    My husband and I love this bar. Bob was fantastic and the best. We will be back soon. Met some locals and we adore them. Great people here and a must for all to come see.

    This place is really good! My hubby and I had a delicious lunch during #stjosephrestaurantweek. I had the Ruben. It was hot and freshly toasted. The meat was really tasty. The sour kraut was good and the Russian dressing was delicious. I enjoyed it. I would have it again! My hubby had the French dip and gave me a bite. It was hot and tasty too. The meat had a delicious smoky flavor. He loved it! The creamed horseradish was wonderful. He'd have this again in a heartbeat. Hubby also had a bowl of gumbo. It was hot and meaty. It was good. The pickles were quality, crunchy pickles, just how I love them. The cheesecake was good. Although it's a bit different than what I'm used to. Their hot food was hot, just like you want it to be. Their meat is quality meat, just like you want it to be. If I ever crave a sandwich with good, quality meat, I'm going to think of this place!

    French dip!

    We were randomly visiting the Pony Express Museum and decided to try a local place for lunch. What a treasure! We split a French dip, chili, and the soup of the day - shrimp corn chowder, and a piece of cheesecake for dessert. Everything was absolutely delicious - coming in second place to only the exceptional service.

    I found this place through Yelp and after reading the reviews, I decided I was going to meet a colleague from St. Joes at this spot for lunch. The front of the restaurant is very deceiving, made me want to double check my Google Map directions because it didn't look like a deli. Once I saw a signage declaring this was Magoons, I parked my vehicle on the side of the street and walked in. Right away, service was very friendly, welcoming, and fantastic. I was very surprised on the decor, seemed like this place was 80 years old and in the same condition from decades ago. I ordered the hot beef sandwich, chips, and a cheesecake. The sandwich and chips came out quickly and I was pleasantly surprised of the great taste and simple presentation (see picture). This place allowed great conversation and hardly any distraction. The bartender was very good in checking up on us, double checking to see what else he could provide to promote the friendly atmosphere. At the end, I picked up a cheesecake to go and thought I would definitely make a return visit once I am in the area again.

    Checked out this place for my sandwich influencer blog (Instagram @bloemkesandwich), and was not disappointed. I imagine the atmosphere hasn't changed much in the last several decades, which I love to see in these local gems. I ordered the Grilled 3-cheese with cheddar, provolone, and Swiss + organic spring mix, tomato, onion, mayo, and spicy mustard, per the suggestion of the bartender/waiter (I wish I remembered his name). It was outstanding. Not the typical grilled cheese. Next to my table was a framed letter from 2.29.80 espousing the deliciousness of the homemade cheesecake, so obviously I couldn't pass that up. The letter was not wrong. Damn, that was good cheesecake! The service was great. The food was great. The cheesecake was out of this world. Definitely worth checking out.

    Sandwiches were good but small for a deli. I look forward to the no smoking ordinance. I will be back when it takes effect.

(Especially in this economy) While ordering online, be aware that the time it says on the ordering portal/site is not generally accurate. I, on multiple occasions, have ordered something with a specific pick up time selected (I left plenty of time, thirty minutes from when I ordered to when I wanted to pick it up) and the food still was not ready. Ex: ordered at 11:30 am, pick up time of 11:55-12:00, food was ready closer to 12:10 and I received the 'your food is ready text' at 12:45 pm. While this isn't a bad thing if you have time, if you're on a tight lunch schedule I'd look otherwise. This location is also a bit smaller than their Parkville location, so if it's crowded it's very noticeable and can get a little overwhelming. I do prefer the Platte City location to Parkville though, as their Parkville location doesn't do that good of a job when I order online (this may just be me but I have to take it into consideration). Overall, I do recommend it, just be aware that it is pricey, when packed it can get a little overwhelming, and be aware of how long you have to eat.

I love the various options on their menu. They serve a variety of deli meats and cheeses, available to go as well as on sandwiches. The wall of chips is impressive too! I ordered a toasted plain bagel, perfectly golden, along with a white chocolate macadamia nut hot drink. The bagel was incredibly fresh, with a warm, slightly chewy texture reminiscent of homemade bread. My drink was made with half the usual sweetness, using creamy oat milk, and had a rich, balanced flavor that was very satisfying. Next time I'll plan to get a cinnamon roll - those are huge and look delicious!! I plan to add this place to my coffee-and-breakfast routine.

Although it is quite a trip to get here , it could be made into a great Saturday road trip for the KC people! Shatto Milk is 15 minutes away and offers fresh milk , butter and ice cream. Also, this place is on the way to Jamesport, MO. Jamesport is a great destination for green houses, fresh baked goods, and small town antique shops. Pro tip: there is a house about 5 mins. away that offers fresh cow's milk( unprocessed, and raw). We have been going to this sandwich store for over ten years, and I'm just getting around to writing about the awesomeness that is Old Cookstove. The sandwiches are fully customizable and features their homemade breads. They offer meat and cheese at a low price, but the quality is unbelievable. There is also fresh eggs, pantry goods and candy. The baked goods are offered daily. Fried pies: gooseberry( personal favorite, pucker power), cherry cream, black raspberry cream, apple..... the list goes on and on. Oatmeal raisin cookies : they contain secrets in those cookies, pure magic. The list goes on and on. Need a latte? Yep , they make them.
