We walked in on the night of my cousin's graduation to celebrate a huge milestone. We walked in and the hostess stated she didn't have our reservation, another lady who was either the owner or manager came up hot and bothered and was EXTREMELY rude. On a hospitality level I give her a -50. She very rudely stated she didn't have our reservation and continued to be awful as we tried to clarify that we had made a reservation. Even if she could have been nice and apologetic about the reservation misunderstanding, I wouldn't have stayed to eat here and support this business. People need to learn how to treat other humans nicely. This lady was NOT nice, one of the rudest restaurant encounters I've ever had.

If someone were to ask me to invent a restaurant I would want in North Missouri, the answer is…read morebasically Sebree's. It is a daydream come true (wistful, but more grounded in reality). And Sebree's manages to be better than I could have imagined. Sebree's is the embodiment of what I hope restaurants in this part of the world can be. We have so much to offer, it's a matter of bringing it all together. And they do that so well. They have admirably prioritized relationships with area farmers, showcasing local producers. Where they do go outside the immediate region (seafood), they make a point of keeping the same sort of relationships with small-scale, sustainable producers in those communities. In our visit, the menu was very local - both in content and design. Consisted solely of recognizable dishes folks grew up with here - surf and turf, pasta, bread pudding, there were few surprises. And that's where the surprise was: the execution is on an astounding level. I have seen variations on that menu in so many other places throughout Missouri and beyond. The dish names are the same, but none of them produce like this. So think homestyle food, except in your house you have someone from Greentop who went out and cooked under French and German chefs, then came back for family. Normal stuff. Even something as basic as the bread was excellent, and the honey butter they whipped up for it was ideal. The steak was the best we'd ever had in the area. And the bread pudding was outstanding - I'm still thinking about that caramel. They are passionate about food here and it shows - curious and inventive, evolving the menu throughout the seasons based on what's available. An example of this is their blackberry sorbet. It's lovely. Cindy, the front-of-house side of the wonderful duo who own and operate this place, explained "We ended up with a fantastic crop of blackberries in our garden this year, so I've been figuring out what to do with them ever since. We froze a bunch and I decided to try making a sorbet. So I learned." Fantastic. I love that attitude, and they have the standards and abilities to make special things happen. They pay attention to the quality of details, and it shows. Even the music - the played vintage Uncle Tupelo all through our time there, it was the perfect choice. Maybe that's the metaphor: That combination of heritage and modern craft. Is it perfect? No, of course not. It's very human and honest, and I love that about it. It's making things and tinkering and innovating, and that's much more interesting than the same polished menu with little variation. The citrus slaw was good, but for us it would have worked better as a component in a larger dish - which I think is how it started. The wine list fit in with what's generally available in the region, but it's also an opportunity to raise the level a notch above what you can get at Hy-Vee. Maybe the traffic through the restaurant isn't enough for it, which would totally make sense. Generally speaking, the drink program is fine but doesn't match the level of the food. There is a decent enough looking bar, but they may have been short staffed and this all could be remedied by the time you're reading this. The atmosphere was one of transition, while still good. It and the menu graphic design are sneaky - they don't fully communicate the excellence coming from the kitchen. All of it is completely understandable, and I also would love to see this place playing to its heights. None of these are big deals. We felt comfortable and welcome, and the night was a great time. This place is a conversation with the local community. It makes so much sense. I would love to see that culinary conversation expand to include some of the additional flavors and traditions we have here - Salvadorean pupusas would be a perfect combination with that citrus slaw. It would be fun to see one dish on the menu that steps into more inventive and educational territory - but we've only been once, so they may already be doing that and we just missed it this time. If possible, make reservations - they have a small team, so it's wise to give them a heads up that you're heading their way, right after we got there a table of 12 showed up and I gained an appreciation for Cindy's role as host/air traffic controller. Let's wrap this up: Kirksville is a place that is 3 hours away from the nearest airport, and even though it's just 17,000 people, it's the largest town for a wide radius. It is also a place where you can go from preschool to doctor without leaving the city limits. That's what I love about this area - when people only focus on the limitations, they don't see *us*. And this is what they miss. Sebree's gave me a great meal, but it also feeds a sense of pride and possibility in where we are and who we can be. Maybe that's lofty to say about a surf and turf platter with a house salad, but I defy anyone to come here and walk away with anything but respect.

TLDR: Woody's is like stepping back in time to 1985. The barbeque is OK…read more MENU: Odd mix of miscellaneous items. Americanized Italian food like spaghetti and fried ravioli, mixed with barbeque ribs and brisket, and Midwestern fare like the tenderloin sandwich, and a few odd balls that were popular in decades past, like blackened fish. FOOD QUALITY: Mediocre. Lots of factory-made/frozen items, and simple things you might as well make at home. MENU FAVORITES: The only thing I go for is the barbeque brisket and/or ribs. MENU FAILS: There's nothing wrong with Italian American food, I just think it's odd to have it on the side with barbeque. FRONT OF HOUSE SERVICE: The dive bar in the back seems like a local's place where newcomers are kept at arm's length. KITCHEN SERVICE: No complaints. One time I got the barbeque platter and an older guy with a white beard came out and watched me eat for a little while. I guess he was proud of his food and wanted to see if I liked it. COMPETITION: To my knowledge, there aren't any other restaurants offering barbeque ribs and brisket right now - hence the reason I go here. For Italian food go to Venezia instead. For American food go to Maxwell's instead. For a steak go to TK Prime instead. ATMOSPHERE: I've only ever eaten in Woody's, and not the main restaurant; the reason is because I typically dine alone, and if you show up at the front door by yourself, they will ask you to take a seat back there instead of in the dining room. Woody's is a dive bar in the back; dimly lit, sticky tables, and two televisions for every customer showing whatever the current sports game is. There's a mysterious downstairs room with a jukebox. The main restaurant seems bright and cheery, if a bit close.

Our drinks had been empty for awhile and when we got our entrees and our server said she'd be back with refills. A food runner came by with drinks after about 10 minutes but they were for a different table, so he left. No one ever came back with refills.

(NOTE: This dining venue is located WITHIN the casino floor, so children are not allowed to patronize this restaurant.) Here are my thoughts below! Food: I order a "Book Burger" which is essentially the restaurant's take on a bacon cheese burger. The burger came with a side of fries. The meal was very average to subpar. The burger itself was dry and did not have much flavor. The patty was very thin and looked like it might have just been a frozen puck before it was prepared. I'd rate the meal a 4.8/10. Service: Despite the subpar food, the service here was very good. Attentive waitresses and prompt service! Ambiance: My motivation for coming to this sports bar was not for a specific game/viewing party. However, this place would be EXCELLENT for those who enjoy gambling and want to catch an Iowa/(Insert your team's) sporting event. The bar has a calendar of upcoming viewing parties they host throughout the coming weeks! Ample TVs and good vibes abound! All in all, if Draft Day stepped up their culinary abilities, this would easily break into a 5/5 sports bar.
