Reviews for Mark Twain Dinette: Maid-Rite Restaurant and Diner in Hannibal, MO

We were sat right away (2pm). Server was extremely attentive and pleasant. Oreo milkshake was really good but the food was not.... I got 1 Maid-Rite, a house salad, and a cup of chili. I'm not a fan of the loose, unseasoned meat on the Maid-Rite. Glad I onlyordered one. The chili tasted like old tomato paste. I'd rather eat Wendy's glob of chili. Boyfriend got a burger, and it wasso-so. Definitely a tourist trap. It reminds me of a cheap Cracker Barrel with the gift shop. Read more

This was a nice place to stop to decompress while traveling. It was very open in the front and mostly quiet. The seating did... look a little tight in the back. It was not very busy around 2pm; however, good enough traffic that makes me think around normaleating times they could have a wait. I tried the half Pork Chop sandwich. It was really good. Unfortunately, I did find thepork chop to be pretty thin in comparison to many places I have visited. The sides were barely more than a coupletablespoonfuls. The green beans were okay and the baked beans tasted like cheap canned beans. The best value of all was theblackberry cobbler and ice cream. Worth every penny! Ultimately, I would stop here again after trying other places aroundtown first. Read more

The restaurant was clean and cozy. You'll go in looking for your favorite dish but can't help shopping at different stands with... trinkets, puzzles, games and toys. FYI - the food was hot, flavorful and delicious. You'll find this jewel tucked away at thebottom of the hill next to a gentle body of water. Read more

What a great little place. We were greeted at the door by a very friendly woman. It was a really hot day, 100 degrees with an... Excessive Heat Warning, and this woman sat us with consideration of the heat. She found a table near a celling fan. We werevery thankful. We came in for root beer floats using the homemade root beer. There were fabulous! Nice place. Great stop. Friendly staff. Read more

We had a few classics, a burger, chili, and onion rings. The place serves homemade root beer with free refills. For was really... good and the place was clean. They are starting a game room on the weekends, or something. They had lots of designer games forsale. Read more

I haven't had a Maid-Rite in a very long time, and theirs didn't disappoint. The staff was young, but so helpful and kind. This... would be a great place to take a family with young kids. Especially with the attached game store right there! Clean dining areaand gender neutral restrooms. I would definitely go again for a fast and innexpensive bite to eat. Read more

The Home Made Old Fashioned Root Beer is spectacular! Had a great lunch there. The dipping sauce they sent with the onion rings... was made in-house and was superb. The staff was awesome. The Tenderloin was enormous and delicious.. Almost needed two buns.. Read more
