Colonial Room

Service was incredibly slow and disorganized considering there were 10 tables and 3 servers. It was really warm inside. Food was subpar at best, the price is nice of course which is what's appealing about coming here. Sirloin was tough, bacon was basically dust with how overcooked it was, grits tasted awful.

What I liked about my breakfast at Colonial Room yesterday was that I felt like a regular and this was my first visit. I appreciate a restaurant that gives off local diner vibes because that's a slice of Americana I'd be loathe to give up. Emeli and Michelle have a good thing here. The food is not too fancy or fussy...just good grub at a decent value. Especially considering that, nowadays, breakfast can easily run $15-$20. My server was absolutely lovely and recommended the burger for my next visit (noted). I also loved that when one regular arrived, she welcomed him by his first AND last name. My half special was a simple order of egg, bacon, home fries, and toast. Everything was cooked just right and the coffee was good. I loved the glass my OJ came in - so cute! Not only would I return, but I would bring my parents here and that's the highest compliment I pay any restaurant.

The colonial room is a decent diner style restaurant. I'll be honest the food is average and what you would expect from a diner restaurant. It still was pretty good though. We liked that we could sit outside since we had our dog with us. The service was really great and why I am giving this place 4 stars.

Our waitress was really great. The food was not so great. The taste of old oil was pretty obvious with the hash browns and the cinnamon apples. My partner ordered steak and eggs and his steak was really raw. We love a good med rare steak, this was really raw. Hash browns were undercooked as well. Just an all around bleh experience, wouldn't come back. However this place is 100% redeemable!!! They just need kitchen staff and mgmt that care. Change the oil, and definitely wash the plates. Our toast came on a filthy plate. We probably should have just walked out at that point, but it was one of those places where you think, just don't go to the bathroom or look at the kitchen and we'll be OK. What you don't know won't kill you kind of deals. Clean the place up and have better standards for the food coming out of the kitchen and you all will be great.

A bit of southern comfort in the heart of Sanford! The decor is farmhouse kitsch and the service is great. I had the Mr. Bill's breakfast special and the sausage gravy was pretty good (actual chunks of sausage and flavor besides a milk gravy), the biscuits buttery, the ham was salty but not o early so, and the eggs runny just like I asked. Dad had the fried beef steak which was tender and moist and the same great cookery on the eggs. He also ordered a slice of country ham and yes, it's actual salty country ham!Can't wait to come back and try lunch. They were busy but service was quick and attentive.

I've dined here a few times but never left a review. I went for breakfast this morning and it seemed a little busier than normal. Rebecca was my server and she took my drink order and gave me a few minutes to browse the menu. My drinks were brought out quickly and then she took my breaksfast order. I went with one of the specials on the board and it was brought out promptly as well. My eggs were cooked perfectly and the rest of the meal was fantastic! I didn't have to ask for a coffee refill and my plates were cleared quickly. Although it was a little more crowded than usual, Rebecca always had a smile, was very efficient, I didn't feel rushed, and I walked out happy!

Service was mediocre but the real problem was the food. My dad ordered the fried flounder and tasteless, paper thin, and dry. The chicken in the po boy sandwich was dry as the desert, and the fries were bright yellow. Which was concerning. Finally they even messed up a ham sandwich, the ham was blackened by a dirty grill. All of our stomachs hurt and want to warn others before they are a victim as well.

Not sanitary at all! Dirty dishes and cups .Food came out cold and soggy.But the pancakes were good

The owners of the Columbus Room not only offer wonderfully flavorful breakfast and brunches; they give back to the community by hosting church services for the poor and homeless through LifeWay Ministries and Restoration Church of Sanford. They have been providing free meals to the broken door several years offering hope while demonstrating compassion! I especially love the Colonial RuinsRoom's version of eggs Benedict with shredded beef. Spicy and delicious! Don't forget to check out their cute country store entrance door affordable seasonal and spiritual purchases! Thank you Michele & hubby!

A current employee has informed me that there are roaches present in the establishment, and on some occasions, they end up in the food. The owner allegedly instructs staff to serve the food regardless, and due to fear of reprimand from the owner, they proceed. This issue is reportedly being overlooked, which is concerning.
