    I don't believe it is very well known, although a few times passing there were 3 or 4 cars in the drive thru.

Enter Pine Mountain Country Coffee on Festus Main Street. This is a mini Cracker Barrel. If you look around, it will resemble Cracker Barrel. They have all the candies and the sweets and the baked items. It's adorable inside. Their coffee is strong, it's great, and you should be supporting Local businesses like this. The service is genuine and way faster than the chains. Do not make me go protest in the Starbucks and Dunkin' Donuts parking lots. Don't do that to me.

They recently have reworked the inside some and have a new candy station that is full of all kinds of seasonal goodies. When I worked down the street, I would often come for their cold brew coffee, fir an afternoon pick me up. They also serve some pretty amazing breakfast and lunch sandwiches on New York bagels. Weekend hours are longer over the summer and early fall staying open until 10pm but as they hit October the hours shift to close by 9 o'clock on the weekends. They have cute ice cream cone seating tables as well as an old time soda bar. Definitely our families go-to ice cream splurge. I love that it's on Main Street with all the cute boutiques, shopping and local events.

    Everything was fantastic. We had breakfast on a Saturday. The place was packed but we still got…read morefantastic service and our food fairly quickly. My husband got the breakfast burrito which he demolished and I got the Philly omelette which was packed full of meat and cheese. We split the cinnamon roll waffle which has a cream cheese icing to die for. It's the best waffle we've ever had. I watched many fantastic looking goodies getting delivered to other tables. We will definitely return to try some of the other mouth watering options. Staff was attentive and super sweet. Glasses stayed full and we left stuff. The abbey is a beautiful building. Historical photos line the walls. It is definitely a worthy day trip. Don't forget to grab some baked goods to go. They have bread a pastries. My husband and I had a phenomenal meal and we will be back to sample more.

I wanted a steak, perused the menu, saw something that said "Saintsbury Steak", "real Missouri beef", etc. $18, sounded like a steak to me. Turns out it was a tiny little SALSBURY steak!! On a bed of fake mashed potatoes. When I contacted the owner, told him I was misled by the description on the menu, was very disappointed in an $18 HAMBURGER on fake potatoes, he simply said he was sorry I felt that way, so sad. He said that was one of his best sellers. All I can say is his clientele must not have much to choose from. I'll NEVER go back there again. I sure miss the previous owners who cared what they served and how people liked it.
