Mark P.

Fantastic service and delicious food. A perfect diner! The waitress was so nice and pleasant. Made the best chocolate malt. The hot turkey sandwich was wonderful and the place was amazing and everyone was so friendly. Definitely recommend it when you are in Hannibal, Missouri.

Bacon and Eggs
Rudy M.

As a fan of Mark Twain, I chose to have breakfast here before starting my day in Hannibal. I was a little disappointed that it didn't have any references to Becky on the walls, but it definitely had the looks of a cafe, with its checkerboard floors and homages to the 50s here and there. I kept my meal simple and had bacon and eggs with wheat toast and hash browns. It was good enough to keep me going in the sweltering heat that was creeping around me from outside. The service was good and very attentive. I'd recommend this to anyone looking for a comforting breakfast.

Corned Beef Hash and over easy Eggs
Wanda H.

The service was great and the food was pretty good. I got the Corned Beef Hash with over easy eggs. The eggs were cooked well, and you could tell the Corned Beef Hash was NOT canned. It tasted good, and the beef had been trimmed up well. Nothin' hangs me up quite like comin' across gristly or fatty beef! They did it well. Ambiance wasn't the greatest, but it was doable.

Veggie omelette  Taken 4.1.23
Ronnie B.

Food: D Service: B Price: B The omelet was thin, and veggies weren't cooked long enough, which left them hard. The cheese was melted but chewy with no seasoning. All in all I wouldn't recommend this restaurant to anyone. Our pick

Opening in 1942 as a 15 seat classic diner, the Mark Twain Dinette has been a fixture of the…read moreHannibal, Missouri dining scene since, providing locals and tourists alike a combination of value priced food. It is known for their giant spinning root beer bug. My wife and I stopped in for lunch on our fourth day of our Mississippi River road trip, and found the food and service to be great. The dinette is part of the Maid-Rite family of restaurants (all individually owned) and specializing in loose meat sandwiches (seasoned ground beef kept loose like a sloppy joe without the tomato sauce). This is the main reason why I came, as I had not had a loose meat sandwich in a very long time. The building has greatly expanded since the initial start, and now consists of a large souvenir shop (mostly focusing on various board games) on one side, and a dining room on the other. They have a drive-in in the back and plenty of surface parking surrounding the building. It wasn't too busy when we came in, and got to choose a window booth. My wife started with a homemade root beer in a frosty mug ($3.50) and said it was refreshing and delicious. The soup of the day was chicken noodle ($6.50 for a bowl), and my wife found it to be very rich, similar to a chicken pot pie's filling. We shared a poutine - hannibal-style ($12.50) and it was good, though not sure why they called it hannibal-style...maybe because the gravy was darker than what I expected and the cheese curds were the battered deep fried kind. Any who... my wife and I finished as it was quite good. I did get the maid-rite sandwich ($7.24) plus a $1 upcharge to upgrade the side to onion rings. The sandwich was OK, good quality beef and not too greasy but nothing to get too excited about...hard to eat without it falling apart on ya. But the onion ring upgrade was the real deal, with obviously homemade battered sweet onion rings deep fried really well...very very good and something I would actively seek out. Service by Sydney was excellent throughout and was pleasantly surprised by the value for the amount of food we got. We got the bill at the table, but was asked to pay upfront (at the same register that supports the retail shop). We ended up finding a couple of party mystery games on sale at the store, and bought them to bring to our friends that we were about to visit. Super glad that we stopped in, for both the food and sale priced items.

Update: I couldn't leave Hannibal without trying the infamous fried chicken. I ordered online and…read moreset a pickup time. Also had the fried green tomatoes and potato salad. Excellent and definitely would have been worth the 25-min wait had I eaten in again.

They're right off the side of the highway located near the college, hospital and hotel. So that is convenient. They have a wide selection of coffees and ice cream which I'm assuming they are known for. The iced coffee is really good! I also ordered a chicken, tomato and mozzarella sandwich. Wasn't as appealing to look at but it is good for what's around here especially during the Covid-19 situation. Also it comes with a side of fruit which was super tasty and refreshing. Totally will be coming back next time I am around.

While I stood by the cash register at least 3 different ladies behind the counter passed me by. Not one greeted me or asked if I had any questions or if I wanted to purchase anything. There were no other customers ahead of me or behind me. And there were at least 5 employees all shrieking and laughing in the kitchen and having LOUD personal conversations amongst themselves. Finally someone came out and instead of saying anything to me she just stood and stared at me until I told her I wanted to order something. I ordered a salmon and broccoli bowl and a dirty soda. My wait was not long. The food and drink was surprisingly very good and the place is clean. While I wanted to come back another time and try their coffee drinks I just couldn't get myself to due to how painfully awkward it was to order here. The feeling I got was that customers are a burden.

We had one of the most enjoyable meals of our lives here! Service was friendly with a smile and many patient answers for our many questions. Turns out we love Turkish food. We had only had it once or twice before. LaBinnah Bistro is simply magnificent! We started with the Dolma appetizer. I have a soft spot for grape leaves, and these were outstanding! Definitely top three that I've ever had. My wife had the Istanbul shrimp and she loved them. Her boiled potatoes and asparagus were cooked exactly to her liking. I had the Saç Tava, which is Turkish stirfry beef with yellow peppers and tomatoes. I think there was some garlic in it. It was served with the best saffron rice I've ever tasted. We were completely spoiled with this Turkish home cooking. SO GOOD! We had a delicious and reasonably priced bottle of wine and the Godiva tall chocolate cake for dessert. It was moist and delicious but not overpoweringly sweet. Look at my photos of the interior of this place it's just charming and quaint. So lovely. We were visiting from the Kansas City area and we are absolutely enamored with this little restaurant and we will be back as much as possible!!!

We got the Cajun tortellini,.which is my favorite and the Garlic Lovers pizza. We got a #4 by accident and it was yummy. The Garlic Lovers was so stinking good and cheesy.

Definitely recommend the local haunt.

The place deserves a 3.9, but I only gave it a 3.0 as it committed an unpardonable sin: the credit…read morecard surcharge (or as they call it here: "ADMIN FEE"). Accordingly the Merchants Payments Coalition the credit card surcharge/admin fee, has increased from 2.02% in 2010 to 2.35% in 2024. Now while I agree this seems a little high, it's not catastrophic, and I have trouble believing this 0.33% increase has directly led to this brave new world of bifurcated billing: one price for cash and second price that is somewhat more than 0.33% greater. Well it has at the The Brick Oven, as I was charged 3.75% (see photo). If your going charge me more to use my credit card, then you need inform me. And as the only thing I really demand from capitalism is transparent pricing, do owners really want to start off my dining experience with a review of how it ends? Well instead this place chose to avoid this checkered conversation by annotating the bottom of my bill accordingly. Dining here was supposed to a moment to relax with my wife and think some very Twainian thoughts, and not about conducting some financial analysis. But I guess that's the last memory the owner wants to impart. Our server (the guy who lives above the place), was excellent and I feel bad about taking the difference between 3.75% and my 2% credit card cash back out of his tip, but something must be done. Btw: Whenever I'm asked to choose between paying more or paying cash, I always have a distinct feeling it's less about saving a dollar in credit card fees and more about saving 20 dollars in taxes.
