It's the kind of place you instantly know you'll want to return to. This was our first time here and we were go glad we made the little trip down to Bourbon, MO! We ordered the bacon and egg panini, and it was cooked perfectly. Whatever homemade seasoned butter they use deserves special recognition--it added so much flavor and made an already great sandwich even better. Of course, the dessert case was impossible to ignore. Everything looked incredible, and choosing was no easy task. We finally settled on a pecan brownie and a sea-salt chocolate chip gooey butter cake slice. Both were fantastic, but the gooey butter cake completely stole the show. Hands-down, it was the absolute best gooey butter cake I have ever had--and I've tried many from plenty of bakers over the years. This single slice may have changed my outlook on life. They've set the bar so high that I honestly don't know how anyone else could top it. Warmed up just as the owner suggested, it was melt-in-your-mouth perfection with a tender, flaky crust and incredible flavor. Absolutely phenomenal. We will definitely be back again--and you should go too!

We were served immediately as the restaurant was slowing from the lunch rush. We ordered waters, the chicken strip lunch, and the bacon cheese burger (with no bun).

The restaurant itself was clean and felt like someone poured into decorating the restaurant to feel welcoming with a tinge of country. Overall a lovely place to stop, take your time, and enjoy good food and good service!

I ordered the chicken strips, and they were incredibly dry, almost as if they had been sitting out for too long. The fries were equally disappointing completely basic and served without any salt. To make matters worse, the Sprite was undrinkable; it tasted like pure sugar syrup rather than a properly mixed soda. Honestly, I've had better quality and much better-tasting food at standard fast-food chains for a fraction of the cost. I won't be returning.
