"The good: The food is homemade and downright tasty. As a party of 8, each person ordered something different and we thoroughly enjoyed each bite. The fried chicken, chicken tenders and tenderloin are all hand breaded and cooked perfectly. Watch out the appetizer size of onion rings is HUGE. It was enough to share for our whole party. The pie. Oh my! I'm not normally a big pie fan, but the peanut butter cup pie was SO good. It was creamy and not sickeningly sweet. The meringue on the lemon pie was probably 5 inches tall. If nothing else, save room for your favorite slice. The meh: This place is large...like 3 different dining rooms large. Decor isn't really there thing, but we didn't come for the ambiance. It was also a Sunday afternoon and almost every seat was packed. Service was pretty slow and drinks ran dry several times, but that's typically a given for how busy they were. Oddly, I think they ran out of clean saucers/salad plates. Everyone had a slice of pie and some were served in bowls and two pieces were placed on a single dinner plate so two people had to eat from the same plate. Not a big deal, just odd."

Is this place still open? Been there twice in the last couple of weeks and it's closed. Is that permanent?

Stopped here with my family on the way home from lake of the ozarks... Food was very good my brother said it was the best patty melt he'd ever had. Staff was very friendly and got our food to us quickly! Also we got pie and that was very good. Would recommend!

Cash only. (Which I will admit, is one of the 6 different signs on the front door). Fortunately we were able to scrape the together but it did reduce the waitresses tip. Food was good when we got it but apparently a salad and a Reuben sandwich take much longer than the fried items. View menu

the food was amazing! i got the chicken fried steak with mashed potatoes and corn and it was great. my husband got the double cheeseburger with fries and he loved it. would highly recommend this place. they don't take card for payment but they do have an ATM in the store. it seems a little pricey but it is very worth it. it's tasty homemade food and you get large portions.

Everyone always talks about this place so we decided to stop for lunch. Very mixed reviews from the family. Onion rings to start. Those were good. My country fried steak was soggy on one side and burnt on the other. I could eat about 1/8 of it. The sides (baked beans and mashed potatoes were really good. My wife's pork chop was ok. It had more of a ham texture. We got pie too. There were nice servers working...we saw them...but we definitely didn't get one. We probably won't come back.

For the last 5 years we have made countless trips to and from the lake on Hwy 13 past this little place, always seeing the large billboard advertising the huge tenderloin. We're either in a hurry to get to the lake or to get home but this evening we called ahead and picked it up as we passed by. And OMGOSH!! The tenderloin sandwich with the fresh garden veggies was the best I've ever had. My hubby and I shared the sandwich and a side of onion rings and still couldn't eat it all. Of course we had to throw in the homemade cinnamon roll that is to die for. The only downside is they only accept cash, but they do have an ATM on site so was no biggie to us. View menu

A bit off the beaten path but well worth the effort. I was just starting out my trip last August and stopped for breakfast. It was a great start. 2 eggs over easy, sausage, hashbrowns with gravy on the side and sourdough bread for toast. The eggs were cooked to perfection. The sausage was as good as it gets, I would like to know where they get their sausage. A big platter of hashbrowns, tasty gravy and good toast. A larger breakfast than I intended eating but when I looked down the plate was empty. I was good for the rest of the day. The waitress was very friendly and kept my coffee cup full. One thing you need to know, it is cash only they don't take cards but they do have an ATM. The waitr...

What a hidden gem. If I hadn't been searching online ahead of our trip for unique stops we would have passed by this exit and missed this place entirely. When we arrived at 6pm on a Monday (they close at 7:30pm) the building looks pretty run down. Half the letters are missing on their sign! But the flowers were well tended and the parking lot had lots of vehicles... always a good indicator! We were greeted immediately and offered menus and water. We decided to try the tenderloin sandwich (a first for both of us). They were happy to cut it in half and prepare two sets of lettuce and toppings and give us a second plate. It was really good! There's no doubt this would have been too much food fo...

"My wife and I finally had the opportunity to check this place. Very nice inside. Very clean and well maintained. We started with a beef, white bean and barley soup that was absolutely delicious. I had the eggs Benedict. One of the best I ever had. Eggs were perfectly cooked, the Hollandaise was savory, and the ham was juicy and sweet. On the recommendation of the server, my wife had the fried Walleye. That was also perfectly cooked, and the beerbatter was great. I highly recommend eating the Walleye with some malt vinegar as it really helps to produce the natural sweetness of the fish. Portions are generous and we have leftovers to take home. Of course, as a married couple, we tried the meals of the other and both enjoyed everything very much. Lauren was our server. She was super helpful that we had many questions and it was our first time there. It was available and attentive, but not invasive. We needed more time to check the wide selection that offers the menu, and she was patient and gracious We needed more time to check the wide selection of menu offers, and she was patient. Some of the best services I had in a long time considering that our industry is really trying to find high-quality help. I can say that as someone who works in the industry. Lauren is definitely a guard. I have an entrepreneurial eye, and I can tell you that the owners really know the business. There were some details I noticed, even up to the TVs that advertise their food and desserts. Definitely some business intelligence here. Can not wait to come back and try the liver and onions and the rest of the menu."
