Paula's Cafe

Have visited here several times, and have always been very happy with everything. The service (I usually call in to-go order) is always friendly, and prompt. And the food is always amazing, with portions to spare. The tenderloin is my go to, and is massive, yet full of flavor. I have tried several different side dishes, and all have been above average. They have daily specials (you can check Facebook) and again I have never been upset that I ordered one. The only "negative" is that they don't accept credit or debit cards, so make sure you have cash.

Had to try their breakfast! I ordered potatoes and onions with a side of sausage patties. My husband ordered biscuits and gravy with two eggs over easy and sausage patties. Our waitress was very friendly. She got us everything we needed. It's always a friendly place, community type seating. Always met with a smile. The food was pretty good, my husband is just likes it a little spicier. Portions are huge. We will definitely be going back to try more things on the menu!!

I love the cafe style seating, with the table pushed up right next to your neighbor. The service is swift with coffee and water within a couple minutes of sitting down. I ordered the classic breakfast, eggs over-medium, sausage, gravy, crispy potato rounds, and a biscuit. The portions are huge. Come hungry! The front tables will be packed with the locals.

I called ahead and ordered food after reading their writeups and weren't scheduled to arrive till 2:08pm (they close at 2pm). As luck would have it we missed the turn off and turned around 10mi past their exit. I'm glad we did! Craig, MO is a quaint little town and the food at Paula's is abundant and delicious. The meat on the cheesesteak was tender, lean, and seasoned just right. It was smothered w/ peppers and onions and absolutely filled the to-go container. Instead of a roll they used two hamburger buns which was perfect to share w/ the hubbie. We were so hungry we ripped into it b4 I thought to take a pic! The sides were decent and abundant. And the blackberry pie had the right amount of tartness (not over sugared) w/ a perfectly flaky crust. We WILL be back.

Everyone that works there was very nice and friendly. Very large portions and you can take some home for another serving. My husband really likes the chicken salad, while I like the special of the day. The roast beef was seasoned just right. I do want to try breakfast next time.

Beautiful Crispy Fried Chicken with just the right amount of seasonings and fixins was the special for today. My kids are very picky eaters and even they loved it!Service was Perfect, only to be surpassed by the quality of the food!Topped it off with homemade, yes homemade chocolate pie!If passing through, don't let the City's Post Flood/ apocalyptic decor scare you! This restaurant was packed and seating was scarce at lunch time. We saw 3 cops and 2 EMT eating here along with all the local farmers, so you know it's good!I have heard the pork tenderloin's are bigger than your head and the breakfast menu is on point!Don't miss out on a great meal!

Just be aware on ordering- LARGE portions-great okra- all the food we ordered! Small town old fashion decor, tables are 8'. Worth the stop!

Good home cooking...operations almost too huge, and great prices....Very casual, with a homey vibe..

Paula's Cafe is, hands down, the best thing Craig, MO has going for it. The tenderloin is worth writing home about. We split it four ways and hand leftovers!

Nice lunch at Paula's today. It was our first time eating here, and good it was a good that we were hungry, because the servings were monstrous. Everything we had was good and priced well, so I would definitely recommend. The place filled up quickly, so it must be a popular joint. Looking forward to coming back.
