REVIEWS OF The Palms Grill Cafe IN Illinois

Murray Ball

The Palms Grill Cafe is an original cafe on Route 66. It was well known for its ability to hail the bus for passengers waiting inside by turning on a red signal light. I stopped in for a cuppa, had some blueberry pie and a chat with the waitress, who was very friendly. It was an absolute delight

Jonathan Hunt

Loved the food. Great classic Americana atmosphere. The Ruben was top notch.

Very nice, nostalgic dinner on the heart of Route 66. Delicious food and friendly service. The desserts are heavenly! Can't wait to come back and try the root beer float!

Joseph Culpepper

Good Rte 66 cafe atmosphere & cafe food.

Joyce Dudzinski

Watched Billy Connoly's Route 66 that featured this diner. I am about an hour and a half away, and will definitely come by for some good cooking and a piece of pie. Collinsville IL

This place has been through a lot over the last 5 or 10 years, including many changes of management. But it seems to have really found its groove with the current management. The food is absolutely fantastic. Everything I've tried has been outstanding. The service has been good. The atmosphere is great. I especially like the old 1950s pinball machine that is still working perfectly.

Marilyn Armbrust

We happened to stop by there on a crazy busy day. Normally I would deduct a star for how long we had to wait, but the staff were so amazingly friendly and helpful that I'm adding the star back on. We took our kids there and they loved being in an old 'diner' and learning how to open bottles with a bottle opener. Our friendly waitress let us know about the museum upstairs and so we had fun looking through a small but surprisingly interesting local museum while we waited for our food. And the food... SO GOOD! Very tasty and presented in a very appealing fashion. We cleared our plates! Regrettably, we were only passing through on a road trip, but if we lived in the area, we would be regular customers!

Loved my skillet! So delicious. it sounds weird but it was one of the best I've ever had. And the employees were so very nice. The guy chatted with us and the other table that came in.

This is a delightful kitchy diner. The food was terrific, the pie was DELICIOUS! But, the interesting part was the museum upstairs!! Really interesting history & local history. A perfect stop on any route 66 travelers agenda. There was a patch of original road at the edge of town! The folks in Atlanta were just so nice & welcoming.

Must stop! Waitress was so nice, showing our family all the Vintage Route 66 collection and pics. Great food, home-made ingredients, loved it.

chris thomas

Fun place to experience the past AND enjoy a great meal. The Reuben sandwich is my favorite, but the holy smokes burger and the fried chicken are close behind.

Michael Ball

Vintage feel, good food, only thing to mar the experience was the catsup. Very good hand cut fries and I poured runny vinegar flavored sauce over them. Don't know whether was cheap catsup poured into Heinz bottle or watered down. Friendly service, great pie.

I visited the restaurant for the first time on 3/11 arriving at 11:15am. The waitress was friendly and asked for drink orders very soon after I arrived. I ordered coffee with cream. The coffee was brought promptly but it was room temperature. They opened at 10:00am. After I told the waitress she said "I didnt know it was cold". I did receive fresh brewed coffee but had to wait for it. I ordered an omelet with mushrooms and onions. It came with shredded hashbrowns. The hashbrowns were soaked through with oil. The omelet taste and texture was pretty good but again the veggies were oil soaked and the outside of the omelet was oil soaked. Because of the old cold coffee and the over use of oil in the food I had to give a lower rating.

Dr. Monica Cluett

Charming diner with great food and a small town feel. Service was excellent and so was the ponyshoe.

Susana Manon-Rodriguez

I had the all you can eat fried cod with handmade fries. Great service and great people. There's a museum on the second floor. Great place to stop by if you are making a Route 66 Road Trip like me!

James G

Delicious Denver skillet! My wife loved her BLT! Very nice little Diner with a small town charm! Very friendly service and the prices are fair for quality and portion size. Nice fresh home cooked meals! Will definitely be back in the future when back in the area.

Pete Schmidt

Great ambience, great food, great staff. Been there multiple times and will continue going back. It's like stepping back into the '30's and '40's.

Peter S

Perfect food, perfect service, perfect ambiance. This retro diner, around since the early days of car transportation is a fun stop for the entire family. Most everything made in house. Walls chock a block full of memorabilia. Vintage machines, too, in working order. Bonus? Giant hot dog man across the street!

Driving to Chicago we pulled off in Atlanta for fuel and food. Drove a little further to the Palms Grill. Found the cutest diner with delicious food. Super friendly staff. I got the special of fried chicken and mashed potatoes. The chicken was absolutely divine. Very flavorful and tender. Definitely a hidden gem. Will be stopping back again!

Along route 66 you come into Atlanta...this is where I discovered my most favorite diner. The food is fabulous and so is the service. Eating here is an experience of places long ago. You have an all American icon there and I will support your diner forever. Take the time to stop in and taste not just the food but a piece of Americana. I love you folks!

Hammer Godsey

Nice place good food fair prices.

Tom Tuttle

Very interesting history with great old fashioned ice cream soda. Friendly staff with fantastic ambiance.

Salvador Ruiz

I drove 2 hrs for the pie,, and coffee and pie are not the best... They say pie is the best.. The only good thing is the music.. Is Saturday, 6:00 pm.. They're out of almost half menu.. So no food to criticize I'm glad...

Samantha Hathaway

Food was not good. Hand spun milkshake was melted. 'Famous' pie was almost inedible -cinnamon overpowered blackberries and way too much thickener (uncooked flour)

matthew ranum

Good service and food

john poreda

Hidden Gem on old route 66.

Dan Long

So just so happened to find this little diner right on the old route 66, in a cool, small town. Very friendly staff with some cool story's to tell, the food was excellent, especially the horseshoe which is an original recipe to the state of illinois. If you get a chance stop here. London

Cougarfied Bunnie

Very nice staff, clean environment, very relaxing, the museum upstairs is beyond awesome.. prices are very good.. so are the root beer floats

Melody Roth

Great atmosphere and delicious food!

Rajean Gallagher

Charming original diner with excellent food and personable service. Great prices.

Karl Bloss

What a gem! I stopped in to use Atlanta's free electric vehicle charger downtown and ended up staying for pie and coffee. Behind the unassuming store front is a 1950s style cafe with a counter and tables. Don't bypass the cafe and the town while passing on I-55.

Ts Sams

Love the staff and great food, the style of the cafe takes you back a few

Ron Slayback

Great burgers and even better pie!

Heather Nihiser

Fantastic food, service, and atmosphere! You get a great plate for very inexpensive. We tried a variety of dishes from pulled pork horseshoes to salads to waffles. You will NOT leave hungry! The team taking care of us tonight was highly hospitable and professional, while not being overbearing. We were extremely comfortable, and we loved the atmosphere of the place. Such an amazing historical gem!

Billi Blotevogel

The service was wonderful from beginning to end, great cook, willing to make substitution, very fair prices, freah potato chips and fries so yummy and not greasy at all. Our server was very kind and went above and beyond for us knew what we needed before we did. Will be going again. Great for families!!!!

steven hissa

Hands down best fried chicken. Move over Paula Deen. Loved this place. Like going back to the 50's. Hubby had a full breakfast delicious. Myself fried chix. Homemade mashed potatoes. Staff was very friendly. Home made pie to die for. Keep up the good job.

Franz Todt

Visited for lunch with my wife. Had pork tenderloin pony shoe. Cheese sauce really good, homemade fries, meat quality OK. Service was excellent, quaint place, museum upstairs. Homemade pies and desserts.

Dana Vassos

Great location, lots of local flavor. The bologna sandwich, hot dog with pork, Reuben and Palms burger were all fantastic! Next time we'll have to save room for pie.

Paula Popenfoose

I love coming here, eating delicious food, and stepping back in history. My latest visit I saw the original phone in use.

Scooby Roo

This is such an awesome diner. I have been here several times when working in the area. This place has such COOL history with route 66 I believe I read somewhere that it dates back to the 1930's. The food is SO SO delicious. I have not had a bad meal here in over probably 20 visits. Just leave room for their pie choices and check their hours of operation . I believe they are closed on Mondays & Tuesdays.

Buster Conway

Old route 66 cafe

Katrina Keogh

The food was perfect diner food, and the coffee was fresh and hot even at 2:30pm. We took pie to go and enjoyed it at our next rest stop break :) This beats the average road trip stop by a long shot!

Tara Brown

This is a great small town restaurant! They have very friendly and accommodating staff. The food is great! Fresh made fries. The Frisco melt is delicious. The chicken strips were very tasty too! They even made my daughter homemade honey mustard sauce for her strips. It is so worth a stop! Hours are not standard, so call first.

We felt like we went back in time in this cute little cafe off of Route 66. We were already full from eating earlier but we stopped in for some of their delicious homemade pies and a piece of red velvet cake.
