Colonial Bar & Grill

i visit Colonial occasionally and find the food satisfying. A few items I've had often and like are the fried oysters and the burgers. Most recently I got the chicken wings. They were hot and crisp, and were nice big and meaty. However, on a whim I decided to try their Yo Mama coating. It is a breading of crumbs, a bit of old bay, and other herbs and spices. Flavor-wise they were very good but they were exceptionally salty! I was very tempted to return them but didn't want to go though the fuss or the time to wait for a replacement with another item. If I was on a sodium restricted diet, I'd have turned it back after my first bite. So while I can recommend the wings for their size and meatiness, I'd strongly avoid the Yo Mama coating until they reduce the salt by a good 50% Generally, I've found the service friendly and attentive, but usually understaffed compared to the number of guests, so expect slow service. Food can also be slow, I get the sense that they must have a small kitchen or small staff so if they are busy, and you have a time crunch, I'd look elsewhere. Ambiance is casual, dated...like 1980's... so dark, pub atmosphere both in at the bar and in the dining room. So, for Hagerstown, this restaurant does hold its own for quality for the price.

Absolutely recommend stopping here or making it your favorite place to be if you live locally The waitress was awesome with recommendations and information and the bartender was awesome also! Food is a good price for the quality and portions. Clean everywhere. If I lived local I’d make it my favorite place to frequent

We have been long time customers of both the bar & restaurant & now we mostly order takeout on nights that the kids have sporting events or just busy nights. We’re a family of 5 so it can be expensive to eat out but the prices are extremely reasonable but without sacrificing quality. The cost for us is comparable to most fast food options or even less expensive but of course, IS WAY BETTER!! The owner is absolutely incredible, very helpful & if you do ever have an issue, he takes it seriously. cares about his customers & the employees are all SUPER friendly!! The manager, Joanne (forgive me if I spelled it incorrectly)… she is so kind, helpful, professional & honest!! All of these qualities are hard to find now days & to find this in a LOCAL BUSINESS that we can support is not easy which is why I decided to take the time to write this review!!
