The restaurant is located in the town's restored old hotel right near the town square. Upon entering, there's delightfully cozy seating and a candlelit interior--we were seated in the library room that contained a few intimate tables. The service was amazing. Jill is attentive yet gave us space for conversation. She recommended the tenderloin special, which paired with the blueberry gastrique and parsnip purée was a nice mashup of flavors. The soup of the day was a rich, creamy lobster bisque. My husband ordered the salmon grilled and said it was well seasoned and cooked to perfection. We ordered a dessert to share (turtle cheesecake), and they thoughtfully plated it with a starburst of whipped cream for each of us! The owners came around and checked on everyone briefly. They were very kind and hospitable. Overall, the Old Colonial Inn was a delightful experience and a hidden gem.

They make their own bloody Mary mix in house. They also make the cole slaw and it was delicious. We stopped at this place on the way to St Louis from Michigan. It is not right off the exit but I would forego the fast food and go the one more mile for some great food and fresh beer. It is a local bar with a hometown feel but you don't feel unwelcome.

Ultimate Grilled Cheese was good. Bacon was piled high on the grilled cheese. Almost too much. But it was tasty. Wife thought the chicken was too lemony. I thought it tasted very good. But I like a little tang on the chicken tongue. The seats are comfortable as hell. Looking for some for my house. Always sit at the tables if you want one of those comfy seats.

I ate there on 8/22. Food took about an hour. I understand they had two large groups that they…read moreknew about beforehand. They were understaffed. When the food arrived some was cold some was not. The prime rib was excellent as was the asparagus. The jumbo battered shrimp was also excellent. Some sides arrived later than the whole meal.

America is quickly becoming coast to coast franchises but locally owned restaurants like I & I don't just lend nostalgia to a quickly disappearing past, but give us hope for the future. I'm sure you're not reading this review for my prophesy for the future of the US, so here's a review of the food. Ah-mazing. I got the Elwood Burger Cheddar Horseradish Chive Cheese, Bourbon Bacon Jam, Grilled Onion and a side of fries. The burger was well portioned, and perfectly cooked. The toppings were to die for. We were just passing through and needed dinner but if I'm ever in whatever town this is again, I will definitely be stopping here. I can't say this is the best restaurant in town, only because I've only eaten here but my suspicion is that it is. I'm tempted to purchase the property across the street (beside the prison) just to eat here every day. I think it'd be a fair trade. Just don't pick up any hitchhikers out front.

The food was really good - my husband had a burger and I had a grilled tenderloin.

We will definitely stop in again!

I would give him ten stars if it was possible. There were 4 adults in our party and an 18 month old (very busy boy). He initiated contact by talking directly to him, high fiving and knuckles and then gave him a dollar so he was making an impression early as a good guy. While we looked at the menu for food and drinks he suggested we get something started for the little guy since he was hungry (GREAT IDEA). He then took our drink order and got right to it. He checked in with us frequently, offered sauce suggestions and refreshed our adult beverages and drinks as often as they were partially full (that is GREAT service). Once dinner was underway, and our little one wanted something to do, we took turns in the lobby to help him get the wiggles out. As dinner was coming to an end, our said little, starting putting up a big fuss because it was time for bed, so when Brian took our credit card, he asked if he could show him around, and within our eyesight he did just that, which the newness calmed our little one down, and he promptly brought him back. BEST service I have ever experienced at a restaurant. Thank you. Food was tasty and filling, thank you for that too!

We finally made it up there a couple weeks ago, set reservations, they were absolutely not needed on the Friday at 7 when we went. The service was fantastic, the dessert that we got was delicious, the food was ok at best (something you could get pretty much anywhere but it's a charming little place so that alone made it enjoyable), drinks from the bar were really good. We happened to be sitting at a table with an elderly couple behind us, this guy was so incredibly rude that my husband finally looked at me and said " That guy over there is being a complete prick to the staff". He was speaking to the staff like they were beneath him, he was incredibly rude to multiple employees and my husband and I just agreed he must be a miserable human being to treat people that way. After they left, we overheard another staff member tell the table next to us that was the owner. We looked at a picture of him just to be 100% sure and sure enough it was the owner. The wife looked embarrassed, the whole section we were in was taking note of the way this guy was speaking to the staff. Talk about secondhand embarrassment, he obviously didn't have any embarrassment to begin with but the rest of the restaurant was taking notice and cringing, after he left it was discussed among the tables. His behavior was repulsive, if you run a restaurant and you talk to your employees like that on the dining room floor, you should be ashamed. If you have an issue with the way you were being served you could've taken that up with the employee somewhere other than the floor. You obviously think that you're more important than you actually are and your behavior that day was vile, even if that was the best food I've ever eaten in my life I wouldn't return after he demeaned that kid like that. To the poor kid that he treated the worst, who just laughed it off and tried to pretend like he wasn't being talked to like that in front of a dining room room full of people, your parents must've raised you right because you had every reason to not stand there and take that.

We sat at the bar and the bartender is super attentive 1 o'clock in the afternoon on a Thursday and it's not very busy The music is decent not too loud. There are a lot of TVs. We ordered Reuben combo with pastrami and corned beef with a side of macaroni and cheese and we also ordered a side of the cornbread casserole just because it's something unique and different to try. As for the sandwich we both enjoyed it although it's a little smoky Mac & cheese is okay. It definitely could use green onions on top to dress it And the cornbread casserole is a homemade cornbread that's soft with like a kind of cream filling and loaded with corn it was my least favorite We also ordered a couple old-fashioned.
