    Four was great! We were there at a slow time and it was not busy - around 3:30. Great service and we will come back.

    Disturbed waitress at Washy's Pub in Columbia Illinois
    Joanne P.

    My husband ordered a drink from a male bartender and a rude, out of control girl brought it 15mins later and it was watered down and he was not happy with it. She literally challenged his dislike for the drink stating "that's what you ordered!" Her name is Kenzie and she continued to engage in a highly inappropriate verbal exchange with my husband and I. She first began with him and then refused to serve his food and literally shoved it at him. She said to him, "are you going to eat or are you leaving" as she served everyone else at the table except him. I had to get up and confront her with her outrageousness! She continued to escalate her crazy behavior towards paying customers!!! If she were my employee, I would fire her on the spot! Our experience at this restaurant was shocking and disgraceful! Kenzie wasn't even our waitress, so not sure why she was accosting us like she was. She even came over with a broom and was sweeping right near us while we were eating! Our actual waitress's name was Elsie, pleasant and efficient! There were four of us and we will never go into your restaurant again because of her. She is definitely disturbed and a detriment to your restaurant. We will spread the word!

    I sat for fifteen minutes waiting to be served, when I was eventually waited on me and my two boys ordered wings. Couple next to us came in ten minutes after we did. Their food came out before us, going on 40minutes and no wings yet. Absolutely worst experience ever here. The waitress said she was tired and hated people. Well I think waiting now 50 minutes for wings is stupid.

    First trip to Washy's Pub. Excellent service, great Stag Beer on draft and good burgers. Still in the rehabbing stage so rated low but once completed I'm thinking this place is going to rank up as a place where I go for a game, chilly Stag and fun times!

    Love that new owners came to this pub! Menu is very similar to when it was Merz. They are still undergoing remodeling but already it's such an improvement! We checked out the AYCE fried chicken. The pic is of the first plate. They give you 3 pieces of either white, dark or mixed with 2 sides. Chicken was delicious and you can order as much more as you want. The fries were hot, crispy and tasty too. They sprinkle a little salt and pepper for nice spice. The staff was so friendly. And they DO NOT charge you to use a credit card. Instead they offer a 4% discount if you pay cash. We were there early and by the time we left at 6:30 the place was packed. I think the new owners are on their way to doing really well!! I would have loved to stay and watch the Blues tonight but we had other obligations. We will definitely be back!

    We had high hopes for Cafe on the Abbey, but our visit was not a pleasant one. Based on other…read morereviews it may be an anomaly? So perhaps we'll visit again, however, if there weren't so many positive reviews we would never go back. Our coffee flight was probably the worst we've ever had. They were supposed to be iced but came out lukewarm and burnt tasting. We couldn't taste a difference in any of the flavors-likely because it was so burnt tasting that's all we could taste. Neither of us liked our food. My husband's pancakes were dry and he said they tasted like they had been microwaved. My healthy bowl tasted like mostly old/not fresh ingredients. The Brussel sprouts were supposed to be shaved, but were instead halved and appeared/tasted like they were from the prior day. The Parmesan cheese was also prepackaged and not freshly grated, and for the price we paid ($50+) we didn't expect to be served food low-quality food. The only picture I took was of our coffee. Our server did the bare minimum. They weren't rude, but also weren't friendly. We ran out of Cholula sauce and she grabbed one from another table with people sitting there. Overall a very poor experience. Based completely on this one experience we would never return.

It had been a while, so we couldn't remember if we should start at the counter, or grab a seat when we first walked in, but a server saw us right away and invited us to find any seat if we were eating in. Our server was attentive and we were able to pay from our table. The food was quick and good, and breakfast and lunch items were both available. We ordered the Stacked Eggs Benedict Omelette and the Pick-Four Omelette. Both came with fruit (grapes), and the "pick four" came with toast. My husband got a black coffee from the coffee bar (and one to go), and I went with the Gingerbread Cookie hot coffee drink. It even included a cute cookie man on top!

Coming to this Columbia, Illinois hot spot and enjoying the atmosphere you can see why. Be prepared to seeing it totally packed on the weekends. I wanted to see the two bartenders I personally consider the stars of the venue Abigail and Kassidy. As beautiful and talented as you obviously see they are it's their guest service and personalities win the day. Two sweeter and more genuine individuals I challenge you to find anywhere. I'm going to be 100% honest I actually do get nervous coming into see them. It's hard to imagine seeing two angels on Earth. All the girls rock and provide premier service. I lived in St Louis for 14 years and I must say this would definitely be my spot if I still lived in the area. With Abigail and Kassidy it's like coming back and seeing friends I've known. I get that impression it's their style with all guest. I travel the country and these two are my two favorites anywhere. I'd highly recommend if you're a first timer you request them. They're hard working and get their business done. And tip the well!!! They deserve it. Thank you. Michael J Beal Clearwater, Florida.

I am only posting this as a warning for anyone else that wants to book a party with them. I have been a supporter of The Barn since the day they opened. It was my first choice when I wanted a cocktail in town. I booked my 30th birthday party with Steve back in November. I've been chatting with him about my party every time I saw him in between that time. We messaged back and forth about the logistics and how I would get the whole upstairs room. He also didn't ask me to pay a deposit and promised that he would put me down on the calendar. Fast forward to yesterday, I went up there to start decorating at 3 pm. I started walking up the stairs and noticed that someone else's decorations were already set up for a 40th birthday party. I immediately was like, Steve that's not my party. He then says, "Oh, you're downstairs!" I immediately knew that he had no idea what was going on. I was extremely disappointed but I decided to make it work. He said he would shut the bar down at 6 for my party He helped me set up a table for our food and I told him I'd be bringing in a balloon arch with a backdrop around 6. My husband spent the whole day cooking food for our party and I spent the day making sure everything would be perfect. When we got there at 6, the whole parking lot was full. We had to park on the street and upon our arrival we saw that the entire bar downstairs was full of people and then I saw a girl wearing a sash that said "my 21st birthday." This was a completely different party from what was going on upstairs. He not only double booked us but he TRIPLE booked us. He came outside acting as if he had no idea what was going on. He said he thought this party was us. I'm like... how do you get that confused? You knew my party started at 6:30. He tried to have us move the party outside. I did not want to do that because we would have to go in and out for drinks. The woman that planned the 21st was so nice to me and even offered to combine our parties. She told me that he did the exact same thing to her, she thought she would get the upstairs as well. He also told her that she wouldn't need to pay anything at all to have her party there, but told me that I would have to pay a fee the day of. At that point, I didn't want to give them my business anymore. I was over it. Thank God we were able to move my party to Top Shooters and they were able to accommodate us. We obviously weren't able to bring any of the food that we made, but it was better than nothing. Steve at The Barn needs to hire someone else to plan parties if he is unable to plan and coordinate them himself. Unfortunately this experience was a learning lesson for me. Anytime I plan or book a party somewhere, I need to make sure there's a contract in place. I hope that everyone reads this learns from me and does not book with The Barn.
