As I walked in, my thoughts were this is truly a dive bar. The food, oh my gosh!!!! The food was delicious and not typical bar food. Just so good. The service, I expected unfriendly gruff service ( it’s a dive bar) but everyone was so friendly. Our waitress told us about all the weekly specials, Prime rib Wednesday, brunch and bingo, Sunday. I will be back.
Oh and the special smores old fashioned was perfect.

I had a salad and we split some toasted raviolis for the table. My salad was great the ingredients were fresh. The service was very good. There was live music as well and the artists were very good. We had a table near the back and the music was loud enough to get attention but not too loud to enjoy dinner.

I can’t believe there were so many bad things happening I had to leave a review.
I will NOT be returning.
First, food prices are surprisingly high. I ordered an appetizer and a beer, which both were $1 off for happy hour (4-7 I think). I placed this order around 6pm, and stayed till 7:50. When I asked for the check I saw the happy hour deal wasn’t applied, and the person behind the bar said that I had to close the tab before 7. This shocked not only me but everyone at the table. Not only was I overcharged, but the food was incorrect too. My bread with meatballs and bacon had blue cheese randomly on it, and one of the people I was with got very burned bread to go with their artichoke dip, which said it came with Pita instead. I didn’t say anything at the time because I wanted to support them since it was not busy at all, knowing I got overcharged for it I would not have suffered through eating that.

The food was amazing. The mimosas were also amazing! And our server was the cutest little thing! We had a blast. It was our first time there. We will definitely be going back.

A swing and a miss on Mother’s Day. Getting a table, even with a reservation, was a disaster. One person was trying to seat customers, bus tables, coordinate food, and direct wait staff. Even with a reservation, and we showed up early, took 30 minutes to get a table. Once seated, took 5 minutes to get our drinks ordered. (2 of 3 drinks were brought to us 15 minutes later. Water was missing and we had to go to the bar to get our own water) The food at the buffet was just one step above a hotel breakfast. Everything was cold and starting to dry up. The only food not bland was the brisket, yet it was also barely warm. All others had little flavor. It’s a shame. We’ve been to Dive Bar before and have had good food. We will NOT be going back for any brunch offerings in the future.

Pictured is the $12.50 whiskey sour that my wife ordered tonight. This drink is nothing like what she has had before nor does it match the menu description, also pictured. When we asked our waitress, the bartender said there were no eggs available for the egg whites. It tasted like a cheap drink from a sour mix with plain whiskey, not a hand crafted cocktail. I doubt it was Yellowstone whiskey either.
We have been here several times with friends for happy hour or music, and once for whiskey club and never had an issue until Mother’s Day brunch this year. No coffee, late drinks or no refills. We ordered a pitcher of cocktails and it was undrinkable. My wife talked to the bartender, same as our guy tonight, and he basically blew her off. Our waitress comped it, but the service really is an issue here. It annoyed my wife enough that we have not been back since until tonight, even though we love the music and have gift certificates.
A party of 8 tonight received our meals over the span of 20+ minutes in three different shifts. One of our people saw the last three plates (Wednesday’s steak night) sitting for several minutes and got up herself to get our food. The waitress didn’t even apologize.

Good place to have lunch or brunch at Columbia. This place is a bit run down looking which complements its name. Inside decor is good, ambience of the place is also nice. Brunch menu is short which makes it easier to select food. Food quality and quantity is also nice. We orderd breakfast sandwich and loaded burrito. Both were tasted very good. Service of the restaurant is also very good. Will definitely visit again.

Nearly perfect Valentine dinner date with my wife. The food was extremely tasty with good portions. Beginning with a nice mixed green salad followed by grilled mussels. The singer Guitarist had perfect song selection for evening dinner – not too loud but lyrics clearly understood. Bobbie and other waitress had the exact balance of attending to use without becoming “in our face” in other words they did not try too hard. The main course – Beef Wellington with saluted asparagus and thin sliced rosemary potatoes was as good as any fine eatery in the state! My wife’s parm crusted sea bass was nearly perfect as was her rice pilaf and vegetables. The 10 layer chocolate cake pictured was absolutely amazing. We WILL return the Dive Bar.
