Country Skillet Cafe — Restaurant in Bourbon

We waited outside with our 3 year old grandson for 20 minutes in 97 degree heat. I guess that’s on us. When we finally got called in the table wasn’t clean so we waited another few minutes for this. Our waitress was very busy with a large group and motioned to us 3 times that she would be right there. This was another 15 minutes before she came to take a drink order. We gave her our complete order because we were now going on 40 minutes and our 3 year old grandson was holding on but we didn’t know for how long. After we asked, one of the servers brought him 4 crackers. We did get our drinks but after another 20 minutes and no food in site we decided we better just leave. We got there at 1:08pm and left at 2:15pm without eating. When I went up to pay for our drinks the staff was shocked that we were leaving and made a big deal about our order was now coming up and that some of it was already on the counter. We still had a long drive ahead of us. After I paid for the drinks with a credit card they gave me cash back to cover the drinks. They were very apologetic while explaining about two large groups that came in before us and how this caused our order to have to wait. They closed at 2:00pm. It was a Sunday. I’m sure folks were looking forward to going home. Just a lot of things lined up to make this an unfortunate experience for us. I was sitting where I could see the kitchen and I noticed the waitresses frequently looking to see if one of their orders was up and then moving on to do something else when it wasn’t. I saw somebody’s order sit under the lamp for over 10 minutes before it was taken with other food to a table. I guess the two big groups and maybe a complicated mix of orders made the kitchen run slow. The cook appeared to work at one speed (kind of slow) no matter how big the rush of customers was. I could be wrong but that’s what it looked like to me. Hope you have a...

This restaurant is a hidden gem off of HWY 44 in Bourbon MO. It’s decorated beautifully inside, warm and inviting. There are a lot of fun things to look at on the walls and the place is as neat as a pin, even the bathroom is perfectly tidy. I especially liked looking at the old records on the walls. I liked the wooden tables. Feels like you’re sitting at a good friend’s home. The atmosphere feels comfortable and familiar. When you arrive, you are immediately seated and promptly waited on with a smile. The portions are huge, yet the prices are affordable. You get so much food! Literally the hashbrown order is enough for two people. Everything I have tried has been amazing, lunch or breakfast items. I have had fish, cheeseburgers, biscuits/gravy, hashbrowns, btl, fries, french toast, meatloaf..the list goes on, and all of it was absolutely amazing. Once people start to really figure out where this place is, I think they will need to expand!...
