Reviews for The Columns in Avon-By-The-Sea, NJ
Highly not recommend. The food is not fresh. They don?t change the frying oil. French fries has fish taste and calamari had... potato taste. I threw up in an hour. The waitress was nice though. Read more
We put our name on the list for a table on Saturday. It was busy. We were told it would be a 45- minute wait but it was over an... hour. Then a host/ waiter guy gave my boyfriend trouble because he didn't have sleeves on his shirt after we spent a whole dayat the beach and said we'd have to leave around 8-830. The place isn't even fancy. Girls were going inside with prettyskimpy/nonclassy outfits. 3 police were outside the entire time-i guess they have issues with the bar/club scene inside Once wegot seated, we had a good time. Our waitress was very friendly, the food and drinks were prompt. I didn't drink but my boyfriendsaid the sangria barely had any alcohol. We started with chips and salsa- bad idea. The chips themselves tasted grainy and bad(tostitos taste much better). At least the salsa was decent. I had the octopus appetizer as my main and it was very good. Myboyfriend had the chicken alla vodka with pasta and he liked it too The columns is very pretty and we loved the outdoor seatingbut I'll most likely try the avon pavilion across the street next time. The food looked much better/ not bar food and the placewas classier Read more
Could have been a nice place, though im dining alone, I cant secure a table near the balcony because the table is good for 3, or... so, i tried my best asking if i can sit there but to no avail?. There?s not much people dining but then again? oh well, justordered a beer and then thats it. Could have enjoyed the place? oh well Read more
Stopped in for a quick lunch on the way back from Atlantic city and boy are we glad we did. We both decided on the crab cake... sandwich and we weren't disappointed. Servers were extremely attentive. We will be back. Read more

Go here (especially in the summer months) a few times a month to see live bands and eat. The food is delicious with a lot of... variety. Love the decor and the people. Loved it so much, I booked my wedding here, it was on the beach with a beautiful set up,great food and an amazing dance floor with awesome lighting and great stage. Read more
The food is terrible. My Fiancé and I walk along Avon's boardwalk at least once a week. During the pandemic, we tried to... check it out but they never allowed us to do take-out despite calling several times. My Fiancé always raved about the foodhere, especially the lobster rolls. When things with Covid were starting to settle down, we came here with some friends for NYthis past July. We rang up about a $200 bill and every meal we ordered was salty/over-salted. (pasta dish, lobster roll,french fries, soup) When we came it was at the intermission hour, between lunch and dinner, and had a salad while we waitedtill 5 pm to put in our order. Other than the view of the water and the service being on point, everything else was terrible. Needless to say, I will not be coming back here a 2nd time. Read more
