We have been on the road for seven days - from Connecticut - and the Red Barn Cafe was where we enjoyed our best meal, HANDS DOWN! This is where the locals enjoy breakfast (all day) and lunch. My daughter loved her chicken and waffle, and my Red Barn skillet was loaded with flavor! Bangin' biscuit and gravy on the side. The real deal, friends!

It's been a while since I posted but this restaurant is new on my top five list serving up an excellent breakfast with polite efficient staff. We enjoyed their Farm Hand breakfast with two eggs, three strips of bacon, hash browns, one biscuit and gravy, with perfect black coffee all of which was excellent. This jewel may not be new but I strongly recommend it to all new and old time customers, it's worth it!

Saw their sign on the hwy and decided to stop for breakfast/lunch glad I did. I don't need to eat again for at least the 6 hours to my next destination if then! I'm stuffed!!!! I highly recommend the chicken fajita omelet. Love the decor too patriotic Americana/ country. Excellent food and service.

The manager of Ozarkland 12 miles away told us about this place. She was Right. When I travel my family likes to find little hole in the wall places that only the locals know. This was one of those finds. We loved it. The foot was good old country quisine. Tastey and plentiful. Huge portions of chicken fried steak and piles of sides. It was a great little place. Our waitress was new, but still great. It was affordable and well worth the drive. Wish we would have had room for some pie...they looked amazing.

I love the red barn theme. There has been recent remodeling inside to match the farm theme. New items are being added to the menu. The food was great. The servers were awesome and friendly. If you haven't been in for a while, it's time to come and see the good things going on here.

5 Star for quality of food,, service and cleanliness of Cafe and especially, the bathroom!We found this place while looking for lunch and it was great! I ordered the mushroom cheeseburger, without buns, (no comment from the waitress, which i normally receive) and it was delivered perfectly - great meat quality!
