I can see where this was probably a great place to eat but it is looking a bit run-down and random. We ordered the seafood platter which was disappointing. The fried clams were chewy. The fish bland and over cooked. The soup was excellent! My BF ordered the prime rib and it was excellent! Very friendly staff.

Great little spot. Stumbled into it and with good food and service, I hope to stumble into there again.

Fabulous service. Wonderful food, generous portions and always a place I stop when i go visit my Father in Oregon. Highly recommended 👌

Columbia is always a great place to eat
Breakfast lunch or dinner, but you need to come hungry the portion are huge. The service is always very very good and they all work together as a team to make sure every need is met.
If you like biscuts and gravy only get half order especially if you get hash browns. See pic

Ok for breakfast , but seemed overpriced. Breakfasts were about $20 each. Food was good, but not exceptional. Ambiance was aged.

We tried this place out for the first time in years. The food was fine, a little overpriced for breakfast, maybe. I never received a refill on coffee, etc. The waitress seemed friendly, though. And I appreciate that it was quiet enough to hold a conversation.

Lovely little diner with a very friendly staff and nice view of the waterway across the street. Quite a varied menu, but everything we ordered was delicious. The tower of onion rings was amazing!

Ordered at 4:45 pm and asked for seafood platter with baked potato. Waitress checked with cook and stated no bakers until 5 pm. I settled for tater tots (didn’t want). We witnessed other tables that arrived after we did and they got the option of baked potato. We received our main course at 5:15 which I feel could have given me the option of baked potato. The green salad is obviously bagged salad and topped with something that looked like dehydrated beets. Ordered blue cheese dressing and it was like water with no blue cheese in it. The seafood was breaded so heavy with, as I refer to it, as pancake batter. No way to eat with that much breading. Couldn’t taste the seafood at all. I ate about 5 bites and left the rest on my plate. Got cold cooked broccoli and no bread or butter as stated in the menu. $37 for that plate of non edible so called food. Very disappointed and definitely will not try it again. Unfortunate!

I didn't eat here but the sign outside is interesting. Prices must be good because Jack Benny ate here and he was notoriously cheap.
