It's home style cooking. Of course, it isn't seasoned heavily in order to accommodate the variety of people. Cash only as other reviewers have said. When my husband and I go, it seems to always be $42.00 for the two of us-that's with dessert. And yes, it is mostly senior citizens. Go for the food - not the clientele! Occasionally a family with young children is there. It is buffet style and not always food that I would think a child would like-my opinion. If you need help carrying a tray, there is a waitress to assist you. read more

Miss Sheri's Cafeteria - Saturday's Menu (August 2026) - American Near Me - Saint Louis, Missouri

CASH ONLY!!! Cash only, zero debit or credit card. Food is always good. Cafeteria style. 96% ala carte. Each day they have an entree combo special. You pay for everything ala carte. You are charged for a pat of butter. You are charged for a single pickle spear. That said, that keeps the cost down. I believe cost of a meal is very much worth it. The food is made fresh. They even bake in house. For us coffee addicts, they keep a pot out on the floor to serve yourself, if you can't wait for the coffee lady. Yep. My favorite. No fast food burgers here. Real entrees with real vegetables and great desserts. read more

Heard they were closing so wanted to get in a visit before they did. THEY ARE ALREADY CLOSED! Many people were there at 11:30 today, many older folks and some with walkers or canes, only to find the doors locked and the lights off. Very disappointing they couldn't have notified the public ahead of time. read more

I've been going to Miss Sherry's for over 40 years. I've always been happy with their food service and atmosphere. Prices their pies are so good and they're turkey and dressing fully of cod. They have many good foods. I would recommend it yes read more

Homestyle cafeteria, great desserts and really good coffee. Be aware, this is a cash only establishment. read more

I had the liver and onions today with mashed and gravy and creamed spinach. All were excellent! The peach pie was made with frozen peaches even though it is peach season....but frozen fruit is the next best to fresh! Delicious pies! Thanks for everything you do so well! read more

Rude staff ! I didn't want the last 1 1/2 pork steak in pan. Wanted a fresh pork steak. It was 3ish, so didn't know how long it was sitting there. Another customer refused those last one also. Would not get fresh one until those are gone they said. I made the remark I don't know why they can't get 4 ( my order and the other customer) from the back. Worker says that's not how we do things ! If you don't like it you can go home and cook your own pork steak. That is what I did! Won't go back again. read more

Good. Actually great, cash only. We really enjoy this place. When in the area, it is our number one pick to eat at. read more

This place is cash only! When you go in, make sure you take the door immediately to your left that leads you down a long hallway, NOT towards the dining area. It is not labeled. You're gonna be transported back to 1992 when you eat here. Everything from decor to food. The staff is super nice and will answer all of your questions as long as you're not timid and ask. There are great food specials but I lowkey think we were overcharged in retrospect. We paid just under $50 not including tip for 2 people and we each only had an entree and additional salad and drink. But maybe I'm off base for thinking cafeteria food for 2 shouldn't be $25 a piece? Anyways, the food is pretty good, exactly as you'd expect it, but underspiced. The main flavor is salt lol. But they do have hot sauce and Worcestershire to doctor things up! Would I come here again? Absolutely. But keep the bar low on expectations and know you're there for the vibe first, the convenience of the food second, and the flavor and price last. read more

I had the Chicken Divan, fried potatoes, broccoli-cauliflower medley and a slice of rye bread. All the food is prepared on site. The menu changes daily. Customers will save the most money by ordering one of the specials that are listed on the board. These include one or two sides. The Chicken Divan special was between $10-$12 when I went this past week. That price does not include a beverage. The main dish could have been hotter. Even so, it was still quite tasty. I had a choice of two sides. They have excellent fried potatoes. And the bread is always freshly baked. I do wish they would use less salt on all their main dishes. Customers can always add more salt, but they can't take it out. Many people are on salt restricted diets. It is cash only. I would probably go more often if they accepted credit cards even if they charged me an extra fee on my bill. The interior is nothing fancy. The booth seats and tables could use some repairs. However, I don't think that will happen as they would have to raise prices on their food. It's a family-owned business which is a plus for me. read more

Miss Sheri's Cafeteria - Chicken Divan Special - American Near Me - Saint Louis, Missouri

My wife has been visiting miss sheri's for 30 years. She was very upset when she was accused of getting a extra refill on her soda drink. They were even watching and confronting us about it ( which they had wrong). So once you get past the birds pooping on your head as you enter, we've even seen roaches near the food and the degradation off the place the birds and bugs, then you'll notice the manager (a women) that is a complete hater looking to vent her learned behavior on You. read more

T the reason I gave it a three star is because the food is cold. there is other reviews stating at the food is not hot. We don't understand why you don't fix this problem. It makes me not want to eat there even though they have a good selection of food and the service is great. Please, please serve hot hot food. read more

Food was average with some dishes tasting a bit bland. I do like the cafeteria style with foods being served up to customers on the line. Nice eating environment. read more

My husband & I have been wanting to try Miss Sherri's for awhile.We finally made it there.The food was ok,but nothing was even warm.The only reason my mashed potatoes were kinda warm,was because of the gravy.We both had got bread.When we got back to the table.We realized we didn't grab any butter.My husband went up to grab some.On his way back the Miss Sherri police stopped him & said those are 15 cents a piece sir.He couldn't beleve it & couldn't wait to get back to the table to tell me.That is ridiculous! The reason that I gave 2 stars instead of one.There was a nice lady that refilled my husband's tea a couple of times.Needless to say.We will never be back. read more

Good home cooking selections. The staff was very helpful with offering to carry trays and refill drinks. The servers on the line were helpful with making selections for dinner. Cafeterias have such a wonderful selection of salads and pies for dessert. It is worth a visit for just that! EDIT: Returned a few more times and really enjoyed the home cooking and helpfulness of the staff. We will continue to return. Cash only. read more

Chicken & Dumplings were cold and chicken tough today. Creamed Spinach and potatoes were also cold. My husband food was not warm either. The place was very cold like they had not had the heat on at all. They are very inconsistent in food quality and pricing. They used to be so much better read more

I have eaten at Miss Sheri's many times on different nights of the week. I've tried many of their meals and despite their portions being a little small; the food was always good. Tonight I had the chicken fried steak, which I have had before, was horrible. It looked like ground up garbage and tasted worse. The previous times I had chicken fried steak it was tasty with a nice texture and bite. Tonight it was like mush. I was hungry tonight and was looking forward to a hearty meal but instead I was grossed out with the horrible CHICKEN FRIED STEAK! read more

If you are looking for a home cooked meal like Grandma used to make, this is the place to go. It is overflowing with comfort food. They make everything from scratch. Note: CASH ONLY. This was the first visit for my husband and I. We met a couple that are regulars and talked us into joining them. In honor of my mother, I ordered the Friday night special of Salmon Cakes, pea gravy, fried potatoes and bread. Also got a piece of rhubarb pie. All things she made on a regular basis. The fried potatoes and fresh rye bread were excellent! They slice the bread for you in the line. The Salmon was okay. It had more breading than expected and didn't really taste like salmon. The rhubarb pie was just okay as well. My husband got the beef tips which he described as very tender. He enjoyed that, the fried okra and coconut cream pie . The friendly server kept our drinks filled and our table cleared. The restaurant decor is a little outdated and worn. However, everything was clean. We were very happy with the prices! Seemed most entrees were under $10. However, it is unclear as you go through the line what the cost of sides, desserts and drinks are. We will go back and join our friends again. read more

Always great food and friendly service. We have been there dozens of times over the last few years and always enjoyed it

I went there for lunch on a Thursday. I had the Turkey and dressing, which was a plate full of dressing with some pieces of dark meat added on the side and then they sliced white meat turkey from a full turkey and put on top with some cranberry sauce and gravy added on top. I also got an Italian salad that was like what you would get from a restaurant on The Hill. The second side was a bowl of sweet potatoes. Desert was a slice of coconut pie. Everything was very good. Kind of reminds me of like grandma would make. The clientele here is mostly older white people in their 60s and 70s. They provide help with getting your tray to your table if you need it and a lot of people that were there utilized that. Cash only, no checks or credit cards. They came around regularly to refill water or ice tea. read more

I swear I almost got carded on my way in. Luckily, even though I'm only 47, I must have passed for a 65 year old. I mean there wasn't anyone under 65 there. That's not a judgement that's just an interesting fact. There was a lot of food to choose from and I opted for turkey and stuffing. So did my wife. We both got mashed potatoes, I got a side salad and my wife got a piece of chocolate pie for dessert. The amount of food is staggering. First the turkey is real turkey, sliced right off the bird. And the man carving didn't stop piling stuff on. I think they do on purpose so there's enough for two people per plate. The stuffing was a good amount as well. The salad and potatoes were in a small sized bowl. Turkey gravy on the bird and the 'tatoes for me. Ok, let's start small. The salad was a salad. The turkey gravy was really, really good. I was very impressed. Not a clump to be seen, no gross skin. The pie wasn't great. The filling itself was nice but the crust was a little sad. I'm sure every grandmother that goes through that place and gets the pie cringes at the crust. The mashed potatoes were surprisingly good. They weren't a gloppy mess and they were not dry like you'd expect mashed potatoes under a warming light in a warming tray to be. The stuffing was the one thing, other than the pie crust, that didn't wow me. It was a little soggy, a little dry on the sides, not something you get at thanksgiving from Aunt Ginette from Minnesota. The turkey itself, also, was very good. Not dry, not cottony, nice and moist and a heaping helping of it. Very recommended and I wouldn't hesitate to get it again. I think that about sums it up. Oh, and in the middle of a pandemic not a sinGLE PERSON WAS WEARING A MASK. Not the employees, not the patrons, no one. It was a little off-putting but we sat way in the back in a room that had no one else in it. I say give it a try, chances are you'll be pleasantly surprised. read more

Overall a decent place. Cleanliness average, the place is definitely showing its age and could use some upgrade. For instance flooring, seat covers, wallpapers are old and can be mistaken for being dirty. Food is average. I avoid any pasta dishes because noodles are always over cooked. Above average dishes are their turkey with dressing and roast beef. Sometimes they'll serve when meat and dressing have been sitting out a while so make sure to ask for fresh servings. Desserts are consistently good. Probably the upside to this establishment. Maybe a harsh review yet I rate a 4 of 5 stars because cafeteria style restaurants are convenient especially for the senior community and for that I am grateful this one is still around. read more

I'm giving Miss Sherri's 5 stars because I think they are doing exactly what a cafeteria wants to do. They offer a variety of food for affordable prices with a friendly, knowledgeable staff. In addition, they are doing a great job with COVID prevention! I felt very safe eating there. I can't wait to go back! By the way....CASH ONLY! Thank you Miss Sherri's for the wonderful meal! read more

My family (immediate and extended) utilized the party room tonight at Miss Sheri's for our pre-Christmas meal. The planning of the event with event planner was easy and completely stress free. Service was friendly and.courteous. Food delicious and menu choices accommodating. Great atmosphere. We closed the door and had a fun-filled time together. It was memorable. Overall WOW customer service. We are already planning for next Christmas! read more

Great food that's fresh and delicious. Nice selection of entrees, salads, vegetables and the desserts are scrumptious. Pies and cakes!!

I disagree with the reviews of Miss Sheri's Cafeteria! Yes, it is a cafeteria, hence the name. They aren't trying to hide that fact. So, yes, their clientele is older people. But what's wrong with that?? Most older people are kind, generous, quiet and decent people. So, I say, the more the merrier! Miss Sheri's is like food your grandma would make. It's not necessarily the most healthy, it may not be fancy or gourmet but it's just real, hardy food. My favorite dish is their breaded and baked pork chop with dressing. Yum!! The chop has a nice crust, seasoned fairly well, it's juicy and they don't skimp on the dressing or gravy. Miss Sheri's always has numerous options. Tonight there were several kinds of fish both baked and fried, roast beef, beef tips, chicken over rice, pork chops, and salmon patties. You have at least 10 salad options ranging from jello salad to beet salad to home made cole slaw. There are plenty of vegetables for side dishes. Love the creamed spinach and stewed tomatoes! Then comes the desserts! Home made pies of every variety! My fav- cherry crumb. You can't go wrong with that!! Some of the food is a little bland but again this business knows their customer and most seniors don't like spicy foods and a lot probably have to watch sodium... Throw a little salt and pepper on it, you're good to go! They have carry out as well but only accept cash. The decor is starting to become dated but the place is always clean and the employees very friendly. If eating at and then reviewing a cafeteria makes me old? Then that's ok by me! read more

Simple the best! This is what an old style restaurant was like before fast food drive through! Great staff, very friendly.

Absolutely love this Cafeteria... Food is already prepared, from a variety of salads and Jello salads, a great selection of entrees, Ham, Roast Beef, Pot Pies...and many others, lots of delicious vegetables to select from, and amazing desserts! Sends me back to my growing up years where there were quite a few Cafeterias, this is the last in the area and is a treasure! read more

Great experience with good quality food combinations. The staff is very friendly and helpful with any questions. A step back in time with a great experience with cafeteria food. read more

Going there almost 20 years; was satisfied w/food & service; then was robbed. Had a tab for bit less than $11. Gave cashier a twenty and a one; she gave me few cents change, but no $10 bill! Then claimed I gave her a TEN and a one. Owner(?) treated me like con man, refused to believe me. Said they would check the till next day and call me. Never called. I called & was told till balanced, so I'm a liar! Suspect cashier just pocketed $10 from till to make it balance. I'm asked to trust THEM, but they don't trust long-term customer. If you go there, watch cashier---young blonde--- like a hawk. read more

The food was decent except the pie I chose was terrible. The staff member I spoke to about the pie was argumentative and rude. When I asked for a special cut of turkey, this was declined even though other staff had happily done this before. Instead of appreciating the return of customers after Covid, this place seems hell bent on rudeness. The old clientele will die off and so will this place. read more

Well...I'm not really a cafeteria fan...I usually go to these places with my geriatric relatives, greatly disgruntled about both the food and the fact that I am eating dinner at 4:00 in the afternoon.... Miss Sheri's is just that: The place where the octagenerians among us go to get their fill of jello with fruit inside of it, dried out chicken, and small brown plastic bowls of green beans. It's not that the food is bad, it's not. It's great that you can find nearly anything you want so there's no argument about where to go for a certain type of food...and it's not that the prices are bad. Actually, it's pretty cheap for the amount of food you get (about $10 per person for dinner, drink and desert...not bad), it's just....not my thing I guess. As cafeterias go, this has to be one of the better experiences I have had...but I am not a fan and I try not to go here. However, if you are looking to please your grandma...this is the place for yo9u....most definately. read more

I love Miss Sheri's. I just wish it was closer to my house. I grew up going to Pope's Cafeteria with my parents and later took my own children to Furr's Cafeteria. Visiting Miss Sheri's brings back happy, family memories. I always get the sliced roast beef with mashed potatoes and gravy. So many sides to choose from. Top it off with a roll and a slice of their cherry pie. I think there's a senior living complex nearby. It's so much fun listening to the conversations of the older folks as they come in and the men sit at one large table with the ladies at another. Remember to bring cash. No plastic accepted. Excellent service and tasty food with lots of choices. read more

I find it extremely telling that about half the bad reviews complain that the food is too bland and about half complain that it's too salty. So...maybe these folks killed their taste buds. My grandparents and my parents loved to go here. Yes, the clientele is generally older folks. However, our family goes here because there is always going to be something that everyone likes, even the vegetarians. And we can grab a larger table in one of the rooms and if we get too rowdy, close the door. Also.....this is comfort food. Turkey, baked ham, carved roast beef, mashed potatoes with gravy..........baked fish..........soups........ If you want new, experimental or fusion dishes, you should eat elsewhere. If you want variety, good home cooking....you should try this place. And if you're used to a big family dinner with tons of different likes/dislikes & taste preferences.....they have salt/pepper......maybe just bring your hot sauce. read more

Miss Sheri's Cafeteria - I'm back !!! - American Near Me - Saint Louis, Missouri

I've passed this cafeteria many times on my way to and from Ronnie's and always meant to stop in and check it out. Went on a whim tonight when I had more than an hour before the show. The place is clean and tidy; food is presented well with a lot of variety and choices. All staff were friendly and welcoming. I love "grandma food" -- steamed veggies, baked or fried meats, gravy, etc. And they have this in spades. My only complaint is that everything was bland, but maybe I'm expecting too much? It is what it is - cafeteria food. Prices are reasonable and potions were adequate. Meat, two veg, chocolate cake and iced tea for $10 and change. I didn't dislike it, but neither do I recommend it, and it wasn't good enough for a second visit read more

I went to this Miss Sheri's Cafeteria not sure what to expect with it because I had gone to the one on Manchester Road more times that I could tell. It's much smaller that the other location and it's nice on the inside. The entrance and walkway is on the opposite side of the other location so I was confused a little about it when I walked into it. The dining room area is divided into smaller little sections separated by walls with windows and doorways through to those little sections. It's a nice set up for when you want to be a little closed off from other people. I had certain expectations about this location based on what I experienced at the other location, and they are pretty similar to each other. So that, in a way, I supposed is good. The food was exactly the same. Whatever the Manchester location has, this location has that, too. The food looked the same and it tasted the same. If you like cafeteria type food, this is it. If you don't like cafeteria type food, this isn't it for you. I liked it. I'll be back. read more
