Granny's cafe — Restaurant in Bland

Very friendly place, no waiting, great portions and DELICIOUS!! Tried the Hungry Wolf Omelette, loaded with ham, bacon and sausage and covered in melted cheese which I then covered in a delicious two pack of their House Salsa, excellent salsa as well! Hash Browns, wheat toast buttered with four choices of jellies, Orange Marmalade, Apple Butter, Strawberry and Grape. All were delightful! I practically locked my plate clean! LOL. That's how good it was! I didn't even leave a crumb. They serve coffee, soda and teas, with no charge refills, very rare nowadays in restaurants, especially the big chain ones like Den___'s, you know which ones I'm talking about! That's why I prefer the owner owned & operated cafes, diners and family restaurants! You get better food, larger portions, better prices AND WAY better service in the mom & pop places. I think the corporate chains are slowly choking out the clientele with higher prices every THREE MONTHS, shrinking their portions and removing endless refills! I don't think you get a refill without paying for it in ANY of the chain restaurants nowadays! Support local business and support the mom & pop places. I've never had bad luck sticking to that rule! If you're not sure where to eat in a strange town, try and look for the Ambulance, fire trucks and police cars. THEY don't get paid enough, work hard and have to usually rush their meals to help us, the public! So if they are eating there, you know the portions, price AND service is one of the best in THAT town!! And if you can afford it, pick up the tab for their meal once in awhile, you never know when you just might NEED their help! Be it someone breaking into your home, your place is on fire, the few minutes you have when your heart stops or terrible auto accident! And please remember that your waitress gets what, $3.75/hr because she gets tips? She could work at the big fast food chains now with their mandatory $15/hr. and make more! But here she stays with her excellent customer service and never letting your cup go dry before, during or after your meal while juggling how many other tables and all those customers at each table? I ALWAYS tip remembering ALL of that when I get the check. And even when I don't get the check I make SURE to leave extra cash on the table if my friends have forgotten to leave a good tip. I try to make it easy on my poor math skills by doing a third of the bill in cash for the hard working waitresses out there. Some are even trying to make it as a single parent! So they certainly could use a good tip! My buddy had the Guacamole Burger, all the fixings and fries. He said the meal was outstanding, best he ever had, proportions were just right and he never saw the bottom of his coffee cup, she was that efficient! Five Stars in my book! I'll definitely be back as I do business now and then in Bland, Missouri and I'm anxious to try the Big Papa Mushroom Burger! There are several others but I struggled with my choice of those two before ordering as we landed there right in the Brunch window. Not that it mattered because Granny's serves breakfast till 2 pm!! That's right, you can sleep in and still get breakfast even when everyone else is eating lunch! And they're so nice and friendly there I don't think they'd mind if you rolled out of bed, got in your car and came in your onesy...

I would give you no stars.if i could. Called ahead and they told my dad they do have chocolate gravy then we get there and they aren't even serving breakfast cause its Sunday which should have been mentioned over the phone when talking about it for one, for two when i order bread pudding heated up i expect it heated up not hot on the edges and cold as ice in the middle. To lie about menus items which is says on line you have it and to be rude to my father when we get there is ridiculous. I will never come back. They took my dad and step moms order and then came.back and said oh that will be 20 minutes cause we are cleaning the grill... If we sat her 10 minutes waiting for them to take our order then why couldn't you make breakfast if it hadn't been cleaned it. Makes no sense. Bread pudding wasn't too bad at least. Also add something other than chicken and burgers...

My father in law called ahead to make sure that they were open, serving breakfast, and if they had chocolate gravy. He was told yes to all three questions. We drove right over. We walked in at 10:30 and we're told that they were no longer serving breakfast and that even if they were, they don't have chocolate gravy. Then we had to order lunch and watch every other person in the restaurant get served breakfast. We were also told it would take a bit to get the burgers done because they had to change over from breakfast. I wouldn't eat here again if they paid...
