Colonial is always a fun, family-oriented restaurant. The servers are very friendly and helpful. The food is always good and the price point is great. The menu is varied, from breakfast to lunch to dinner to amazing desserts.

Went for ice cream every night while staying at the hotel next door. Did not have the "kitchen sink" but saw it pass by!

Of course, it's a good place to go for the sundaes, but the food is decent as well--whether you go for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
