My husband and I met some family here while we were in town and were blown away. It's an old fashioned diner but way more updated and VERY clean. Not a layer of grease on every wall and table which is awesome. Service was fantastic the whole morning. Portions were huge. Everything tasted fresh. So freaking good! If we were local, this would be our weekend spot. read more

The food was excellent, the salad was fresh and had good flavor. The tenderloin was as advertised. It was a large portion and well seasoned. The tots had the right amount of crunch, most places they are under cooked. The mushroom swiss burger had a good balance and flavor. The carrot cake was moist amd deliciousl. The service was great and had good suggestions. She was attentive without being overhearing. Thia is great local diner and definitely worth the stop. read more

Awesome French Dip. Wife had the mushroom appetizer which she liked. Prices very respectable. Ambiance was 'OK' (small town diner chic). Service was excellent (thank you April). read more

We needed a quick lunch place to eat lunch while road tripping across Missouri. The ambiance is definitely cozy diner (it was a bit chilly, bring a sweater). The service was prompt and friendly. The food was delicious and exactly what we were looking for. My husband said the Rueben was good and my grandson loved his burger and fries. My burger was also delicious! Incidentally the kids burger was the same size as the regular burger and the kids meal included fries (or tots) and a drink...a great value. We'd definitely stop again. read more

The food was out standing. I haven't been to real Dinner in over 50 years. Everything you could possible want, made by mom. My son had the omelet and most of the breakfast offerings. Loved it all. I had liver and onions. That were so so good. We got brain sandwiches to go. Along with burgers and french fries and fried mushrooms . Looking forward to Monday for the fried Chicken. I make this trip twice a month from St. Louis to KC for family. I never miss hitting the 87 dinner. They offer a large sitting area 20 + tables read more

What an awesome place!! Food- great! Service- excellent! Ambience- small town diner and very nice!! Not super cheap but good for the price!! read more

Ate here because a local said it is a great local eatery and served breakfast all day. Restaurant was large. We were sat next to the unusable door with a rolling cart that is placed in front of it and observed the cart was in great need of dusting (gross). We chose a hamburger with bacon/cheese, and the Ruben. The hamburger was dry and overcooked and I observed my hubby choke on his bite of hamburger. I then suggested we eat my Ruben instead, so we applied the dressing, which was delivered to us on the side, to the sandwich and tried to ignore the very soggy bottom piece of bread. We did not enjoy the fries or onion rings. They were not flavorful and no salt was going to help. We went on to try to enjoy the soup of the day, baked potato soup, but the texture and the outright flavorless soup was in great need of crackers and pepper. We were disappointed and felt we just wasted a lot of money as we left a good portion of our lunch for the trash. Maybe we should have gone with eating breakfast instead as they serve it all day. Service was great at first. Then we didn't get water refilled and no check up if we needed anything. Waited. Waited. And when the server finally reappeared we were told to go directly to the register to pay. read more

I'm not one who eats out often because I find there aren't many places that have really good food when I can cook at home, in a clean environment and it taste better. (Hence the time frames) With that said, I've ate here a few times. Here's what I experienced: 2021- I ate here for the 1st time with co-workers for Boss's day. The food was really good, the staff was nice, waitresses were attentive, and bathroom was clean. 2023 - Remembering my experience with my coworkers, I ordered breakfast for pickup. The House Skillet literally had no seasoning and not much taste. It ended up in the garbage. The pancakes were mediocre. 2025 - I decided to give this diner another try, thinking the last time may have been a fluke. Nope. The House Skillet literally did not have a speck of seasoning on it. (I looked for it!) My food tasted greasy. I ordered my eggs over medium - the yolk was hard cooked. The bacon was 80% fat. The sausage was very greasy. I smashed it up, squeezed out the grease and added it to my biscuit and gravy, which was the better tasting item of my order. Once again the rest of my order ended up in the garbage. My two biscuits and gravy (what they call a half order) was the same price as a whole order. Oh - and the girl who rang up my order and took my payment, stared up at the TV on the wall behind the register the entire time. I had asked her what flavors of pies did they have today as I looked at the pie case. (her opportunity to up-sale) She never said one word to me. Extremely poor customer service. read more

This place is off the major highway 70 near Boonville Missouri. The breakfast was average. I had the skillet but was not in a skillet nor where the vegetable cooked through, they were crunchy. I asked for hash browns to be well done but they were not. The service was excellent! read more

Having a hard time giving this place a review only because I think it might bring attention to this gem. Prices....+, food...+ and staff great.....shsssssss don't tell anyone read more

Great breakfast with a wonderful staff. Nice family environment. We will be returning.

Amazing food, fabulous service. Really good portions. My wish is for them to be open more hours.

Stopped in on our way from KC to St. Louis for lunch - saw that the parking lot had quite a few people even as we drove up the ramp. That is always a good sign. Seeing the homemade pies under the glass at the counter made my wife smile but she ended up too full to have one without a guilty conscience. She had the grilled catfish and was pleasantly surprised by the mild flavor and good preparation. Baked potato and salad with blue cheese also great. According to my uncle "the corned beef hash tasted as expected and had a generous amount of fixins. My meal was the Cinnamon French Toast combo. The bacon had a nice smoked flavor and was crispy. The Cinnamon French toast was great as well. read more

This diner is in my opinion the best one for breakfast in Missouri. The food, service and prices can't be beat. If you're in the Boonville area, it's right off I-70 read more

WOW, what a great diner. The place was clean, the service was prompt and the food was great. Stoped on trip from Topeka to Buffalo. I had country fried steak & eggs and my wife had a ribeye steak sandwich. Both entrees were delicious. The home made coconut cream pie was fabulous. read more

We all know what good diner food should be like and 87 diner delivers. Our last meal there with another couple included chicken fried steak with mashed potatoes and white gravy (4 stars), a dinner salad (3 stars), fried pork tenderloin sandwich (HUGE) with tater tots (4 star) and a fried catfish dinner with a baked potato (4 star) Breakfast is available all day too! Cash, debit or credit card read more

Not bad. Friendly waitress. Do not recommend the hot roast beef sandwich, but others around us had the fried cutlet sandwich special and it looked pretty good. read more

SMOKING!!! We walked in and this place smelled absolutely gross and like cigarettes! What year is this?! There was absolutely no way we were going to stay and eat there and then leave there smelling like the cigs so we never got to try the food. Seriously disgusting! RUN AWAY! read more

First off this is my first review of the new 87 diner. I ate once several months ago and recently. I will say was not impressed the first time. This time around and the time after the food has been night and day! Very good and now plan on going here routinely to eat. I don't know what happened but the change is great definitely recommend. read more

Looking for a throw back and old school diner? This is it! Remember: this is diner food, so expect just that. It did loose a star rating because of the steak fries. The diners I was with said the fries were very bland and tasteless. However, the party melt on rye was a major knock out, fried okra for the win, and I recommend the 1/2 serving of the roast beef (piled and tender on a bed of mash potatoes and a slice of bread and drowned in gravy---yum yum). Bacon double cheeseburger was juicy and thick. The fish was also a favorite at my table. Tender and delicious. The chicken strips seem like the kinda you can snag at a ball game, though. However, I don't think a lot of it was homemade. Regardless, not a bad place. And, doesn't seem like a big deal to some----they do have a smoking section (I'm a smoker but, I have children----I try my best to avoid them exposure). The staff were nice and friendly. The bathrooms have two toilets and with a partial wall keeping them separated. read more

Fantastic food and staff, big portions of food. Very clean and easy to get to, prices were reasonable.

This restaurant us built in a pole barn just off the freeway. Inside is clean, open and fun! The wait staff are friendly and prompt. The side salad was very fresh. The catfish nuggets were deep fried to perfection. A great lunch stop! read more

87 Diner is a solid diner located just off Highway 70 outside of Boonville. I recently stopped in for lunch on my way to Kansas City and was actually quite surprised with the food. The 87 Diner is located just off Highway 70 & 87 in a basic no frills building. Once inside I quickly discovered that there was a Smoking and Non-Smoking section, only divided by a small wall. However I have to admit that I really didn't notice any smoke smell while seated in the non-smoking section. Service here was fast and friendly, after placing our order the food arrived no more than 10 minutes later. I went with the Open Face Roast Beef Sandwich, which was served with mashed potatoes, roast beef and smothered in gravy. It was quite delicious and the gravy wasn't overly salty, it seemed just right. Another entrée ordered was the Chicken Fried Steak which I heard was equally as tasty, I might have to give that a try next time I am in the area. The menu itself was large, and you could even order breakfast all day. Prices were very reasonable too. Overall this was a solid choice and I can say that I will return on my next visit through Boonville. read more

Talk about an old school diner with some great food. We went here on a Saturday for some breakfast. The diner was packed but we were able to find a seat in the non-smoking section. The diner is very colorful and has several unique wreaths and decorations hanging all over. Their menu is extremely colorful and offers some very unique dishes as well as the down home food that you would expect. When we went we all got "the mess". Which is biscuits, eggs, and sausage all covered in gravy. This is quite a breakfast. The flavor is extremely good and for the price it is an unbelievable deal. They have extremely courteous wait staff that are checking on you at the right times during your dining experience. The prices are extremely fair for what you get as well. Also for such a small diner they do have some very good coffee. The only thing for me that is holding this back from a 5 star review is that they still have a smoking section. I am sure with the crowd and politics that are present in the area they have to maintain a smoking section but it isn't as necessary anymore. Once the smoking section goes away it will be 5 stars across the board for me. read more

Incredible pancakes, thick and tasty! BLT was filling and made with fresh ingredients. The Bacon was tasty and cooked perfectly went well with the rest of the sandwich. Service was outstanding! Will definitely keep this on my list of places to stop. read more

Absolutely stopping here again! We love to support local places, and we will make this a stop on future trips when timing works out. The ownership changed about 1 year ago and moved into a new building. Food was excellent and service was great. Restaurant was very clean and well maintained. Highly recommend the French toast with their homemade cinnamon bread. Eggs over medium was cooked perfectly and the applewood smoked bacon was perfection. You could taste the smoke in the bacon. There were 4 of us. Others had fried shrimp, Strawberry Chicken Salad and BLT. All good was fresh and tasty. read more

We stopped on the way home and everything was amazing! The staff is very friendly and we have enough food left over for 2 more breakfasts! We will definitely be back next time we are close to Boonville! read more

These folks know country cooking! The menu is fairly extensive and includes all of the usual diner favorites. Husband ordered "The Mess" - eggs, hasbrowns, your choice of ham / bacon / sausage, served over biscuits and smothered in gravy. He inhaled it with gusto. I had eggs scrambled with cheese, a breaded pork tenderloin, and substituted a biscuit with gravy in place of toast (99 cent up charge). Everything was fresh and homemade, even the tenderloin was hand breaded. It was delicious! The prices were very fair. The staff were friendly and attentive. As noted, the diner is in an industrial style metal building, but inside it's clean with lots of cheery decorations. We will be back, for certain. read more

This place is a diner, pure and simple. But, oh, the food is awesome diner food. My husband and I both had the Open Faced Roast Beef. I had the half portion and it was plenty of food. Roast beef was nicely shredded and the gravy was rich but not salty. I managed to stop and leave room for dessert. The dessert board is full of choices and the menu says they will have whatever the cook feels like making. I had the peach cobbler with ice cream and it was wonderful! My husband had the lemon meringue pie which I did not get a bite of to my disappointment. The ambiance was diner, industrial diner if you want. The clientele were mostly locals. They know where to eat when they go out. A little tough to find. Drive down the road beside the gas station. You will not be sorry you did. read more

Could've been a 4 star...however, ordered the 10oz breakfast ribeye medium rare. The middle if the steak was cooked properly but the edges were rare...like not even warmed up rare. Brought this to the managers attention and she stated that was because the weight they put on the steak is too small for the 10oz steak. So...you know you have this problem, but fail to address it.... Other than that, service was great, eggs, bacon, hashbrowns were tasty.... read more
