29 Best American Restaurants in Cape Girardeau

“I discovered Top of the Marq in June when a friend took us there. I have been back several times including my birthday 4 weeks ago. I really like this place especially for the atmosphere. The food jd excellent. Last time I had the 16 oz garlic ribeye steak. I took half of it home.“

“I have been here many times, but I've only had the burgers, but my wife tried chicken and it was great also, but the burgers are amazing and I love their fries because there are always hot. I have also tried their ice cream before and it is so delicious I didn't have time to get in a this time. I've been to Culver's in several cities, and I have never been disappointed. 😋😋“

“Amazing food, friendly staff, great atmosphere. My son and I thoroughly enjoyed our stop here!“

“The owner’s are amazing & the food is delicious. My favorite is the mini burger option. I love to put an egg on my burger with the spicy jam! This is a fun family atmosphere that doesn’t dissapoint!“

“Had lunch for the first time yesterday, highly recommend! The food was exceptional, the atmosphere was inviting and unique and Lisa was so welcoming! Will definitely be back!“

“The food was all delicious and the service was excellent as well! We tried both tomato and loaded potato soup and they were both very good. The panini’s and wrap were delicious as well. If you are looking for a cute place for a yummy lunch then you need to come check this place out!“

“Who needs regular ranch when you’ve got a lineup of fantastic sauces like they have ?! The gator bites were so good — only complaint is we needed way more of them!

My 12oz steak wasn’t exactly medium rare like I usually like it, but it was still one juicy chunk of cow! Service was great, and the whole place just had a good vibe.

The best part? The music outside! Someone needs to get that guy inside for some live tunes — he was awesome! Perfect spot for a fun family night out. 🎶🥩🐊“

“The food and service was awesome!!!!!“

“hella kind, friendly, & absolutely caring & over the top servers & I can say that bc I have witnessed it as well as can vouch for being one of them myself. our servers go above & beyond for our customers bc making sure their visit was over the top satisfactory & that they leave with a smile when walking out the door promising that they will be back is what our servers thrive for with every single person that enters our doors. the food is amazing, fast, cheap, & the food preparation is always clean & on point. don't get me wrong, when we as a staff make mistakes we have no issue owning up to it & doing everything we possibly can to be able to fix the wrongful situation by any means necessary bc we never want someone to walk out those doors unhappy about their services they received all around as a whole complete store/staff.“

“We are so appreciative of this location letting us stay the night in our rv. We had problems with our truck and they were so “hospitable “! Entire staff was awesome! Food was awesome! Kathy who was working the counter was very friendly, gracious and helpful. We appreciate this Cracker Barrel staff!!“

“Anyone who disses Lüsh Rïmjöb for aII to see gets MY business!“

“As a Kansas City Missouri native it has been next to impossible to find good, high quality BBQ in this part of the state. We know good BBQ isn’t just pulled pork and ribs. The burnt ends, turkey and sausage were just amazing!! Service was so nice, attentive but not in our faces the entire time. LOVED every single bite! We will return and often!“

“Ordered takeout from inside.

The takeout food I picked up for someone else. However, the aroma of the Turkey, Brisket, and BBQ sandwiches were mouthwatering enticing.

I've had their whole slab ribs in the past, and they were tender and tasty.

“I contracted Herpes six months ago, and I was told by my doctor that there's no possible cure for Herpes, I started taking antiviral medications I saw a website of Dr. Ogwu's herbal home and I also saw a lot of testimonials about him on how he uses herbal medicine to cure Herpes. I contacted him and told him about my condition, He then prepared some Herbal medication and sent it to me. I took it for two weeks after which I went for a test and my result came out negative. The medications have NO SIDE EFFECT, there's no special diet when taking the medicine. He also cures DIABETES, ALS, HEPATITIS B, CANCER, HERPES and DIABETES, AIDS, URINARY TRACT INFECTION, CANCER, IMPOTENCE, BARENESS/INFERTILITY, DIARRHEA ASTHMA.. and lots more.

“Great service, friendly staff and the manager/host was very accommodating. They made our retirement party awesome!! Thanks again!! March 21, 2025“

“Was greeted and seated promptly. I was sat in a corner on a high top table so it was hard to see me but waitress was very quick to get to me and told me she didn't see me and apologized immediately for any kind of wait. Which was only a few minutes, if that. She took my drink order and my food order which I picked the Triple Dipper which I HIGHLY recommend. As I was going between the southwestern egg rolls and the big mouth bites, I made a slight comment of it and she recommended that both were great which I already knew 😁 BUT I finalized on the southwestern egg rolls and she laughed and said she didn't want to talk me out of my decision which I respected but she said I made the right choice and maaaannnnn she was right! The avocado ranch alone is to die for!!!! My food came out perfect and hot in about 8 minutes. And was served by a very sweet and kind gentleman promptly. My waitress was prompt and checked on me regularly. Filled my glass when it was half full and stayed on top of things. The restaurant is clean, very well maintained, and has the best employee atmosphere. I HIGHLY recommend this Chili's 🌶️. I live an hour and a half away and will most definitely be returning as a normal or regular customer!!!!“

“Colton our waiter could not be any more helpful true asset to your company“

“I ordered carside and my husband picked it up on his way home from work. He got home and said that no one came out. He had to go in. He worked late and so he was frustrated with that because our food was cold when he got home. Then when he pulled our food out of the bags we noticed cold and hot food were mixed so our cold food was warm. We had missing items but the big one was, I'm immunocompromised and I am unable to consume raw or undercooked meats. My burger was pink all the way through so I wasn't able to eat my dinner and I specifically marked I wanted my burger done.

I called the next morning to speak with a manager and Demetrius was awesome. I explained what happened and told him I wouldn't have made a stink about missing items because it happens but due to my health and not being able to eat my meal I was upset with the situation. He apologized and offered to make it right by replacing our entire meal. I gave him a time and when I arrived he was waiting for me and had my food ready to go.

I greatly appreciate Applesbees hiring a manager who believes in the theory that the customer is always right. Thank you for hiring such a rockstar manager. Keep up the great work Demetrius!“

“Delicious food and fast, reliable service.“

“I’ve been there twice in the last couple of months. Both times I got exactly what I ordered. Both times the food was hot and fresh. Both times the garlic butter burger was so freaking good. Happy with the quality of food. I was just there the other day. I can appreciate good quality food.“

“Ate here yesterday with my girlfriend and we had a great experience. The atmosphere was perfect the staff were great and the food was OMG amazing. My girlfriend ordered a ribeye and I swear it was the best flavored most tender steak I have ever tasted. Logans is now are go to place. Misty was our waitress and she was she friendly and kind. The manager Chef was so good with checking on us to see if everything was good. EVERYONE NEEDS TO GO GIVE LOGANS A TRY. The place is now so amazing“

“The employee's were very nice and our waitress asked if we needed refills often. So many food items to choose from! Everything was fresh and plentiful, but I would suggest they put signs by all the items so we can tell what some of them are. Dessert area had at least 12-13 different items. Chocolate cake was great! We were there around noon, for lunch.“
