Hungry Mule Cafe

Awesome restaurant! Spent about a week in the area and went here every day. The food is really cheap and really good! For the most part we had really good service as well. I will absolutely go out of my way to come back here.

We stopped here for lunch on a Sunday while on a road trip and it was fantastic! We got the "special" which included 2 small pork chop tenderloins, REAL mashed potatoes, mushroom gravy, a veggie, and salad ALL FOR $6! The fried mushrooms were so good. The ranch was super fresh. So many pluses. The only down side was they still allowed smoking in the building. We wish we lived closer so we could frequent The Hungry Mule or order takeout!

Great staff great food leave the hungry mule as a stuffed mule! Reasonably priced menu is a nice touch. All day breakfast is available.

Love this place. People are friendly and the place is super homey. The food was great and super cheap so it makes it even better. So if you are ever in Lathrop MO do t miss out. Also don't pass up their tenderloin sandwich.

I had the hot turkey sandwich. Not a lot of meat but it was good. Did not know you can still smoke in an restaurant in the USA. Good food but it smells like smoke.

I was optimistic about this place. I ate here on three separate occasions. All three times I just wanted to get biscuits and gravy. First two times they were "out", yet serve breakfast all day. The third time I went they had biscuits and gravy so I ordered eggs and bacon with biscuits and gravy. The eggs and bacon arrived, but no biscuits and gravy. Their food was decent and the service was great.

Great service from the waitresses and great burgers and onion rings if your in Lathrop you should check out the hungry mule cafe great atmosphere

Good hometown vibe, busy place, great prices, 1/2 of the restaurant is non-smoking...definitely worth a stop!

Several co-workers and I stopped by here on the way back to Kansas City and I'm glad we did. The waitress (I forgot her name) was very nice, she even brought us a pitcher of soda since several of us ordered the same kind. We all shared a couple of the combo appetizers and most of us had the tenderloin dinners. All of them were very good. The waitress made sure none of our drinks went empty. Will suggest this place and will definitely return when we pass through Lathrop or working at a job site close by.

Tonight's meal was awful! My daughter and I ordered simple meals: grilled cheese/french fries and a 1/4lb cheeseburger/french fries and two salads. The lettuce was stale-tasting and the majority of the french fries were not completely cooked. Overall... the meal was bad. As well, I asked for a piece of chocolate cake to go and she brought back a piece of pie.... Very disappointing tonight.
