Came to check them out after someone posted in our group about their massive pork tenderloin. It's…read moreabout an hour West of Columbia and I little out of downtown. The interior is cute with a country vibe and string lights in the center seating area. I had the pork tenderloin breakfast with over medium eggs, home fries, and a biscuit and a side of sausage. My husband had the same with hash-browns and sourdough and a side of bacon. Alex had pancakes, scrabbled eggs and bacon. The eggs were cooked well and the potatoes had a nice crisp and season to them. The biscuit was big and fluffy. I didn't get to finish that half of my meal after finding a hair on my plate. I switched to the sausage and the gravy covered tenderloin. This was the biggest I have seen. The flavor was alright, not really seasoned so it fell flat for us. The gravy was bland like it was from a can. Alex's pancakes were a bit tough as though they were over mixed. I'm not sure we would make the drive to try anything else is was just okay.

Went for our second visit. The food is always good. Lots of wait staff, but I think the kitchen…read morewas overrun. There were a couple of large parties and a large group in the back room. From the time we sat down until the food came out was about an hour. Deserts are a mixed bag. $8 for a slice of cake is pretty high, but $2 for a scoop of ice cream is a decent price, and the ice cream was good, not gummy or full of ice crystals. Given the options in a small town, this is a nice addition and we'll definitely be coming back. I think they were just overrun the day we stopped in on a Sunday at lunchtime.

I dont enjoy putting ice cold condiments on hot food especially if i want the food to stay warm. But the sandwich was so dry and flavorless I had to try something. Used the bathroom and my daughter discovered a stall that one latch to the lock. a woman came out of another stall hearing our conversation, barley washed her hands and left. I discovered later that was the owner. when we washed our hands the paper towels were jammed and an elderly lady was stuck trying to get them out. I offered to help and saw the towel jammed and pushed on it. Something inside the dispenser stabbed my finger and I began to bleed but let it go. just a small puncture. Washed my hands again and used a napkin to stop the bleeding because the towel dispenser jammed again. Our second visit for Father's day (because my husband wanted to try them again) and again my daughter needed to use the restroom. still broken inside. Got my order for this visit. Beef hot plate advertised as thin sliced prime rib over bread with mashed potatoes, gravy and green beans. I added an extra side of sweet potato fries. They brought everyone's food and didnt bring my daughters chicken tender basket. We had to remind the waiter she ordered food. he didnt even care. He said "oh what did she get" and went and got some very dark chicken tenders. 3 small ones to be exact and a pile of fries smaller than my hand. this was an adult $14 meal..it looked right for a child portion. My husband ordered meatloaf and double mashed potatoes. his food did not even come close to covering the plate. very small portion. my $16 "sliced prime rib" was a tiny bit of chopped bits. like meat garnish not a meal. (i even removed the meat to show staff their was no meat it was all gravy) on top of a small bit of mashed potatoes that was placed on a plain piece of bread. the bread was not even toasted. just taken from a bag and put on the plate. the green beans were canned, not seasoned, and sogged the whole plate because they were not even drained. you could see the meal swimming in the green bean juice and this was after my bread soaked up as much as it could. unable or willing to eat this soggy bread meal with no meat I asked for the manager. only to discover the woman in the bathroom the first visit WAS the owner!! She was lack luster in her care. seemed more annoyed. we waited 40 min not including the 15 min we spent standing for a table in a half full restaurant with plenty of tables. She said the beans were seasoned but i even showed her. no ham bits. no bacon. not even pepper visible. they were bland and soggy. She did ask to make something else and considering the long wait, the fact my family already had food i asked "do you know how long it will be?" expecting "oh ill make sure this gets done first and is out quickly!" she instead replied with "i really dont know." with that i didnt feel good about the idea. and sure enough my family, starved by then, finished their meager portions quickly. For the price you get less food on a plate than a Culver's fast food dinner plate. Astounding. Will not be back. Very disappointing. It is also dirty. the menus have a layer of grime but they are laminated for easy cleaning.

There seemed to be less than ideal coordination between kitchen and service, but maybe the mid-to-late afternoon time I arrived had to do with that. I've only been there once. The ambiance was so-so; 3 stars. I saw some interesting historical photos on the walls, so maybe 3.5 stars? I got the cranberry spinach salad with tree nut sprinkles. It was average at best: 3 stars; the tasty creamy dressing was 4.5 stars. With the salad, I had a Southwest Baby Pizza. The crust was very good, 4 stars. The toppings were more like 3 stars, although the cook with mozz melt was just right: 4 stars. Food overall: 4 stars, but only by rounding up. This place gets 3.5 overall (which rounds up to four). Your mileage may vary! I'd recommend it for a fairly speedy family meal in a decent downtown neighborhood, but this isn't gourmet food. I'm still searching for great pizza near Richmond, MO. I may revisit here, but I am not in a very big hurry to do so.
