Eagles Nest Cafe, Meadville MO

We have passed by this place on numerous occasions but have never had the opportunity to stop. This is your typical small community diner where everybody knows everybody. The food was tasty and the service good, would stop again if we get the chance.

I didn’t even eat here, just stopped on the side of the road to rest during a road trip. I lost an AirPod on the side of the road and didn’t notice until I was way further down the road. The employee I talked to quickly volunteered to find it, which she did within 30 seconds, then volunteered to mail it back to my home in Utah. If their food is half as good as their service I’m sure it’s amazing!

Two had breakfast. Pancakes are huge, light, fluffy! Awesome! One had burger and fries. Good stuff! Banana pie was outstanding! Will be back! Thanks!

This is a very small place. The staff are always friendly, food is cooked fresh, and there is lots of local "flavor". I stop there frequently when I'm in the area.

Stopped in on a drive from Detroit to Kansas City. Food was great. Seems like a great little local place.

Thanks for having us!

Food was somewhat okay but they didn’t pay attention to anyone but the regulars that they knew, I had to get up to get their attention for anything I wanted. The waitress was constantly on her phone, the employees were also constantly swearing. They said the bathroom was out of order even though we saw an employee using it and beyond seeing them taking plates & cups off the tables they weren’t cleaning them, our table even had jam on the edges. They even put the jam they insisted on giving us on my eggs.

Food was terrible. Service was even worse. Unfriendly environment, and inappropriate conversations around the area. I had the chicken strip meal with a biscuit, fries, and coleslaw. The chicken strips were the only half OK thing and I spent $25 on it. Definitely over priced.

I've wanted to stop here for lunch or breakfast for a long time but timing never seemed to work until today.

Stepping into the Eagles Nest is like going back in time, it looks and feels like a old farm house but with a huge griddle in the kitchen.

I ordered their bacon double cheeseburger with onion rings and sat back to listen to the community conversation that was going on.

If you don't want to wait for your food or sit close to other people, you don't want to stop here. But, if those things don't bother you and you want a excellent burger, this is the place!

I was a little disappointed about the number of onion rings I got but they were fresh and hot and delicious. The burger was huge! I have XL hands and it took both to get it picked up!

I wish I would have saved room for dessert because their pies looked wonderful as well.

All in all, I want to go back.

Definitely a little jewel in the rural community. Great service and food was great. I really like that you get your eggs cooked exactly like you ordered. Have not ate lunch there but I hear it is great "home cook" style food

Great place for friends to visit while our order was prepared. Cheeseburger and fries plate was a hit with our guest. Husband chose the Grilled Tenderloin with fries. I also chose the Grilled Tenderloin with onion rings. The rings were hand made, which made them very delicious. Husband heard that the homemade pie was sold out - or he might have tried a slice.

They served one of the biggest tenderloin and it was great. The Swiss Burger was excellent as well. Friendly service.

In 2001, my mom and I got in a horrible accident on the highway. It happened to be right outside this cafe. By the time we stopped rolling staff and guests from this cafe were already at the car pulling out the windshield so we could crawl out. There were two (or more) compassionate women who worked at or owned the cafe who cared for us thorough our shock, helped call family, and kept the cafe open late to feed us and wait the two hours for our ride to come.

We were cleaning out the house and stumbled on a scrap paper with the address of this cafe and it jogged the old memory. Hence the 21 year belated review. The people of this cafe were so kind in a really hard moment in our lives and their kindness is still not forgotten. Thank you!
