Great service. Excellent food. Homemade desserts. Great weekday specials that are as good as grandmas house. Must try!

Great place if you don't want service!! Stopped in for lunch were ignored by everyone, while they helped 3 tables of locals that came in after us, without so much as a be right with you. Terrible experience. read more

We have ate here twice traveling from KC to Jefferson City. Decided to give it a try based on reviews. We weren't disappointed! The hamburgers are very good with homemade paddies fresh off the grill! Just the right amount of grease to taste delicious but not feel sick afterward. There is more on the menu and there was a salad bar the first time we visited. Will definitely be back! read more

Food was excellent. Cake your tail feather for me. Swine o Mite for hubby and Apollo for Penny for sis in law. Lots of food. Cudos to the cook! Service was outstanding! Jade had her eye on it and she'll keep her eye out for you. She's very helpful and energetic. Top notch! Can't forget Boss Man Darrell. Runs a great ship. Highly recommend this place. We will be back to try breakfast. read more

What a perfect spot for breakfast! We were working our way (slowly) back home to KC from St. Charles after bicycling the Katy trail and needed a spot for breakfast. We happened across this divey-looking local eatery and decided to stop. The food and service were both excellent and we met the owner who quickly identified us as non-locals. What a hoot! Prices reflect its small town pedigree, too! read more

Stopped in today and the food was delicious. I ordered the burger-it's a 1/2 pound btw-and it was super delicious. I recommend it. It's definitely some good grandmas style cooking. read more

Went their today had a cheeseburger and fries it was very good and fresh off the grill the waitstaff was good for a small town. The place was also clean read more

Friendliest cafe you'll find anywhere with home cooked food. This is only the 2nd time here as we don't often drive by but we love breakfast here. If you're looking for good food that's reasonably price with a friendly atmosphere, give them a try read more

Hometown Cafe - Homemade cinnamon rolls too! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Syracuse, Missouri

If I could give it 6 stars I would. Really good grilled chicken sandwich, ribbon fries and the customer service was exceptionally good. The name fits the restaurant to a tee, exactly what a home town cafe should be. Second trip was just as good. read more

Hometown Cafe - Fried chicken special - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Syracuse, Missouri

The food was terrible. We waited for about an hour and never got the chance to order. So we decided to just eat the buffet. For $40 the food was just not worth it. read more

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! read more

This is the best cafe ever!! If you havent tried it do it,trust me. Sunshine is the best waitress and it has such good service, try it!!!

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 cafe 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. read more

We regularly pass this place on our way to the Lake of Ozarks and decided to try it out for Sunday breakfast on our way home. It was around 10am and the restaurant was about half full. They have a breakfast buffet option, which appeared to be the choice of most of the people when we arrived. We ordered off the menu, a couple omelets, French toast and hash browns. We noted that at least a dozen tables were turned while we waiting all eating the buffet. After 45min of waiting for our order the server said ours was next up. We ended up waiting just short of an hour for our food and they forgot part of the order. The food was ok and the server was nice, but the long wait was not worth it. We won't be stopping here again. The kitchen clearly didn't balance filling orders and keeping the buffet full very well. read more

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. read more

The wait staff and owners are great. The food is amazing. They have ruined me for Hamburgers anywhere else. I highly recommend that you go try it. It is a must when we are here to visit before we leave. read more

Fantastic, tasty food, with a wide variety of menu items for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They have several specials during the week. The staff and management are very friendly and attentive. Hours very from week days to weekends. Check out the hours for a buffet (one is on Sunday morning for breakfast, and lunch), and ask about the Huge Cinnamon Rolls! My fiancé and I were both very happy with the setting, food, and very positive, delicious experience. I highly recommend Hometown Cafe read more

The best ribs anywhere! Have had the ribs on Friday several times and never been disappointed. The best I've ever had. And the best price too! Excellent service. Locally owned. read more

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

Great service. Great food, except the cook needs to lose the salt and pepper. Please understand the S&P is on the table. I quit getting steaks because of the strong spices. Hamburger steaks are even worse. We spoke to owner but its still the same. We love home Town and eat there frequently. But PLEASE let the CUSTOMER salt & pepper. read more

Impressive! Great food, great prices, great atmosphere, very friendly employees & very clean! Wish we lived closer but now we have a great reason to stop everytime we pass through Syracuse. read more
