Coley’s is hands down one of our favorite places. They recently hosted our family and friends for our rehearsal dinner and their staff and food was top notch. Everyone is still raving about Coley’s and how much fun we had! Thank you for making our wedding weekend incredible! We really appreciate Brian and his whole team. Can’t wait to have a date night here soon!

We have heard good things about Coley's and finally decided to stop by for dinner. We were seated quickly with a party of 2. The atmosphere was charming and trendy, and the service was great. The menu had a variety of American style cuisine options. - Classic burger (4/5): this was a solid burger, and I added pepper jack cheese. It was cooked and seasoned well. The fries were perfect in my opinion, I love when they are small and crispy. - Hoisin pork chop (4/5): pretty good, meat was tender and juicy. The sauce was very flavorful and had a kick to it. Mashed potatoes and green beans were good. We were not expecting to enjoy our meal as much as we did! We definitely recommend this spot!

I have had some of the best meals ever at Coley's. And their Sangria is the best on the planet.

This was the best place I ate at while visiting Columbia. I had the Canyon Bowl with chicken and it was delicious. The service was great. The food took a little long to get to the table, but it was worth it, hot and fresh. Everyone in our party raved about their dish. Well done, Coley's...well done!

Ate lunch here yesterday and as always great food and service. I had (my usual) Classic burger with pepper jack cheese & LTOP with a side of fries and hubs had Nash Hot chicken sandwich with (upgrade to) sweet potato tots. I have had several other sandwiches & entrees at Coley's but their burgers are just too good to pass up: it's an actual hand formed ground beef & brisket patty, not some pre-formed frozen & shipped thousands of miles patty. The fries are skinny with just the right amt of seasonings and hold up to dipping in ketchup &/or mayo. Nash hot chicken is a real boneless half breast, deep fried to the perfect crunch. Hubs said it wasn't real spicy but he grew up eating spicy Indian food so there's that. I'm not a fan of sweet tater tots but tried one and think it'd be great smothered in sour cream. So our two sandwiches with sides and two iced teas was less than $30, including tots upcharge. Very reasonable for lunch in The District especially when eating real-not-frozen-then-thawed&cooked food in a casual setting

We thought the service was excellent , food okay and drinks were poor. I had an Old Fashionef and my wife had a rum/mint drink. Both were watery and not very appetizing. We had Calamari and salads to start. They were the best part of the dinner, Entree could have been very good if it wasn't so salty. Our waitress was fantastic.

3-4 stars. Above average local restaurant, would eat here more than once. Tends to be overly salty. Good size menu, interesting choices. Nice staff.

As my husband and I were walking downtown to familiarize ourselves with the area (recent move to Columbia from Seattle), we decided to stop here for dinner. I ordered the Huckleberry Grove Lemonade (alcoholic), which I HIGHLY recommend! We started with fried calamari (very delicious) with the salmon for my Hubby, and the pork chop for me for our main entrees. Overall, the food was good, but the garlic hoisin sauce on the pork and the sauce on my husband's salmon dish was extremely salty! I had to meticulously scrape off as much sauce as I could off the pork. It's a cute place with overall good food, but they may need to lighten on the salt content.

Pretty good place to have brunch or breaky. I went to their sister restaurant in Wisconsin and wish they had some of the same items on their menu because I visit Columbia often. Regardless, this place is pretty good. Will come here again for sure.

Limited menu but they do it all well. Good atmosphere. We loved the salmon and the beef stroganoff. Outstanding We will be back

Ordered some tacos as an appetizer and they were great. My wife ordered the salmon and it was not cooked all the way. They took it back and the second one come burnt. She ate some of it since she was starving but definitely it was not what we paid for.

Food was amazing!! We went for dinner and our waiter, Joe, was very helpful and attentive. Would recommend for a wonderful meal and great service.

We love coleys, but this experience was pretty bad. We ordered pick up for 6 hours later, preplanned, called an hour before to make sure the order would be ready. Got there at the time it was supposed to be ready and they said it’d be a minute we could just wait in the car…. 25 minutes later still no food. Manager comes out and explains “looks like the order was not approved” I asked “so I have been told three times it’d be five minutes, called to make sure it was approved and everyone was lying?” “I will figure out what happened but we can make it now?” I had already been there over 40 minutes, lied to, and then told we could make it now? Why would I believe that. Completely unacceptable.

What a delight to find this spot. Joe gave us impeccable service and the food was AMAZING! We started lunch with the artichoke cakes and they are a must-have, I had the delicious balsamic chicken wrap and my partner loved his shrimp tacos. The atmosphere is warm and intimate. We will be back when we visit Columbia again!
