginning;) Note: They do have a parking lot and Street parking is free for (2) hours. DRINKS: ** Water (tap) = (4) very good, must be filtered;) ** Double Espresso = (4) very offering FOOD: ** Seafood Cobb = (4) very good ** Kennett Pizza = (4) very tasty & shareable ** Ode to Charcoal Pit Hot Fudge Sundae = (3.5) good idea, but didn't deliver...ice cream was too hard, the Fudge was not "hot / heated" which would have helped the hard ice cream, and the description said caramel sauce, but none was found...

We had a business dinner and the table had plenty of space to work. The food was delicious, service was great, and the noise level allowed for conversation. We always enjoy dinner at the Columbus Inn.

Everything was very good. I had crab cakes and a friend had the strip steak and said it melted in his month. I have also had the steakhouse salad before and was outstanding. Would recommend the 50/50 dressing.

My friends and I had a delicious meal on the heated, enclosed patio. The pierogis were the most delicious I've ever had. The tomato basil soup was satisfying, creamy, and bright on a cold day. And the Jailhouse Island Salmon with risotto was amazing! A must-

1 year after having our wedding here we returned for an anniversary brunch. Upon arrival one of our wedding servers recognized us and had us seated in her section. We had a lovely brunch and opted for the lunch selections. The chicken, salmon, prime rib, mac n cheese and tomato bisque were our favorites. We were trying a selection of desserts when Casey, our serve, came out with a beautiful slice of double chocolate cake complete with a sparkler and a Happy Anniversary chocolate “coin”. Thank you Casey and Admin for your generosity, thoughtfulness and for taking the time to remember and celebrate us. We will be back. ?
