    We ordered a variety of entrees and appetizers. We ordered the buttermilk biscuits, which did not disappoint and the deviled eggs, also great! The biscuits are large and can easily be split and shared. We ordered the shrimp and grits, Green Goddess salad and the crab Benny. All were delicious. I appreciate they offer half orders. The Bloody Mary was spicy and refreshing. Our server was attentive, even though it was Mother’s Day and the restaurant was crowded. Will definitely go again!

    Yesterday I decided to visit Colleen's Kitchen for the first time. The reservations were easy to make. The ambiance of the restaurant was nice. It reminded me of my friend Ms Colleen Johnson. Just a laid back and fun place. I'll be back again.

    The menu is the best part of this restaurant. Food sounds really good but all our meals were disappointing. Sauces were overwhelming in the shrimp and grits and crab cakes Bennie. Chilequiles were boring. Kids’ waffles were served without syrup, which was odd. None of our meals were served hot. When there are eggs involved, that’s pretty unappetizing. The waiter never checked on us so we didn’t have the opportunity to comment. Also, can I just say that so many restaurants these days spend way too much time clearing dishes including this one- very disruptive. I recommend the wait staff pay more attention to the food part of the service rather than the tableware.
