Amsterdam Cafe

Amsterdam Cafe's last day is Friday, August 16, 2024. :-(Check their Facebook for details.

This place is incredible. We have visited twice on Fried Chicken night. The chicken is fresh, hot and delicious. The sides are equally as good. The service is absolute perfection. Everyone is so nice, friendly and helpful. Meal, beverage and drink for $20. Wow!

This small town has a charming diner with friendly staff and a great chef! Their selection of breakfast, lunch and dinner meals are better than average. The food tastes as though it was made with love, and the pies are off the charts! There is plenty of seating for any size family, bathrooms are clean, and nicely decorated with historic photographs.Stop in for traditional southern flavor foods!

Great country foodGood eatsNice country town atmosphere with some really cool historic photos and antiques on display.

Amsterdam MO is the primary example of a town that almost became a ghost town, but is now coming back to life in a big way. Over the past three years, a private citizen's desire to attract people and business to the tiny town about 40 minutes south of Kansas City has paid off in a huge way. People who take a day trip to Amsterdam can shop at a number of awesome little boutique shops and then grab some amazing comfort food at the Amsterdam Cafe. Like most small town cafes, the menu is diverse and you can get anything from a burger, chicken fried steak, or even great salads. The fried chicken is by far the go to entree and the flavor and juiciness is about as good as you can get when it comes to Midwest fried chicken. If you're looking for a day trip excursion from the Kansas City metro area, head down south and check out the tiny little historic town of Amsterdam MO.

As an "Amsterdammer" myself, I had to check this place out. Due to hot weather conditions and airconditioning problems at the cafe, it closed early. My wife and I still wanted to see Amsterdam on our way to Kansas City, so we stopped by and walked into the Farm Store. Two people sat there talking, one of them was the owner of the cafe. After a chat and introductions, Randy (the cafe owner) offered us the use of the restrooms and even offered to make some food. Wow, what hospitality!! You surely don't find that in the big city! We ended up getting a deep fried pork loin sandwich with curly fries and we thoroughly enjoyed every bite of that. Randy offered us the meal on him...again...WOW! So, we left a nice tip and purchased a mug which I will give to my mother who's actually the true "Amsterdammer" in our family. In any case, I highly recommend a visit to the town and especially to the cafe, where the food is tasty and the portions are huge.

This cafe is my absolute favorite place for traditional down home cooking! The portions are huge!!! All 5 of us took home at least half of our meals to have for leftovers. I forgot to take pictures of their homemade pies, cheese cake and cinnamon rolls that we got to take home, they were AMAZING!!! Not only does the food taste great, but it all is homemade, even the desserts! The staff are friendly and treat everyone like family! Thank you Nana Jo and staff for the great meal and experience! Wish we lived closer so we could go more often, but this has been added to our must stop at list for when we are back in the area!

Great small town atmosphere super clean and good food. Had the fish and it was excellent.

Our group had the Wednesday chicken special, tenderloin sandwich, chicken fried steak and chicken fried chicken. All were great. Good selections for sides. My iced tea was refilled twice. Several got slices of delicious pie to go. Can't wait to go back!

Ate there on a recent Thursday night - chicken night. Chicken was great and the pecan pie was awesome!
