Lewis Cafe

Lewis Cafe was an unplanned stop on our way back to St. Louis from the caverns, and it turned out to be a hidden gem. It’s clearly loved by the locals, but as visitors, we found it absolutely worth the visit. The food was delicious, the prices were very reasonable, and the service was excellent. A charming spot we’re glad we discovered.

First time in Lewis Cafe! I will return! I had a very tasty cheeseburger and fries. The bun had a nice grill on it as well. The fries as a side were good. I was gifted two onion rings and could have eaten a whole plate of those. Very well done. My only critique in the negative was that they were out of pickles! Our waitress Sue was a real sweetie!

Rarely do you find this kind of quality and quantity at such a fair price point. The flavors are fantastic and the portions are generous. Highly recommended!

We ordered one breakfast plate, one open roast beef plate and one Rueben special. They said the roast beef and breakfast plates were good. The Rueben was one up from the worst one I’ve ever had in my life…it tasted like what old, stinky feet smell like. I couldn’t hardly get half down but I didn’t want to offend my company. I absolutely do not recommend the Rueben. They have a very limited menu as well. We won’t likely revisit because $50 plus dollars for what we got isn’t acceptable. Service was good although we was the only people there so not busy at all. Atmosphere was good bc it was nice and quiet, lol. I’ve been there years ago and had a much better opinion, sorry I couldn’t rate it higher but I try to be fair. Do not recommend.

Great choice for breakfast. Excellent service. Tasty food. Inexpensive. Convenient from the highway, but not "on" the highway. Cute little town.
