Absolutely the best little cafe in KC! Unless you are a big eater, you will be leaving with a TOGO Box. Absolutely the best Cheeseburger in town. Hands down!!! Family owned, and they make you feel like family. So worth every dollar you spend. Linda the owner is not just your ordinary owner; she truly knows the business through and through and is extremely passionate when it comes to satisfying your needs and your tastebud!

This place was hopping on a Saturday around 11 am with people finishing up breakfasts and starting to arrive for lunch. We found a seat and I ordered a tenderloin sandwich, Mom got a chicken fried chicken meal. Ordering was fast, but it did take quite a while for our food to arrive. Probably being one of the first tables to order lunch influenced the timing. As you'll see in pictures others have posted of the food, the portions are HUGE. I ate my delicious fries and a few bites of tenderloin and Mom had some nibbles around on hers and we were already full so we packaged up our leftovers to take home. We ended up eating 4 meals EACH out of what we'd ordered! Mom said the breading on her chicken wasn't very flavorful. My breading was fine, but it does seem to be a different coating on the two items. Minus one star for the comfy, but very soiled seats that looked like 25 years of science experiments gone wrong.

The largest pork tenderloin I have ever had. I only wish I would have saw the daily special of fried chicken before I ordered.

What a fantastic diner. It is is the confines of the beautiful and historic down town Pleasant Hill and compliments the area spectacularly. The wait staff is friendly and helpful. The portions are large and the food is off the chart delicious. I love this restaurant.

Big Creek is the quintessential country café. It's just off the downtown square of tiny Pleasant Hill, MO about 20 miles Southeast of the greater KC area. They serve breakfast all day and some of the best comfort food you've ever had. If you have an aversion to carbs, then stay away - stay very far away. A couple blocks away is the Big Creek Show Place where they have a fun live country music show every Saturday night at 7:30 pm. As you might guess, Big Creek Café starts getting jammed up a few minutes after 6 pm every Saturday, full of customers who intend to eat dinner prior to the show. I always try to be there by 6 pm to make sure I don't have to wait for a seat. Let me tell you about their crispy, flaky, pounded thin pork tenderloin. It's probably my 3rd favorite pork tenderloin in the KC area, which also means it's about the 3rd best in the world. You won't believe how big it is. The size of the tenderloin is at least 3 times the size of the hamburger bun it's served on. I always cut around the bun and take the other 2/3 of my pork tenderloin home with me and make two more sandwiches with the leftovers. The also serve the pork tenderloin "Chicken Fried Steak style" without a bun and covered with gravy with a side of mashed potatoes Their open-faced roast beef sandwich with thick brown gravy is always a hit with my wife. They also serve hamburgers, meatloaf, salads, sandwiches (such as ruebens) and I love their breakfasts, particularly the biscuits and gravy. They have a fun special each night, usually tacos on Saturday nights, and their homemade pies are always delicious. They also have kids meals and some "senior-sized" meals for smaller appetites. You'll notice a model train track hanging from the ceiling in the dining room. It's a fun touch but for some reason the train only runs occasionally. They should run the train every day in my opinion. The servers are always very helpful and upbeat, and the entire restaurant exudes a friendly family atmosphere. If you enjoy down-home cooking, you'll like Big Creek Café.
