The Collins Small Batch Kitchen

The staff was great in suggesting gluten free options. They switched out pizza sauce to make it gluten free Great mushroom and sausage gf pizza with red sauce.

We have dined at The Collins Small Batch countless times since we live walking distance away. We always have a delightful experience. The food is consistently delicious and the service is friendly and attentive. I always look forward to going. My favorite items are the CLASSIC spaghetti squash . blistered tomatoes . pommery mustard and the twisted noodle salad. I crave them both lol!

Emily was very welcoming! Noise a bit too much sitting on the patio next to the road. Would have opted for the opposite patio.

We recently returned to The Collins for Easter lunch after having a memorable dinner there on a previous occasion. Unfortunately, this visit did not meet our expectations. While the service was satisfactory, the food quality fell short. I ordered the rotisserie chicken with loaded smashed potatoes. The chicken breast was surprisingly dry and lacked depth of flavor, and the bacon bits in the potatoes were overly hard and unappetizing. My son had the club sandwich and similarly noted that the bacon was difficult to eat and lacked flavor. My husband opted for the tuna dish, which he had been looking forward to, but he felt it was bland and reminded him of tofu in texture and taste. The one highlight of the meal was the cauliflower side dish, which was flavorful and well-prepared. Unfortunately, it was not enough to redeem the overall dining experience. Given the disparity between this visit and our previous one, we do not plan to return.

The food lived up to the expectations. I ate French onion soup, prime rib and cauliflower. My husband enjoyed the chef special ribeye and loaded baked potato.

I don't think we caught them on their best night but still it was ok and food was good. Just some confusion in the ranks among the servers, nothing terminal, I'd try again.

Vegetarian options: Chocolate Cream Pie... like Grandma used to make!

Went here last week, was seated outside, waited over 10 minutes and didn't even get waters. Server completely forgot about us or didn't care. Walked out. Encapsulates why cavalier service makes or break a dining experience and this place is no exception.

Local American Restaurant. It’s a nice place with a full bar and tiny patio. Service can be ok or not so friendly. Prices are high for the amount and taste. We even ordered from the HH menu. The guacamole—was barely enough for one and really was mostly chopped tomatoes and onion with a few avocado cubes thrown in—nothing worth getting again. We also ordered the onion dip with chips, but didn’t notice till after we left that they gave us the same tortilla chips as with the guacamole. Menu shows with moma Lola’s chips—not sure what those are, but guessing different from a tortilla chip. The shrimp cocktail was good, yet again just a few—even though it was HH pricing, wasn’t much.
It’s a popular place and very busy. So there must be an attraction. So give it a try and see if you have a better experience.

Parking: Tight if you want to be in front, but they have a large area behind the building…although that can be full depending on time of day.

Great food. Brussel sprouts are amazing. Excellent drinks and friendly prompt service. A little on the noisy side inside, but outside seems a bit quieter.

The online menu says they have vegetarian or vegan options but they took them off years ago and the online menu hasn’t been updated. There were also different options that my friends saw online but were not available when we walked in. However the staff is great and i like the atmosphere too.

New favorite salad (twisted noodle salad). Love the vibes - high end swank (without being pretentious) mixed with low key, relaxed and mellow atmosphere. All the staff were very friendly and provided super prompt service. Beef short ribs and coconut pie were on point! Definitely coming back.

This was my first time eating at The Collin’s and I sat at the bar and Tristan waited on me. She was absolutely amazing!! Super helpful with food suggestions and very sweet. I was trying to decide on a soup or the fries and decided to just get fries and she got me a soup on the house to try it just because. She definitely made the experience amazing and I can’t wait to be back!
