Collier’s has been in business since 2003; its motto: “Where good people gather for good food.” The restaurant touts a friendly atmosphere and generous portions.

Diners get a menu featuring homemade soups, fresh bread, sandwiches, burgers and a number country-styled entrees from chicken to fish to beef.

The restaurant changed ownership in 2013 from Ronald and Connie Collier to Matt and Melissa Tarzinski.

The website also placed Collier’s in a June list of 11 mom and pop restaurants in Ohio that “serve home cooked meals to die for.” That list also included Mom’s Restaurant in Franklin, K’s Hamburger Shop in Troy and Blueberry Café in Bellbrook.
