While here on a family vacation and a trip to the Lake of the Ozarks, I knew I had to try Andy's bc it's like an institution here. This is a nice, large location and we picked a good time to come bc there was literally no line at all and we walked right up and sat and enjoyed our ice cream while no one else even showed up mid-afternoon on a pretty warm June day. I chose the Cardinal-themed flavor with cherries, toasted almonds, heath bar and maybe one other thing. It was SO good. I actually inhaled it when I only planned to eat a little of it. Yummmmmm. I've had Ted Drewe's which is a big deal in St. Louis but I enjoyed the flavor at this chain better. Noms!

It is popular as the line was long but it moved quickly. They have a huge variety of options. Majority of our group got scoops of ice cream while 2 tried the blackberry cobbler. One of the ice cream scoops was simply ice which was disappointing. The cobbler was delicious.

The line moved quickly and the girls working were super helpful and polite. I ended up deciding on a scoop of blueberry cobbler and it was delicious! This will definitely be on my list of places to stop by again! We enjoyed eating at a picnic table outside, enjoyed the fresh air, and the kids enjoyed the old time rides.

The owner makes everything here with love and heart…read more My absolute favorite was the cookie sandwich with vanilla custard. The custard really is superior in creaminess and texture. Not too sweet and was so decadent. Very rich. They also baked their cookies in house and they cut it in half for me on request. I would come back again and again just for this cookie sandwich. You can see in the back they are making everything in house and at night they have a long line because people know how good this place is and it's SO worth it!! They offer a wide variety of toppings and fruits that everyone will be happy! You can't go wrong with anything on the menu. There isn't seating from what I noticed but the service is so good and I highly recommend. There's a huge parking lot and it's right next to the grocery store too so it's conveniently located

The food is absolutely delicious, awesome home style diner food. We have sampled several different things off of the menu, and we have loved them all. Some of our favorites are the cheese curds, the cheeseburgers, chicken strips, fries, and Philly sandwiches. This place is a diamond in the rough of our small town.

When we were there, the staff was all women and everybody was very kind and gave great suggestions. I thought that the food was decently priced and I wasn't too hungry so I ended up splitting the grilled cheese with my daughter. It was really tasty and they had crispy Parmesan cheese coating the bread on the outside. We ended up splitting a larger size s'mores milkshake and it was delicious. The price of the milkshakes is a little steep, but you do get quite a large pour and they definitely make it look pretty!

The patio below gave a nice view point of the ropes course while being cooled down by misters and drinking adult milkshakes. The milkshakes were delicious, though I was super surprised by the addition of peanut butter in my Cinna'rum Crunch shake as it was not a listed ingredient, which could have been dangerous for someone with a peanut allergy. (Which is why I'm giving 3 stars instead of 5) . Our waitress was friendly and did try to get answers about the peanut butter in my shake but seemed to not understand my concern and neither did the people who made it. So be aware if you have an allergy as not all ingredients are listed nor are the staff concerned with possible allergies.

What better way to celebrate your birthday than with one of your favorite food groups...ice cream…read more Yes, it is a food group and if anyone tells you differently you do not need that kind of negativity in your life. Stopped in here following lunch, to find a bright spot in the food scene - I succeeded! A great little place, with fantastic ice cream, and nostalgia tucked in the corner candy section. I wanted one of everything on the menu, it was hard to make my decision. Opted for a Sunday (I was actually there on a Subday and found it fitting). The staff were friendly, the shop very neat with quirky pieces of furniture. Great place to stop on Route 66 for a refreshing treat. Date night, meeting friends, family outing, or to celebrate milestones...ice cream should always be part of the equation.

The family decided this was the place to go for early dinner the Saturday of Labor Day weekend…read more Fortunately it wasn't super busy and we got a parking spot right outside the door. That's pretty fortuitous since it was 100°+F outside. Overall it looked like parking was a smidge limited, so I'd imagine if this place is busy, you might have a bit of trouble finding a spot. We hit the shift change, but our waitress was prompt and had drinks (hello Guinness) for us pretty quickly. Sidenote though, sitting close to the door when it's really hot out can prove a bit uncomfortable with people entering/exiting and being blasted with heat. We started with an order of fried pickle spears, which were tasty, but fell apart after a bit or two and were fairly messy. Mom and I opted for an order of the chicken and waffles each. It looked significant in the pictures, but having not really eaten all day, I was feeling ambitious. Mom failed to eat half of hers. At the expense of my waistline, I was able to devour the entirety of the 4x millionaire's-esque bacon strips, 3x waffles, 2x fried chicken breasts, and the orange maple syrup (which was unique and fantastic). Overall, while it was pretty good, it was more of an exercise in quantity over quality. I can't even fathom a dessert after this size of meal. This was closer to a 4.5 star experience, but next time I'd probably want to do something with a smaller portion to save room for cheesecake and an Irish coffee.
