Hometown Cafe

Wonderful service, fresh hot homemade breakfast. All leads than $ 5. Service was good, she was really busy. I will come back again.

First of all ignore the bad review of this place. Maybe the lady was having a bad day or even a bad decade. A buddy and I stopped in on our way back from the Lake of the Ozarks. It was definitely a wise choice. We had the luncheon special of BBQ ham steak, scalloped potatoes and corn. The ham steak was the best I ever had. You didn’t need a knife to cut the meat; you could easily slice through it with your fork. However the ham wasn’t the best part of the meal. The freakin scalloped potatoes were, by far, the best I ever had (my friend totally agree)! And, unbelievably, this plate of food was only $ 5.99 (without a drink).
I didn’t try the pie. However I’ll be going to the LOZ within the next month and looking forward to trying a slice of homemade pie.
This is a café in a small town. Don’t expect to be greeted be friendly maitre d’ and/​or have the waitresses fawn all over you. Small town cafes don’t operate like that. But if you like good down to earth comfort food at reasonable prices make this a priority stop.

I’m pretty sure we had the worst waitress in the whole world. The food was okay, although the sides are pretty small for the al a carte pricing. They are well-​known for their homemade pies, but I was disappointed that my chocolate meringue pie was runny from being refrigerated for probably a day or two. The crust was disgusting, I left it on the plate.

Great food… excellent waitstaff… and dessert that is worth the calories!

Finally stopped here for lunch after years of driving by and always seeing a full parking lot! It is a nice family restaurant with friendly employees. I tried the Sunday buffet with fried chicken and ham and it reminded me of mom’s dinners. Hubby had a bacon cheeseburger that was good size and very fresh. We would definitely return. The prices are super! The buffet, a drink and cheeseburger cost a total of $ 15 — you really can’t beat that!
