I had an incredible meal at Cola’s Restaurant! I ordered the Whole Crispy Flounder, and it was a standout dish. The fish was perfectly fried with a crispy exterior and tender, flavorful meat. The apricot shallot sauce added a delicious sweet-savory note that paired beautifully with the flounder. The sides of linguine and vegetables were fresh and well-seasoned, balancing the dish nicely. I also had a whiskey sour, which was well-made and complemented the meal perfectly. With great food and a lovely atmosphere, Cola’s is definitely worth a visit!

This was our first visit to Cola's. We decided to go for our Thanksgiving dinner and it did not disappoint. Everything we had was delightful! The brussel sprouts we had for our appetizer were amazing. Three of us had the traditional dinner which was very good, as well as the braised beef and potatoes and the hamburger. We will definitely be back to visit and recommend to our friends and family.

Absolutely superb food. I had the lafayette ribeye it was so succulent and not spicy. The granny smith pork chop was juicy and had great taste. Mac and cheese was like mama made it. Will definitely be back again

I've visited this establishment numerous times before. I noticed some changes in the atmosphere & menu since my last visit. While change is to be expected, this time felt no different. The vibe has shifted to a more laid-back ambiance, which I personally appreciate.
This visit was for a birthday celebration w/ a pre-booked party of six. We started w/ drinks, I ordered a strawberry martini w/ Grey Goose. When my drink arrived, I noticed right away it looked more like a raspberry martini. I mentioned it to our waitress, who was very nice, she promptly had it replaced. Unfortunately, the 2nd drink didn’t meet expectations either, but the third time was a charm.
As we settled in, enjoying laughter & conversation, we realized 30 mins. had passed w/out our food arriving, even though tables our party size seated after us had already received theirs. We approached our waitress for an update, eventually, our meals arrived. I ordered the chicken Parmesan w/ extra cheese, which was huge but not served piping hot,& it lacked the extra cheese I requested. I was so hungry, I managed to get through most of it. Others at the table enjoyed the pork chop & sweet potatoes, which were delicious. One member of our party chose the Oyster Rockefeller, it arrived cold & unappetizing; thankfully, she was not charged for them.
Our waitress was friendly & provided good info., but it seemed she had too many tables, contributing to the slow service & some food being served cold. Despite these hiccups, the overall experience was satisfactory, & I would consider returning.

We were walk-ins but were offered a bar table. The bar is open and has 2 good TVs if you want to watch a game. The have a good list of seasonal drinks and while I was not sure of what to order I finally decided on a rhubarb strawberry smash. I’m picky about cocktails- I was pleasantly surprised. They also have a very good feature/seasonal menu. We had the roasted oysters. My son and I both love oysters and we both gave it a 10/10. If they offer these when you visit please try them. The other standout was the whole flounder. It was crispy on the outside and meaty in the inside. The 2 things I did not love about this restaurant was the side of plain pasta that came with the flounder and there is no draft beer. Even taking that into account this is absolutely a 4.8 of 5 casual American fair restaurant.
