This was an unexpected surprise. The food was excellent, as was the service. The Sedona-style decor and unique layout was quite appealing. 10/10 would highly recommend. Looking forward to another visit soon!

My daughter and I went bright and early Saturday morning, before 8 am. Busy with only a few guests, Christmas music playing, we enjoyed the meal and service immensely.

We stopped in for Tuesday margaritas and were told they’re no longer doing the special because of the liquor strike which totally makes sense, except the strike actually ended back in October. We completely understand if the restaurant has decided to move away from the Tuesday marg special altogether, but it would be really helpful if the website and in-person advertising could be updated to reflect that. Even offering a substitute special on Tuesdays would be awesome if the margs are officially off the table.
Also just wanted to say our server was absolutely lovely. super kind and respectful, and none of this is on her at all.

We went as group Tuesday night to get the Margarita special and we were informed after sitting down that the margarita special wasn’t going to be happening because of “the liquor strike”. Now I understand that but they refused to substitute anything. Also if you aren’t going to do the special which was the main reason we walk 30 minutes there don’t advertise it on your website, pro tip

I love to come to this diner for breakfast. The food is amazing, it’s so cozy and beautiful in the restaurant and our server Tet, was so courteous, and kind. It’s a little gem of a place.

I used to love this place. what is going on now? Who is this new owner? He walks around from table to table making customers feel uncomfortable. I am not returning.
I do really like Columbia Diner. We go fairly regularly for brunch ($4 mimosas yes please.) we’ve always had a good experience. The view is also really great from the whole room.

Amazing people worker there. Awesome food. I love Kamloops so much
Our soccer team dined here for brunch, service was very quick and food was great! Would definitely recommend.
Our soccer team of 23 came here for a pregame meal. The staff couldn’t have been more accommodating. They handled our large group with ease — friendly, efficient, and organized. The food was delicious, and everything ran smoothly from start to finish. We’ll definitely be back! Mark and Kathy were just amazing! 👏🏻👏🏻
We had travelled to Kamloops with our family for the slopitch tournament. We stayed at the Ramada hotel and our whole team repeatedly ate at the Colombian diner. We had forgot our daughter’s iPad there. It has AAC programs for our daughter to help her with her speech and nervousness, as she is autistic and epileptic.
We had contacted the diner and talked to multiple staff and two different managers, one female that no longer workers there and one male I think named w mark or something and both had said they will ship it for us and we can pay once we receive it.
We had sent the female manager our information to the Columbia diner email that she told us to… no response back.
We had sent the male manager our email, name, address, phone number to his personal email address (as he told us to) and confirmed with him that it was her iPad that they found there. He made it seem so promising that he was going to ship it.
We had never gotten a reply back or phone call back or email back.
The iPad is locked and has our contact information on it, as it is marked as lost.
It was very upsetting to be told that they would send it back but never gotten any response afterwards. It’s been 5 weeks now (Oct 10, 2025) we went in the first week of September 2025.
0/10 professionalism.
Also, the service was 0/10 as well (they kept messing up everyone’s orders and the wait times were very long).
