This one was light and sweet. If you are vegetarian they have black been burger and portobello mushroom burgers. The fries were fries in beef tallow and it tasted like bacon.

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!

Also included were dinner rolls and biscuits. All or $6.25! They had pie at a $1.50 a slice, sadly I had no room for pie. A friend had the Coconut Creme pie and I had a taste. It was great!

We both had pizza for Pizza Day, then a really big cinnamon roll for desert. We had the Mediterranean and Bavarian pizzas. We'd never had a pizza with hot dog, kraut, and mustard, and it was very good. The Mediterranean had chicken, lots of veggies, and olive spread. Both were on pitas. You order at the counter, then someone brings your food to your table. The staff is very friendly. It's located in an old mill, so the decor is pretty casual and rural. We'll come back and sample other choices. They have a very big menu.

We sat outside and the view of the vineyard was beautiful and so relaxing. The decor is really modern and chic which added to the whole vibe. It felt classy but still comfortable.

Overall this place is a total win. Perfect for a laid back afternoon with great wine and even better views. Can't wait to go back.

Another Highway 44 adventure. This restaurant is located off Highway 44 in St. James, MO…read more I was pleasantly surprised by my experience here. The building is set back off the road a little ways sitting stately on top of a hill. The property is absolutely gorgeous. The parking lot a little dicey. Most of the patrons park to the right of the building on gravel. There are a few paved handicap parking spots in front of the building. Inside the building, the dining room and bar area are massive, accommodating a large number of guests. The decor is relatively clean and simple. I was seated at a cozy table and waited for my server. Nicole provided exceptional service. She was knowledgeable and attentive making my experience all the more enjoyable. I started my evening with a seasonal cocktail from the extensive drink menu. I always check out a menu prior to any dining experience. I knew the whipped feta dip and marinated olives were an absolute must. The cheese is sourced from a local Missouri farm. As are a large number of items served in the restaurant. I prefer to support local and small businesses when I can. This gave me an opportunity to support several all at one. The olives were a mix of black and green served warm with roasted garlic. I have never had olives served warm and will insist on it from now on. The flavors were phenomenal. The dish was generously portioned and enough to share with a small group. Or just for yourself like I did. I really couldn't choose between the entrees. Looking around at other patron's meals, I knew I wouldn't be disappointed with anything on the menu. I opted for a Cesar salad with grilled shrimp. I can't think of a time in recent memory when I've had a salad this good. Crisp romaine lettuce, fried capers, fresh breadcrumbs, and a luxurious dressing. (The salad is served with red onions which I very politely set aside as I do not enjoy raw onions.) The shrimp were the perfect combination juicy and flavorful. I finished the entire thing. I would have been remiss to not try a glass or two of wine during my visit. I decided a glass of rose' would be a good note to end my meal on. The wine is amazing, bright and crisp with notes of citrus. I picked up a couple of bottles to take home. I'm looking forward to sharing this find with my friends. I ordered a piece of the bread pudding to go. This was delicious and was a perfect treat later in my evening. I had a very enjoyable experience. The service was excellent and friendly. The food delicious from start to finish. The wine and cocktails paired well with the menu offerings. The cozy atmosphere made this a perfect evening.

It was such a good experience that I made it our first mandatory stop on our Route 66 trip to Kingman, Arizona. Patrick was not there, but our hostess, Tammi, just made it an absolutely wonderful experience again. While my mate had a dinner salad, they had an excellent vinaigrette dressing, I had the chicken kebab over a bed of rice. To my surprise what I assumed would be a light meal for $8.95, was the bed of rice and it all meat kebab with a side salad with that same wonderful vinaigrette, flatbread and really really good seasoned rice.
