The Grand Cafe

Ordered the open faced meatloaf sandwich. Traded the chips for their Brussels sprouts and will order the sprouts again every time I visit. I would rate the food 6 stars if possible. My companion stated that was the best chicken Caesar salad she has ever eaten. Our price per person got pushed up a little bit because we added desert. Plan on spending $20 per person plus tip here for lunch if you avoid alcohol.

Kevin was our main server and he is fantastic. The employees seemed to work as a team so the service was wonderful as we never wanted for anything. Food was excellent and very reasonably priced. I would come here alot if I lived here. Kevin makes a great Manhattan!!

Went to The Grand for dinner and it was a great experience all around. It wasn't too busy, but that's not the norm usually. I was seated and waited on very promptly, and Carrie was exceptionally attentive and made sure I had drinks full and she kept me entertained all the while. Food was good and plenty of it! ???? Will definitely be back again!

So I found this place online cause I'm kind of a foody and make it a mission to visit at least a few places whatever town I may be in, I will start saying the service itself was fine, the hostess and server were very nice and both gave food suggestions, but I do have to say when you come to this place the amount of food and quality of food doesn't fit the price you are paying. The restaurant itself is small and tucked into downtown Jeff City, nice location, kind of loud but they have added some padding on the walls to counteract that. I will say before I start on food that whomever was in the kitchen did a great job of plating, food was well presented. I got the meatloaf with mashed potatoes and butternut squash. The meatloaf itself without the sauce (which they don't give a lot of) was dry and not very seasoned. The mashed potatoes were good tasting but not very smooth still quite clumpy. The squash I will say was good tasting and cooked well. My friend got the lamb lollipops with mashed potatoes and maple-glazed carrots. There was very little lamb on the bones: about 5 bites worth... The carrots were okay, nothing special. His mashed potatoes were the same. Overall we both individually paid at least 30 dollars for food that was mostly bland and not very filling. Will not be back which is unfortunate cause I try to give everyone a second chance but for the price, I don't think I can risk that! Here is to hoping I caught the kitchen on a bad night as it was rather busy...

This amazing cafe is a gem in Jefferson City! My son and I had the pleasure of enjoying a delicious lunch here and truly enjoyed the staff! The food is amazing and the atmosphere is just as good. I will be stopping here again!
