I was in Columbia for a family wedding and Billiards was on the list of recommended restaurants. In…read morethe description and recommendation, it said that the burgers here were a favorite of both groom and bride. Even the grooms father insisted on eating at Billiards whenever he was in town. With all those recommendations, I knew where I was dining my first night in town. I was just a short stroll down from my hotel, so it was easy to get there. Lucky for me, I arrived at the perfect time. Shortly after my arrival, the place filled up. I took a seat at the bar and after reading the menu, I made my choices. For my adult beverage, I chose, Hide Tide a craft beer from the local brewery, Logboat. I also went with the, Logboat Burger. It's a burger served on a pretzel bun, with bacon, jalapeno and a house made Snapper IPA beer cheese. I had them hold the tomato. Their fries are fresh cut from Idaho potatoes and they are hand cut according to the menu. Fresh fries are the best. My bartender/server was attentive and it was fun watching the cooks prepare all the burgers on a grill directly behind the bar. The bar is very casual, and it's exactly what Professor Hill was singing about in, Music Man. All burger lovers have to stop by Billiards and enjoy one of the best, if not the best burger in Columbia.

Stopped in while spending the day in Columbia and had the Logboat burger. It was pretty yummy. I…read morelike a place that uses fresh, not frozen, beef. The cheese sauce was great. The pretzel bun was yummy and buttery. Service was good. She was friendly and checked on me a couple times but wasn't annoying about it. Kind of a hole in the wall vibe about the place but it was very chill.

Sometimes the wait for a table can be long, or not at all if you come off peak times. Simple menu…read moreand quick service. Love the hamburger here and you can't beat the prices. Hamburger $5 - Delicious, no frills (comes with fresh onion, sliced pickles, ketchup and mustard). Tax is already included. The potato chips are good, not sure how much a bag cost because they don't give you a bill at the end, just a total. I tried the Old Vienna of STL Red Hot Riplets. It wasn't very spicy, but has good flavor. Cash only. .|\---/| | @_@ | ..\_^_/..2024

One of America's finest burgers - all in a place that defies time.

Probably last remodeled in 1910 or earlier, the setting is like walking back in time. Speaking of strolling back, if you do, you'll find plenty of places for a game of pool. Tavernesque and perfect in all its glory. Nice guys behind the counter. Recommended.

The flavor was fantastic. *The onion rings were also hand breaded and perfect. *The Wings were awesome. Just enough sauce and very meaty. *Beer was cold & sweet tea was good!!

The menu was basically bar food so I choose a burger and husband had a chicken caesar wrap. Both were very good. The lettuce and tomato on my burger were fresh. I added sautéed onions. We both chose kettle chips for our side. Lots and lots of chips. Service was excellent. Our server greater our table often and made sure we had everything we needed. The added bonus was live music. The music was entertaining and still allowed us to have a conversation. They played some U2, Cranberries, and TLC while we were there.

A solid place to stop by!…read more We came during an extended weekend trip for lunch, drinks, and the pool. We were seated pretty quickly but this place DOES fill up fast (that includes the pool). The front has a place to order different t shirts from the wall then there's a small indoor seating area and a lot of patio seating outside. We ordered the jumbo crab rangoons, jalapeno poppers, and club sandwich. Although there was a bit of a wait the food was good and had good portion sizes which helps if you're there day drinking. Our waitress was friendly and helpful although a bit on the slower side with checking in and bringing items we requested. We waited about 20 minutes to get boxes and our checks. If you walk down the stairs from the restaurant there's the gated pool area. As it was summer it was packed even on a weekday. There's bars and bathrooms right next to the pool as well as a swim up bar. This was helpful since we had to get out to order drinks we at least didn't have to go far. Although it was a nice vibe I didn't enjoy that it felt like a hot tub especially in the summer and while drinking. In knowing a large amount of ppl come for the pool I would've hoped they cooled the water down & circulated the water better. Additionally a bit of added staff or security would be helpful to ensure ppl aren't getting ridiculous. I saw someone passed out in a chair from drinking too much and someone else falling over into the chairs unable to walk because of how intoxicated they were. Ofc we're all adults and should be able to control our drinking but ppl prove that theory wrong every time. It caused a bit of an issue with ppl & their stuff being trampled by ppl too drunk to walk and no staff around to help. For those who don't know the added another add on to the location off to the right side of the property. This includes a stage for performances which is cool! Although there isn't a restaurant like there is at the main pool there are food trucks which is a cool concept to get different types of food. Overall will be back to check out the other side.
