We have ate here twice traveling from KC to Jefferson City. Decided to give it a try based on reviews. We weren't disappointed! The hamburgers are very good with homemade paddies fresh off the grill! Just the right amount of grease to taste delicious but not feel sick afterward. There is more on the menu and there was a salad bar the first time we visited. Will definitely be back!

Food was excellent. Cake your tail feather for me. Swine o Mite for hubby and Apollo for Penny for sis in law. Lots of food. Cudos to the cook! Service was outstanding! Jade had her eye on it and she'll keep her eye out for you. She's very helpful and energetic. Top notch! Can't forget Boss Man Darrell. Runs a great ship. Highly recommend this place. We will be back to try breakfast.

Stopped in today and the food was delicious. I ordered the burger-it's a 1/2 pound btw-and it was super delicious. I recommend it. It's definitely some good grandmas style cooking.

What a perfect spot for breakfast! We were working our way (slowly) back home to KC from St. Charles after bicycling the Katy trail and needed a spot for breakfast. We happened across this divey-looking local eatery and decided to stop. The food and service were both excellent and we met the owner who quickly identified us as non-locals. What a hoot! Prices reflect its small town pedigree, too!

Friendliest cafe you'll find anywhere with home cooked food. This is only the 2nd time here as we don't often drive by but we love breakfast here. If you're looking for good food that's reasonably price with a friendly atmosphere, give them a try

If I could give it 6 stars I would. Really good grilled chicken sandwich, ribbon fries and the customer service was exceptionally good. The name fits the restaurant to a tee, exactly what a home town cafe should be. Second trip was just as good.

Fantastic, tasty food, with a wide variety of menu items for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They have several specials during the week. The staff and management are very friendly and attentive. Hours very from week days to weekends. Check out the hours for a buffet (one is on Sunday morning for breakfast, and lunch), and ask about the Huge Cinnamon Rolls! My fiancé and I were both very happy with the setting, food, and very positive, delicious experience. I highly recommend Hometown Cafe

The food was terrible. We waited for about an hour and never got the chance to order. So we decided to just eat the buffet. For $40 the food was just not worth it.

We regularly pass this place on our way to the Lake of Ozarks and decided to try it out for Sunday breakfast on our way home. It was around 10am and the restaurant was about half full. They have a breakfast buffet option, which appeared to be the choice of most of the people when we arrived. We ordered off the menu, a couple omelets, French toast and hash browns. We noted that at least a dozen tables were turned while we waiting all eating the buffet. After 45min of waiting for our order the server said ours was next up. We ended up waiting just short of an hour for our food and they forgot part of the order. The food was ok and the server was nice, but the long wait was not worth it. We won't be stopping here again. The kitchen clearly didn't balance filling orders and keeping the buffet full very well.
