Awesome meal and incredible service. The steak was amazing and the rolls are just yum! The only criticism I'd give is the bathroom, ladies, could use some work. Otherwise it's a great place and great atmosphere! read more

Went in at a slower time because I thought it was a good time to get fresh food and good service... The server was decent, not great, not bad. The food... not so great. Ordered a medium steak.. I think I got leather maybe? Not sure. Wanted more rolls and didn't get those. Sadly, the 2 rolls I had were the best part of my $40 meal. read more

Stopped in for lunch while in Dickson for work since a coworker recommended it. I came in thinking about a grilled chicken salad but then Tammy said that smoked sirloin was available and I should consider it. I ordered the smoked sirloin , it came with a small chunk of corn on the cob and 2 sides. I did get my salad as one option and green beans as the other. I was also brought 2 hot rolls and cinnamon, I thought they might be like Texas Roadhouse, soft and delicious, but these were hard like a crusty bread. While the one I had was good, just not something I would get again. The salad was probably the best thing I had while here, a good mix of greens and other vegetables. The smoked sirloin was ok, had a great crust of seasoning but was dry. The corn was soggy not roasted and crisp while the green beans tasted like they were out of a can. The creamy horseradish sauce was great but the au jus tasted similar to 'Better than Bullion' too salty for my taste. The restaurant was clean, but AC cranked up to the point of discomfort. I thought this place was ok, fine to try but I would not go out of my way to go back, and would try other places before returning read more

Walking into Colton's Steakhouse feels like stepping into a boot-stomping Western movie set--with a menu. It's all wooden booths, vintage signs, and the faint crunch of peanut shells underfoot (because yes, they still do that). It's the kind of place where the servers call you "hun" and the tea is sweet enough to double as syrup. I settled into a cozy booth and ordered the sirloin and shrimp combo because I believe in land and sea getting along. While I waited, they brought out warm rolls with honey butter that were dangerously good--like, "I'll-just-have-bread-for-dinner" good. Then came the steak: seared just right, juicy inside, and begging for a splash of steak sauce that it honestly didn't need. The shrimp? Butter-soaked, grilled to perfection, and lined up on my plate like they knew they were the sidekick but didn't mind. The vibe was loud in a fun way--families laughing, folks clapping for someone's birthday, and country music humming just under the chatter. It's not fine dining, but it's good ol' Southern comfort wrapped in mesquite smoke and casual charm. By the time I left, I was full, happy, and contemplating whether I could talk them into selling a tub of that honey butter to-go. Colton's isn't fancy--it's better. It's familiar. read more

We were immediately sat for a lunch on Friday! The service was really quick and we had no issues with refills, utensils, or anything. The food was delicious, but you can tell it wasn't "fresh" by any means. The vibes were very country, but you can tell it's an older restaurant. Overall it's a fine option for a small town, but I wouldn't say it's the best thing I've had. read more

We stopped here when heading back home. Place was comfortable and clean. The steaks were cooked just right. The waitress staff was friendly.

My wife and I stopped in for lunch, and we were not disappointed. The food was very good. Our server was outstanding, she kept us informed about our orders, and was very attentive, we didn't have to ask for anything twice. The restaurant was very friendly well staffed and very welcoming. We've been there a couple times and we have been very pleased. The restaurant is very family friendly and we look forward to our next visit. read more

stopped in with my sister who was visiting from Washington State and had some lunch before we went shopping nearby. We both liked our meals, just did not amaze us. Our waitress was on point, and we did enjoy our lunch visit. I have been here several times in the past and there has never been an issue; it's just an average lunch place. I have never eaten a steak here as I haven't been in for a dinner meal. I am wanting to try it though, but traveling 45 minutes just for dinner is a bit much. read more

Always great food! Always great service! Casual environment! Great steaks, salmon, salads, and chicken! Loaded chicken is always a go to! Delicious desserts! Try the brownie or the cookie! read more

We were back in Dickson and headed back to Coltons. The results were the same. Consistently great food and service!

EVERYTHING!! Service good atmosphere was all amazing!!!! Make this your first stop for great food!!! read more

Come hungry !! No I'm serious. Delicious food and huge portions. Starting off with delicious yeasty rolls and honey butter. Got two appetizers the potato skins and mozzarella sticks. They were very very good. Only complaint is that the skins came with ranch and not sour cream. Dinners were again pretty darn good. Steak bites and smashed Potatoes were my order and perfectly done. Two burgers for the kids. And again delicious. They forgot the cheese on my sons but it was remedied immediately and they melted it too. Husband got sirloin and ribs. Again very good. And his sweet potato was delicious (according to him). I would recommend this to anyone Daughter and son got burgers. They looked very good and were perfectly cooked. They forgot the cheese on my sons but quickly remedied it and even melted it up for him. read more

The ambiance is about what you'd expect -- a little outdated, but fits the stereotype for chian steak places. The service was prompt and friendly. The food was mediocre. The steak was well cut and well prepared and the sweet potato fries were a hit; but the country fried steak was no better than a frozen one from the grocery store (although is was a large portion). The salads were average, and the dressings taste store bought -- nothing special. The baked potatoes were on the smaller side of average, but they were cooked properly. Overall, my family all agreed that we would eat here again if we were at this exit and needed lunch; but none of us felt like we would choose it as a destination, and might opt for Logan's which is almost next door. read more

The bones for the ribs are wiggly for some reason The mesquite chicken, it tastes sour. The atmosphere was really good other than one random kid screaming at the top of his lungs. Service was good. read more

Our experience here was absolutely fantastic! Our waitress, Miranda, was beyond what we expected. She made us feel welcome and valued at guests. Our drinks never went dry and our orders were delivered perfectly. Top notch service all around! Highly recommend this restaurant and more importantly, Miranda. For a meal you wont forget and an experience you thought didnt exist anymore, go see Miranda at Coltons! read more

I ordered fish and chips. When the fish came out, the batter was so thick, it did not cook all the way through. Raw batter. The piece of cod inside was very small. I could not eat since the breading wasn't cooked through. The fish pieces looked large, but after the breading came off, the actual fish was less than 1/3 the size of the serving. Very disappointed. A waste of money. Our server Heather, was spectacular. Definitely will not order this again or recommend it. The food there used to be very good but now questionable. Again, very disappointed. Went there hungry and left there still hungry. read more

Rolls are good. Catfish is the worse I ever ate. Had real bad fishy taste. My friend with us said she saw a cockroach in the bathroom. Steaks are good but will never get catfish again. Fishy taste means it's cheap grade of fish and the vein was not cut outta it. Probably won't go to this Colton's again read more

Got a steak and it was very difficult to cut into The service was not real good. There was so hair all in the food She only came when she was bringing stuff.there was roaches all over the place mainly in the bathroom. read more

Best steak I've had in ages! Seated quickly. Food took a little longer than others, but the wait was well worth it! Love the cleanliness and atmosphere of the restaurant. Steak fries were great and the service was fantastic. If I could give 10 stars then I would. It was our first visit, but we will definitely be back! read more

Service was stellar! So attentive and friendly. Clientele was locals which tells you the price is reasonable and food is good. We enjoyed it. Wish we were hungrier because dessert looked amazing. read more

I ordered take out on a Tuesday night. I tried to use curbside but no one ever came out. I ended up going inside. It was ready and the hostess handed it to me right away. I ordered the catfish dinner with broccoli and fried okra. There were literally seven pieces of fish on this plate. I was so shocked. It was really good too. The broccoli was just ok..no seasoning or butter...just broccoli. The okra was nice and fresh with a crunch. Also, they didn't give me any plastic cutlery for my dinner. They lost a star for that, no curbside and the tasteless broccoli. read more

Stopped by on vacation. Food was good but nothing special. The he place was pretty empty for going on five o'clock service was ok. Looks like it could use a spruce up and cleaning read more

Mediocre food. Poor service. Brought entree before finished with salad. Server never came to ask how the food was.

So let's set the stage for this meal: In 1996, a group of entrepreneurs and restaurateurs combined their total of over sixty years of successful restaurant and real estate experience to develop a concept that later became Colton's Steak House & Grill. Their vision was to open a steak house anyone could walk into and feel at home, have fun, relax, eat delicious food, and enjoy excellent service in an atmosphere with the feel of the "American West." So where did the name come from you ask? This is the story I love: J.T. Colton was a Texas Ranger in the late 1800's with a passion for big steaks and playing poker. J.T. was a friend, fellow lawman and gambling buddy of Sheriff Matthew Dillon. Matt owned a steakhouse and gambling hall in Dodge City, Kansas, called Dillon's Tin Star Saloon. When J.T. wasn't chasing desperados in Texas, he spent most of his time in Dodge City, playing cards at Dillon's and trying to tell Matt how to run things. Legend has it that J.T. proceeded to win the Tin Star Saloon from Matt in a four-day poker game that took place in a back room at Dillon's between J.T., Matt, a guy named Holiday and several other gamblers of questionable character. There was speculation that Matt lost on purpose because he was tired of J.T. telling him how to run his business. J.T. promptly gave up being a lawman, changed the name of Dillon's Tin Star Saloon to Colton's Steak House and Grill, and spent the rest of his days cooking up the best steaks east of the Rockies. In his later years, he returned to Texas where he opened a Colton's in his hometown of Moose River. (Moose Creek, North of Waco) (Most of this is from the Colton's Website and thought all should know the story!) So I always love stopping in at a Colton's as the food is always good and so is the service! This trip was no exception. I was craving a salad and baked potato along with a ribeye. All were perfectly prepared, great quality, wonderful taste and absolutely super friendly service! JT should be proud to have his name on this place! It was easy to find, well maintained, and really great staff inside! read more

BLUF: This is conveniently located next to a Quick Trip, which is good if you are a truck driver. I got the country-fried steak with mashed potatoes and bread pudding for dessert. All was exceptionally satisfying! There is a nice ambiance in a family-style steak house with a very attentive wait staff. read more

I want to shout out the manager (I assume) of this location!! I don't know his name, but he is tall with a goatee and mustache. He was incredibly quick to come and help out when things got slow, and did it with a smile in a friendly manner. I also noticed him talking with his employees in an encouraging and warm tone, overall making the environment friendly and welcoming. Thank you sir!! And the food was great as always. read more

Went here for first time had the blooming onion thang as an appetizer for my entree I had the chicken fried steak it was on point and the gravy was also d Lish keep up the good work! read more

Colton's is pretty good. It wouldn't be my first pick, but it's better than its nearby competitors. The decor is a little unappetizing... (taxidermy)... Steaks are just okay. Kind of disappointing for it to be a steakhouse. Their onion blossom is great: Salad is good. Rolls are good. Servers are usually fine. Not great service, but I've had worse. Prices are not bad. read more

This place was good. Your usual steakhouse. The bread was fresh and butter was good. My son had the Philly cheesesteak sandwich, he really enjoyed it. My mesquite grilled salmon was grilled to perfection, the green beans needed a little seasoning but overall it was good. My man had the Hawaiian steak with baked potato and mac n cheese. He said it was all excellent. read more

My sisters came in from Michigan so we took our aunt out for dinner. I ordered a New York strip steak the meat was so tough I couldn't even hardly cut it let alone chew it. Was really looking forward to a steak. I didn't complain I just wanted to leave and not come back read more

I come here a lot bc it's quick from the house and decent food. It's better than Logan's for sure BUT the service is def hit and Miss. so, I started only sitting at the bar. If you sit at the bar, the service is excellent and the food is fresh and hot. Almost every time I come here I get one of two things- the smoked sirloin which is excellent IF you can get it cooked to the right temperature. Anything beyond medium rare and you're going to get well done no matter what. Second choice is their chicken strips which are great w their honey mustard. Side I get is always the wedge salad. It's delicious with their ranch dressing. read more

A friend prevailed on me to visit this establishment- but only after speaking with two other acquaintances. All agreed on the quality of the food and the service. Only one thing disturbed me: the size of the portions! They're quite large and quite tasty. Now I have never been a "big kid" with a big appetite so I found it impossible to finish the entree. However, one of my companions displayed no resistance when offered the "leavings." Having never been an aficionado of interior design, I leave it to others to make up for the slack! read more

We thoroughly enjoyed our steaks (cooked exactly as ordered) and our salads. Very competitively priced for a steak house. We pay twice the price at any steakhouse in Nashville for steaks that are not as good as ours were. I've recommended it to friends and they've all enjoyed it. Good job Colton's!! read more

This place was recommended by the hotel desk clerk, so we tried it in spite of the 3- 1/2 stars on Yelp. I ordered a hamburger patty, which turned out to be a very thin patty that otherwise would have been presented on a bun... Definitely not what I was hoping for, but Dickson is a small town. Everybody else's food looked OK. Probably not a a destination restaurant, but again OK for Dickson. read more

Went on a Saturday night to celebrate my father's 80th birthday (at his request) The restaurant was beyond filthy, we had the worst service. Our server was probably the most unfriendly person I've ever encountered in a service position. This server was incredibly unprofessional when we asked about deficiencies on what we were served vs what was received. Management came to our table and offered to offset our bill but even management was a little on the condescending side. I wouldn't go back to this place if you paid me. read more

Picked up dinner from here tonight and everyone enjoyed their meal. 3 people had ribeyes, 1 had chopped steak, and I had steak tips. Despite the restaurant being extremely busy, our order was ready and correct at the assigned time. Will definitely be back! read more

Dream Girl and I took Sis to Colton's for a birthday dinner. She had heard it recommended and wanted to try it. We were lucky as we got there just before a lot of people showed up. We were seated in a large booth at once. A few minutes later I went to the car for a minute and was amazed at the people waiting. Our server was Crystal, and she was attentive and got our orders as soon as we had looked over the many items on the menu. I had chicken fried steak (white gravy with just the right amount of pepper) and with a good orange, strawberry, pecan, and lettuce salad. The others had shrimp (one fried and one grilled). We had two iced teas and a vodka tonic which I was told was just fine. The iced tea was good, too. No desserts as we were too full and had to ask for go boxes. I checked out the men's room and it was clean and had soap and towels. We heard two other tables receive the birthday greetings - pretty loud and much clapping. Sis and I never tell a restaurant about a birthday celebration as they are usually pretty goofy; this one met that definition, but we had said nothing. Dinner as described was $59 plus a tip. I felt we received good value for our money. I would like to return and get a "real" steak, but I am glad I got the chicken fried one as I like them and they are hard to find around here. read more
