Columbia Bar & Grill — Restaurant in Pasco

My folks live in Pasco so I come through this tiny airport all the time. I know it's "just an airport bar" but I always look forward to a quiet half hour at the Columbia before taking off (and sometimes after landing!). The space is great, airy with huge windows looking out on the tarmac. The staff is lovely and friendly, I've gotten to know a few of them. I usually get a bourbon or rye on the rocks and they are generous with their pours. I've gotten the quesadillas a few times, it's my usual food go-to and stuffed full of cheese and chicken. It's pricey like any other airport bar. A single of Woodford is about $17 and a double is $22. But that's actually less than I've paid in other airports. Their beers are cheaper and have some decent local stuff. Anyway, if you have time to kill, you could do...

It's a (the only) bar in the tri citites airport. If you expect gourmet food and a fun whimsical atmosphere, you clearly have never been to the tri cities 😂 but if you know what the tri cities are about, this is by far one of the best establishments in the tri-area! Especially if you are a minority. They treat you as an equal to their white patrons unlike the vast majority of tri-city establishments. Customer service is astounding no matter who you are, and at the end of the day, I'd rather have a mediocre salad with great customer service than a 5 course meal with poor customer service. Only piece of advice: if you are a Karen or planning on acting like one, don't plague these nice people with your scourge. Pre game and leave these...

The food was good, the service was good, and the prices were great! I’d be happy with everything if this was a regular restaurant but with the context of this being inside an airport I’m amazed by the price (just $13 for a plate of tater tots and brisket at the time of this review)...
