How cool is that in carrying out on a theme? Only able to sample breakfast, but the food was hot, tasty, good portion and included choice of 2 sides! Nice touch, old style decor. More

The breakfast buffet on Sunday is absolutely delicious. The bacon literally melts in your mouth. Must try! More

Colby Jack, just moved. This is good for me as they are now about a half mile from my house! Lucky me! On my last visit I just had an Ortega burger. Sounds simple enough, and it is, and the quality of the meat, the portion size, the lovely surroundings, and even a visit at the table by the owner... More

We had a chance to try the new location. I really want to support Colby Jack and to like it, but was disappointed at new location. I've previously posted wonderful reviews about them at their old location. There was something unique and different about the old location that set it apart from other restaurants in our area. As for the... More

We stopped here on the way home from the beach and the restaurant was beautiful. In fact I felt a little under dressed. My husband and I had burgers and they were amazing and very high quality. They don't serve fries which was odd, but my husbands soup and my salad made me quickly forget about the fries. My kids... More

This is just steps from the Carlton Hotel. You don't even have to go outside for a wonderful cup of coffee, a pastry or warm breakfast in a very cozy setting. Great food and great prices. Loved it. More

We loved the old location of Colby Jacks. Went by last weekend for lunch only to find they are closed during their move to new location. We will miss the lovely patio of the old location, but wish them all the best when they reopen in their new location. Rumor is they will reopen in December, 2011, in the Carlton... More

Thank you for your encouraging words. We are, in fact, open now in our new location. You can join us for our Sunday brunch buffet from 9am - 2pm and lunch Monday - Saturday in the main dining room of The Carlton Hotel (now named Brie Lauren Bistro). We've also setup shop in the bakery of The Carlton Hotel with... More
