Foote's Cafe - Chester

The classic hometown truck stop food is very good, just as I expected.

Small town café with great food and service. stop to breakfast and with a feeling good feeling and happy we stopped. in any case not hungry!

On an old and mostly forgotten highway that has long since been bypassed is this sweet little cafe. It is an absolute blast from the days of times past . Good basic food, a sweet and attentive waitress. Frequented by the locals almost exclusively I'm sure but we were greeted with a happy hello from the two tables of fellow diners when we walked in.Plenty of space to park the largest of vehicles trailers or big rig trucks. Very fair prices.clean. friendly. Super easy access of of the main highway.Highly recommend !!!

As a kid my family would drive from Omaha to Hays, KS and Otis, KS to visit relatives. Foote Cafe was one of our go to stops for lunch. You could get a good burger and pie there. Some don't remember that Highway 81 used to go straight through town right past Foote Cafe. For some reason the roads department moved 81 to the east around Chester, probably to save the need to slow down in town. But the loss of the spur of the moment stopping traffic for food and gas really hurt the cafe.

If you are in search of delicious home-cooked meals, this restaurant is the perfect spot. Located on Highway 81 in Chester.
