“Uncle John's RRR Bar, or triple R, has a great atmosphere. It's normally a diverse crowd, ages are a pretty even mix between 21-50+. The staff are friendly and accommodating. Don't sleep on the smash burgers, they are amazing, and the kitchen is open late.“

“I can say the food was excellent, and not overpriced. I will look forward to coming back here every time I go back home through Columbia to play disc golf at Konarcik Park in Waterloo, one of the most fun disc golf courses I have ever played. I love this place, and it is going to be my new tradition. You rock!“

“We are full-time RVers who, while traveling around the US, are in search of the best cheeseburger and have a rating system of The Best (only 1 rated), Very Good, Good, OK, and Not Impressed. While at our home base in Southern Illinois, we were in the Columbia, IL, area and Googled “hamburger restaurants.” We saw Washy’s Pub had good burger reviews, so decided to give them a try for lunch. Washy’s has a simple bar atmosphere with about a dozen tables. We ordered their Classic burger with me having American cheese and my wife pepperjack. We also requested lettuce, pickles, and sliced onions. The handmade patties were about 10 oz (good sized), nicely seasoned, cooked to order, charbroiled, and served on a nicely-toast fresh bun. I had their skinny-style battered fries and my wife had onion rings. The burgers came out hot and were super tasty due the meat seasoning. We’re not sure what seasoning they used, but it worked! My wife’s burger was just a tiny bit better than mine due the pepperjack they use. The fries and onion rings were among the best we’ve had as well. We rated the burgers (even without a special sauce), fries, and onion rings Very Good. The service was also top notch.“
