Ol’Farmhouse Cafe & Bakery

Good down home food, plentiful portions-​menu is somewhat limited but very good. Bakery items are very tasty.

Best Lemonade anywhere!!!
They also have great food as well, but not so much to rave about. They have a few Popeye themed menu items, as well as interesting menu descriptions that kids and kids at heart can enjoy.
Prices are very low as well.
Get the Homemade chips, they are always fresh-​made, but the lemonade is the best. It comes with both a Lemon and Orange slice in them

Delicious!!! Went on a Sunday driving on a Thursday and dang! This place is seriously good. I’m always a little weary of country kitchen type places, but it was great! Service was amazing! If you find yourself in Chester, Randolph County seat, for any reason. stop by for a snack, meal or just coffee & dessert! Ummm! The desserts are off the hook, we had the cherry pie & the lemon pie! If I could I would have crawled into the dessert case and ate until I passed out from a diabetic seizure!

This is the value restaurant with a legit bakery that my mom had me drive her friend 22 miles to visit.
I was to drive over to the IL side for pie. Not just any pie… A bakery with the talent that can make a sugar free pie with a crust that impress a Home Economics teacher (my mom). They even had some sugar free ice cream to further impress or guest of honor.
I had a great full fat & sugar cheese cake there also.
Along with the bakery, they also have a country kitchen. There is a handwritten board full of main courses & sides that would make a farm family proud.
This home-​style food is not usually what I crave, but I find it great comfort food. For well under $ 10 for a meal, this place is a GEN-​U-​INE bargain.
However, I would strongly suggest breaking out more $ for the desserts.
The atmosphere is a cheesy country store decorations with more whimsical jokes & character than any chain like Crackle Barrel could allow in the dining area. There is no fake waiting time here to force your family to walk around in an actual store. I ate while I was amused by what was displayed around the dining area.
