Reviews for Cliffside Cafe in Noel, MO
(Party of 2) We were super excited to try this restaurant because we had seen the signs all around town of the ?Cliffside Cafe?.... It was also super close to where we were staying and floating so it was super convenient. Upon arrival, we were ignored for afew minutes before the nice waitress let us know that we could sit anywhere (No ?self seating? signage). After getting ourdrinks and ordering our food, we waited around 45 minutes for our food to come out . (Appetizers included) There was some foodmissing so we gently reminded the waitress, no big deal. As we began eating, we noticed that the food was cold and dry. Whileeating, the other waitress was coming into the seating area and just shouting what she has instead of taking it to the correcttable. There were multiple people waiting there before us that still didn?t have their food. The nice waitress that was helpingus didn?t even work for the restaurant, she just came in occasionally when they needed help. The restaurant itself wasunorganized and dirty. The owner needs to invest in the look and feel of the restaurant as well as hiring more help. Aftereating our subpar food and not receiving a single check back, we were eager to get out of there. There were customers from alldirections asking where there food was, while at the same time employees were arguing over turning the ?open? sign off. This wasa disaster to watch. One of the waitresses even said ?this isn?t even a bad night?. I can?t even IMAGINE what a bad night lookslike. Upon the exit to our car, there was an employee smoking in the front of the restaurant and two cooks in the back of therestaurant smoking. While customers are inside waiting and growing impatient with the extended wait times! Overall it was not agreat experience and I wouldn?t recommend anyone go to this spot until the owner takes action. Read more
Good mom and pop if that is what you are looking for. The all you can eat catfish was delicious, everyone in my party enjoyed... their meals. Fast service with friendly people. I can only give it five stars, or there would be more! Read more
We had gone here for breakfast a year ago and remember it being good. We went for dinner last weekend and were blown away. We... both got bacon cheeseburgers with curly fries and onion rings. Our food was fast, hot, and really good. We both commented thatit was one of the best burgers we've had in a while. We came back for breakfast the next morning. I got the sausage breakfastburrito and added 1 pancake. I'm not usually one to pick a breakfast burrito, but it sounded good and boy it did not disappoint!The pancake was also amazing; it was crisp on the outside and sweet and fluffy inside. Probably was one of the better pancakesI've had it a while also. The waitstaff we had was great. And I tried to make sure I gave compliments all around. While theestablishment is small and has a rugged appearance, the food couldn't be beat! I will be going here every time I come to Noel. Read more
One of the best places I've been in a long time now. Excellent service, very chill relaxed atmosphere. And amazing great quality... food. The homemade ranch is addictive and the fried okra is perfection. also had the best salad I've ever had in my life. It'scertainly worth more repeat trips. Read more
Friendly staff, great food and beautiful scenery. Will definitely visit again if I'm ever in the area.
I'm a huge fan of dives so when I refer to this place as a dive -- I mean it with tons of love! We will be going back for... sure! My husband got down on their ham & bean special while my bacon mushroom swiss burger was was yummy! They have betterfried pickles than most and the service was excellent. Read more
I wish I would've eaten here soon than I did, but I'm glad I decided to eat here instead of pizza. I was treated not only to a... great meal with a twist, but I was able to enjoy my meal in a comfortable atmosphere that wasn't pushy on anything. Whether itwas my server, a cook, or even the owner; someone made sure I was not neglected. It's been a long time since I've visited aplace like this in a while that remembers what true customer service is suppose to or once existed. Read more
The special was beans and cornbread. Sounded different. The beans were not to bad. Had some meat in it. Not seasoned very well.... The cornbread was awful. Instead of light and fluffy, it was dense, wet and almost chewy, as well as tasteless. It came with"home fries" which were just cubes of frozen potatoes that were undercooked and again, tasteless. Add in the place was dirty andrun down and that explains why we won't be back. Read more
