IDK Cafe

We visited this cafe after reading about it in the Rural Missouri magazine. We were also told about it by our neighbors. I had the fried chicken with spicy fried green beans. The chicken was fried perfectly. It was lightly coated and crispy, which didn't take away from the chicken flavor. The chef knows how to fry chicken. All the pieces of chicken were very juicy. The fried green beans were great. I never had green beans that way before, and I was surprised how good they were. I will go back and try more items off the menu. I do recommend this place for a great meal and at a great value. This also included drinks, 1 appetizer, and dessert.

I had so missed IDK! So today was re-opening day! Want to say it is beautiful. I'm so happy for Shannon and the many that worked to help her rebuild after the tornado 🌪 🙌 ❤

IDK cafe has excellent food and great service. The prices are very reasonable. Their fried chicken is superb and there are so many homemade sides and desserts to choose from. IDK cafe has a wonderful small town atmosphere. It brings back memories of eating with my grandparents and dad at the ma and pa cafes in Lancaster when I was young. There is smoking permitted so my only complaint about atmosphere is when I can smell secondhand smoke from a nearby smoker. The quality cooking makes up for it though!

Best pancakes ever!! Shannon's fried chicken is to die for. Every thing she makes is delicious! The new place is beautiful!! So happy for you Shannon!! Breakfast 🥞 we're excellent!!

An excellent small restaurant I’ve enjoyed over the years, especially the tenderloin. The restaurant was hit by a tornado 5 days ago, and it appears it will be rebuilt just across the street from this original location. I look forward to the reopening!

The best home cooked food you will find around Knox County. The portions are big and the price is small. Well done IDK Cafe.
