I love this restaurant. They are famous for their Long Island teas. Their nachos are great and chicken tenders in Buffalo sauce are delicious with homemade ranch. The Hawaiian ribeye is always juicy and cooked to perfection. Our House Chicken is good, not too spicy. I love every dish here. read more

Nice old building, good service, desert was good, service was good , you demanding verbiage for a review sucks.

The food was quite expensive and very boring. I know that's quite a harsh term, but it is very relevant to the experience I had dining with co-workers. The Cajun Shrimp and Scallop linguine honestly tasted like a spruced up version of Chef Boyardee. I ordered a key lime pie slice for desert and it honestly tasted like it came from a freezer section of the grocery store, or a easy bake jell-o cheesecake. I won't be back, overpriced for the quality of food. read more

First time dining at Colby's and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Our server Molly was amazing and very helpful. She has a true servant's heart. We had the spinach dip for an appetizer- it was good but needed garlic or more flavor and the chips weren't the best. But our burgers and fries were SO GOOD. The fries were perfect and salty. The banana pie was light and refreshing. I did have coffee with my dessert which was so nice to have the option but it wasn't the best coffee. I miss restaurants that have options of desserts and coffee so I really appreciated it. I'll definitely come back. read more

We love Colby's potato soup, went last month to get that delicious soup and was very surprised by what I brought home. Whatever it was, it was not potato soup, it had broccoli in it and zero potatoes. I called and they said they had recently hired a new chef and he accidentally mixed broccoli soup with the potato soup, so they gave me a credit for the soups to enjoy on another day. Today we picked up two orders of "potato" soup. It was again potato free and full of broccoli. I guess they no longer offer the famous potato soup, it's now some kind powdered cream of broccoli. Yikes! No thanks... sad to see a very popular dish leave the menu. read more

Colby's is my favorite restaurant in Owensboro KY. Great service, beautiful restaurant, and the food is always fabulous. I had the black bean burger today. It was just the right amount of spice. My husband had the chicken salad sandwich. It was a bit messy but he ate every bite and said he'd order it again. They brought sweet potato fries instead of regular fries for my husband. I don't like sweet potatoes but these were awesome! I will definitely order them next time. Our waitress today really went above and beyond. She worked a large section but refilled drinks every time we were beginning to get low. Plus she checked on us and all her tables frequently and brought food promptly. I wish I could remember her name, shame on me. She was amazing!! One of our favorite dishes is the salmon BLT. Super yummy! I highly recommend it. Our favorite appetizer is their loaded fries. Desserts are great too. read more

Reservations are highly recommended for Friday-Saturday nights. The Early Bird Special is a great deal and is served from 4-6 pm. The bar area has seating, and most tables on weekend nights have reserved signs on them, although the wait staff says. "they don't reserve seating in the bar area". The food is great, but with inflation everywhere, prices have gone up. In the past, quantity has suffered here with price increases. I haven't been to Colby's for several months, so I don't know what proportions you might get now. But whatever you get, it will be good. read more

The drinks are great and so is the food. A good place to take your in laws. I would recommend making reservations in advance around the holidays. read more

This is the only restaurant i consider when in the area. Owensboro doesn't seem to have top end dining. Colby's is your best choice for nicely prepared meal. Staff is friendly and professional. I recommend calling for reservations. They close at 8:00 so 6:30 is the latest time slit. They accommodate walk in customers, but I prefer to avoid the unknown. Menu has plenty to offer younger younger p people too. Arrive early and enjoy the river front, which is just a couple blocks away, before dinner. read more

Excellent value and selection on the Early Bird menu. Portions were excellent as was the food quality! Service for eight of us was excellent and timely! Five stars!!' read more

Our go to place for special occasions. Never disappoints. Best spinach artichoke dip anywhere !

Food was excellent fresh , I ordered a chili burger and it was cooked just right ,the waitress was attentive and kept checking on us. I enjoyed the ambiance even though it wasn't busy but that was because I was there on a Tuesday afternoon. read more

Lovely historic building in downtown Owensboro, Kentucky. Food and service were excellent. Highly recommend!

Great service and ambiance. The restaurant was in an older building with lotsa charm. The food was very good.

They are so pleased with themselves. Food is mediocre and its a little thin running on a past reputation.

We are from Louisville & are in town for a baseball tournament at Moreland Park. We got a recommendation to try this restaurant & it did not disappoint! For a appetizer we ordered the spinach & artichoke dip...delicious! My son & myself ordered the 3rd Street Burger. It was cooked perfect & juicy. I ordered the sweet potato fries & they were very tasty. My grandson ordered the flatbread pizza & he said it was great. My granddaughter ordered grilled cheese & she loved it. My daughter in law ordered the chicken salad & it was good as well. So you can't go wrong it you give it a try. If we come back to Owensboro we will definitely eat here again! Great service & staff read more

Great customer service, not a long wait time. Really enjoyed the salad and dessert. Our entrees were okay, my husbands steak was really tender but he said it wasn't flavored well. My penne wasn't flavored well either. Good experience. If we go back we will try different entrees! read more

Had a great meal here. It was quite busy (a Tuesday night at 6:15p) but I was promptly seated. Wait staff were courteous and attentive and the menu was diverse and reasonably priced. If you like potato soup, get theirs. Rich taste, big chunks of potato and a cheese topped piece of bread on the side. That alone was worth the visit. Casual, family diner with something for almost everyone. read more

First time in Owensboro. One of the best meals we've had in a while. The shrimp lousianne appetizer is a great start. I chose a cup of the gumbo over a salad and hit a home Run. I chose the Shrimp and grits which was a special of the day and the wife ordered the crab cakes. The leftovers made for a great next morning breakfast. We were in awe of the taste, presentation and authentic quality plus quantity of our food. Combine all this with our awesome bartenders and atmosphere of the whole place makes amazing. Wish I could take this place home with us read more

Visiting Owensboro for a concert. Asked a local for the best place to go for a local experience-not a chain. She suggested Colby's. The atmosphere of the restaurant = 5 We were seated at a table in the center isle = 3 I State this due to the fact we arrived at 4:45 pm and they were not busy. There were several booths available. I thought it was odd to put us in the center isle when there were available booths on both sides of the isle. Wait staff service = 4 She was courteous, friendly and knowledgeable regarding menu and special options. Kept drinks filled. Our main course was delivered to the table when we were half finished with our salads. We were offered horseradish and accepted. She forgot to bring it. She did provide when we asked about it. Food = 5 Steaks prepared as we requested. Salad was very fresh and flavorful. Chef's dessert - apple cinnamon cake was light and quite good. The bread served with the salad was soft (with a touch of cheese) and warm. Checkout = 5 Bill was correct and quickly processed. Extra questions = 5 We inquired about a specific type of store in the downtown area. Server was very helpful directing us of two available options. She wasn't put out by being asked. She was quite helpful. We definitely recommend and would return. read more

My friends and I met here for supper last Thursday. The ones from Owensboro rave about how great the place is. Coming in from out of town we were an hour late due to traffic. The ones that was from Owensboro went ahead and had drinks and appetizer while they waited. Their was 9 in our party, 3 late ones. The mushroom and gumbo was good according to my friends. I ordered the prime rib sandwich with sweet potato fries for side. The au jus was OK and the prime rib was good. Our wait staff asked how we wanted the check divided after she dropped off the food, prior to checking how the food was. As we got done eating she cleared the plates and dropped the checks, not even offering if anybody wanted dessert. I asked for a dessert menu and she stated, "you wanted dessert". On that note my reply was, "I guess not." The place was not very busy and it was only 8:30!!!! read more

Sat at the bar and the bartender Jenny I believe was very nice and attentive. Really good happy hour specials for drinks. Order the appetizer and the main at the same time and they made sure to bring out each meal at the appropriate time, which was nice. Food was good, nothing to write home about, but satisfying. read more

Had the lite lunch with blackened salmon, seasoned veggies (squash & zucchini), and sweet potato fries. I usually order this when I come and the salmon is always cooked perfectly! Some restaurants struggle with overcoming their salmon, not the case here. The squash and zucchini was perfectly seasoned, not overly salted. Probably the best veggie side I've had in a while. I'm obsessed with these sweet potato fries, never had them any better anywhere else! The reason I didn't give 5 stars is bc the service is hit or miss. This time it wasn't the best, it really depends on who you get. Most of their staff is excellent, a couple would do better working at Denny's. Also, the water tastes like it came from a toilet. Buy a water filtration system!!!!! read more

Our family always enjoys dining at Colby's when we are downtown Owensboro. They have the absolute best chicken tenders! Potions are generous so plan on taking some home:). Staff is very friendly and they go overboard to make sure you have a great experience! read more

Cool place! Stopped here for dinner with a coworker after a long day. Atmosphere is nice...older building (can smell when you walk in) located on first floor. Was not very busy at 8pm on Thursday. Waitress was very attentive without being overbearing. We split an order of loaded potato chips (not bad) and I went with a blackened salmon BLT (?!) with onion straws. Thought it sounded interesting...salmon was very good and tender with a nice peppery crust. Coworker went with blackened tilapia and enjoyed it. Overall not a bad dinner...I probably will try someplace different next time in town but would come back here again. Strikes me as a good date night place that I might frequent if I lived in the area. read more

This is a great place to eat. It is a little noisy in the dining room, but quieter in the bar area if you can get a seat. Try the Early Bird special from 4-6 daily. It is the best deal in town. Call ahead for reservations, especially for Friday and Saturday. Looking forward to the opening again after the governor releases the restrictions. read more

My husband and I have been here several times. It has a cool atmosphere and the building has lots of neat architecture. The service is always nice and friendly. My favorite thing to get here is the grilled salmon BLT with caper mayonnaise. It comes with a side and I usually order the wedge salad which is a wedge of iceberg lettuce, homemade blue cheese dressing, tomatoes, and bacon. My husband and I also like to split a 1/2 order of the loaded home fries which is homemade kettle chips topped with shredded cheese, sour cream, and chives. Delicious! My only complaint is that their food doesn't seem consistent. Don't get me wrong, their food can be delicious, but it does feel as if the quality fluctuates between every couple of visits. It could be a difference in chefs, I'm sure. However, we love that they're local and tasty so we will continue to visit! read more

We held our annual work dinner here this year. They have a spacious room and our table of 18 had plenty of room. We tried pretty much every appetizer and all of them were delicious and my favourite was the flat bread. Typically our work dinners in the past at other restaurants would have a fixed menu. Last night we all were able to order of the menu, and the kitchen and the server nailed it. The salads came out crisp and the dressings were homeade. Then the entrees were all perfectly timed. I had the filet, medium rare, and the temp was spot on. It had a nice sear on the outside and very tender on the inside. Just the way I like it. Needless to say, I cleaned my plate. I was impressed by our server, she was very attentive, kind and helpful. She served an 18 top and made it look effortlessly! Sorry I don't have any pictures...if I did, it would have been one of a cleaned plate, Delish! read more

Walking into this beautiful restaurant you can just tell that it's going to be a wonderful experience. We were greeted and seated promptly. As soon as we were seated Nathaniel came over and introduced himself and said he would be taking care of us. He did an excellent job! He offered to share his favorites on the menu and directed us to several choices. We ordered Beef Manhattan and Cajun shrimp and scallops. Both were delicious. Even the garden salads were really good. Both the food and service were impeccable! Thank you for a wonderful evening. read more

We had supper last night at this location and it was excellent. We were seated quickly and our drink order taken and delivered within 3 minutes. I ordered the Cajun Blackened Chicken Alfredo, which is one of their early dinner specials which includes drink and chefs dessert, and it was delicious. It had peppers, onions, plenty of chicken in a creamy Alfredo sauce. I wish it had been a tad spicier though. It came with a great salad starter which had cold, crisp lettuce, hard boiled eggs, bacon, and crotons. My wife had the Grilled Chicken Sandwich with onion petals that came with a chipotle sauce and she lived it also. My son had the Third Street Burger with bacon and pepper jack cheese with a side of waffle fries. He enjoyed those also. Service was great and it is a place I recommend. read more

We had reservations for tonight that we called in last night for 5 pm. We confirmed on the 5:00 pm. We arrived at 4:50 and said we had reservations and she said she couldn't seat us until our reservation time of 5:15 pm. We saw d we had 5:00 pm reservation she says they don't have 5:00 pm reservations on 5:15. So we sat in the waiting area until 5 and 2 other parties came in with out reservations and were seated immediately. Think there is something wrong with that picture. So I said we confirmed last night on the phone again for 5:00 pm. She says well I could seat you but your server won't be here until 5:00 PM. We said no we will go eat someplace else. So I give customer service a zero if I could. We were there for our 8 yr wedding anniversary but we will never go back. Sorry can't vouch for the food never got even a table or a server. read more
