Both pieces of pie were fresh and extremely tasty! I had to force myself to slow down because I just wanted to gobble them up. They didn’t skimp on the serving size and they sure didn’t skimp on the flavor either!
During the early afternoon time that I was there, the servers were all young men. They were very efficient. They did their jobs well.
The cafe interior had that charming country ambiance and all was clean.
The fried chicken is absolutely amazing here and the lasagna might be the best lasagna I've ever had. I wasn't wild about the mashed potatoes but at least they were real potatoes and not packaged. We tried the banana meringue and the coconut meringue and they were both delicious. Cute homey place as well!
The atmosphere was very old timey and cute. We were on a 14 hour drive and saw the sign for foot-high pie so we had to stop. Their bathrooms were very unique. Due to the small stall they made the toilets diagonal giving you plenty of room. The food smelled delicious but we only got the pie. I got the blackberry pie and they gave me a good sized slice, plus the pie contained actual blackberries. Some of the best pie I have had. We are planning on stopping here next time we are around there for actual food.
The Blue Springs Cafe is home to “Foot High Pies”. I was passing through and couldn’t resist that claim to fame.
From the outside, this cafe looked like just about any cafe you’d find along any highway. It was easy to access off of the interstate and had plenty of parking.
I’ll make a point to stop here on my next time through this area.
Their lunch and dinner selections were many and all the food I saw served looked well made, delicious, and portioned generously.
As I walked closer toward the entrance, I noticed they had a nice entryway and then a second doorway to go through. The entryway had a country style homey feel to it. It really set the stage. A sign said to seat yourself. Another sign listed their specials.
I was there for those “Foot High Pies” though! I had a piece of cherry pie and a piece of lemon pie. The lemon pie was definitely “Foot High”!
Must have cash on hand when you go here but they do have a ATM if you need it. Tried it out for the first time ever yesterday and I really enjoyed it. Their fried chicken is very crispy and just right! Their ribs are fall of the bone! And their homemade sausage is very good! It's a home style diner and I would definitely recommend this place. I'm sure I will be back to try other items on their menu. By the way, I also had their banana meringue pie and it was good. Never had meringue before.
Service was wonderful, helpful and bright. A good down home atmosphere with locals and travelers alike. There food was, okay. Good for travel for but I would not go out of my way as a dedication for it. The pie on the other hand was wonderful and fresh, certainly worth the stop. I did dock a whole star for being cash or check only with very poor signage to indicate this. There is an ATM at the front of the restaurant, but that does not excuse this very lacking amenity.
They had many fantastic looking pies on display. I would have loved to have taken some home with me, but I was heading out on a Work trip.
