Fantastic dinner tonight! The crab cakes were to die for!!! We had the shrimp and grits and steak and frites both entrees with Gouda Mac and cheese bacon grits 10/10! The pecan praline cheesecake was the perfect end to a wonderful dinner! Almost forgot the fresh bread and cornbread were both delicious. Service was excellent!

We just enjoyed one of the BEST meals we've ever had! The server was amazing. She was attentive without hovering and answered every question we had about the menu and even offered to bring us complimentary bread that we weren't even aware of. My husband had the catfish nuggets with the smoked gouda mac n cheese and the hand cut fries. I had the half portion of shrimp and grits with a side of fried okra. Both dishes came out piping hot and fast. We will definitely be back!

During my work stay in town, this place became my favorite spot. The food was consistently excellent, and the handmade cocktails were a top notch. I visited several times with coworkers, and they were great at accommodating our group, but I especially enjoyed sitting at the bar alone. The bartenders were friendly and engaging, making for a wonderful experience. While all the staff were fantastic, Caroline stood out as exceptional. This restaurant surpassed all my expectations, and I’ll definitely return whenever I’m back in town.

The Smothered Baja Chicken was very good. The Fried Green Tomato BLT was excellent. The service was very good too. The atmosphere was bright and friendly. A don't miss at the Drury in Cape Girardreau.

The food was absolutely outstanding, a solid 10/10! The green beans and fried pickles are an absolute must-try. I dined with a large group, and not a single person was disappointed – everyone raved about their meals. Plus, the prices are more than fair for the quality. I’ll definitely be returning!

Waited 1:15 and had to ask to have our order checked on. You should know when you have events at the hotel you are attached to and staff accordingly.

Friendly service from the start. Drinks were great and food (pork chop, brussel sprouts and smashed potatoes for me) was amazing!

Our family of four spent about eighty dollars for delicious food and the portion sizes were reasonable for the price. The service was spectacular and the waitress checked in frequently to see if we needed anything and to see if we were ready to order. The food also got to our table quickly considering the business at the time. Overall, a great experience and I would go back again.

It was alright. Food was overpriced for what it is. The atmosphere shows attention to small details like real flowers on the table but then there are holes all in the walls with dirty floors and crowded tables. Service was fine, my company and I both misread the menu and when asked about our second side we ordered smashed potatoes not knowing the dish already came with it. We even commented on that when she asked, but she didn't alert us of the mistake. No biggie, just not very helpful. Drinks were good and strong, though! Fried pickles were the best part of the meal!

We were worried when we saw this was attached to a hotel but it turned out really good. The house pickled veggies were great. Steak cooked per order. Food was tasty. My only disappointment was the chicken and dumplings not what I expected from something named The Southerner. Gooey butter cake a real hit. Great place to stop when traveling. Waiter Angie extremely good. Very competent.
