This place is so generous with portions and the food quality is so good. I can’t forget to mention the bake goods! If you haven’t sampled I highly suggest you go grab whatever Robins cooking this week. I eat breakfast, lunch and dinner and if you ask which is my favorite I would say too much to mention.

Your food is very good. Service is great. Just be careful you don't price yourself out of business. Compare your prices to other restaurants.

I recently placed an order of a large quantity of soup after my father passed away unexpectedly. Not only did one of the owners, John, make the most delicious soup and rolls for my Mom, my sisters and my relatives, he tailor made it with special requests. John was one of the kindest owners and a wonderful man. He even carried out the heavy box across the street to the back of my vehicle. I will be frequenting this beautiful, historic and amazing restaurant with gratitude and gratefulness to John for his kind words and going above and beyond for my Mom and I after the unexpected death of my Dad. Seriously, this was the best chicken noodle soup and rolls I have ever had besides my Mom. My 93 year old Great Aunt ate the chicken and waffles for 3 meals in a row and raved about it. Delicious food, outstanding service!

I was a little disappointed that I had to wait so long to be seated. It took the host really long to check out a family of three and then to seat two parties. Once seated it took awhile to talk to our waitress. Then things became a bit more normal. They didn't seem to be short staffed nor over crowded. Our food was good for diner food. My wife enjoyed her icecream sundae. This is normally a decent place to grad a quick bite of comfort food in a community friendly environment. I would still recommend that you try this place - it is an above average diner.🙂

We stumbled upon this little gem - though it's clearly been a big part of this community. Service was friendly and helpful, food was humble and tasty, price was spot on. You will want to check it out!

This place has a lovely old-fashioned soda parlor inside where you can even sit at the counter! The crab bisque is some of the best that I have tasted. The restaurant is located in the very picturesque town of Columbia, PA, close to the Susquehanna River.

Great place, nice varied menu. Sweet waitress and an old fashioned soda fountain too! Love it, wish it was closer to home. I had the Crab stuffed flounder with grilled shrimp and hollandaise sauce on top plus snow peas. Al had the fried oysters and fried eggplant and corn fritters. He loved it, everything fried! Perfect!!!

We came in to get ice cream from their Ice Cream and Soda Shop. We sat at the ice cream counter. The sundaes were made right away. Everyone enjoyed their sundaes.
