Colombo's Cafe & Tavern

First time here - I was looking for a "not one of my usuals" bar that would make me a cosmo, had good food, and had a patio. After arriving, I realized I had found the perfect place. Bartenders were awesome, food was amazing, and they didn't even make fun of me for my oh-so needy cosmo. Definitely will be back.

I am so mad at myself. Once again, I have discovered an outstanding restaurant, that was only 2.3 miles from my house, after I have moved out of STL. If I had eaten here while I lived in STL, I would have been a regular. A friends band was playing at Colombo's, so that is how I discovered them this past Saturday. We got there early to get our "band groupie" table. When I saw their extensive craft beer list, I knew it was a cold beer night. I was impressed with the local selection of brews that also included regional and statewide breweries. I was torn between a burger and wings. So, I went to Yelp and checked out the pictures, to help me decide. Wings was the winner and it truly was a, Winner, Winner, Wing Dinner. Actually, these were some of the best wings I've had in a longtime. There was no breading, the skin was crispy and the hot sauce was spot on. It had just the right amount of heat and wasn't too messy. The ambiance is casual and very relaxing. There was only one waitress and she was hustling and doing an amazing job. The bar was packed and she remained very even keel. She was friendly and made sure everyone was taken care of. When I'm over in STL running errands, I'll be returning for more wings and to try one of their burgers.After several return visits, to enjoy more of their outstanding chicken wings and fries, I finally came back and tried a burger. OMG - they are equally as good as their wings. Colombo's definitely serves up some delicious bar grub. I am a big fan of jalapeños, so it was an easy choice of what burger to select for my lunch. The Lava Burger, with its fried jalapeños, bacon and caramelized onions on top of a 1/2 lb. burger with a smear of chipotle mayo was the winner. The kitchen crew prepared it to my medium rare request perfectly. The toppings blended together and added so much flavor, that I didn't even miss having cheese on my burger. My fries were super crisp and lightly salted. Dipping them in some ketchup made them the perfect side for my burger. Colombo's has a good variety of draft beers with the majority of them be craft beers. They also, make good cocktails if that if your preferred adult beverage. The service is attentive and friendly, it has never disappointed me. Craving burgers and wings? I'd recommend, Colombo's.

First time going and was really impressed. Bartender ran the entire show while keeping everyone beyond satisfied. Food was delicious and atmosphere was great.

What a good place to go. Take 5 min have collusion and enjoy great food and drinks. High recommendations from everyone else as well, thanks for listening Come check it out, you won't be disappointed.

Phenomenal food for a bar. The Rocking Rooster is one of the best chicken sandwiches I have ever had. Food prices are super cheap and they have great drink specials. Also, the music they play is fantastic. I would highly recommend if you are looking for a good bar to chill at with friends and there are plenty of TVs for watching sports. Only down side was the music was too loud and it was hard to hear conversation. Solid classic STL style hang out.

Good food , had a burger and a few beers, great burger, large selection of beer on tap , really nice people , I'll be going back .
