I got take out from here and it tasted amazing! Very large portions and the freshest food. I thought there was a mixup when I got outside but discovered they give you so many fries that it needs its own box. The tomatoes, lettuce and onions for the burger were extremely fresh too. Very flavorful bacon and good quality beef! I encountered 3 different workers and they were all super nice! It’s hard to find a place that hits all these marks but Uncle Ernie’s sure does. I highly recommend!

Absolutely awesome service. The burger was fantastic and the appetizers we had were great. Servings are pretty large. They have fair prices on booze and lots of specials and happy hour deals. Fun atmosphere with a jukebox and a few video games.

*Doing a 2025 update. Food is still amazing and staff is still friendly. Also still recommending the BLT!Since I tried this place based off of google reviews I figured I might as well add my own. Our family had spent the day around the Maramec Springs area, and while making the trek back towards St. Louis we got hungry. Mom did the googling and we ended up finding a forever kind of spot. That was in 2018 and as of a couple days ago in 2022 we still frequent this establishment. The food and staff are great. There's a couple of pool tables, a bar, and some arcade style games for entertainment too. ***The zucchini fries and anything with bacon on it are definitely worth a try.*** Sadly they no longer have zucchini fries, but the spiral chips are bomb.

This place deserves way more than just ....The service may have been the best I've ever had and the food was top notch. I ordered the loaded spiral chips and an Ernie melt....let me just say if you've ever wanted to have a Philly cheese steak mixed with a grilled cheese sandwich. It is literally hard for me to describe how great this sandwich was.... All I can say is my sister, my Dad and I all got one. My mom had a Jr. Ernie burger and was completely satisfied, which is almost never the case. It is a must try. It's totally family friendly with cheap candy games, pool and air hockey.And I may mention their pineapple juice was some of the best I've ever tasted. Put Uncle Ernie's on the trip from now on.

Another tucked away place but right in "downtown" Bourbon MO. 6pm Saturday and every seat was taken...but look at those pics...that is why! Hubs had the catfish sandwich and I had the smothered chicken sandwich which was perfect grilled chopped chicken, green peppers, onions and mushrooms on a homemade roll that would rival any bakery from "The Hill " (in St.L).Folks around us ordered magazine cover page worthy burgers (definitely trying those next time) but our selection for the night was delicious!Plan on a little longer than usual wait..they even say that on the menu...but y'all...it is worth every second of waiting! We ordered as an appetizer the smothered homemade chips and those did not disappoint!So try out this place, slow down and visit with the face across the table and enjoy some darn good grub!

The food was fresh and hot. You get a lot of food for money. The staff was very nice and informative.

Awesome burger if you don’t mind the wait. We sat outside since it was a beautiful day and had a very nice, quiet lunch. Definitely five burgers!!!
