Blue Grass Restaurant

The Bluegrass is a very dependable choice for good food and friendly service.  The owners and managers are the best, and that hospitality is evident in their staff.  Try the catfish, it's great!

My wife and I stopped in for the buffet, after a harrowing Friday night drive through Cairo. Their buffet has many golden-brown goodies on it. TGI Fried, right? The catfish that I ate was good, though I was scared of the whole catfish (sans head). The soup was homemade, meaning it was ugly. But still good.

Wood paneling, a relic of the '70s, lined the walls, but the place had the hospitality of that golden age too. One of the waitresses gave us the low-down on Cairo, a fascinating and harrowing town. The owner was very friendly and loved talking with us about Chicago and Greektown. He gave us a piece of pie! Now that's friendly. I don't get no free pie in Chicago suburbia, that's for sure.

We likely won't be back, as we live so far away. But if we were closer, we'd stop in. It's the kind of place you want to stumble across while driving along the backwater roads of America.

An absolutely INCREDIBLE dining experience!  Stumbled on Blue Grass while enroute to Florida.  The catfish was THE BEST I HAVE EVER HAD!!!!!  It was amazing.  Great staff.  Great friendly atmosphere.  Everyone knows everyone.  It's worth the drive from Kansas City!!!!!
