They also have milkshake flavors for day! This prices were a bit on the high side, but as a treat it's well worth it. The only reason I didn't give them 5 stars is because it's all outdoor seating, so watch out for bees or cold weather if you want to eat here.

The burgers you used to get at your local pharmacy or at Woolworths are just like how they're served here. Get yourself a milkshake and you're in heaven. The menu is extensive, prices are reminiscent of the past, and the service is great. This is a spot all the locals frequent, and with good reason. Seating is set off to the side under a big pavilion, which is nice and shady. Overall, I'd come back to this part of Missouri just for the Dairy Shack.

Stopped by Jolly Cone On The Current and ordered two cheeseburgers, fries, and root beers. The…read moreservice was quick, which was a plus, but the food was underwhelming. The cheeseburgers were average at best, with dry buns that didn't seem very fresh. The fries were decent, but nothing standout. Overall, the prices felt inflated compared to the quality and portion sizes. Based on that, we decided to skip dessert and head elsewhere for something more consistent and reliable.

TLDR: If you're driving by and you want something better than McDonald's or Subway, then this is…read morethe best place to stop!!! I drive from TN to MO often and I have stopped here many times when I am coming through van buren, specifically for a banana split or a cherry sprite which are both great. The food is good and worth the stop! This little joint is the most authentic Van Buren experience you're going to get! The reason I am truly writing this review is because we made a routine stop today and my little 18mo old son fell in the parking lot (in true little boy fashion he just got ahead of himself and tripped) well he ended up scraping both of his knees pretty good. As not to cause a scene, my wife took him over to the side to comfort him while I looked for some napkins to clean up his knees. Before I could even get back to them the owners were standing with my wife with some basic first aid supplies and bandaids making sure my little boy was okay. This was above and beyond customer service and I really truly appreciated it. Very kind people 10/10 will be stopping again real soon.

Traveling through Missouri we were in the mood for a burger. We found this quaint " little gem " in…read morethe midst of St. James , MO. I came across this Slow cooked Italian Beef sandwich. I had to try it. Let me tell you! If you're in the mood for comfort food that hits all the right notes, look no further than the Slow-Cooked Italian Beef Sandwich at Rich's Famous Burgers. This hearty classic is the kind of sandwich that stops conversations. Tender, slow-roasted Italian beef is piled high onto a fresh, crusty hoagie roll that holds up beautifully under the weight of all that juicy, flavorful goodness. The meat is seasoned to perfection--rich with garlic, oregano, and a hint of red pepper--and soaked in its own savory jus that takes hours to build and seconds to fall in love with. What takes it over the top? A generous layer of melted provolone cheese, subtly sharp and buttery, blanketing the beef in creamy decadence. This beef sandwich is a symphony of textures and bold, satisfying flavors. Pair it with a side of crispy fries or a simple salad, and you've got yourself a great meal. Although not original to Missouri it's a have to have at this place. It's a must-have for sandwich lovers.

The food was great and prices cheap. Bar rescue guy suggests: Clean up your menus... mine was dirty and almost left because of; paint up the raw plywood at your bar; put a sign up on street advertising breakfast; on a Sunday morning turn up the lights big time; stop the obnoxious music videos and put on Foxnews or local channel; and number one for crying out loud serve coffee--- it's a huge markup for you. If you don't serve enough to start just get a cheap $50 off brand Keurig machine and you can serve a cup at a time it cost you pennies per serving. You need help :) Accept the suggestions. BTW: you can beat "Brite Bites" as their signage looks like a bubblegum wrapper in a cartoon arcade. Lordy do they need help!!!

Gluten free Gold mine…read more I can't say enough good things about Scruff Grill. As someone who has struggled to find safe, delicious, actually enjoyable gluten-free meals, this place absolutely blew me away. Their gluten-free options are incredible--thoughtfully crafted, full of flavor, and far beyond the usual "substitute and hope for the best" approach most restaurants take. The gluten-free buns are a standout: soft, sturdy, and honestly the best I've ever had. They don't fall apart! That alone would earn them five stars, but it gets even better. They use dedicated fryers, something that's nearly impossible to find, and their staff is impressively knowledgeable about cross-contamination, ingredients, and allergen safety. I felt understood, respected, and genuinely cared for. Every bite was packed with bold, unmatched flavor. It's clear the team here takes pride in what they create, and it shows in the entire dining experience. Scruff Grill has earned my gratitude and my repeat business. If you're gluten-free--or even if you aren't--you have to try this place. It's a gem.
