Our server was very nice, apologized for taking so long and cleaned the table. We both ordered 1/2 order of the hot beef sandwich. It was a couple dollars less than the full meal.

A man at the other table was saying how good the pie was. Interesting place to stop in. We thought we were stopping at another restaurant, but we pleased wth what we got. Really, really small town.

Well, I recently decided to finally put that can in the recycling bin and actually make it over to Wiener Kitchen....and...OH MY GOD IT'S AMAZING!!!! Why have I wasted so many weeks of my life not knowing how delicious the food is here? When the staff realized it was my first visit, they gave me the entire rundown of the food cooked onsite and the fact that you can also purchase their meats to cook yourself at home. It's a pretty small area for eating, but that won't stop me from coming back again and again because I can't believe how much I enjoyed the Chorizo Rojo and the Jalapeno Cheddar Kielbasa! I also had the Chicken Apple which was good, but the other two were the stars of my tastebuds. I'm sure to be back over and over as Wiener Kitchen is officially added to the rotation of frequented restaurants in my repertoire...and you should add it to yours too!

Morty not only welcomed me, but asked my name, what I did for a living, and how satisfied I was with my job within the first minute of meeting. A natural at conversation and customer service skills - my new best friend that I had never met. While he prepared my dogs, I asked him about the "ripper" sauce that is on the menu. Not only did I get a sample of his handmade recipe, but the origin story of how he discovered it while serving in the military in Germany. It was a sweet / tangy mustard and onion concoction that I will definitely order on my next trip if it's available on his rotating menu at that time. My Chicago Dog and Chili Cheese Dogs were perfection. The Chicago Dog had all the proper fresh ingredients with a Vienna Beef dog and a soft poppy seed bun. With one bite I was transported back to my frequent Chicago Dog lunches when living in Chicago almost 30 years ago. The Chili cheese dog was just as magical with a creamy warm cheese sauce between the soft bun and dog and then covered in a no-bean saucy meat chili...just as God intended. Morty's is only open 7 hours a week - 11:00am - 1:20pm W, TH & FR, so plan accordingly and go meet my new best friend and get a couple of life's simple all-American pleasures.

I ordered the Volkswurst, which was very tasty. I removed the top half of the bun and ate it with a fork, but it you are still eating bread I think you'd like the bun - it's grilled so it has good texture. The kraut is homemade, cut wide and still crisp. The beer mustard was the perfect condiment! So glad I finally made it out to eat their food, I'll be paying more attention from now on!

Oh wow...come on people. Shakers deserves some recognition! It's a small town classic mom and pop…read moregrill. I just can't believe there's only 3 reviews about this place. I'm ready to call Guy Fieri on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives! I figured Shakers would be the most popular attraction in Mound City, Missouri!! Anyhow...let me give a little info and background on Shakers. I was driving along my cross country road trip through Missouri and was yearning for a homely/informal restaurant that would be popular and authentic to the area. So I Googled "places to eat" in Mound City and Shakers appeared. Then I ventured on over here. Shakers is a little family burger and ice cream joint. They have a menu posted on a board next to the takeout window. Walking up to order...I could just sense whatever I chose was going to be hot and fresh made to order. Shakers is situated just off the main road. I parked in the lot and then strolled over to the front section where they featured picnic tables to sit down and eat at. When I was ready, I just went up to the window to ordered. The menu board was very simple, with cheap prices ranging anywhere from $5 - $10 or so. I'll list the whole menu board right here... - Ice Cream Treats - cups/cones, floats, malts, ice cream shakers, sundaes, flavor bursts, and ice cream specials! - Finger Foods - chicken tenders, popcorn chicken, beer battered shrimp, Buffalo chicken, cheese fries, nachos, mozzarella sticks, French fries, onion rings. - Sandwiches - pork tenderloin, chicken filet, deli turkey, tuna salad, grilled cheese, hot dog, chili dog, hamburger, cheeseburger. - Baskets (served with French fries and Texas toast) - chicken tenders, jumbo popcorn chicken, boneless Buffalo chicken, beer battered shrimp, catfish tenders. Basically, anything and everything you could ask for from a good old fashioned hamburger and hot dog establishment....Shakers featured. Seriously, they cater to the entire family and children. The menu board may appear small in stature, but it's packed with All-American favorites! I ordered an old cheeseburger with onion rings, soda and a large cookie dough shaker. The meal came to around $15 and then I threw a few dollars in the tip jar. I then waited at the picnic table for my order to be called. I was very surprised for the summertime just how quiet it was here, but because of this 2020 pandemic, I guess a lot of people were staying at home. Still, I was just grateful they even let me sit down at the tables because....I was getting quite tired of eating in the front seat of my car for almost every meal along my cross country drive. Another really cool aspect about Shakers is they had a drive-thru. So for those who'd like to take their food "to-go" with them...this was convenient. I maybe waited 10 minutes for my meal. My burger and onion rings came inside of a vintage old fashioned basket. My cheeseburger fresh was right off the grill. It came with lettuce and tomato on a soft bun. The onion rings were out of this world!! They were so hot and crispy straight from the fryer. The onion rings were the star of the meal! And my cookie dough shaker was filled with plenty of cookie dough pieces. For every bit I took...I had a piece of cookie dough in my mouth, lol. The shaker was like a meal in and of itself. Finally, Shakers was such a pleasant surprise on my trek through Missouri. It was a great way to have a no frills type of meal sitting down outside at the picnic tables while enjoying the warm summer weather. This charming family quick-stop grill was the ideal place for that meal I was craving. I highly recommend Shakers to everyone in Mound City. I hope this place is doing okay through the horrible pandemic. I hope Mound City supports them well. I assume the word is out on this place. Just...3 Yelp reviews is shockingly disappointing.

You can get your hot dog grilled, fried, off of the roller grilled, or boiled. Also they have gluten free buns and impossible hot dogs so bring your friends with dietary differences. We got several hot dogs and sides. The 50/50 was seasoned well enough that I didn't even need condiments. I really enjoyed the chili though and the mac and cheese. Everything was so delicious. We'll be back.

Can't say I'm going to rush back here, to be honest, but glad to see a concept in the neighborhood…read more One of my kids was majorly hangry and we had to make a semi emergency pitstop here to get her fed. They happened to be mopping with a strong ammonia odor, so that set the stage a bit awkwardly as we navigated our first time in. There's no kids menu (which is fine, it's by a college campus so likely nomt their demographic) but we got an original one with nothing on it and tots. As another reviewer mentioned, apparently you get the choice of grilled, fried, boiled, or off the roller -- we weren't asked and ended up with grilled. The tots were phenomenal, some of the best I've had, and I kept poaching them when she wasn't looking. I hope the biz owners know my intentions are very much in a spirit of offering constructive feedback, with hopes of coming back in, and not malicious at all here. Here are a few more things that were off that are worth calling out: -Vibes were a bit weird inside. The ammonia smell, tables dirty. My daughter went to get a water and saw cups and asked me if she could grab one, I gave a thumbs up from across the room -- turned out to be wine glasses! So she's loading up waters for the table in wine glasses, and a minor miracle we didn't end up breaking one. Kind of random to be set by the fountain machine. -The drinking fountain was out of order and it was pretty dirty back by the bathroom -Service was neutral at best, not really walking us thru anything and sort of half-hearted about it -The dog was kinda small for seven bucks What was fun though was the foosball table, so that's a cool addition. Feels very college towny across the board in here. I'll keep with the idea of supporting a new neighborhood spot, but a lukewarm first impression across the board.
