    Half rack of ribs plate
    Sheena N.

    Ribs were moist and paired well with the bbq sauce. Seasoned fries were very yummy as well! Would come back next time I'm in Cape girardeau

    We do enjoy eating here however, I placed a catering order for Father's Day for a Baby Gender Reveal party of 40 people. When we went to pick up 2 hours before the party, our order had never been turned in and we were told they didnt have enough meat to fulfil our order. They said the person who takes the catering order was on vacation ! Almost RUINED my party. Luckily Wings Etc came through on a large last minute order. I will not consider Pilot House to be a reliable catering source in the future. I still have the email conformation for my order. I emailed that person with no response, not even an Im sorry!

    Stopped at Cape Girardeau for fuel and dinner break while flying from Canada to Texas. Many great items made it hard to make a decision. Ordered the cheese steak sandwich with mushrooms and a side of spicy fries. Both were wonderful, and the servings were substantial. Service was timely and friendly. Nice view of the airfield from our table. We were there around 5:15 pm on a Saturday and did not need to wait.

    My husband and I have been here numerous times. We absolutely love the stuffed mushrooms, the catfish and the hush puppies. The Pilot House is an essential stop down here if you enjoy delicious, comforting food and a good cold drink. The staff is so friendly and helpful. The classic decor and atmosphere can't be beat. This place is truly a hidden gem!!

    Great strip steak. Cooked just right. And horseradish to boot! Love it.

    Well, it's nothing fancy, and it's pretty small. But if the laughter and enthusiasm of the crowd at the Pilot House indicates the level of satisfaction, then this place is tops. The wait staff is young and amazing. My server, Alana, was ON IT. Smart, sweet, and friendly, with some serious wit and an excellent sense of humor. The side salad was a bit unusual with lettuce, brocolli and cauliflower in bite sized pieces (I asked for no peppers). But the surprise was the dressing. It was sweet and... hot! But it wasn't spicy hot, it was hot--as in temperature. Fist time I've encountered that, but It was good! The menu doesn't list steaks, but suggests asking the server about them. I was glad for that, since BBQ and smoked meat is good, but I wasn't in the mood for brisket and I don't eat pork. Everything must be made fresh because the speed wasn't very fast. But I had nothing but time and all good things are worth waiting for. My strip steak was cooked medium and consistent. Good flavor and the horseradish was very good too. The twice baked potato (without the American cheese) was delicious. The food hit the spot. And you should be warned that the portions are generous. The "entertainment" was fun, too--the lady tending bar was singing along with Tina Turner wondering "What's Love Got yo Do With It?" And finally, the conversations around me were reflective of people who genuinely were enjoying the chance to get out, get some good food, and just be with each other, face to face. I thoroughly enjoyed my food, the service, and I'll be back!

    Good food. Good service. Unlike several other local restaurants, they actually treat you like they're glad you're here. Finest food in town.

I've never had a male server but every one of the females are on it! One has the most vivacious personality and the others are friendly and quick. We have eaten there many times. Various times of the day. Sometimes it's not AS "speedy", but the best part is watching the pizza be prepared and brick oven baked. Soooo good & entertaining. I do want to day my friend who has gluten intolerance a CAN eat their crust!!! We were told the flour is brought in from Italy so it's not the same as most pizza crust in the area. Would I say "GF", no. But I'm just saying she had no reaction from the pizza! Just enjoyed it very much.

The pizza also had black olives, marinated artichokes and mushrooms and was the perfect ingredients for me and just the right amount of char on the pie that's expected of wood fired pies and how pizzas in Naples, Italy are served that I've had a few there and throughout Italy. The restaurant has a bright interior and the service was very welcoming and friendly. I'll want to go back next time I go through Cape Girardeau.
