Hearty American comfort food plated at The Apple Basket Cafe
Macon, Missouri

Comfort Food, Cooked from Scratch

A Macon, Missouri cafe where slow-roasted beef, hand-breaded chicken, and homemade pie have kept plates full since sunrise.

Real Food, Made by Hand

At The Apple Basket Cafe, comfort food isn't a slogan - it's the whole day's work. We slow-roast our beef until it pulls apart in tender chunks, hand-bread every chicken breast and tenderloin, and whip up mashed potatoes and gravy the old-fashioned way. Our pies and dumplings come out of the same little kitchen that has kept Macon fed since sunrise. Honest portions, friendly faces, and flavors that taste like home - that's the small-town welcome we serve on every plate.

Southwest Omelet was absolutely delicious just the right amount of fresh ingredients the Texas toast was buttered to perfection and the hash browns were just right the sausage links are the good kind not the cheap stuff most places use 10/10 will order breakfast from this place again as soon as I have the money!
