In town for Mizzou game. Staying at hotel nearby. Expected a wait on Sunday..considering the size ( a counter with 8 seats and 10 tables).and the place's popularity. Wait was about 30 min on Sunday. Not bad. Staff killed it....all friendly. Chloe....Sarah our server all wonderful. Food came out 5-10 minutes and nothing seemed "precooked "...except maybe the bacon....but that's standard in any breakfast restaurant....food was perfect
Small old school cafe. The servers were killing it. The food was good. My daughter said the French toast was it. The KC strip and Filet were nicely peppered and seasoned with garlic. The steak cuts seemed like a Sysco factory cut but had decent texture and flavor. We will go again.
These people are Grade-A! It's easy to overlook the experience and expertise with which Ernie's is most undeniably operating upon. Especially given the ease and fluidity with which it all goes without a hitch. Let's just say my party probably wasn't typical, nor without needing constant accommodation, not to mention the circumstances did tend to demand attention from fellow diners... But I wouldn't have noticed...In fact, I didn't. Instead I was able to lose myself in the hazy, warm, butter and maple syrup flash flood that delivered unto me a most perfect Belgium Waffle, and not having been made to feel any type of way about that except extremely satisfied....I also have to mention the charismatic and quite witty host, who seemed to usher all of us, cooks, dishwasher, fellow patrons, through the goings-on and cacophonous restaurant percussion safely through to the satiated after-glow and departure-- even though I'd have loved to stay. The server was professional and warm, not one coffee cup neglected and our orders were returned with no mistakes and all specifications happily met. A true gem, and I'm guessing a local favorite. If ever I return to Columbia, returning to Ernie's for breakfast Will be a no-brainier!
Favorite breakfast in CoMo.
Ernies is a small diner so don’t be surprised if you have to wait. We had breakfast on a Friday morning and the place was packed so opted for sitting at the counter! What did I like best? They cooked my eggs perfect! I order over-medium and they did it right (no one ever gets the medium right)! Crispy hashbrowns, perfectly toasted rye bread and they kept the coffee flowing. Friendly staff who worked together like synchronized ballet performers behind the small counter and kitchen area. I would definitely recommend Ernies for breakfast and it is worth a little waiting!
