Uncle Ernie's

Stumbled on to this nice bar food restaurant. Great deals/prices. Most accommodating to me and food allergies, very grateful. So good we drove all the way from St. Louis on a Saturday to treat my husband. He got catfish strips and loved them. Of course spiral chips and fries did not disappoint. Whether you live close or need a drive this is a must try.

I was pleasantly surprised by the meal that we had here. The portion sizes were huge and the quality of the food that we had was outstanding. It's been a long time since I've been to a mom and pop's that serves homemade french fries. They were cooked exactly as we asked. And another thing that really stood out to me was when I asked for a water with lemon they actually gave me a whole slice of lemon instead of just a half a slice! The staff was friendly as can be so there's no doubt in my mind I will be coming back to this place more often.

Since I tried this place based off of google reviews I figured I might as well add my own. Our family had spent the day around the Maramec Springs area, and while making the trek back towards St. Louis we got hungry. Mom did the googling and we ended up finding a forever kind of spot. That was in 2018 and as of a couple days ago in 2022 we still frequent this establishment. The food and staff are great. There's a couple of pool tables, a bar, and some arcade style games for entertainment too. ***The zucchini fries and anything with bacon on it are definitely worth a try.

This place deserves way more than just ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ....
The service may have been the best I've ever had and the food was top notch. I ordered the loaded spiral chips and an Ernie melt....let me just say if you've ever wanted to have a Philly cheese steak mixed with a grilled cheese sandwich. It is literally hard for me to describe how great this sandwich was.... All I can say is my sister, my Dad and I all got one. 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🥰🥰🥰
My mom had a Jr. Ernie burger and was completely satisfied, which is almost never the case. It is a must try. It's totally family friendly with cheap candy games, pool and air hockey.
And I may mention their pineapple juice was some of the best I've ever tasted. Put Uncle Ernie's on the trip from now on. 👍😉😉

Another tucked away place but right in "downtown" Bourbon MO. 6pm Saturday and every seat was taken...but look at those pics...that is why! Hubs had the catfish sandwich and I had the smothered chicken sandwich which was perfect grilled chopped chicken, green peppers, onions and mushrooms on a homemade roll that would rival any bakery from "The Hill " (in St.L).

Folks around us ordered magazine cover page worthy burgers (definitely trying those next time) but our selection for the night was delicious!

Plan on a little longer than usual wait..they even say that on the menu...but y'all...it is worth every second of waiting! We ordered as an appetizer the smothered homemade chips and those did not disappoint!

So try out this place, slow down and visit with the face across the table and enjoy some darn good grub!
