Best restaurant within 100+ miles. Service at the bar was phenomenal and personable. Don't recall the young ladies name but she was personable, fun and engaging. Food was served piping hit and cooked well. Nothing crazy fancy but just good food done well, which after spending 5 nights in the area, is tough to find haha. Definitely worth a visit and a great place for a nice meal. read more

Cowboy Ribeye is as best as they come. Sweet potato side, same. The Blue Lady cocktail is world class.

Had a birthday dinner for seven there on Saturday night very nice location good service highlights of the evening were the Caesar salad, which was amazing 8 ounce fillet, which everybody said that had it was the best meat that ever eaten and the beef stroganoff which had one of the guests wanting to lick her plate Service was attentive, but not overbearing and it was very relaxed fun birthday event! We will certainly be back when we visit the area again read more

Oh my the steaks they are mouthwatering delicious the service is excellent and the atmosphere is beautiful. I took my sister there for her 75th birthday and we had a delightful time a delicious cocktail and a great celebration. Can't wait to go back. read more

Cole's Hearth Room - Delicious raspberry cheesecake, used for my sister's 75th birthday - American Near Me - Palmyra, Missouri

Best restaurant around! We almost always get the truffle frites as an appetizer. The filet is so tender you can cut it with a fork. The sweet potatoes are unlike any I've ever had before and I always order them (sometimes as both my sides). The drinks are very good. We normally don't order dessert but is was delicious, as well! Yes, it's a little pricey but you need to spoil yourself every once in awhile! read more

A charming restaurant inside a unassuming building! It's cozy and loud inside which adds life to the atmosphere of the old building. The service was attentive and friendly and always made sure our drinks were full and that we were well taken care of. I got the smoked old fashioned and it was delicious super smooth. For an appetizer we got the toasted ravioli it was very good! For entrees the ribeye was good but I asked for rare and it came out medium and was a bit chewy but that was the only bad thing. The seafood scampi was the best pasta dish I have ever had! And the lemon raspberry cheesecake was the perfect ending to cap it off! Can't wait to come back to this cozy restaurant. read more

The food here is simple but delicious. It is the closest thing to a fiber dining experience in western Missouri/eastern Illinois. I cleaned my plate without feeling heavy. The service here was great and constantly filled up water and was able to accommodate requests for drinks and food. It is very crowded and we could hear convos going on at other tables. It was hard to get up from my seat without bumping into someone else read more

Great place to eat. The atmosphere is great. Very good service, the filet was the best I have ever had, very good smoked old fashioned. Will return in the future read more

Oh so good! Our B&B host told us about this place and we are so grateful. The service, cocktails, appetizers, entrees and desserts were all outstanding. Highly recommend! read more

This place was amazing. Food was excellent and the atmosphere was very enjoyable. Our server did a great job and even helped me with my food allergy. They made my wife's birthday special. read more

I'm finally reviewing Cole's after a third time visiting because I wanted to give it a fair shake, especially since it seems to be well-regarded by many. The ambiance is intimate and wonderful - it's clear ownership really did a great job converting this building into a modern, yet rustic farmhouse. Drinks are always inventive and unique and I've enjoyed their desserts. Unfortunately, I find their food to be very underwhelming for the price, and for this reason, I don't recommend it over other higher-end restaurants in the area. My most recent visit, we ordered the pork belly appetizer to start. I really liked the glaze, but found the pork belly to be very dry and tough to chew compared to other restaurants I've had pork belly at. My husband and I each ordered the steak frites and while it was cooked perfectly, the New York Strip that was pre-sliced ate very fatty and didn't seem to be of great quality. Like other times I've dined here, the potato and vegetable sides are lackluster and come off as an afterthought - the Parmesan truffle fries lacked any seasoning or flavor. I love treating myself to a nice dinner out and most recently came to Cole's for a celebratory night, but was left feeling disappointed again. read more

We had a fantastic dinner at Coles Hearthroom in Palmyra. Our table ordered the filet, the steak frites, and the Urban Cowboy, and every dish was excellent. Everything was cooked perfectly and very flavorful. The service was exceptional as well, friendly and attentive from start to finish. A great spot and absolutely worth the visit. read more

Amazing food that never disappoints! Impeccable service! The drinks are exquisite! Dessert is a don't miss! And the ambiance is amazing! We love going there! read more

Amazing service. Amazing atmosphere. But the food Everyone at the table had something different and we all loved it! Highly recommend. If we are back on that end, we will 100% be back. read more

Just leaving Cole's Hearth room. Angie was our waitress and she was great. We both ordered margaritas and being from Texas we are kind of picky but they totally passed the test. Very fresh and plenty of tequila. I ordered the Filet and cooked to perfection. Hubby ordered NY Strip. Served sliced which was kind of different but good. Highly recommend. read more

This is an amazing gem in a small town between Quincy and Hannibal. I would feel secure saying it's one of the top couple restaurants for 75-100 miles in any direction (the other top contender being Maine Course in Quincy. The space is beautifully lit and decorated, service is attentive and accurate, and the cocktail program very strong. The young bartender hustled with very smooth execution and big-city confidence. There are food options to suit anyone's tastes-highly recommend steak, pork belly, and considering whatever special is on the menu. This would be with the trip in the St. Louis area-but it's in rural MO! Just go! read more

The food is Excellent! The service is Excellent! The atmosphere is Excellent! I come to town every November to hunt and I eat at Cole's at least 2 times every trip. Best food in the area. Highly recommend. read more

This was our fifth visit to our favorite restaurant in Missouri and downstate Illinois. My wife has ordered the Bourbon-glazed Salmon each time. I'm hooked on the Penne Bolognese, which is rich and spicy -- and a large portion. Logan has been our server three times and is most conscientious. We're trying to find how to support this wonderful restaurant during the winter. read more

Tonight (8/5/22) four of us ate here. First of all the food & service was excellent. The place is very nice. It must be a remodeled farm house (very well done). My wife & I both had filets, appetizers, and desserts. What I did not like: salad not included in meal price, poor selection of potatoes (i.e. No baked, etc.), no bread of any type was served, & no ice was added to the water (thus gets warm quickly) The meal for two of us was well over one-hundred dollars plus a tip ($128). For this price not to serve bread is inexcusable. Also the dinner salad, in this region, not being included is not appropriate. All that said I would go back again but the improvements mentioned above would be good additions. read more

Delicious quality food. Best steak I've ever had. Fast friendly service. Comfortable laid back atmosphere. Drinks were great. I've been there 4 times and they exceeded my expectations each and every time. Can't wait to go back again! read more

If you're in the Quincy/Hannibal area and you're looking for fine dining, this is the place. My wife and I went the other day, and we were very pleased. The restaurant was clean and comfortable. The staff was friendly and we had great service the entire time. The food was delicious. I ordered the Steak Frites. The steak was topped with a chimichurri sauce, and it was very flavorful. We will be going back for sure. read more

Cole's Hearth Room - The interior is just as charming as the exterior. - American Near Me - Palmyra, Missouri

Been back at least 4 or 5 times since our first visit and my review. Food has been amazing every time, and my one complaint of the disappointing service has not happened since that first night. Service has been professional, prompt and friendly. I recommend to anybody that will listen, for sure a go to place in the tri-states! read more

This place was delicious. Not one complaint from our group of 8 people. The steaks were cooked correctly and had great flavor. The sides of potatoes and yams were perfectly seasoned. The carbonara was tasty. I ordered the beef stroganoff (the daily special when we went) and was blown away. Not many places do a good beef stroganoff and this was excellent. It had chunks of meat and a thick mushroom sauce, served with a dollop of sour cream. My only regret is that was a special and therefore not readily available when we go back. read more

I absolutely love this place!! My favorite restaurant by far. Best service. Best food. Best drinks. And last night we had the most amazing dessert.. triple chocolate brownie with vanilla bean ice cream bourbon Carmel glaze and candied walnuts read more

Celebrated my parents 45th wedding anniversary with dinner at Cole'sHearth Room. My parents said it was the best steaks they ever had and the sides were delicious as well. My salmon was so delicious, I highly recommend it! Drinks were good too! read more

We dine here all we can....and we are never disappointed. Always surprised! Off the charts wait staff. Just plain excellent! Food that puts 'big city' restaurants to shame. Little town. Big flavors and unusual offerings. I've traveled. Extensively. No one does it like Cole's. 10/10. Make the drive. read more

This is now our fourth visit and second review. (Somehow our first 5-star review has been relegated to a non-status -- It was before the other review by two weeks, but didn't even get counted in the statistics. What's with that?) Here's the thing: we are foodies and we've lived in major cities across the country. When we retired to our ancestral home in central Illinois, our expectations were to travel most of the time. Since the Pandemic, we've been benched and largely cooking for ourselves. Our favorite restaurants in the Hannibal/Quincy area -- Thyme Square and Tiramisu -- don't have outside seating. So seeing Cole's Hearth Room on a side trip to Palmyra was a cause for rejoicing. Our first review makes that clear. Since then, we've taken guests there twice and been back again. While this isn't Chicago or New York, we've found the food to be on occasion as good as any we've had in those cities. We are trying to figure out how to dine there in the winter during the Pandemic and take out is problematic since we are 30 minutes away. Maybe we'll just need to have an order of their amazing, best-in-class Truffle Frites and eat them in the parking lot. P.S. We are not related and never met (until tonight) the owners. read more

Food was well beyond my expectations! The grilled Caesar tasted lightly chargrilled with perfect amount off of delicious in-house dressing and fresh Parmesan, the pork belly appetizers were so good we got a second order , my steak was grilled perfectly and even the brownie was special at the end . I can honestly say everything was just slightly over the top in a special way , just attention to detail and delicious! These. People . Care . About . Food . The wait staff was exceptional ( I think the girls name was Olivia ) very conscientious and with no pretense , couldn't wait to get home and write this review , I hope they are here for many years to come, BRAVO !!! Well done! read more

Excellent lamb chops, delicious salad with house-made dressings. It's worth the 25-mile drive...

Had a wonderful meal with the family last night. We had 5 difference entrees and everyone was very pleased with their dinner. Logan was our server and he did was terrific job keeping our table cleared and was very attentive of our needs. 5 star server. Can't wait to go back!! read more

OK. I literally leave a review once a year. This is it for 2023. Wow! My wife and I just returned from our maiden voyage to Cole's. Amazing! Book a reservation NOW! We've been to restaurants all over the country, and world. This is tier 1. Maybe top 5. The food, the service, the atmosphere. Seriously, book it. You will not be disappointed. read more

We were driving through Missouri and found this place. It's beautiful! It was a hospital during the civil war. The food is amazing!! The Caesar salads are grilled and the filet and salmon are the best we've had! The smoked maple man-fashioned (lol) was so good! Kristy was so fun and made our night! If you are anywhere close, you have to stop! We are 2 hours from home but we'll be back! read more

My husband and I along with my daughter Dined at Cole's on 12 February. We were dismayed to see a special Valentine's Day menu that was at best limited and at worst price gouging. When we made our reservations there was no mention of a special menu for Valentines weekend. My daughter ordered the chicken which came out rubbery. We had to send it back which caused our visit there to be much longer than anticipated. Bottom line we were disappointed after positive experiences there. Review from first experience at Cole's. The atmosphere as well as the food and drink was beyond my expectations! I should not post a bad review without giving a review of our positive experience. Since my last review the owner had reached out to me which I very much appreciated. read more

crab cake yum yum atmosphere very nice steak 4/5, was cooked the way i asked service good will def be back read more

It was a very pleasant experience! The service is wonderful. Grilled shrimp is so delicious! It has the most amazing flavor! My husband enjoyed the salmon, very much, as well. My only sadness is that you get barely any vegetable. I wish it was even a whole serving. I ordered a salad in addition to my shrimp, so I got some greenery. I do not care for potatoes, of any kind, so I gave those to my husband. He loooved mine and his. Our drinks were always kept filled by our polite server. The restaurant is clean, including restrooms. I do definitely highly recommend you try this place out! read more

Unbelievable. The food & drinks never disappoint. Wonderful owners & staff! Favorite date night spot.

We have been here several times. It is so nice having an upscale restaurant in Palmyra. The urban cowboy I had was cooked perfect and tasted wonderful. They have interesting cocktails, ice cold beer, and of course my favorite, Hendricks Gin martini. The toasted ravioli is probably the best I have ever had. read more

You will not find anything any better. I had the urban steak it was super. They also have an awesome bar for drinks. Must stop here and come back often. read more
