Restaurants in Cape Girardeau

“We finally tried this establishment a couple of weeks ago and I had already gotten the Honeydew Milk Tea 4 times in the first week alone!! It’s literally the BEST drink that I’ve ever had. Truly! The different desserts that we tried were fabulous! The cloud cake was everything! The different crepes were top tier! Definitely a 10/10 recommend! They have my business as long as they want it! ✨🩶”

“honestly we didn’t have a good experience when we tried this restaurant BUT after waiting an hour and a half and still not getting our food, we informed the manager that we were leaving. she handled the situation very very well!! she apologized and insisted that we take our food to go for free. as we were walking out, she rushed to box our food. She gave us our food for free plus two gift certificates. we ate the food on our long drive home and it was EXCELLENT!!!! We will definitely be giving it a second chance. Kuddos to the manager for turning this around! Update: i also sent this same review/ message to the restaurant. The owner promptly responded with a very professional response. Again, this is how you run a business! Everyone makes mistakes, but how this business responded was top notch!”

“Food is always high quality excellent always wonderful. Staff is very nice, happy , very professional, always a Delightful dining experience.”

“I discovered Top of the Marq in June when a friend took us there. I have been back several times including my birthday 4 weeks ago. I really like this place especially for the atmosphere. The food jd excellent. Last time I had the 16 oz garlic ribeye steak. I took half of it home.”

“We were traveling through Paducah and stopped here for lunch. This is some of the best Cajun food we've ever had. The service was outstanding and the people were extremely friendly. We tried the bread pudding, it is the best we've ever had - you must , must try it”

“Nadine was our waitress. She did an excellent job! I have celiac disease and she was quick to answer any questions we had about their menu items.

“Tonight we celebrated my mother's 65th birthday. this wasn't my first time but it was her first as well as my aunts. Everything from the atmosphere, the service, the bartender or wine sommelier gave an excellent recommendation that my mother truly enjoyed! The FOOD was impeccable. My mom and aunt went on to say this was the best experience they've ever had and my sister and I knew it would hit it out of the ballpark for them! the owners, the chef, the service providers and the family are top tier excellence. I will always dine here for special occasions and when bringing friends and family to cape! Thank you for an incredible evening ❤️”

“Food was delicious! Definitely try the Corn Ribs appetizer - 10/10. Service was great. Just some small “nit-picks”. Sat outside because the weather was nice, but mainly chose to do so because it was freezing inside the restaurant. The tablecloth was very wrinkly and flies were bothering us (fly fans needed?) Also the patio is missing some decor (maybe greenery?). Surprised that there were only 6 tables occupied on a Saturday night .....”

“I had an official first date here. The owners were hosting a private party. We were unaware, but they were so gracious, they seated us in the basement in a comfy lounge type atmosphere. It was quiet and perfect for a first date and conversation. I do not drink very often, but chose to get an espresso martini which was absolutely delicious. Our time spent there was very enjoyable. The interior/exterior of the building is above and beyond expectations and the owners were above and beyond friendly, warm, inviting and kind. It made for a very memorable/lovely evening, and I truly enjoyed it. Definitely will be going back. Thank you so much!!”

“Great service, friendly staff and the manager/host was very accommodating. They made our retirement party awesome!! Thanks again!! March 21, 2025”

“You can feel the positive energy when you walk in the door..... keep it going .. fun and refreshing.”

“Decent food, only been there one time, at a recommendation from the people we were with. Somewhat familiar environment to other Sushi restaurants in other towns. Food choices were about the same but the pricing was more economical than similar Sushi restaurants.”

“A nice little Mexican restaurant in town - if you're looking for authentic peppers, cilantro (and their cilantro is WAY cheaper than Schnucks), go to this little place... You'll find a lot of items here you can't find anywhere else.”

“Stumbled upon this hidden gem while walking and exploring Downtown Cape Girardeau. Amazing display of music including cassettes, vinyl records, and cd's. Their record wall was astonishing and the atmosphere is very inviting. Drinks were well worth their price and the owner was super friendly and social. Will definitely be visiting again and highly recommend for anyone to try out. We had shots, coke/whiskey, and a Nudie Suit (Scientist Dub Mix) which included 6mg of THC”

Also My husband was very excited they had Superman ice cream (not many places outside of Michigan have it surprisingly).Our kids also love the flavors they got and they have a very nice selection of flavors as well. This ice cream shop is also very clean which is awesome as well. Would recommend stopping in and getting ice cream from here.”

“Today was our first time at Sand's Pancake house and it was amazing. Our little mixed Mexican American family never felt discriminated, and while the place was full, the service and the food were great. Don't listen to heaters, this place wouldn't lasted if it wasn't fantastic.”

“Amazing food, friendly staff, great atmosphere. My son and I thoroughly enjoyed our stop here!”

“We attended a class today where we learned how to make neapolitan pizza from dough to done! Sooo good. We were also treated to yummy appetizers and drinks. Learned how to make mixed berry crumble to take home. London and Cody were excellent hosts and instructors and all the staff were pleasant and helpful. Definitely recommend this as a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon!”

“It's always delicious, never fails.”

“Great food. Great people Great atmosphere Thanks for being in Cape”

“Best pizza ever. Been eating here for 50 years. Whenever I’m in town always buy a few half baked frozen pizzas to take home.”

“I have ordered take out several times now and everything is top notch! Goyza is some of the best in town! Sushi is amazing, would love more options! I picked up ramen today as I was under the weather and it was delicious they even honored my request to add some spice! A hidden gem you should support”

“Love the Pizza by the way! It took almost 40 minutes to order using the app. Fresh download. I have a 6 month old phone and by the time the order was finished the pickup time was too short. Had to go back in and select a new time and it took more than 5 minutes just to do that. App needs work, press a button and wait 10 seconds for it to activate.”

“Great place-great to work with! We've worked w Tys on community events for several years and they are top notch.”

“Amazing place, staff and food! We held a 21st birthday here and they were great to work with. There was about 70-80 people at one time and they rocked the service! Definitely 10 stars!”

“The most amazing food and incredible price! To see how hard these people work and how much they actually care about taking care of their customers is a rare find!!!”

“Great coffee. Wonderful family business. Wish I could go everyday!”

“best home style cooking I've had in a long time!”

“Their cookies are absolutely delicious! The detailing was spot-on perfectly, and the packaging looks cute. A bit pricey in my opinion, but it's worth it since their store is clean.”

“Some of the best micro-brew in the Heartland. If you like beer and like to experience beer that isn’t “normal” then you have to try Ebb & Flow.”

“I absolutely love this place and I love the fact that they have zero sugar Mountain Dew on their fountain for pop. Great food and great staff makes this place so special.”

“Shout- out to Madison & Tess for their exemplary service, including cheerful attitudes and bright smiles!”

“I always get an iced white mocha with caramel and I have never been disappointed. I also really enjoyed the French toast bagel for limited time. They’re friendly and have the best customer service. 10/10 😊”

“I adore Ziggis! They definitely compete with other drive through coffee places! They have larger size options and different specialties! I love that if I don’t know what I want they will give me a recommendation! And the chocolate covered espresso beans are EVERYTHING

Dietary restrictions: Non dairy options available”

“We ordered takeout today and every single thing we ordered was delicious from the cheese sauce, guacamole, enchiladas to the carnitas, beans and rice. We found our Mexican food restaurant that isn’t the same Americanized version as most.”

“Hands down, the best smashburger I've ever had. Looking forward to going again and trying something more specialized off the menu. Great food and reasonably priced.”

“Yummy buffet in Cape is the over all best Chinese (asian) restaurants in Southeast Missouri. My favorite frog legs and craw fish. I'm sure they hate when I eat there as I get my money worth from both. The staff are very friendly each and every time I eat there. Yummy Buffet is the only Chinese (asian) restaurants I will eat in the Cape area.”

“All the flavors, all the toppings, and so much more! Not to mention, the great workspace for small meetings while enjoying a refreshing sweet treat! Their frozen pies are also a family favorite for gatherings. They have it all...and it feels healthy too!”

“Coldest beer between here and Sturgis SD! And the bartenders and owners are awesome!!”

“My husband and I love Teriyaki Madness. The food is always fresh and delicious. I also love their rice and veggies. Perfect pick me up meal if you are a healthier eater. Thankful to have a place like this in Southeast MO.”

“Was a customer at your facility on 9/30/21. My experience was mixed. Started out with the drink that was delivered to my companion had a "gob" of hair stuck to the bottom of the glass. A manager seated us took our drink order and delivered our drink gave us menu's. We asked a passing waiter to please send Manager to our booth. She returned asking if she could help. My friend just held up the glass for her to see. She asked if he wanted another drink and apologized. Our waiter, Brian H upon bringing our order which we questioned the portion size of one of the orders (same order). , one plate seemed to be much smaller than the other. Brian said "I'll be back". He only came back when he brought the check. Very poor service. Food was good.”

“We had Cakes Reanimated cupcakes and cake for my husband’s birthday party. The cake was not only beautiful, but tasted great! Thank you, Cakes Reanimated!”

“I stopped by Tropical Smoothie Cafe for the first time and tried the Bahama Mama smoothie. Absolutely loved it. The flavor was perfectly sweet and refreshing, with just the right blend of berries and coconut. The staff was friendly, the service was quick, and the whole vibe of the place was super chill. I’ll definitely be coming back to try more! Highly recommend if you're looking for something tasty and refreshing.”

“Had lunch for the first time yesterday, highly recommend! The food was exceptional, the atmosphere was inviting and unique and Lisa was so welcoming! Will definitely be back!”

“Good food nice people and the restaurant is very nice”

“One of my favorite restaurants! I’ve never had a bad meal.”

“The food is delivered from other local restaurants for a small fee, like $4.00. The live music is nice, but a little loud, so it is hard to talk. The drinks we got were $14 a piece. The Expresso Martini is good. The Amazing Amy is a little sweet for my taste.”

“I’ll start off by saying I like sams club, and I know they chk receipts and I agreed to a membership allowing them to chk. But I will not wait behind 10-15 ppl standing in line to get my receipt looked at. I walked passed the ppl waiting cause my time is important. The lady checking receipt literally comes outside and stops me from walking. I told the lady I will not wait behind 10-15 ppl and she could not be outside stoping me from walking away. If your going to do this have more ppl checking receipts. But physically trying to stop someone from leaving is not the way to do business. My time is just as important as anyone else’s. If ppl choice to stand and wait that’s fine by me but if i choose not to wait don’t put ur hands on me or my stuff. Ur policy going to get someone hurt eventually.”

“Hunt Brothers Pizza is a great pizza for anybody searching for really good tasting food the employees are always very respectful their Pizza is also never undercooked or overcooked it is always just right with a perfect amount of toppings”

“While at the Poplar Bluff clinic October 2 I fell, and I would like to thank all the people that came to my aid, I'm sorry I don't know who they all were expect for Amy Robertson and Brandi Myers but again I thank all of you for staying with me until the EMTs arrived. Sharen Brinkman”

“My husband and I came in last Saturday night. I had a fantastic espresso martini made by Nick! They don’t carry Jose which my husband likes. The place is very pretty and staff were friendly.”

“Always great food and a courteous staff!”

“My family & I really enjoy this restaurant. We particularly love their tamales. I’m also a fan of the enchiladas Colima and I add green sauce to it. Also, the strongest margarita in the area… you can’t tell by drinking it, but one will have you turnt.”

“Food was great it got kinda pricey fast with me and my wife, a appetizer, burger and fries with mixed drinks ran is 56 dollars. But the music the workers and environment was cool and fun definitely worth a try”

“i have been waiting for this place to open for a very long time. my husband took me there to get my childhood favorite daiquiri ice only to get told they don't carry it or the bubblegum one. what a let down. i just left and went and got shaved ice instead. as well as you aren't greeted at the door either and everyone looked miserable working there. it hasn't been open long enough to be that way. now i know why there was one car there. I DO NOT RECOMMEND ...........”

“Best golden ale in southeast Missouri!”

“Jersey Mike's is always so good! Don't let it distract you from thinking it's a bad deal for 10-11 bucks for a regular sized sandwich. I got the Classic Italian and it was loaded with toppings (Mike's Way) as well as a few other toppings. More importantly, it was loaded with meat! It was definitely not skimpy on anything. The sandwich was really heavy. The regular sandwich is definitely more than enough for two people to share. Way way way better value than (cough cough) Chipotle which is so expensive for non-existent skimpy meat portions lol Jersey Mike's all the way!”

“This is the best Starbucks in town. Their drinks are always top tier. The service is amazing and the staff is friendly. The atmosphere is very cool. I won’t go anywhere else since discovering this gem.”

“I called for a strawberry cheesecake for my mother in law and it was the most amazing cheesecake we have ever had! The entire family loved it and there wasn’t a piece leftover! We love Socials!!!”

WAY better than the ones surrounding STL. Had to get after trip to Cape Splash. Keep doing what you're doing.”

“Have to give a shout out to Bobbie Jo Amazing service all around. Im usually a lemon pepper stepper 😆 but she recommended the Mojito lime pepper rub, it didnt let me down at all wings where crisp cooked perfectly i couldn't ask for a better service. First time trying Wings etc, but it won't be my last.”

“While the food is always tasty, it’s hard to enjoy it while shivering sitting in the restaurant.”

“They have a great group of team members! Fast and hardworking. We love coming to Qdoba for holidays and nights we just want to avoid cooking. Everything is always fresh and DELICIOUS!”

“Honestly a great place to hang out with friends! Went with a group today after the host of my group booked some time there, and we had a blast! Arcade was honestly great too! Bigger than i expected.”

“🍔 White Castle Review – Cape Girardeau, MO

Growing up with White Castle, it will ALWAYS hold a special place in my heart! Since moving to Mississippi, where there are no White Castle locations, stopping for sliders has become a MUST whenever we travel between Mississippi and Wisconsin!

This trip, we stopped in Cape Girardeau around 10 AM, and it was a great stop!

✨ Cleanliness: The restaurant was clean, and every table we saw was spotless! We even noticed staff outside cleaning the windows. Talk about attention to detail!

👏 Staff & Service: The employees behind the counter were working together and helping one another. Our order was simple, but I wanted my sliders plain, NO onions, NO pickles! 😂 So we always expect a small delay with special order.

While our order was being taken inside, a drive-thru order for 100 sliders came through! That understandably slowed things down a little, but our food was still fresh, hot, and delicious when it arrived.

🧅 Food Favorites: We love White Castle's onion rings, and the NEW pretzel bites are a great addition to the menu! Always fun to try something new while enjoying the classics.

There's just something about White Castle that brings back childhood memories and makes a road trip feel complete.

Another successful White Castle stop on our Mississippi-to-Wisconsin road trip! 🚗💨

Now, if only Mississippi would get a White Castle! Hint, hint! 😉🍔”

“We are so appreciative of this location letting us stay the night in our rv. We had problems with our truck and they were so “hospitable “! Entire staff was awesome! Food was awesome! Kathy who was working the counter was very friendly, gracious and helpful. We appreciate this Cracker Barrel staff!!”

“Simply Great Food. You should give Pho 8 a try.”

“My Pizza was burnt first time I have experienced this and apparently they don’t care about customer service when they send out a product like this”

“1st visit to Penn Station and was pleasantly surprised with the fresh cut potato fries!! They were delicious. I got the rueben sandwich and my son got the chicken parmesan sandwich. We were both very happy with our choices.”

“This is 'the' NY Style chinese take-out spot in Cape Girardeau.
Located in Central Cape-Girardeau, this unassuming spot delivers -consistency-.

The ingredients are fresh. The bell peppers, carrots, and green beans are all bright in color.
The kitchen is quick (around 10 minutes for a to-go order for two)
The vegetables are always cooked al-dente and kept crisp, not cooked into oblivion.

We've had
Beef and Broccoli, Spicy Beef, Szechuan Chicken, Orange Chicken, Sesame Chicken, Fried Rice, Kung Pao Chicken, and Dumpling Soup.

We've been to every Chinese take-out spot in Cape Girardeau, this one for me is the most consistent and closest to what you'll expect for NY style takeout.

The atmosphere is typical Chinese NY Take-out spot. Frenetic Pace, open concept with a fully visible kitchen and a dated overhead 'backlit' paper menu.

It's wonderful.”

“we went on the training days. very good food and the servers were friendly”

“Colton our waiter could not be any more helpful true asset to your company”

“As soon as Louise dropped six creamers on the table, along with my freshly brewed coffee, I knew I had an exceptional server. Food delicious, coffee cup always full, and love the diner atmosphere. Thank you,Louise, for making our dining out experience worthwhile!”

“El Acapulco knows flavors a lot better than other Mexican restaurants in town. I just had their Baja Fish Tacos and they rivaled ( or maybe even surpassed) the ones I used to have when I lived in California.”

“You all are the best crew ever!! Always positive and friendly (:”

“This was a great customer service experience. I went through the drive thru to order. The drive thru experience can usually become difficult due to long waiting or missed information,but the young lady was so professional with how she handled our order even with the misunderstanding. My wife and I was very thankful for her making adjustments for our orders. Thank you all!”

“Ordered a pretty big order today and they were very fast and accurate!!”

“This evening around 7:30 I ordered a sandwich in the drive trough...my sandwich was awesome and the service was top notch and efficient...I know this subway is locally owned and it means so much that y’all are still open during this time in our country ...just wanted to say thank you and keep up the great work ...Shop local and support local families ❤️❤️🇺🇸🇺🇸”

“I had a really great experience at Subway! The food was fresh, everything was made exactly how I wanted it, and the service was great. Keegan was especially friendly and helpful, and made the whole experience even better. You can tell he really cares about giving customers good service. Definitely one of the better Subway experiences I’ve had, and I’ll definitely be coming back!”
