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

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 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

Good food, great ambience, servers are typically attentive and the place is always clean. They keep a steady flow of customers and I always enjoy a sweet treat at the end of my meal. 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

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

My dad wanted a club sandwich , but without Turkey. I kid you not. The waitress said " We can't do that. We sell so many of them we make them ahead of time. " They can't be changed. So... Not only are the Club sandwiches not fresh you can't get it your way. Sadly people give this average place ,above average ratings. In all fairness they also think , Moonlight, Cheddar's, and Golden Corral are great places. There will never be a decent place in this town until people demand more than average. read more

The food was great and the staff were all friendly and attentive. I met with a friend who was bringing a 1 year old and I was concerned that it might not be the right place but it's family friendly and it was a great choice! read more

Really had a lovely meal here. It was a recommendation from friends. Maybe one of the best filets I've ever had. I think we may have to return. Long wait to get in on a Thursday night. That was the downer. But we are here for the week so we may go back! read more

Came here for a business trip, and the restaurant was a nice find! I ordered the cajon shrimp and scallop pene, and a side salad. The salad comes with their signature cheesy bread (delicious) and their ranch dressing is made in house ... and is soooo good. Our table also ordered an appetizer of the nachos and spinach/artichoke dip. The food was great, atmosphere was good, and our service was good. I also ordered a LIT which came in a big mason jar, and trust me ... 1 is enough! read more

Great place to go on a date or to hang with friends. Love this family owned restaurant! One of our favorite places to have lunch too. Ask for Molly and she will go above and beyond to serve you! Food great, love everything we have tried. 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

We visit Colby's often. The service is excellent and the food is, too! Located in a beautiful, old, downtown building, the location is easy to find and usually has plenty of parking. The menu has a ton of choices that can fit anyone's tastebuds. This place is a GEM! read more

So surprisingly excellent! I had pork chops and a loaded bake potato! So delicious! Had the artichoke dip was so good that we cleaned the dish! This place is Definitely worth a visit! Very pleasant atmosphere with tile ceiling and brick walls. Excellent service from our waiter Dallon! read more

Stopped in for a late lunch-early dinner with the wife. The place was pretty quite. Ordered up some Gumbo for me and Loaded Potato soup for the wife. both were really good. A splash of Tabasco in the gumbo really made it spot on. We also ordered Nacho's and we enjoyed those as well. Oh yeah, they have the best sweet tea in Owensboro. read more

Love this place. Crab dip is killer. The pork chops are amazing and the Long Island Iced Tea is unforgettable.

It's in an interesting old building on an interesting old street, not far from the riverfront. I liked seeing the sports page above the urinal in the restroom, a very sports-bar thing to do. Saturday lunch was from the express menu, an Applebee's sort of feel to the offerings, from which no alterations appear to be allowed. I don't believe I read that on the menu. Food sensitivities (whether you personally have one or not) are always a great test of knowledge, training, and service. When a request for a gluten-free salad comes to the table minus the croutons (thank you) but with a slice of cheesy bread on top (oh no), you have to take away points. Ditto, when a request for a dairy-free item results in a scene like this. Us: Club sandwich with no cheese? Them: We make them up in advance, they all have cheese. Us: Is it melted on the sandwich? Them: No, you can take it off. No help from the server on that sort of thing, though she patiently watched us perform surgery on a sandwich with a knife and little cocktail napkin, looked at (but did not remove) the pile of cheese created, then asked if was going to be all right. Polite but passive, apparently untrained to handle situations like this in a more hospitable way. I'd like to have something complimentary to say about food and service, but "we survived" is the best I can muster. read more

Been here 3 times during the last couple trips to Owensboro and I haven't been impressed. I decided to give them another try tonight because they were so close to my hotel but I will definitely not be coming back. I personally did not enjoy the food, but I don't eat red meat, pork, or chicken so my options were limited. I have tried the salmon, Cajun shrimp linguine pasta, and the vegetable plate (what a joke!). Also, didn't appreciate that they simply picked out bacon out of my salad when I ask for replacement- I mean come on how much can a side salad really be costing them that they couldn't just make me a new one with no bacon. Not cool! read more

Colby's - Cajun shrimp and scallop linguine - Diners Near Me - Owensboro, Kentucky

Owensboro has some really good places to eat and this one is a favorite for my wife and I. The staff here is friendly and the food is good. The price is also reasonable for the food you get. My wife likes to get the fruit and chicken salad. This dish comes with mixed fresh fruit around a nice helping of chicken salad in the middle. It also has a very good orange moose that is there for dipping. When ever I bring the wife she asks that we go here just for this. I have gotten stuck on the Prime Rib and I'm not normally a big Prime Rib guy. I got it once though and can't seem to shake it. I have had the chicken fingers and they are very good as well. Good house salad and blue cheese dressing. My only criticism is that some times a younger staff member can be a bit aloof, but that is very seldom. Most of thiese folks are very friendly and welcoming. Good place and not a chain. If you get in town you should make this at least one meal. read more

Oh this is very good everything. Had a mocha drink and banana cream pie first. Pie made here and I've not had better anywhere. Amazing good. Main lunch is shrimp and scallops fettuccine and is also excellent. Service is same. Gotta come back for more. read more

Colby's - apparently was excellent chow!! - Diners Near Me - Owensboro, Kentucky

Colby's is a decent restaurant in a cool old building downtown. Three stars for the quality of food for the price point. I've ordered a range of dishes there from salads to pasta to steak to chicken, and every time it just hasn't "wowed" me. Service has been great actually most times I've been there and it's a cool atmosphere, I just think they could benefit from a chef/cook to spice up the dishes and modernize the menu a bit. read more

Very disappointed with the quality of the food here. The burger was dry and over-cooked, and the condiments looked like they were prepared the week prior. Zero vegetarian options, and the fish was dry as a bone. Service is slow. This place is popular with locals, primarily because there are few good options in Owensboro. Save your time and money. You can get a meal of superior quality at virtually any of the other 500 American food establishments in town. read more

Certainly one of my favorite places to dine in Owensboro. Friendly staff. If there's a problem, they promptly fix it. Certainly recommend stopping by. I rarely have any problems here. Food is good. I even explored the bar once. Wasn't too bad. read more

I love the atmosphere at Colby's. The service is always excellent & the food is great. They have a Long Island Ice Tea that will knock your socks off. It's so strong they only allow you to purchase two of them. I got the chicken tenders in buffalo sauce. The portions are large, which is nice since the prices are rather large on some items. Overall, a great place to eat & have a good time with friends. An Owensboro Classic. read more

I do t really have a favorite dinner because everything is so good. I love to try the specials too. Just thinking about it is making me hungry. read more

Colby's is an ok spot for dinner. They do have some pretty good steaks, but their fish is pretty lacking. And what fish they do have, they don't quite know how to cook. This is a pretty standard little restaurant. I'd say some here instead of a chain place but it doesn't really compare to the other gems around Owensboro. read more

If you're looking for hospitality and good solid comfort food this is the place for you. After a bad experience at a " fancy" restaurant in town , we ended up at Colby's and couldn't have been more pleased! Totally worth a visit!!! read more
