Description

The Columbine claims to have been "nationally known for fine steaks since 1961."

Columbine is less about the steaks and more about the scene -- one of the most interesting you'll find in this town. People from all walks of life pass through the forty-year-old joint, and some even order the steak. Which means that group, at least, will go away happy, because when the grill guy is in a good mood, the twenty-ounce porterhouse, which costs less than half of what it would at a big-name steakhouse, arrives juicy and tender, with a nicely charred edge and a big pile of...

meat, meat, and meat. is all you see in the fridge. the place is run down, and doesn't look like much. the menu isn't very diverse... but if you want a steak and you want it now, this place is great. as you can see by the menu, steak is pretty much all there is, and this place is a great hidden lunch spot.
