We really enjoyed the soup flight. Our waitress was so nice and very attentive. The bartender was knowledgeable about all the beers and picked the perfect one after I described my taste.
Just stopped in to see an old haunt from my youth! Delighted w the new focus on food. The food was delicious! I will definitely come very hungry next time!
Super rad little spot. Super friendly staff. Great food for parents and kids. Amazing beer selection.
Had the most excellent meal at Tiny’s. I ordered a fish sandwich and fries. The quality of food and preparation was superb. Wait time was to a minimum, serving staff went above and beyond with a smile on their face and happy to do so. Don even made an appearance to our table to check how our experience was going.
So many great German beers to choose from! You gotta stop if you Love Schnitzel.
This is such a fun place with great food. The schnitzel is terrific and the German beer selection is incredible!
Cozy patio right on main street. Food was fresh and good, not mass purchased. Decent beer selection
Tiny's is a locally owned restaurant with a small bar space. Their new focus on dining and the newly remodeled dining space have truly elevated it from a small bar of years past. The menu and decorations are focused on the German heritage of the Columbia, IL region. You'll be surprised and your tastebuds will fall in love with the authentic German foods. Try their "soup flight" on Wednesdays. Highly recommend. The owner is really nice and was talking to several customers as well.
