⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Britt Park
Outstanding. What a wonderful place. The food was delicious - Cajun pasta with a kick. Andouille sausage, shrimp and peppers. Tasty! I added blackened chicken to the entree. Plus for dessert fresh peaches, pecans and ice cream! So good!! The service was 5 star as Hannah was friendly and courteous. She was knowledgeable and explained various items on the menu. Robyn, the owner stopped by and explained the history of the place. She and her partner started the place years ago and has built a solid base of regular customers. By 5:30pm the place was packed with happy people. A fun atmosphere. The bar is loaded with many liquors. Plus several signature drinks that the patrons were enjoying and mocktails too. Highly recommend Tellers for great food and a good time.

Tellers is located downtown Columbia and is known for their fresh entrees as well as their awesome cocktails and mocktails. We would go to Tellers for happy hour all the time back when we were attending college! The salads are vibrant, fresh, and packed with flavors. The appetizers are ALL amazing as well. There are a few tables outside, if you are lucky enough to snag one on a beautiful day. Tellers is a wonderful spot to enjoy a beverage in downtown COMO!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Kasey Huston
The sauces!! Yum!! Especially the red pepper one that comes with the crostini app, OMG, so good! Tara got me a side to go with what I didn't finish, and I enjoyed it just as much the second time around! I swear I'll try the sweet potato chips but this time I had crispy tots with my burger. I drank a Michelada, a bloody beer, which was very good because I don't like clam juice and they don't use any!! Servers are all friendly and attentive, and they get pretty busy, but I always find a seat at the bar!!

This was my first visit to Tellers Gallery & Bar in Columbia, MO. It was fairly busy, but seemed well staffed so service was prompt and the staff was attentive. I had the Onion Rings and Poblano Peppers appetizer and the pan grilled Ribeye Steak. The Ribeye was the special for the evening, I don’t think it is on their regular menu. The food was excellent and whiskey pours were generous. I will definitely return when I am back in the area.

And they're back! After a very long closure due to a fire in the building last year this Columbia staple is finally open again. The decor is very similar to the old Teller's we all love however it's been upgraded during the remodel to give it a fresh new look. And is much brighter! The food was just as good as before. If you've missed this iconic food stop or you're looking for a trendy place to grab a delicious drink and meet with friends, this is your Columbia go to. So happy to have it back on the CoMo food scene.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Joshua Spurgeon

Busy bar/restaurant atmosphere. Well lighted space with large windows. Nice local art displayed throughout. Indoor and outdoor seating. Central downtown location. Easy to find and easy to walk to from paid parking.

Every year for my birthday I come to Missouri to visit and go to Tellers. I get hot wings, which are so delicious . I had 2 glasses of Rose' which was nicely chilled. For dessert I had the bread pudding, which was warm and mouth-watering, delicious 😋
