    Brisket grilled cheese and fries
    Lisa O.

    This place has great lunch specials and a great normal menu. Staff is friendly and there's lots of seating, booths and tables, and a Pepsi fountain machine. The inside also has a convenience store, restroom and bakery case filled with options. Outside there are gas pumps. I would rate it 5 stars, but prices are a bit in the high side considering that this is a convenience store eatery and portions on fries weren't great for almost $4 and drinks are over $3. My sandwich was about $12 and came with nothing, not sure if everything is al a cart like that or not, but it would be nice to have some combo deals with discounts. Around $20 for my food and drink was a bit much.

    Went here again with lady friends. It was a bit busy but we got our food pretty fast for as busy as it was. I ordered the jalapeño popper grilled cheese. Yum, it was so good! The special was lobster rolls and I thought I might be disappointed ordering the grilled cheese, but I wasn't at all. Next time for sure, I will try lobster rolls when it's on special again.

    Have been seeing multiple posts on Facebook of Captain's Corner. Definitely had it on my list of places to try. However, based on where we live in Kansas this would be a hefty drive. The other day we were in downtown KCMO, so figured we were about halfway there so it was time to make the drive and go to Captain's Corner. Glad we did. What an interesting place. Kind of in the middle of nowhere, but easy to find with the interesting outside displays and a parking lot full of cars. We got there around lunch time. Note: If you do get there during lunch, be prepared for a short wait, but still worth it. When you walk in there will probably be a line of people either waiting to order and waiting on their food. As a rookie we quickly figured out the process. Go up to the register and place your food order. There is a menu on the wall. The place is also a small market for campers and fisher people. There are probably a dozen tables and booths. We were going to eat there so place your order, tell them you are eating there, give them a name and grab a table and wait for your food to come out. Now, on to the food. We had heard some recommendations, so we got a cheeseburger and a tenderloin sandwich. The food was outstanding. The burger was delicious. Not sure what blend of beef they use, however it was delicious. On a good bun with your choice of cheeses. I can't say it is the best cheeseburger in the world, since I have not been to every restaurant, however it was the best cheeseburger I have every had. Looked to be about a 1/3 pound patty. You can get multiple patties, however one was more than adequate. We also got a tenderloin sandwich. Again, one of the best we have ever had. Almost forgot to get pictures, however, did get some although had already taken a bit. Got a side of fries. They were good. Will probably try a different side next time. All the staff there was friendly and helpful. It is a wonderful place. Just wished I live closer due to the drive; however, I will be going back. Make the drive, it is well worth it. Also, across the street is an ice cream parlor that you may want to check out.

    So, so yummy! I loved my jalapeño popper burger. It's so rich and delicious. If you love cream cheese, it's great and not spicy. The burger is thick and juicy. Let me tell you how fantastic the desserts are! The apple pie is very delicious. And the bread pudding is such a big, delightful portion--my friends split it and absolutely loved it. Can't wait to come back! Oh, and don't miss out on the photo props outside.

    I have a lot about this place. I made the drive to try it. It's located in a general store with a few gas pumps. Definitely has a lake vibe. The staff was welcoming and friendly. I wanted to try something unique to the restaurant. There really was nothing unique. The counter person said they were known for their hamburgers. So, I got the cowboy burger with the jalapeños on the side and a cup of water. The water cup was the only dissapointment. The cup was so small. I needed to take three trips during the meal to drink. The hamburger was better than I expected. I knew it would be good when took a little while for it to arrive. Means it is fresh and cooked to order. Next I had a slice of pecan pie. It was great as well. This did not come in a box from a store. Very nice. Take some time to enjoy this out of the way place.

    Their self-serve Condiment Cow for ketchup, mustard, and barbecue sauce! So cute!

    These burgers are delicious! I ordered the spicy jalapeño burger and it had the perfect amount of kick. The sweet potato fries and onion rings were awesome and fried perfectly! There was a line to order when we got there but it moved quickly, and the service was fast and friendly! If you're in the area, this is a must stop!

    We finally had the chance to stop by after hearing great things, and it did not disappoint! The burgers were massive and delicious, the fries were perfectly crispy, and our youngest loved the cookies. We'll definitely be back next time we're in the area!

    I read reviews of this place having some of the best burgers - and it is true! Grabbed a to-go order as I was leaving town - and now I will need to go back. Burger was hot, juicy, and delicious. I got a single which was more than enough. They recommend their sweet potato fries, too. Dusted with a little slap your mama - they were some of the best I have had. Don't pass this place up for friendly service, great food, and good prices. Make sure to leave some room for ice cream across the street, too.

    My sister and I came here for breakfast on our way out of town, and we're so glad we did. The staff was friendly, the food was delicious, and the atmosphere was so fun. Lots of decor to look at!

    There is absolutely nothing 'classic' about this restaurant, I've tasted better food at hospital…read morecafeterias...The ONLY reason this place got two stars is because the cake was to die for, melt in your mouth deliciousness but the "soul food" absolute TRASH! Who seasons macaroni with msg (accent)... disgusting...PLUS I was given a so called 'pork chop' that was the size of a giant chicken breast [pictured]...the yams were crunchy, not terrible but missing something and the fries were old ...how long does it take to cook fries when you've already cooked the fish and chicken which were pretty good....this place is lacking quality by far...would not recommend and would not return...ONLY for the cake

    I was in Kansas visiting my newest grandson I wanted to have some soul food with my brother who…read morelives in Grandview while I was in town. He told me about this spot so I went and picked us up some lunch. He ordered oxtails and grits with a side of cabbage and some peach cobbler. I ordered the tackle box with shrimp, fish and chicken wings and a side of greens. I thought I was getting fries and greens, but I only got the greens and they were okay, but I gave them to my brother. The cabbage was also just OK because there wasn't much juice in them, so they were pretty dry. Everything else was absolutely delicious. I had never had Basa fish, but I loved it loved it loved it ! I will definitely go back when I am in town next. Matter fact, I ordered two to go plates: oxtail and grits for my son and Basa fish and yams for his wife. They loved their orders as well. My only recommendation would be that they put the grits and oxtails in a different kind of container. Even though it was double bagged the Styrofoam does not accommodate the grits. Customer service was great. The tall young man who served me made a little mistake on my ticket, but it was OK. They fixed it....everybody was nice. Totally enjoyed myself.

    I probably should have ordered one of their burgers, as that's what they're known for! My chicken…read moresalad on a croissant was supposed to have fresh apples, grapes, and nuts, but had none of any. Instead, it was very savory...not at all what my tastebuds craved or were ready for! Others at my table said their food wasn't quite what they expected/hoped for. It was hectic because we were there for the Plattsburg Historic Holiday Homes Tour, so the servers were rushed, and they were out of some things, including the free "starter" item the homes tour gave us a coupon for. The bright side? They substituted a DESSERT!! Yay! Either banana cream pie or tiramisu (not an item I would have expected at a burger joint/cafe), but neither was homemade. And although we asked if there was any chance they would run out of either, and our server said " no chance," they ran out of the pie. With only 3 pieces left for 6 of us, 3 had to go with tiramisu...both choices were good, but not great. I would might go back to Plattsburg just to drive around to see the many, many historic homes, predominantly fancy Victorian style. But I'd eat at a different restaurant. The architectural treasures may be a well-kept secret, as none of us homes-tour-and-historic-architecture junkies knew about them or about Plattsburg's rich history before learning of the tour. Ask someone there what was discovered about one of their famous, never married, supposedly childless forefathers at the town's first big reunion when many ancestors got together!

    We were looking for a place to stop and grab a bite on our way to Lathrop and found this little…read morespot. Both of our sandwiches were fresh and fabulous!
