One of the victims of the 2017 Curent River flood was the Float Stream restaurant in this town, so we weren't sure where we were going to get breakfast. the Springhouse Cafe more than fills the bill as a replacement and then some. Breakfast for...two at $8 per person and under $20 for a couple. We ate there two days, and had the two egg breakfast with meat and half order of biscuits and gravy one morning, and French Texas Toast the next, filled the bill for a good country starter. Run by young people, they were friendly, efficient and happy, fulfilling every request. We did have a small adventure, when we asked for hot tea, we were given an ice tea sized teabag, which made us happy, though we did tell the owner that they could have gotten smaller sized teabags; in the future. Didn't matter: it was morning and we had our tea, something that is sometimes is an issue in rural Missouri. Right now they only do breakfast and lunch. Hope they are successful enough that they add dinner in the future. a modestly priced dinner in the future. Really like this place.More

Had their breaded pork tenderloin. I could hear them pound it by hand it the kitchen before they fried it. Excellent. Would come again.

Fun lunch experience! This may have been the best catfish I have found (so far, I'm still searching). 3 big filets , had to take 1 home. Seasoned fries with it were very good. My wife's burger was good, mashed potatoes and gravy were an...awesome side. The other customers were all friendly with conversations bouncing all around. We just wish we could have tried some dessert.More

We stopped in while visiting from Texas to enjoy the Current River and visit nearby family. Thought we would give this place a try. The food was good, massive pancakes! Know that if you stop in and order one! However, the waitress we had was...super unfriendly… no hello, no how are you, no emotion even… never even knew her name… didn’t introduce herself at all… the only time she came back to check on us was when she delivered our food… this place isn’t large, maybe 10 or 15 tables tops, they had 3 waitresses and an extra host… took awhile to get our food but it wasn’t too bad. Just greatly disappointed in the service. Short staffed couldn’t have been an excuse for that one.More

We stopped for a quick lunch here. Pancakes were huge but cooked just right. Wie,s omelet with sausage was good. As early for lunch, quick service but place could get busy. Several locals eating here. Not much else around. Quirky but worth a stop.

This is a great country cafe. Nothing fancy, just good. I had the grilled catfish. Tasty and plentiful. My husband had the fried catfish sandwich. It was huge and delicious. The hush puppies were homemade and delicious. Service was friendly. Will be back.

A friend and I stopped in for dinner. I ordered the Pork Tenderloin and my friend ordered the hamburger. Both were exceptional. The onion rings were great. Our server worked all the tables by herself and did an excellent job as business picked up. This...is a good stop.More

Great Breakfast! We ate as a family mid - morning. The food was good, two had the three meat omelet, I had eggs, bacon toast and the last of us had French toast. Everyone enjoyed. The wait staff (just one girl was working) was overwhelmed...by the amount of people that showed up. I imagine it’s hard to predict if it will be busy or not besides on weekends! I would definitely recommend!More

As we were coming back from a weekend on the Eleven Point River with my son’s and their scout troop, we found the little gem run by the Dorris family. They served us as if we were family and truly made us feel at home....Country fried chicken was a hit and the boys were also a big fan of the massive pancakes. If you’re looking for some fine home cooking from a wonderful family, stop in at the Springhouse!More

We were on vacation and couldn’t find many good places off hwy 60 to eat. Then I found this great little cafe online. The tenderloin was delicious. Huge cinnamon rolls! The staff is so friendly. We loved our server Pearl.
