    Visited this town and came across this gem! Love that almost everything was in walking distance from our hotel. Absolutely amazing food, the line outside the door when we came into town was a clear indication of the popularity of this place. We were not disappointed, food was wonderful, came out fast, hot and delish! Staff was very friendly and even got to meet Ma who was there working. Super nice lady, hope to return soon!

    Bacon , biscuits and gravy and hash browns

    Small diner with above par diner food Every time I have eaten here, it's busy. Friendly staff and good food. Eggs, toast and bacon are hard to mess up and are typically the same at most diners. The biscuits and gravy were great. Big portions and good flavor. Biscuits were cooked perfectly and the gravy was seasoned well. The Omelet was also flavorful and cooked well. We got one loaded with veggies and meat and I was concerned it wouldn't be cooked well with all the ingredients. But I was pleasantly surprised. Cons: took forever to get our food. Group of 6 approximately 40 minutes from order to table. Food -4 Price -4 Wait time -1

    Biscuits and Gravy

    If you want the small town diner/cafe experience this is the place to go! Service was beyond friendly and the biscuits and gravy were to die for. The rest of our breakfast was fairly standard fare (eggs, omelette, bacon, toast, etc) but cooked very well to order and the coffee cup never got below half. If I ever make it back to Marceline I'd love to try some of their lunch options.

    After visiting the Walt Disney Hometown Museum, we stopped at Ma Vic's. They had lots of cafe standard on the menu. I got the Chicken Philly, a hogue with Grilled green peppers and onions, chicken, with Mayo and Swiss, it was fantastic! Moist and full of flavor. My wife had the patty melt and she also though it was really good. I would highly recommend when visiting.

    Delicious cinnamon roll - ask for it warmed with butter.

    If you are in town visiting The Original Main Street USA or the Walt Disney Hometown Museum you need to stop in for a bite at Ma Vic's. Nothing fancy or pretentious but classic diner food and friendly service. Great homemade pie and their own ice cream creation, the Dusty Miller. Ask them how it got it's name. Don't forget to try a cinnamon roll, ask for it warmed with butter. You won't regret it!

    For a small town diner they have a nice selection of lunch items. The staff made us feel welcome from the moment we walked in. Trust me we stood out like a sore thumb. The food was good, almost like going over to friends house for lunch. I cant stress how nice the people are. Even the customers engaged us like we were old friends. If you are near the area do yourself a favor and stop in for a small town diner experience.

    Cinnamon Roll

    Great little Cafe in a historic building.hash browns and the cinnamon roll were butter were highlights.

    Tenderloin with tots

    Small town, Midwest diner. This is the poster child. Saw a good Yelp review and decided to detour off the highway. Saturday at noon. Busy. Don't be in a hurry. We were greeted by Ma Vic herself. This is the town where Walt Disney grew up. Main Street Disney is modeled after this Main Street. Everyone here knows everyone. Prices are very reasonable. Everything is cooked to order. Pepsi products Breaded tenderloin: they have 2 sizes. The small one was plenty. Breading was fairly light. Mild seasonings Hey. It's a tenderloin sandwich. What more do you need? Tater tots hot and crispy Wife had the patty melt. Another good option This place is the text book for laid back, small town diners Ma Vic, BTW, never stops moving. Cleaning, serving, greeting. She hustles.

    jamie and ken having coffee at Ma Vics!

    Food made me get sick and was up all night throwing up. I got chicken strips and mozzarella sticks and they didn't taste right.

    Great little cafe. Food and service was excellent. Got a free "Dusty Miller" sundae that was fabulous. Taco was very good too.

My aunt called on two separate occasions to make reservations for our larger group. We walked in on the night of my cousin's graduation to celebrate a huge milestone. We walked in and the hostess stated she didn't have our reservation, another lady who was either the owner or manager came up hot and bothered and was EXTREMELY rude. On a hospitality level I give her a -50. She very rudely stated she didn't have our reservation and continued to be awful as we tried to clarify that we had made a reservation. Even if she could have been nice and apologetic about the reservation misunderstanding, I wouldn't have stayed to eat here and support this business. People need to learn how to treat other humans nicely. This lady was NOT nice, one of the rudest restaurant encounters I've ever had.

    If someone were to ask me to invent a restaurant I would want in North Missouri, the answer is…read morebasically Sebree's. It is a daydream come true (wistful, but more grounded in reality). And Sebree's manages to be better than I could have imagined. Sebree's is the embodiment of what I hope restaurants in this part of the world can be. We have so much to offer, it's a matter of bringing it all together. And they do that so well. They have admirably prioritized relationships with area farmers, showcasing local producers. Where they do go outside the immediate region (seafood), they make a point of keeping the same sort of relationships with small-scale, sustainable producers in those communities. In our visit, the menu was very local - both in content and design. Consisted solely of recognizable dishes folks grew up with here - surf and turf, pasta, bread pudding, there were few surprises. And that's where the surprise was: the execution is on an astounding level. I have seen variations on that menu in so many other places throughout Missouri and beyond. The dish names are the same, but none of them produce like this. So think homestyle food, except in your house you have someone from Greentop who went out and cooked under French and German chefs, then came back for family. Normal stuff. Even something as basic as the bread was excellent, and the honey butter they whipped up for it was ideal. The steak was the best we'd ever had in the area. And the bread pudding was outstanding - I'm still thinking about that caramel. They are passionate about food here and it shows - curious and inventive, evolving the menu throughout the seasons based on what's available. An example of this is their blackberry sorbet. It's lovely. Cindy, the front-of-house side of the wonderful duo who own and operate this place, explained "We ended up with a fantastic crop of blackberries in our garden this year, so I've been figuring out what to do with them ever since. We froze a bunch and I decided to try making a sorbet. So I learned." Fantastic. I love that attitude, and they have the standards and abilities to make special things happen. They pay attention to the quality of details, and it shows. Even the music - the played vintage Uncle Tupelo all through our time there, it was the perfect choice. Maybe that's the metaphor: That combination of heritage and modern craft. Is it perfect? No, of course not. It's very human and honest, and I love that about it. It's making things and tinkering and innovating, and that's much more interesting than the same polished menu with little variation. The citrus slaw was good, but for us it would have worked better as a component in a larger dish - which I think is how it started. The wine list fit in with what's generally available in the region, but it's also an opportunity to raise the level a notch above what you can get at Hy-Vee. Maybe the traffic through the restaurant isn't enough for it, which would totally make sense. Generally speaking, the drink program is fine but doesn't match the level of the food. There is a decent enough looking bar, but they may have been short staffed and this all could be remedied by the time you're reading this. The atmosphere was one of transition, while still good. It and the menu graphic design are sneaky - they don't fully communicate the excellence coming from the kitchen. All of it is completely understandable, and I also would love to see this place playing to its heights. None of these are big deals. We felt comfortable and welcome, and the night was a great time. This place is a conversation with the local community. It makes so much sense. I would love to see that culinary conversation expand to include some of the additional flavors and traditions we have here - Salvadorean pupusas would be a perfect combination with that citrus slaw. It would be fun to see one dish on the menu that steps into more inventive and educational territory - but we've only been once, so they may already be doing that and we just missed it this time. If possible, make reservations - they have a small team, so it's wise to give them a heads up that you're heading their way, right after we got there a table of 12 showed up and I gained an appreciation for Cindy's role as host/air traffic controller. Let's wrap this up: Kirksville is a place that is 3 hours away from the nearest airport, and even though it's just 17,000 people, it's the largest town for a wide radius. It is also a place where you can go from preschool to doctor without leaving the city limits. That's what I love about this area - when people only focus on the limitations, they don't see *us*. And this is what they miss. Sebree's gave me a great meal, but it also feeds a sense of pride and possibility in where we are and who we can be. Maybe that's lofty to say about a surf and turf platter with a house salad, but I defy anyone to come here and walk away with anything but respect.
