Lambert's Cafe is known for their country cooking and throwed rolls.

Lambert's Cafe opened in Sikeston in 1942. Now there are three locations (two in Missouri) and while the new establishments may be bigger than the original, the food and classic rolls remain the same.

There is typically a wait but the dining rooms are large so your group can usually be seated pretty quickly.

The portions are huge so be sure to bring your appetite.

When you're ready for a roll simply call out the waiter or hold up your hand. Soon a roll will be sailing across the room toward you, be sure to catch it!

The warm home-style rolls are really the highlight of Lambert's Cafe.

While Lambert's Cafe may seem a bit touristy, it is a dining experience every Missourian must try.

Find the Sikeston location at 2305 E. Malone and the Ozark location at 1800 W. State Hwy J.
