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.

Celebrated daughter's 20th bday at Cola's Restaurant. The service was great, Sarah was our server, and she did a wonderful job with answering questions. Her attitude was pleasant and she very attentive!
The atmosphere is always good, it feels more like a romantic restaurant, but families were there and other large groups, so open to all. We had glazed crispy brussel sprouts as an appetizer. Definitely recommend!! It had a sweet and spicy glaze with bacon. Very tasty!!!
I ordered blackened salmon with Yukon gold potatoes and asparagus. Ate It All, very good. My daughter and her friend had braised chicken with mac&cheese and collards. Very flavorful, she said. Mom had shrimp caesar salad and husband had salmon over Chopped Salad. We were all pleased with our meals. My daughter asked why we didn't frequent here more often. Husband and I usually come for anniversary or birthday. I'm sure we will be back with her and mom. It's definitely a must try if you have never been!!!

Three friends and I dined for dinner 8/30 celebrating a birthday (which I put on the reservation), a job promotion and just fellowshiping. I was extremely disappointed that I chose Cola's for our dining. I dined here 3 times before in previous years and never had a bad experience. A sharp object under the table booth also scratched my leg, which the manager on duty argued it did not versus apologizing. The food quality and taste was below standard and came out lukewarm. Table service upon seating and throughout service was slow and underwhelming. The birthday was never acknowledged and we were not given the service that should've been provided at a semi-fine dining experience. Literally, no one finished their meal and everyone left unsatisfied. I also gave a review on the booking site with no response which is beyond disappointing.
Appetizers ordered: Brussel sprouts, Calamari, Fried Asparagus, Shrimp Savannah
Entrees ordered: Fried pork chop, Beet salad, Chicken parmesan, BBQ salmon

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.
