  One word "Pie" . The best place for pie. Specially around pie day March 14. They have a very large "home made" selection to choose from. You can buy by the slice or the whole thing

  Cooky's Cafe in Golden City is a great locally owned Cafe for good home cooked food, especially. especially the Beef Bresket, Susie Q's & their pies. It's very easy to get too, just take Hwy 71N. from Carthage & turn right onto State Rd. 126E stay on it for 11 miles & you'll arrive downtown Golden City, it's on the right side next to the Post Office, very inexpensive pricewise.

  What is a "destination restaurant"?
  Well, visit Cooky's Cafe in Golden City, Missouri on Sunday afternoon and you'll see for yourself.
  Cooky's serves ample portions of homemade chow that you can't beat anywhere and at ridiculously low prices. Let's say, the night before, you and a couple friends dropped a couple Benjamins on over-priced steaks in "the big city". You walk into Cooky's and the menu screams you can get three pieces (white!) of chicken for, what, $8.99 including two sides and salad and warm bread with real butter. You're thinking, I wish to high heaven I had been here last night, too. The chicken (two *keels* and a wing!) are as good as your momma ever wished to make. Tablemates, order the combo of ham and brisket and both are delishuss!
  Did I mention pie? There are more pies in Cooky's chiller case(s) than there are tables in the whole cafe, no exaggeration.
  Decisions. Decisions.
  A "destination restaurant" is one you're willing to drive 30 miles (or even 300) to get to because the quality is THAT GOOD and the folks are trying THAT HARD to make it worth your time, effort, and (low) expense. Cooky's is a destination restaurant. And I'm destined to return there soon!

  Got the ham sandwich and lemon pie for there and ham and brisket for latter. Meat great as usual and the service is always good. Pie filling on the lemon pie good, but banana, not so much. Crusts on both not as good as in the good ole days.

  I walked in from the sun soaked morning hot and dripping with persperation. The Man behind the counter tended to the short order flipping hashbrowns next to an aromatic ham butt. He asked me to find a table as he worked the grill but I warned him that I had just come from the East on my bicycle and was in no condition to sit in his resteraunt. He insisted and so I saught the table that split the darker part of the place from the light. The waitress came with pitchers of ice cold water and a charif of hot black coffee. She was kind and I ordered more than I could eat. She brought a cyclists registry over for me to browse and sign while I waited for my order. Every last entry told me that I had to have the pie I ordered so much food that there was no way I could possibly eat a slice of pie. The food was top notch. I am sure I missed out on some spectacular pie but I have to say that the main course sufficed to fill me for the journey West. The waitress filled all of my water bottles with ice water and then I was gone. Back into the sun, the heat without shade, and off to meet my destiny somewhere on the beach of the Pacific.

  First time to eat there. If you need to be treated like a king, or queen, then just don't go. If you're ok with being treated as "Welcomed" then definitely go. A small place, in a small town, with great homemade food, and wonderful pies. Service was perfect, food came to us fast, even though it was extremely busy. If you need perfection, stay away. If you like home town good, then make the drive. We will definitely be back, and it's an hour away for us.

  This place is awesome! Every time we come anywhere near this direction we make it a point to come here. The brisket is awesome. The pies are awesome. The people are so kind.

  Dined in today (mothers day). Service time was a little long since there was only one waitress when we arrived and the place was 3/4 full including us, but our waitress was very friendly and the food was good. My dad recommended it, saying he grew up in the area in the late 40s when Cookys first opened. Glad we made the trip over from Lockwood. I would definitely recommend this place to others, and my next trip to MO will include a stop here!

  Called yesterday near closing time, seeking dinner accommodations for ten. We stressed that we would completely understand if it was too late for such a large group. Without hesitation we were told to "Come on over". The entire menu was still open to us, and we took advantage. Outstanding food and service, as alwaysand the best Pies in SW Missouri! If 10 stars were available I would rate them 10!!

  World-renowned pies - local farm-raised meats - American cuisine at its best, surrounded by pristine countryside.
  
  Come for the brisket, stay for the pie.
