    Old-fashioned ice cream parlor located inside Hinkle's Restaurant
    Eugenia H.

    Columbia's legacy, Hinkle's Restaurant, has stood the test of time since 1893. Although there is no longer a pharmacy, the restaurant, ice cream parlor, and general store/gift shop, Murphy's Mercantile, are still going strong. Hickle's offers an extensive menu for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. My spinach blueberry dalaf with chicken was fresh and delicious. Hinkle's has friendly, excellent service and offers a lovely dining experience in a quaint historic venue. Free parking is provided behind Hinkle's.

    Food , service, and historical significance. It does help that my wife has on her famous workout outfit with her new hightop puma's.

    The Dirty Dog with battered Fries and Dill Spear

    This is our new favorite restaurant. The Restaurant , Soda Fountain , and Mercantile are a great place to eat and shop. Very unique gifts. We stopped for lunch and my Wife always orders Breakfast. Eggs over easy, crispy Bacon, Home Fries and she loves their Toast . The Bread tastes like it's freshly baked and butter on both sides. My wife has called me a "Dirty Dawg" , so that's what I ordered; " The Dirty Dog". A grilled Hot Dog on a toasted roll, covered with fresh onions, peppers, bacon and beer mustard with a side or of battered Fries and a Pickle Spear. Delicious! You must try this place! They have great daily specials. I'm tickled they have a sandwich named after me. lol - Tim and Judy (Julie R was an excellent Server and all the other Staff who made this trip worthwhile) Don't forget to sign up for the Rewards Program.

    The last 2 Sundays, the young women greeting customers need a lot of training. Very rude telling people about their wait time.

    3/5, have gone back, and will, but mostly due to convenience and service…read more Fries are good, pretzels are made in house, and I do like the French Dip sandwich, but mostly go for the environment, service, and not the food or the value. Really wish I liked the food more because it's fairly mediocre for the price. The cheese that came with the pretzels was in the bigger cup like it used to be, but do appreciate that they now served prosecco too. IG: lanco.food.dude

    We were in the area for a specialist appointment for my granddaughter and decided to check Yelp for…read morea nearby lunch spot. We came across blue-collar restaurant, but when we pulled in, I was surprised to see it was located inside a golf country club. I almost turned around, but my daughter encouraged us to give it a try--and I'm so glad we did. The restaurant was beautiful inside, with a peaceful view overlooking the golf course that made for a really relaxing lunch. The food was excellent. I ordered the salmon with vegetable risotto special, and it was absolutely delicious--perfectly cooked and full of flavor. What really stood out, though, was the service. My daughter is nursing, and my granddaughter has soy and dairy allergies, so we had to be very careful with her meal. Our waiter, Matt, was outstanding. He went above and beyond, checking with the kitchen multiple times to make sure everything was completely free of soy and dairy. He helped put together a custom salad bowl for her, which she thoroughly enjoyed. Overall, we had such a lovely experience--from the food to the atmosphere to the attentive service. I would absolutely recommend this spot and would gladly return.

    I'm not sure where to start except to say thar John Jeffries in one of the best dining experiences…read moreI've had in Central PA. Five absolutely well-earned stars. I visited as part of a work related event and was able to enjoy both the bar and dining room. The bar selections were first-rate and while not extensive they were well-considered. John Jeffries specializes in local farm to table ingredients. I enjoyed a watercress potato soup followed by the Puedmontese grass-fed petite beef steak. Both were absolutely delicious. The service was first-rate: friendly and attentive without being obnoxious and VERY well-trained to a level you'd expect in a much larger city. Can't wait to bring my companion back for a visit that I know she will love.

    First, I love the rustic meets modern aesthetic here. I'm a sucker for exposed brick and stone,…read moreconduit and other throwback "finishes". The hotel lobby and bar are welcoming and represent entree to this small eatery. This place features local farm items so the menu is always subject to change. We went to celebrate an anniversary (not ours) and it was a nice welcome for the server to offer the celebrants complimentary prosecco. From there, it was an adventure. Three of us had the shrimp and grits, which, uniquely, were not the typical southern dish but an earthy creation featuring very barley forward grits that also included very chunky carrots and other enhancements I am at a loss to identify. Good, but a surprise for my southern shrimp and grits-expecting palate. The shrimp were pretty overcooked and detracted from the barley-enhanced grits. Two enjoyed the wedge salad. For mains, two enjoyed the shrimp bisque, and the pan fried boneless chicken breast. I had the meatloaf and found it to be a bit gamier than expected likely due to using grass fed beef. The mushroom gravy was nice despite some of the mushrooms having gone over the rainbow bridge. The tallow fried potatoes were luscious despite one being undercooked. The desserts were interesting and all supposedly made in-house. I had the mint chocolate chip ice cream which I found somewhat grainy and crystallized and very lacking in mint flavor. The flourless chocolate cake will likely shock you with its petiteness, but trust me, it packs a wallop of richness that will probably satisfy you. The tres leches cake and honey lavender crème brûlée got high marks. Overall we all liked the ambiance, and were somewhat disappointed with the food. 3.5* rounded down to 3*.
