A friend and I were headed to lunch and passed a cool vehicle with a "Colby's" license plate. I was immediately reminded of the simple, reliable satisfaction offered at Colby's. We reversed course and headed that direction.
I truly can't even believe this gumbo. The thickness!

Absolutely loved this place. The chicken was great. The service was awesome. Parking is weird. Don’t park in the German bank parking lot. They will tow or ticket your vehicle. You can scram across the street to the other lot. But it’s worth the hassle.

Another Great Restaurant in Downtown Owensboro !!!
I had heard about Colby's and always wanted to try it. I finally had an extra night in which I had the opportunity to try Colby's and went there for dinner. Colby's has been around since 1987 and is a staple in Owensboro. Their menu has many comfort foods, American Classics, Bourbons, Cocktails, some craft beers and a whole lot more. On my visit, I tried 3 dishes and a 'Wheat' Bourbin from a local distillery. First up was a glass of Green River Kentucky Straight Wheated Bourbon which set the course for my meal. My first choice of the evening was Colby's Classic Shrimp Louisianne which was Six large shrimp sautéed in cajun butter and served sizzling hot in a skillet with a side of Cheesy Garlic Bread. The shrimp were plump, juicy and full of flavour and a great starter. Next up was Colby's take on New Orleans Gumbo made with a blend of shrimp, scallops, chicken, onions, peppers, andouille sausage and rice. The 'cup' size was almost a meal itself with big chunks of andouille sausage and a palatable spice level. For my main course, I had the 8oz center-cut aged filet mignon served medium-rare with sides of mashed potatoes, brown gravy, sauteed mushrooms and veggies. The streak was a little overcooked but tender enough to be able to enjoy. The servers and the food were really good and I see why people flock to Colby's after all these years. Another great place to try when you are in the Owensboro area.
Things were just okay… My husband really liked his rib steak sandwich!

Me and my boyfriend go in for my birthday dinner at 4:40 pm on a Tuesday. Most of the restaurant is empty. We ask if we can sit by the bar and the 2 nice hostesses said no problem it's open seating down and to the right. We go down and there's 2 tables of people in the bar and no one at the bartop. We sit in a booth. After being there a few minutes a very rude waitress approaches our table and says we need to go back and stop at the hostess stand. We inform her we did and she said open seating down here. She got snappy and said no we need to go back to the host these are all for reservations only and we can take a bar seat otherwise. Mind you the place is not even a quarter filled and no one at the door waiting. After being embarrassed for my birthday we left. I'm shocked as I have been a bartender and waitress for 17 years and would never treat a customer like that nor snap on them for a misunderstanding between hostesses and waitress.
