What a fantastic discovery in Boonville, MO! We enjoyed our meal on the patio, starting with a delicious hot crab dip as an appetizer, followed by some wonderful entrees. The service was not only friendly but also efficient, and the prices were very reasonable. If you get the chance, make sure to stop by—it's a great spot!
Just ate here for the first time. Had the wj burger. It was phenomenal. Toffee cake with ice cream for dessert didn’t disappoint either. Will be back next week for sure. Highly recommend. Owner Brad is a cool dude
Went to the Mizzou football game and was going to stay in Columbia for the night. We decided to go off the grid and stay at this beautiful Bed and Breakfast in Boonville, the care taker gave a recommendation to eat at WJ’s. All I can say is that it was a great experience. The owner came out and we probably talked for 20 minutes. He gave us recommendations on what we could do the next day. How do I say this without being corny, it’s Mayberry and I mean that with all the respect. Food was delicious atmosphere was great. If you’re ever going through Boonville please stop by this establishment. Will definitely come back and ask for Brad!
Awesome find on a recent trip to Boonville. Food and service incredible. The owner sat with us and treated us like family. The coffee cake is out of this world! Will stop again next time in town.
