I do not leave many reviews, but had to leave one for Hinkle’s. The super cute old time soda counter is why we decided to stop in. We were in the area on vacation, and were wasting time in a nearby antique shop when the security guard heard me say Hinkle’s. He directed me to a “golden ticket” coupon for a free scoop of ice cream, just a little extra. But anyway, the ice cream counter is not the only thing “old fashioned” about Hinkle’s. The staff were so pleasant and truly kind, the food was very good quality, hot and fresh, and at a very reasonable price. They really make you feel welcomed, even the hostess I was blocking as I stood up from my booth to snap a pic of the counter while it was empty. The appetizer sampler was the best we have had in years. The chicken tenders were actually nice, big, whole tenders too. Even the restroom stop made me smile, with old fashioned toilet paper holders! If we lived nearby, we would be regulars for sure. We will be stopping by next time we are in the area. A small treasure amid the overpriced tourist traps in the area.

My parents talked very highly of this place so my girlfriend and I decided to try it out and overall I was fairly disappointed. We ordered a blt and chicken tenders. The blt had two little pieces of bacon on it and I paid two dollars to add hot honey to my meal and it was just enough honey to cover the bottom. I asked if I could have more honey because it was so little and they said they would have to charge me two more dollars. Food was decent the fries were seasonless and somewhat cold. Onion rings were alright.

The liver and onions were delicious, nice portion size, very well done. Macaroni & Cheese was delicious also, nice portion. My husband got the very good homemade chicken pie, nice portion size. Would recommend for home style delicious food, very nice size servings. First time there, will return. Friendly personnel. Good food items to choose from, can’t wait to try them all. Good location in Columbia,Pa., has ample parking.

Hinkle’s Restaurant in quaint, historic Columbia is a must-visit for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
Hinkle’s history dates back to its start in 1893. It no longer fills prescriptions but is still going strong with its dining experience, an old-fashioned ice cream parlor, and shopping at the gift shop/Murphy’s Mercantile, which offers locally independent products.
The extensive food menu offers breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I chose the Spinach Blueberry Salad with chicken, and my friend chose Tacos with rice. Both were fresh and delicious. Service was fast and friendly.
Free parking is available behind Hinkle’s.

We stopped by on a busy Sunday, so we didn’t mind the wait. The service provided by Anya was outstanding! She was attentive and personable. Our 3 meals came out just as ordered and we were all pleased with lunch & dessert. Anya offered to take a photo of our group and welcomed us back to see her.

Great local restaurant with a diner old fashioned feel, if has been in business for over 100 years. Food was great and service people friendly. Right off route 30, perfect place to grab a bite to eat.

This is a wonderful restaurant that will take you back in time. The old-fashioned soda fountain and general store/gift shop are very quaint. Bright and open atmosphere, delicious food, and friendly staff will make your visit memorable. Easy access to Route 30 and located within walking distance to many local shops. We would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a great place to relax and enjoy a delicious meal.

Our meal started off very disappointing as I had called and made a reservation over a week before, yet when we arrived they had no record of this and said they weren’t supposed to be taking reservations for that day. We ended up being sat at two separate tables which was especially disappointing as some guests drove over and hour for the family meal.
The food was good and we liked our server but likely will not return given the unreliableness of reservations here.

Upon entering Hinkle’s, I was taken in by how pretty the atmosphere was and how clean everything appeared. It really reminds me of an old-fashioned soda shop and even has a general store/gift shop.
The service was outstanding and although there seemed to be a lot of employees verses customers, they all were attentive and friendly. The food was very good. I had the grilled ham and cheese with lettuce, tomato and pickle and it was yummy. The fries are home cut and could use the recommended second frying to get crispy, but still nice enough.
I will definitely be back!
