Good breakfast! BEST HOME FRIED POTATOES EVER!! They taste fresh lunch made and are not greasy.Good service. Good coffee. Huge selection of omlets and you can customize them.They make their own pies and cakes. You can order whole pies.Very accommodating to diners with walking difficulties.Typical diner atmosphere with GOOD FOOD.
Excellent service. Food was amazing and large portions. Great prices. Cindy was our waitress and she was excellent. Definitely a go-to place for home-cooked type food. Definitely, definitely give it a try youll be surprised how good it is.
Clean, friendly old school diner with good food and efficient service.
I got the stuffed french toast (with strawberries) and it has the most filling in it out of anywhere else Ive ever gotten it,not to mention the strawberries are fresh,and also plentiful,this is now my go to spot with my childrenThere is never a long wait to get your food or to be seated,and the prices arent too high either.!The waitresses/waiters are friendly and very prompt,you never wait for anything! I HIGHLY recommend this place for any meal not just breakfast (which they do serve all day)
Local diner, consistent, OK food. But service was great. Had breakfast there today.. so much food we took home enough for breakfast at home tomorrow.
Our waitress was very patient with my family while my son tried to have a tantrum at the table. She was really nice. And their food is delicious!!
The food was so good 😋 I didnt have time to take a picture! I had the Philadelphia Omelette! Inside was beef steak, onions, peppers, and American cheese. Topped with marinara sauce! Um... Yum! 😋 Highly recommend this diner for a bite to eat. Friendly staff. Clean atmosphere. Also quick service! Definitely 😌 gets 5 stars!
The Columbia Diner is the place I always go in the mornings after a long stretch at work. The breakfast is always good and the staff is so nice and prompt. Id recommend them any time.
Always enjoy great food and service from this family owned business. Cindy is our favorite waitress and is always pleasant and greets you with a big smile!
Going in on an early Tuesday morning is the way to go. Prompt service. Very quiet. Food MTO, not rushed. One on one with your server. Food made quickly. I know many diners usually get SLAMMED with negative reviews because of poor service or bad food; however, to fully experience a diner in all its glory. Show up on an off day, early in the A.M. to avoid the crowds.
I love this diner. Everyone is so friendly. Cindy was our waitress and she is excellent at her job. 👏 I love love love the food. Never had a bad experience since I moved here 3 yrs ago.
Excellent food good prices but most of all plenty of help and everyone was working not just standing around
Nice stop! Loved the fried chicken ... total win! Chowder was good, salad was cold and crisp. Service was excellent!
We celebrated me fathers 91st birthday and Melissa was a excellent waitress for 10 people. Plus they made a fresh Coconut cake for our party.
Food was OK, server was attentive. My cream of broccoli soup was so thick it felt like I was eating pudding. Corn starch or flour rue, same results if you overdo it.
I like this restaurant, food is good my family likes the food and not so sure I will come back . All was well whe 2 people came in with there DOG . Not a seeing eye dog but a little dog . I could not finish the meal because my eyes started to water and nose started to clog up . Yes I have allergy to most dogs . The manager offered to pay for my meal but I declined. He apologized, and thank you for that .
Our server was amazing. She was welcoming, friendly and got everything right. Our food was delicious. The onion rings are going to be my must have there.
Okay here goes...the eggs with cheese - what restaurant DOES NOT incorporate the cheese into scrambled eggs and why white instead of yellow cheese? They just slapped the white cheese slices on top of the eggs.The pancake was so DRY - are these boxed pancakes? I only had 1 bite. The scrapple was not completely cooked - try thinner slices. Put some LOVE into the food.THE SERVICE WAS GREAT.*responded to the Owner** at 0107amActually, this was the 2nd time I been there - gave you ANOTHER chance.if the cheese was incorporated into the eggs, I wouldve tasted. Does not matter if youve been in business for 20, 30 or 50yrs - accept the constructive criticism and move on. But from your other responses, you seem NOT to accept negative feedback. Like I mentioned, put some LOVE into your food...from scratch. Again the service was great!
Good food and great service nice waitress at the bar prompt and friendly will definitely be back
Nice diner. Great staff
Waitress was respectful and plate was enough for two.. shhh. Keep that a secret... great place....
Food was terrible. Had dried beef gravy over toast, tasted like flour and had 3 hunks of dried beef in it.
The employees are very friendly. The food was less than wonderful...My sisters omelet and hash browns were unappetizing because the grease needed changed. My ham, though grilled, was cold.
Food good and hot. Potato soup great. Service good.
Great food at an affordable price. Waitstaff is on point.
Soon as you walk in the pie in the case looked crumbled and like it has been dropped several times. Cakes werent in much better condition . The coffee tasted like chewing on bark . Mothers dumplings were cold, nothing tasted good .
Good food. Reasonably priced.
Good food, wonderful service. Accommodates groups.
The best Westen Omelette I have ever had! I keep going back!
Very friendly fast service and amazing food
Breakfast was mediocre at best. I can make better food at home for 1/3 the price
My wife had the roast turkey dinner which was excellent; I had the ham loaf with mashed potatoes which was also good, but my granddaughters shrimp kids meal tasted like soapy water. Her rice pilaf was very good. The ice cream made up for the shrimp
Our waitress was very kind and courteous. Im not sure of her name but she is pregnant. I really enjoyed her service. I would recommend her.
Good food not so great decor
Love this place...The owner is very nice
My husband and I had lunch there yesterday, 2/15/2021 and the food was soo good and Cindy, our waitress, was great. I had the hot turkey platter and my husband had the salmon cake platter. YUM! We were seated right away, placed our order and got our food quickly. I highly recommend this diner for some good comfort food.
Theres been very few times when I go out for breakfast. Especially during 2020, but Columbia diner has always been an amazing staple of the community.They are taking serious precautions for those worried about things.The food is great and the people are always great and polite. Would highly recommend.
Waiter needs to take a clustered service 🙄 class....but...food was good
Newly renovated. Bright atmosphere & friendly service
Nice prices good food, clean and waitress very good
Its a good place to eat, the host(waitresses) are very courteous, theres one there that has a smile of joy, its like seeing the highly glow of well polished Gold!!!..hers is GENUINE💯💥🌹The food is delicious!
I favorite place to eat. Best soups I pick up a court often friendly atmosphere
I like going to this diner its one of my favorites in Lancaster
Good breakfast even better price
My mom and I had lunch there.so much food we couldnt eat it all! Pleasant, friendly waitress I really enjoyed eating there!😊
Quick service and food was good
Our family came for breakfast and the food was awesome!!! We were seated right away. The staff are very nice and it has a pleasant atmosphere.I ordered the steak with home fries and eggs and my food was cooked EXACTLY the way I wanted it. The steak had a nice light sear and it was cooked perfectly. It was very juicy and tender. The home fries were crispy and the eggs were fluffy, not microwaved or rubbery tasting. My daughter had the 222 and the pancakes were huge and fluffy. My husband had the garden omelet, yummm, with bacon and the bacon was chewy and not burnt!!We will definitely be going back!! My only problem with this visit is......when I asked for steak sauce she gave me a bottle of A1.....but that was NOT A1 inside, a little disappointing, but the food was great!!
Great food great workers
Food was very good & prices were very reasonable
Great service, fast, cheap food. Food is basic diner fair, but very good, especially for the price.
We love these sushi rolls
Good food excellent service prices are very reasonable but they utilize a lot of canned vegetables more fresh would be the icing on the cake
Food was very good, also had such a nice waiter. I totally recommend this place.
Excellent food and great service. Best restaurant I have eaten at since I moved to this area 5 years ago!!
Dont think I would go back. Just not my taste. Seemed like waitresses were arguing everytime a customer walked in. Food was okay at best
Good food reasonably priced, nice atmosphere.
Love the food and service. Servers make you feel at home. Best homemade soups in the county.
The food is always good. We go here often and the staff is friendly and kind. You should try it!
I got the worst case of food poisoning Ive ever had from the fried scallops here. Became sick with stomach cramps as soon as I went home and vomited and was dehydrated for several days. Went to my family doctor who confirmed it was the seafood (that I ate here.) Watch for the owners snarky response below.
Excellent visit. Very clean. Waiter was awesome. Husband had cheese steak. He loved it. I had a wonderful roast beef dinner with soup and 2 sides. Highly recommend
Good menu selection good prices nice local place for dining..give it a chance
Food was very good, reasonably priced.
Took a while to get the food but it was worth the wait and our waitress as so nice.
Good food and reasonable prices convenient location. Ive never had anything bad there since going there.

Great service from Patty. Clean. Food hot and very good. Would highly recommend.
Good food and prices
Pretty good place to stop and if you want breakfast all day or any amount of pie or cake you’ve found the best place. I’ll go there agy
Excellent food. Never had a bad experience there. Waitresses and waiters are top notch! Friendly staff always! Apple dumplings are delicious!
Nice place to eat, not a lot on money.
Dont drive by this gem! Food was amazing! Staff were amazing! Sooo glad all the chain restaurants were too busy, we ended up the BEST place! Thank you for accommodating our needs!
Delicious food try there stuffed French toast. Filled with cream cheese filling and topped with strawberries and whip cream. Its heaven i sware
Amazing food and service!! The menu was so diverse and the food came out to my table quickly! My server, Cindy was so very kind and very attentive to my table despite having to serve other tables! Will definitely go here again!
Our food is never fully cooked. Raw potatoes raw pancakes. The food arrives quick and the service is great but the quality is horrible for the prices.
Love all the updates!
Well it started off ok, Pepsi was good. That’s about it. Mozzarella sticks tasted like deep fried sticks of American cheese. Then I ordered some of the worst meatloaf and mashed potatoes I’ve ever had. It was slabs of ground beef no sauce or anything, and the mashed potatoes tasted like they were made a day or two before hand and preheated. The gravy tasted burnt, I didn’t eat it. Wasn’t even offered to take it off the tab. Disappointed is an understatement. Oh... and we got rice pudding that was spoiled, milk was sour.
Good food!! Great service!
It a good neighborhood diner, quick food and friendly service.
The food was great for the price, but as a handicapped person with a walker the bathrooms are a bit small
Good food with a good friend.
Clean restaurant good service great prices
Clean and great food. They give a lot of crab meat for the sandwich.
Best diner around! And the staff is so friendly and welcoming.
Had a awesome meal good food great place to Eat
The service was horrible!!!! I called in for take out and they said 20 to 25 minutes. When I got there my food was not only cold but my drinks were wrong. Almost $60 wasted.... never again
Very good
Great food, good people and fantastic waitress.
It ok food if your hungry
Food was good!! They kept masked on and was cleaning constantly... everyone was social distancing...great place to have a sit down meal
Excellent service always
Good food, great service. Very clean. Followed Covid regulations.👍👍👍
So the restaurant was nice, was was seated right away and was asked about a drink immediately. The server was polite and efficient. The bathrooms were clean and smelled nice. I would have given 5 stars but the coffee was a bit bitter and the eggs were slightly undercooked other than that I had a great experience.
Love their food Great prices and fast service !!
