Cole Farms - Gray

Cole Farms Restaurant and Pub has been around since the 1950s, but this past weekend was my first time dining there. The food was decent and enjoyable. You can choose to eat in the restaurant or the bar, depending on your mood and whether a game is on. I ordered the Barburger with fries. Although I requested it medium, it was served less cooked than I'd hoped. However, I didn't send it back because the flavor was outstanding, and the bacon was cooked to my liking. The fries were standard frozen ones, not exceptional, but they suited the meal well. My wife tried the open-faced chicken sandwich, a dish she has loved since visiting in the 1990s. While the sandwich was made with white meat, she wasn't disappointed by the dark meat option, which was a concern for her since she typically prefers dark meat. She also ordered the French fries, which quickly disappeared from her plate, suggesting she enjoyed them. Although there was a bit of a wait for a table, the staff was polite, and we left feeling satisfied and happy.

The food was great, and we’ll really miss this place since they’re closing in a few weeks.

This is a fantastic spot for delicious local comfort food! I tried the meatloaf dinner, and it was amazing!

I only enjoyed a spinach salad for lunch here and ice cream. The food was delicious and our waitress was very attentive.

The best advice to anyone is to forget what Cole Farms used to be. Honestly, their food was mediocre at best but it had been a staple in the community. One of my favorites was the open faced sandwich; I was happy to see it on the new menu. I ordered it during a recent visit and was bummed when it came out. It is NOT the same as before, however, it was delicious. The bread, gravy and mashed potatoes were better quality and tasted excellent. The portion was smaller but honestly adequate for a meal. Good value at only $10... The waitresses are all really trying but being met with a lot of push back; its evident. We have been back three times since the re-open and will continue to visit. Each time service seems to be improving. My only real complaint is that the chicken salad sandwich is no longer offered. By far my favorite and most missed item on the menu.
