Inside Country Skillet Cafe
Country Skillet Cafe in Bourbon, MO, carries the warm, straightforward vibe of a classic roadside diner along Route 66 with a local twist. It’s the kind of spot where the aroma of fresh coffee and hearty home-cooked meals fills the air early in the day, making it a natural stop for breakfast and lunch for folks passing through or locals grabbing a familiar, comforting meal.
The atmosphere feels friendly and unpretentious, with a dining room that welcomes families, road trippers, and anyone looking for a reliable plate of down-to-earth food.

Breakfast here has a solid reputation, especially for classic items like biscuits and gravy served with real cream on the side for coffee — a detail that locals appreciate for adding an old-fashioned touch. But lunchtime brings its own draw with a lineup of filling sandwiches and burgers, including a reliably classic cheeseburger dressed up with crispy sidewinder fries, and sandwiches like the Philly cheese steak and the Reuben that are generously portioned and served hot. There’s a notable variety of sides, from homemade cucumber salad to seasoned green beans, which complement the meals well and keep the experience true to its homestyle roots.
