“I went in today for the first time and had the pleasure of meeting the owner. She told me that this is a family owned business, and she brings her son in with her, who happened to be sleeping in the back at the time. She was very helpful and knowledgeable about the menu and answered all of my questions. While I was there, another lady came in, and was greeted by name. I love that they get to have a business while raising their son, and they clearly love people and want to help them. Their products are all clean and so good for you, also delicious! I can’t wait to go back, I highly recommend you go here instead of scooters or smoothie king. 😊”

“Nice atmosphere and food was delicious!!”

“Restaurant with a sports bar atmosphere. Great service and the meatball appetizer was so delicious. We ordered a gyro and pepperoni & sausage calzone with fries as a side. All of the food was really good, hubby says sausage had a really good taste in the calzone. It wasn't the best gyro I've had but it was good. Fries were also very good, crunchy with seasoning. We ordered a Greek-style pizza to go. Unfortunately, the crust was cracker-like and not our favorite. We'll definitely stop again for the meatballs!”

“The downstairs bar is like the T. V. show CHEERS, Carrie and Cindy the bartenders are awesome and there's a live piano show and the bouncer Chris is a heck of a great guy to hang with full of positive vibes and there's an upstairs bar and dance floor as well as a rooftop smoking patio to watch the stars and chat. Colton, Matt and Kevin the other bouncers are pretty nice welcoming guys as well and will do anything to make you feel safe and have fun. The drinks are delicious and priced well, I highly recommend Bones in the Alley for a good night out!”

“I had the most enjoyable lunch here yesterday! I had no idea that this lovely little restaurant was here until a friend mentioned it to me a few months ago. I finally got around to trying it and let me tell you, I will definitely be back!! The most delicious, freshly made sandwiches & salads and don’t get me started on how delicious all the pastries looked! I had the salted caramel brownie for dessert and WOW!! The owners are so nice plus there’s a gift shop attached with all kinds of unique things! Do yourself a favor and pay this place a visit!!”

“Totally awesome, crust was perfect and toppings were awesome as well.”

“First time trying the iced Blondie ! Sorry Starbucks but I found my new love for iced coffee ❤️”

“This was a great find in Jeff City. We were only staying overnight and found this place on Google close to our hotel. The outside is very unassuming in the Jefferson strip mall. Once you walk in it's vibrant and colorful with beautiful tables and chairs.
On to the food... the chips are warm and the salsa is tasty. It came out within 30 seconds of sitting down. My wife and I ordered the Steak Fajitas for two which was around $25. I also ordered a single Carnita taco. The portions were very generous for the price and the food was flavorful. The service was friendly and quick. They have a well stocked bar with good prices. We did not get a drink this time. Our bill was only $32. Oh, they also have this fresh salsa bar for no additional charge I don't know if I'll have a need to be back in Jeff City but if I find myself here, I'll definitely come back to El Jimador. O highly recommend this place.”

“Yesterday was my husband's birthday. He decided he wanted pizza for dinner. I suggested Pizza Haus as I have tried it before and loved it, but he has never had it. We ate at the restaurant and the service was wonderful! I was a bit nervous to see if he liked it because he is super picky. But He LOVED it!!! This is a huge win, because he doesn't really like any other pizza place we've tried locally. Our 2 sons loved it too and could not stop eating. The price was also very reasonable for the 4 of us to eat. Thank you Pizza Haus! We will definitely be back!!!”

“What a fun place to play games! There is a HUGE selection of games. They have a new sandwich menu that is excellent. I had the Black Bean Avocado sandwich and it was fantastic. The atmosphere is great...I will be back!”

“I have lived in Jefferson City all my life and this week was my first time visiting Towne Grill. I don’t know how it was with previous owners, but this place was the perfect spot for breakfast. Friendly and clean, and the biscuits and gravy were delicious. Thank you, John Walker and staff!”

“I want to give a shout out to the manager, Kim who was absolutely wonderful when I called about our sons food allergies. She met us at our table, explained their process for food allergies, and ensured me that the kitchen staff had been notified. She personally delivered his food and checked in on us. Eating out when your child has life threatening food allergies is terrifying, and something we rarely do. So THANK YOU, Kim!! Your kindness means more than you know and Chilis is blessed to have you!”

“As "The Duke of Artz" the Pizzas and Crazy Breads were absolutely Triple great Great GREAT & Delicious. I am so proud of it and I am glad that I work there. It's Triple cool Cool COOL 😎👍👍👍”

“Best bbq in Jefferson City! Love their smoked meats and fish….chips are awesome!! 🤩”

“Seriously amazing. I’ve been to a good 20-30 restaurants specifically for Pho and this was hands down Top 3 best pho I’ve had. Savory, rich broth. Nice cuts of meat, fresh vegetables. We also got a smoothie before we left and it was incredible… makes me never want smoothie king again.”

“Arris' is one of my favorite places to eat whenever I am in town for work! The Venus and Hippocrates pizzas are some of my favorites, but everything on the menu is great. I also recommend getting the Spanakopita as an appetizer. Make sure to ask if they have fresh, house made baklava when you go!”

“Best pizza in Jefferson City. I regret not discovering Obie's sooner. I'll be back again and again.. I'm telling my friends that if they want really good pizza to go to Obie's.”

“thank you so much for the wonderful sandwiches and salad for nurses week! They were wonderful!”

“They do pretty good by me. Kaylee I believe her name is makes my drink the best it seems. She's been 100% thus far no sugar or whip cream and full. Love the people there. Just wish it was a tad more convenient for my wrecker. It can be sketchy walking in the drive thru in the morning. I appreciate them.”

“Cosy atmosphere， Creative cuisine”

“Fantastic fun time! Just right for my granddaughters birthday!”

“las margaritas . las mariscadas”

“Steve and Lindsey will go out of their way to make sure you feel like family here! This is the most comforting chill bar ever and there's always something happening here whether live music or art receptions, you NEED to stop in and try a brew or bourbon!”

“I have tried several drinks here and they all have been great! Always friendly when you walk in and they have several options.”

“The 3 guys working the dinner shift were absolutely amazing, Brayden, Eliseo and a younger kid were so attentive and polite. Brayden was very patient waiting for our difficult order to be communicated (two younger picky allergy children) and never once got annoyed. Eliseo worked hard to ensure we received our entire order the first time and it was AMAZING!! 10/10 on the tuna for sure. And the younger guy was working very hard to make sure the entire restaurant was clean even taking the additional chair we used!! Tonight was a great experience!”

“Waitress Jessie served my girlfriend and I last night. She was very polite and kept my sweet tea glass full. Food was delicious as always. What more could you ask for?”

“I had the shrimp platter, I'm from the UK and the cocktail sauce was delicious.”

“Me and my family had the best time. The customer service was outstanding, and our food came out hot, delicious, and fast. I ordered the Gyro Bratwurst and it was absolutely worth it. I couldn't believe how similar to a actual Gyro it was. I was also able to try the bacon bomb cheeseburger and it was so good I ordered it the next day at lunch. We took my father who was recovering in the hospital a order of buffalo wings, and he said hands down the best wings he has ever had. He loved them so much that when he was released from the hospital he ordered 4 orders of wing to take home and freeze to enjoy whenever he wants. Prison Brews has became one of our favorite places to eat when visiting Jeff City!!! I can't wait to try other menu items when we come back! Such a great environment as well, very relaxing.”

“My experience with Pappo’s has always been excellent. The staff are absolutely quite amazing and really knows how to maintain professionalism and promote an absolute Family Friendly environment for everyone.”

“Awesome service and food, plenty of it”

“Very nice place to eat with family”

“Lees Chicken in Columbia is my favorite chicken spot. It’s always been fresh, hot and delicious and the staff is so friendly.”

“Not quite as good as Central Dairy. It was ok, but that was about it. I asked for the most popular ice cream, and they gave me the Gooey Butter Cake ice cream. I ate about half of it and threw the rest away. Not necessarily a bad review. I don't like leaving those anyway. It was just not as good as the place across the street, in my opinion.”

“My husband had the fish sandwich and I had a foot long chili cheese dog--both were quite tasty! We shared some hot, crunchy tots then finished with messy, yummy cones! A vintage hometown favorite. Great service, too.”

“Best pizza place in Jeff City

Vegetarian options: Yummy

Dietary restrictions: Zero calories

Parking: 100 spots

Kid-friendliness: They love kids here

Wheelchair accessibility: Come one come all.”

“Everyone that works here is very sweet and helpful! Despite there not being a lot of workers they were fast and kind. Only downside is the hours right now a bit weird but that’s all!”

“Phenomenal venue for a wedding! The place is reasonably priced and can comfortably accommodate ~200 guests. If there are a lot of families and children on your guest list, the playground will be a major hit. There is ample parking and the kitchen is top-tier whether preparing your own food or bringing in a catering company. Our experiences with the Lions Club volunteers were always pleasant and we didn't encounter any other issues. Again, I'd highly recommend this venue for a wedding!”

“I love this place!! The domino cookie is my favorite and I have to get it everytime!We ordered a cookie cake and they did an amazing job. It was fresh, delicious, and didn't last long! Staff is pleasant and helpful for ordering. :)”

“My favorite is a hot white chocolate Mocha with whipped topping!! Awesome!!”

“Great place for good food, drinks and live music!!”

“Took my grandkids Herr for their first time, one can not eat peanut, one gentle man went to back got her fresh ice cream, how awesome and caring is that. These 2 guys were great there was 4 of us.2/22 @2:50 thank you for that extra step you took for her.”

“Joan has baked many things for me, all were delicious! Her patisserie downtown on High Street was so charming and had a welcoming atmosphere. It is wonderful to see her business continue!”

“The breakfast options are great! Whether you’re in the mood for something hearty or sweet, or even a little bit of both like me! And the coffee is comparable to 7Brew, and that’s saying something. The location is a hidden gem of Jeff but it’s worth it. And don’t let the exterior appearance fool you, it’s actually really spacious on the inside with a relaxing vibe to stay and sit for hours. The drive thru is also fast and friendly if you’re in a rush, but tip them well, they deserve it”

“I’ve eaten at hundreds of Asian restaurants from the Mississippi to the West Coast. This is definitely in the top three. Small, family owned and grate service.”

“Wanted to food this morning. And was very glad I didn't have to stop by and see if they were open or not. This review is simply because they actually updat hours olwhe. Not open. Very nice thank-you”

“The beans were a bit spicy but otherwise they were very good. The food for all our family of 4 was great and the kids even ate without an issue

Vegetarian options: The same as most Mexicans places”

“What a delightful experience!The drive in person was wonderful,even gave us a show tune like song ;) so awesome!Thank you wonderful drive through person,it's rare to get such a treat!”

“Best Chinese Food in all of Jefferson City”

“Martha (who usually takes my order) is so sweet, pleasant and helpful. The cooks, Dean & Shaheem make my order delicious every time I come there for lunch. A GREAT location.”

“The service was great. Our waitress refilled our drinks often and checked in on us enough. The hostess on the other hand just sat there and stared at her phone until we asked if we could get a table. She then told us that she was on a break.

Our food was fine. I had the catfish, my father and son both had a steak.”

“First time WE go there & staff was friendly from the minute u walk in the door they greet u. Food good & fresh🙂 We’ll be back !”

“EVERYTHING!!! Have not found anything I do not like yet! I try something new each time I go!”

“My husband and I just dined in Madison Cafe and were amazed how great everything was. Regrettably, we reside in Jefferson City for nine years without ever dining at Madison Cafe. We wish we had gone there sooner because the food, staff, and prices are really great. We will return to M.C. real soon.”

“Excellent service! employees are friendly! The food was done fast and accurately! absolutely delicious! Jay does absolutely amazing! highly recommend!”

“For the 5-6 years this place has been open. Today is my first visit to China King. And I will say I was not disappointed. Rather I was surprised. The serviceman at the front was friendly and understanding. And even asked to make sure no one had any allergies to anything before making the food. And the food was beyond my expectations, and it actually exceeded them. The portions were large, so if you order something prepared to be given more food than what you may expect and expect it to be cooked to order. One of the things I ordered was the vegetable lo mien. The vegetables were very fresh, I mean you could literally taste the freshness. For the price is it a good amount of food, and the food itself was delicious as well. If you're looking for a good Chinese restaurant, with good prices, good food, and good service, keep this place is mind. (PS, get the egg roll, they are really good, honestly best egg rolls I've had)”

“This bakery and the assistance of June was awesome. She was very helpful with my questions regarding my cake purchase. I was in 12:15 11/17/24. Kiddos to June. I will be back to this bakery.”

“Great fresh food.! I was one of their first customers when they first opened for business and never any regrets other than the bathroom odor. I watched them bring fresh pots and pots of re-fills. I invited many people to this restaurant and not one time ever regretted it. My husband feels it is the best eating place that he has ever eat at. I hope this problem gets resolved soon as this restaurant is an asset for the community. Thank you.”

“Second visit to Slims in two different locations. The food is what brought us back the second time. Nice young man waited on us & checked on us during our visit. Good food at a reasonable price.”

“Good food and lots of options, unfortunately we met family at Ria’s today just to find they were closed for vacation…. Wish they would have posted their vacation schedule on Facebook so we would have known ahead of time.”
