Colonial's ""Snappy Snack"" concept debuted in St. Charles in the spring of 1957, after being ""Scoopin' Fun Since 1901"" and opening drive-ins in the late 1940s.

Ordered the large Friday Cod dinner!! Culver's, you've lost a customer!!! Colonial beats Culver's 10 to 1!! Culver's: max. 3-pieces with fries and commercial tarter sauce is nearly $25.00! Colonial: max. 4-pieces with fries AND homemade tarter sauce is $22.00!! Taste is superior, breading texture is better and fries are well done not half cooked! OH, btw, tarter sauce is made old school (Boomers, you know what I mean!) Easily 5+ stars!!!

I otdered chicken Crispy Chicken Tenders (Delivery) with mashed potatoes and French Fries (Delivery). Both were crispy and hot, and the size of the tenders was on the medium smaller side, but the portion was great and I was full after the meal. I really enjoyed the side of mashed red potatoes. I was skeptical about the white gravy since it looked pretty bland, but the overall flavor with the mashed potatoes was fine. I actually preferred the gravy for dipping my chicken tenders instead. The French fries were tasty and crispy perfection. I dipped them in the buffalo sauce and gravy. Yummy. I would order again.

I was so full after a bowl of chicken noodle soup, cornbread and a peach smoothie I couldn't eat my salmon! Your chicken noodle is the best around! My husband loves your fresh Friday fish fry and of course your milk shakes are legendary. I used to bring my kids to Colonial when they were young, now we bring our grands.
I STILL haven't had a kitchen sink!!!

Some on the onions were completely raw. Very greasy, salty and dry. Large pile of crlspy fried onions on the top added to the grease. Arrived Luke warm from Door Dash, even though I paid an extra $2.99 for fast delivery direct to me

Your food is consistently delicious. We order from you or dine in often. I think you have the best chicken noodle soup around.
My husband was a bit disappointed with his friedfish today. It did not taste like the freshly battered and fried cod uou have had rather battered and frozen. It was ok but not as good as the fresh.
