Mark Twain Dinette: Maid-Rite Restaurant and Diner, Hannibal MO

The Home Made Old Fashioned Root Beer is spectacular! Had a great lunch there. The dipping sauce they sent with the onion rings was made in-house and was superb. The staff was awesome. The Tenderloin was enormous and delicious. Almost needed two buns.

First time there. I was surprised and glad to see they had Made rites. I hadn't had one for several years.

Food was really good, nothing fancy but tasty! Giving only 3 stars due to our waiter Brady (he might possibly be the manager) and his rude attitude. He acted like we were interrupting his day and it was a complete inconvenience for us to come in and eat.

Staff was very friendly. Can't find maid rites very many places and they had them. Fried chicken was good too.

My wife had the cobb salad and it was HUGE, and good. I finished with a chocolate shake which was perfect. And super friendly staff.

Their famous onion rings were amazing! Those receive a five star rating alone. And their homemade root beer is delicious!

Just a great place to eat. I recommend getting the maid right sandwiches or the pork tenderloin. The pork tenderloin is bigger than the plate. Go for it!

AMAZING root beer. Usually root beer isn’t my go to but this was so good!
I never had a maid-rite sandwich so had to order one. It was surprising good. Also ordered a half tenderloin sandwich. I wanted to like it but it was just ok. Very thin and overcooked. My date had the burger and that was a pretty darn good burger. The service was great. Overall enjoyed this diner

Freaking amazing smoked pork baked beans like my Sedalia, Missouri Great granny used to make it, the maid rites were made right.fabulous.

This place is so cool if you remember the old 70's root beer mug rotating on a pole, you'll be reminded of the old A&W days. Their root beer is excellent, great chicken and they make the best sweet mustard sauce ever! They have a small store of Hannibal collectibles on the other side too. Cool place. I want to go back again sometime ‍️ service is awesome too

This is a hidden gem in Hannibal. I recommend the grilled tenderloin sandwich. You can order sandwiches without side items. I like that. The milkshakes are outstanding. My wife and I enjoyed a huckleberry shake and we were tempted to order a 2nd. The menu has more than enough choices. The fried chicken is excellent and different than chain restaurants. I would give them a 4.5 if I could.

Food was excellent and the service was personable and very helpful. They even have a "gift shop" full of actual board games. I dont mean monopoly, I mean actual GOOD board games.

We came through this town and stopped here to eat. It was nice when we came in, they have a gift shop to the left when you come in. Our waiter was nice and the food tasted great!

It's pretty much what should be expected for an older diner. Really cute wall mural. I had a "maid-rite" loose meat sandwich because a friend from Iowa talked it up. Nothing special for me.but it was edible. Hubby had smoked pork that was REALLY good! The rootbeer is OMG good, in my opinion, and DEFINITELY worth getting in a frosty mug.and going home with a 4-pack

Their shakes are the best! I really enjoyed the Huckleberry Shake.so creamy and delicious! Then, my husband had their Grilled Tenderloin Sandwich and a salad. I enjoyed their fresh fried chicken with mashed potatoes and green beans. Plus, we purchased several toys and games in their large gift shop for friends and family!

Good catfish platter with a side of fried green tomatoes. The service was efficient and helpful. Thanks for a great experience!

This was the worst ever. The waitress although not rude was not very efficient. Slaw was awful and no fries with sandwich. Gravy with my sandwich was about a spoonful. Kids meals with no side. Not offered drink refills. Fiddlesticks outshined this one 150% and was by far cheaper. Not to mention they sat us at a table with fold down sides and the they definitely needed to be cleaned in the cracks. Wish i would have read the reviews.
