Friendly staff! Found them on DoorDash but didn’t wanna pay the extra $16 for delivery so I ordered for pick up. The fried okra was so good. I ate about half of it on the drive home lol. Breading super crunchy and flavorful with this hint of almost sweet. Mix that with salty and savory flavor it was great. I got the pork chop bites, rice and gravy. Super flavorful, tender and heck of a serving (lunch tomorrow lol). The only thing I can say is it was a little salty. And I like salty foods but this was I felt it on my lips salty. Might have been a heavy hand by accident as the food is cooked to order. I’m still coming back! Gotta try the fish next time. Oh and the watermelon lemonade is so refreshing. (Was recommended to get the dragon fruit but I’ll do that next time too).

Tried this place for lunch. I work downtown and I get tired of eating the same thing in rotation every week so I wanted something different and boy was I impressed. It was so good I came back to pick up dinner for myself and my husband tonight! The wings were cooked to perfection (and I asked for extra crispy and I got it). The service both times was stellar. Everyone that works there is so nice! And the music sets great vibes. Maybe a tiny but to loud but that’s honestly my ONLY complaint (and it’s not even a complaint cause they was playing my jammy jams). So good will be adding this to my regular lunch rotation!

Colas catered a wedding I went to recently and the food was amazing!! Their pulled pork and brisket is perfectly seasoned and some of the best I’ve ever had. Their service is also top notch, as the original wedding caterer pulled out at the last moment and Colas was able to fulfill the food order quickly with a short notice.

Came to town and asked where I can find a black owned restaurant at and this was the first recommendation. They had good food and friendly staff! Seeya next time.

Great chicken tenders and chicken wings! Will absolutely be coming back! The chap working was doing everything himself - taking orders, cooking, etc., which I think might have contributed to missing a small part of our order (I didn't realise either until we got home). If you want much better quality food than the chains while supporting a local business, go to Cola's; you won't regret it!

The food was hot and fresh. The livers had a little too much salt. The presentation in the container was decent.
