First time being here & honestly not the best experience. Me and my bf came in, no wait & we were starving. We ordered steak fries, a chicken flat bread, & some type of loaded fries ( can’t remember the name for sure) keep in mind.. there’s absolutely no wait and not to many tables… we get a beer & it takes 10 mins for our water. Then we place our order and it takes an hour for our food to come out.. which irritated us because it wasn’t busy at all… and they brought the appetizer out with our main courses. I thought it was supposed to be before.. and the fries didn’t have barely anything on them, and the steak was like 4 small small pieces. The only thing good was it the flatbread & that’s why I’m giving it a 2! Won’t be back for awhile.

I’ve been here a few times and gotten the steak frites. It’s really good, and I recommend asking for a little extra sauce! Servers and bartenders seem friendly. It seems like it’s a place that might be a little less busy than other spots in Old Market so if you can’t seem to find a place without a long wait, try this one. It’s also very close to the parking garage, which can be helpful!

Very weird experience. When you walk in, you have to walk through a host area and an empty dining area before you see anyone (and still not greeted). We chose to sit at the bar and awaited service. To our surprise, our bartender was the same guy that was drunk at the brewery across the street. He was obviously inebriated as were many of the employees. One worked did seem to take notice of the others and was irritated at their state of mind.. my first drink had some serious floaters going on. I was served a new tap beer and all was fine. The (previously mentioned) drunk bartender offered us a shot as we said we were leaving. He clarified “well it’s not really on my but on ___ (the owner)”. It was all pretty cringe and concerning. Based on the name, we went in. We were surprised to see 12 taps and them focused on lackluster options such as coors light. I asked for a beer menu and they didn’t have one. Tough to have a beer focused business if you can’t sell beer.Only giving 2* because I know the owners involved and hope they’ll turn it around.

It’s ok. Not great. Service was ok. Staff seemed to really be trying but just couldn’t keep up. The food wasn’t that good. Wouldn’t recommend the super nachos. Flat breads were decent.

We had the Pretzel Sticks & Bier Cheese last night...we had to come back today for more! The weather has been great for the outdoor dining. Great and friendly service. This place is top notch!!

Service was great. Food was delicious. The atmosphere was awesome. And the restrooms are clean. We ate, had a drink, and watched the game. The whole staff was welcoming, and friendly. They all walked around and talked to like they knew you. We'll definitely be returning.

Food is great and the staff is incredible. Love the new menu! Busy during the farmers market, but that's understandable with them right across the street. Definitely worth a stop when you're downtown.

The service was good and boy they were friendly, I think they need to find their stride. The French dip was subpar at best. Just needs to get re organized it has opportunity. Their hours on Google said closed sat but they aren't and that speaks to some management issues. Hope they make it.

I revisited The Collins recently on a Winter early evening to have a bite to eat and drinks with a friend. It is very cozy inside, NFL was on, bartenders were great. I'll be back, anytime of year. A earlier visit was on the garden patio... Loved it.
Walking into the Collins is an experience of itself. On the corner of 11th and Jackson, the place itself has one of the best views of the old market. The drinks are great and the food is amazing! You cannot go wrong by choosing the Collins for Brunch, Lunch or Dinner.

I had the meatball sub and it was so flavorful! The meatballs are huge and seasoned perfectly it pairs well with the marinara sauce. The only thing is I wish it had stated on the menu it came with fries because we ordered the truffle fries (yum!) for our appetizer so it was a bit much.

came in for new years eve and our table was ready right away and even came with new years eve hats. From start to finish the food was amazing with big portions, fresh food and awesome service. Highly recommend when you are looking to try something new downtown. Patrick and Nate hands down nailed it and would highly recommend and would go again

Waitress could have been alot more attentive in refilling drinks, cleaning plates off and delivering togo container.The two males behind the bar were excellent and delivered exceptional service.Food was good. Not to my tasting tho. I did not like how sweet the tacos were. I'm sure someone will love them. However the rice was dry and bland and the black beans were bland. No salt on the table and no waitress to request any salt or even try to get a hot sauce to try and make them better. It was an overall nice experience. Definitely can not say it was a terrible experience just because of a waitress that disappeared 80% of the time.

The steak in the tacos and the steak sandwich were very overcooked and the restaurant was freezing cold. The cocktails were delightful.
