Colombo's Coney Island Restaurant

Colombo's is the last of a dying breed. Full - Service 24/7 diner. In Detroit, I believe only it and Duly's are the only 24/7s with a waitstaff. I've gone to Colombo's often. I get an omelette, and it's always very good size and well made. The Hash Browns are very good too and come with the meal. The prices are awesome (at least they were the last time I went). You're getting an omelette and Hashbrowns for $10. Never, ever ask for any modifications on an omelette or a meal. Their upcharge rules cannot be deciphered by any mortal human being. They make sense to them, and them alone. The waitstaff is awesome, even when they're working at 2 AM. You get your coffee refilled a ton. They're incredibly helpful whenever you ask for any thing, like condiments or even if you want the TV changed. Great people.The area is incredibly safe. Duly's is right next door. There's always a lot of activity when either two are open and everyone who comes in respects the establishment. They are neighborhood mainstays and get treated as such.If you're working late, come here and get your second wind for the all-nighter ahead. It's worked great for me.

Great food and consistent service. Cozy, nice neighborhood establishment. Nothing against other diners in the area but Colombo's always hits the spot, whenever time of the day, open 24-hrs, the staff is right ontop with a refill or extra condiment. Looking forward going back

I had an amazing experience tonight! The food was fantastic, it was presented wonderfully, came quickly and tasted amazing! I can't recommend Colombo's enough! Ten thumbs up!

Overall Colombo's has really good food for a greasy spoon... aside of the bs move of not bothering to melt the cheese on your burger. Oh, a cold ass piece of processed American cheese on a burger. Yum! The fish on the fish and chips leaves something to be desired as well. The breakfasts here totally slay though. Duly's down the block prevented me from ever wandering into Colombo's until within the last year as Duly's has switched to this odd schedule of only being open all night every other weekend. I've only been in here once when Duly's was open and I could tell by the drop in business compared to a similar time on the previous weekend. Colombo's is very rough around the edges. There's spiderwebbed cracks in the glass on the outside door that don't look to be getting fixed anytime soon. Not all the lights above the booths work and the springs within the seats can be pretty wonky. And the staff... I usually get here before the big post bar rush and with one or two servers on I can tell it's basically impossible to provide decent service when the place fills up, which I do think it does, at least on Duly's off weekends. So the servers are used to people going up to the counter for stuff, and they'll lean on that even when it's slow. My last time in here I asked for a box which is basically a universal signal for the bill and the bussing of your plates to follow. Despite me being one of two tables in here this didn't happen. Hey, I guess my waitress had to conserve energy for the big rush. Way it goes around here. They'll give regulars the remote and let em find something streaming to watch on tv though. So the counter might be your best move. Now on to the cook who's usually there at night. What a piece of work he is. This is Southwest Detroit and he's of some sort of Latino ethnicity but he drops the n-bomb, you know the racial slur I'm talking about, incessantly. I used to be friends with a Mexican guy who grew up in the hood who talked like this. It was just the way he came up, with that word being a synonym for guy or dude, but one of these nights someone with more melanin in their skin than this cook is gonna come in here and not care about any of that. If this guy gets his ass kicked he has it coming cause I hear him use that word dozens and dozens of times. The last time I was in here I didn't see that cook. Halfway through my meal he walks in along with two customers. I can immediately tell he's completely hammered. I think he's in here on his off night to eat with his friends. Then he goes back in the kitchen. I think he's making himself at home, maybe grabbing a coffee or something. No - he goes to work drunk as a skunk, not even trying to be low key about it, talking about he drank too much earlier and overs and that's why he's late. My jaw was just hanging open, that's how obliterated he was. I'm glad the guy before him made my food. Somehow, though, he only dropped one n-bomb that night, but it was especially bad - a one word exclamation like he was saying Damn! or F*ck! and it was very loud. Duly's is much better than Colombo's and can also be entertaining- the employees might argue but they leave the drunkenness to the late night customers and don't use words that are verbal land mines given their ugly history. I wish they'd go back to 24 hours every weekend because I'm really over Colombo's at this point.

Was in the area and stopped in for a coffee and chili and I must say it was really good!

This place is truly tasty , worth the price and size meals , open 24hrs, and good service from the staff ,. I highly recommend this place for good fod and service.

I had been going to this restaurant more than half of my life and I had never problems with this restaurant it is my favorite Coney Island I recommend this to the people that had never been here

The service was horrible the waitress told my girlfriend that the food she was getting was too much for her even though she didn't get that much and refused to give her the food she asked for and the place has cockroachs crawling on the booths this place should be shut down in my opinion.

Columbos is great and all, but the $4-5 up charge if you want feta on a gyro omelet had to be one of the most insane uncharged I've ever heard. Why is any other cheese the main option over feta on the gyro omelet. Why columbos? Why? Why do you think we're stupid? Change your menu​

Do not come here or bring kids. They smoke in the restaurant. Portions are tiny and it's not worth the price. Extremely disappointed to waste my money on an establishment that doesn't respect their customers enough to smoke outside.
