Thee Abbey Kitchen Arcadia Academy

Stopped in randomly for a bite to eat after a long camping weekend in Lesterville. The food was outstanding as was the service. We had the pleasure of getting served by the owner, who took his time to fill us in on the history of this gorgeous place, shared his story, and got to witness his daughter, who among other family members works with him, play a little prank on him! Our random visit will most definitely be remembered, and of course, we will come back! It deserved more than 5 stars! Food drinks: Food was outstanding!

Just in for breakfast before a hike. Some of the friendliest service I've had at a restaurant. Great food

Eat the homemade specialized ice cream, first! The food is delicious and reasonable amount to share. It's kinda far from home but a beautiful drive on 21 MoByway. Can't wait for Wild Ones to begin this project to beautify with Native Flowers! Noteworthy details: Close to Tip Top Scenic view, Tom Sauk and Elephant Rock and other places.

I brought the family here for dinner after a float trip. We were staying at a bungalow just up the street. Dinner was outstanding. I had a hard time choosing a meal. There is a salad bar. The service was good. The prices are reasonable. An owner was our waiter. He was friendly, informative and fun to talk to. We decided to have breakfast here the next morning, too. That was also very good. They also had fresh food for sale that comes from bakery. My wife loved the cinnamon roles. I had the biscuits and gravy and shared some French toast with the kids. It was all very good. They also have a creamery next to the restaurant that serves frozen custard. We stopped here after dinner. We all enjoyed our custard. There selection limited but they had all the popular flavors. The building is historic and definitely has a presence. I've driven by it many times over the years and had no idea there was a restaurant here! The atmosphere is relaxed and quaint. All-in-all the food and experience was good and we hope to stop here again some day. Nearby activities: The black river stands out for float trips. The state park has plenty of hiking. It includes the largest waterfall in the state of Missouri. Johnson's shut-ins and elephant rock are both in proximity. Food drinks: The food is tasty and fresh. There are quite a few good options to pick from. I had a hard time deciding what to order. The service was very good.

Love this restaurant and I highly recommend. Service was slow while they were busy but then we had plenty of attention. We actually went twice over the weekend while camping in the area. Check it out. Beautiful old buildings with plenty of character. Employees are very friendly. Food was good. And the cinnamon rolls. Wow. Very tasty!!!
