Blue Springs Cafe

I first went to this restaurant in about 2005. At that time, I only had a piece of their apple pie, which was great.
Stopped by a couple more times over the years on the way to Lake Carlyle and had lemon meringue pie. Amazing!
In the last couple of years we've found it to be well worth the drive from St. Louis for several other items on the menu, along with the pies. Yes, there's a theme going.
Every dish I've had has been excellent. Service is very good.
No complaints!

Have gone here for over 30 years. Great food and service. Pies are amazing. Make sure to save room.

Stopped in on my way to the day Louis airport when I saw a sign "Blue Springs cafe as seen on food network". Well being the goodie that I am stopped in. Cute diner you would find in any no name town all over middle America.

First thing I noticed was the mile high pies right when you walk in. The waitress said sit anywhere you want. Sat down and looked at the menu. Very simple but lunch was 10.95 with 2 sides. I ordered the cod. Had the cole slaw which is a vinegar based slaw and the pickled beets. If course I asked is everything made from scratch? And she said yes.

The wait was long for lunch with only about 9 people in the dining room. The sides came out first but I like to eat all my lunch at one time. I nibbled at the slaw and beets which were very good. The cod sandwich came with tartar sauce and 1 slice of white bread for 2 pieces of cod. I couldn't eat it like a sandwich cuz the bread wouldn't hold up. I ate just the cod. The breading was a corn meal base but it was tasty. The cod was cooked perfectly, glistening like Gordon Ramsey says. Really good cod.

Once I finished I had to try a piece of pie. Ordered the blueberry. There were very tall meringue pies of all kinds. Lemon, chocalate, custard etc. just want to try a regular blueberry pie. It was one of the best I had eaten. The crust was flaky and delicious. The blue berries were very small so I think they were maybe frozen? Nonetheless delicious.
Next time I'm back will go in and try something else.

Big BTW they don't accept credit cards. Cash only.

Beyond amazing and fresh pies. Get there early. When they are gone, they are gone. Home cooking at its best.

You are a fool if you do not come here.
I had the best turkey dinner of my life.
If you do not stop here instead of Arby's you are beyond saving.

This is a quaint little cafe that you will find right off of the highway. There is a huge private parking lot to park and there is a decent sized dining area to eat. This is a cash only joint, so in other words, yes, I had to pay the ATM that they had on-site, a visit.

The staff there is very friendly and this place has a nice mix of transient patrons, such as myself and loyal regulars. The restaurant has a down home, country vibe and is very low key. They serve diner favorites such as burgers, sandwiches, meatloaf, chicken, roast beef, lasagna, and walleye. They also have a wide assortment of amazing pies. This place is home to Foot High Pies including coconut, chocolate, banana and lemon. They also have fruit pies (Blueberry, blackberry, apple, cherry, peach, strawberry rhubarb, and chocolate chip pecan.

I ordered some of their fried chicken with a side of baked beans and french fries for me and chicken tender with fries for the littles. It took about 15 minutes for us to get my food. It was fresh and hot. The chicken was good, but was definitely not up there with the best that I have ever had. I really liked the fries and the baked beans were different from the normal ones, but were really good too.

Of course, I could not leave there without getting some pie. I snagged a slice of their blackberry pie. You have the option of getting it heated and with a scoop of ice cream. I asked for mine to be heated, but they must have forgot and I got it cold. It was good either way. I really enjoyed it. I wish I could have taken a whole pie home, but I was traveling and it would not have worked.

I recommend checking this place out. They have some friendly staff, eye catching and delicious pies, some good food and a very laid back atmosphere. I enjoyed my visit here and it was a welcomed stop on my way to St. Louis.

I've driven by the Blue SPrings Cafe many times while traveling I-70 between Columbus and Denver but wwe were never passing through at either lunch or dinner time. This trip the timing was right and we stopped for a late lunch.

I had the walleye fillets with pickled beets and a vinegar based Cole slaw while my wife had the crab cakes with side salad and soup of the day. The food was excellent as was the service. Considering the time (it was after 1p), I was surprised at how busy the restaurant was.

Their signs advertise foot high pies. And they had a nice assortment of foot high cream pies and an equally nice selection of other fruit and assorted pies. Unfortunately I can't vouch for the pies since we didn't have room for pie after eating lunch. And I didn't want to eat too much and get drowsy while driving. But I CAN ATTEST that the pies LOOKED WONDERFUL.

We're going to time a future trip so we can stop here again.

We stopped here for lunch on our way home from St.Louis. It is standing at a highway exit as the only restaurant in sight there... but that's not the reason we went here. I had read good reviews and I knew it would be good.
As you enter you see a bunch of pies on the counter. They all look great.
I liked how they have many lunch special options. I had fried chicken with mashed potato and green beans- oh boy that's a LOT of food for under $10! Great. It's hard to find this type of generosity in the city for sure. Food took longer than preferred.
Service was good. But they are cash only. There is an ATM inside. I wonder what keeps them from accepting credit cards- it would be so much more convenient to everyone if they did.
Overall, it was a good stop on our road trip.

Saw this place thanks to a billboard. The pies are fabulous! $5/slice. Good service. Clean restroom.

Menu? Well, do you like liver and gizzards? Walleye? Catfish? This might be your place. Fellow says truckers eat that stuff why has no one yelped about the liver? I need a selfie, PLEASE!

I have been coming here for over 20
Years and they make the best pies Best I've ever had. It's a family and they are wonderful Every single person that works there is kind, efficient and truly cares. The food is absolutely home made
And always fresh. The quality and the quantity are
Exceptional

I'll continue to come here for years !! I travel
Between Ohio and Colorado as a hospice nurse but now retired and I still come back every year!! Thank you so so much
