A Columbia landmark for over 132 years, Hinkle’s Restaurant serves up homestyle favorites from breakfast through dinner. Step back in time at the old-fashioned soda fountain while enjoying a menu pack…
The chicken Hinkle's Chicken Croquettes are DELICIOUS. They are even good reheated, which is incredible for something fried. Both their chicken and beef gravies are full of flavor (not just 'salt sauce' like many places seem to have). All the sides I've tried so far are also tasty. The serving sizes are fair for the price. A new favorite! Highly recommend!

Enjoyed the Two Eggs, Home Fries, Toast, the eggs were slightly overcooked, home fries were delicious, perfectly salted. The Muffins - I got blueberry - was phenomenal! Super fresh and moist and loaded with blueberries. I wish I had gotten two

sirloin tips were juicy and tender, the mac and cheese was the perfect complimentary side dish, will be ordering again

I absolutely love Hinkle's, my favorites are the Hinkle's Chicken Croquettes or their chicken pie when it is on special!! The pickled red beets are also fantastic. Life long supporter. Favorite restaurant hands down!

I usually love Hinkle's food but today was a total miss! Baked Chicken Pot Pie with 1 side was dry - no gravy inside and the potatoes tasted like leftover home fries. The Cup of Cream of Broccoli soup had an off taste like onion that overwhelmed the broccoli flavor. Couldn't eat anything except the mashed potatoes
