We had a great time tonight and look forward to going back. My friend got the duck and it was great as well. I stole a bite lol. Also there are mozzarella sticks that are amazing.

“Colbys is a class act. Leena the server we had was one of the best servers that we have ever had. The service was great, the resturant is well maintained, so you can be proud to go there with an out of town guest. The food was really good and the noise level was such that even though the resturant was busy you could have a table conversation and hear each other. We drove from Newburgh IN and will be back again in the future!”
