This place is awesome. I originally ordered my mashed potatoes without gravy, after trying the white gravy and it being good, I had them bring out the brown gravy and it was full of flavor. Potato salad was delicious, not mushy, nice chunks. Okra tasted fresh, really good. Chicken fried steak, nice thin crispy crust, flavorful. Chicken fried chicken, also very good. The only thing that was lacking was the chili and the lemon meringue, not enough lemon to taste. Best place we've eaten at in the mid west. read more

Stopped for lunch on the way through the area recently, and glad I did. Old school country diner with a traditional interior, a roll of paper towels on the table. I was greeted walking in and told to sit where I liked, so I grabbed a table and a seat. My server was kind, friendly and professional, appearing within moments with a menu and asked my drink preference. She returned with my ginger ale, and I ordered the chicken fries chicken with mashed and gravy and a side of beans. It wasn't long and my lunch returned, a generous portion all around. The chicken was breaded and fried near perfect, and the mashed potatoes with gravy also very good, the beans a nice rich flavor and cooked well. There is a strong multi-generational military veterans presence throughout the interior, and being a veteran it made me feel welcome and also proud. Good country home style cooking, comfort food. 4 Stars definitely worth a stop, visit and support 01017 read more

We've never had a bad meal. I prefer dining in. But I would have no problem with take out.

What a great find! Looks newly built, dedicated to Vietnam Veterans, with a honey and patriotic feel. Support local! We had the catfish with frIed okra and chilled peaches and the hamburger steak with a loaded baked potato and cole slaw. We ate what we could. Portions are huge and served on platters! Everything was delicious and fresh. We wee too hungry to take proper photos of our food before we dug in. Would love the chance to be a regular there! Watch for the signs on 60W! read more

Everything about it is amazing! The only thing I hate is that it takes a thousand years to get your food. Besides that, it's amazing. That's the only thing wrong. The service is quick! And the ambiance is amazing! It is slowing going down hill. read more

So we were traveling through town on 60 and through my we would give it a try. They had specials and a wide variety on the menu. I think they cater to a he locals they know by name. Food was okay but half my food came and I waited almost 15 minutes for the baked potato. The young man busing tables refilled our drinks. The decor was cute and country. The road to and from is a little rough off the highway. I am sure the locals love it! read more

D’s Country Kitchen - Waffles Near Me - Ellsinore, Missouri

Traveling through the area in need of a lunch spot and stopped here. Place was fairly busy for 11 am. Ordered chicken quessidilla which had the least filling of any quessidilla I have ever ordered anywhere. No salsa. Did get sour cream. Server asked if I was ok with chips or if I wanted a side. Thinking chips meant tortilla chips I said chips. First time ever quessidilla served with Ruffles potato chips. Very disappointed. Will not go back. Cannot recommend. read more

D’s Country Kitchen - Hungry man's breakfast. - Waffles Near Me - Ellsinore, Missouri

We've watched for this restaurant to open and came in to try out dinner. Charming interior and exterior. They have ample room to accommodate the largest party and a patio for dining alfresco. Tonight we had the chicken strips with fries and baked potato, open faced roast beef with brown beans and mashed potatoes, and I had the hamburger steak (rare ) with onion mushroom gravy, baked potato, and side salad. The food came quickly and staff is very friendly and attentive. The fries are cooked perfectly! Crispy on the outside and tender and juicy. The portions are large and well presented. The hamburger steak was large and tender and cooked rare just as I requested. I was a bit disheartened they were out of the vegetable beef soup but I'll try it next time. My husband had the roast beef and liked the flavor but said was disappointed his mashed potatoes and the gravy were cold. Our daughter had the chicken strips and said it's a solid 7/10 for her and would have been a 10 if they had marshmallows for the hot cocoa. Overall it's a nice little spot and we'll be back to try their breakfast and lunch. read more

Overpriced cheap crap. Crowded room full of hillbillies. Charged me for fried pickles and never got them. Waste of a good night out.

This brand new restaurant in Ellsinore, MO just opened two days ago and they already got every thing right! Friendly staff, very accommodating (with my dietary needs), delicious food! We'd seen this at the beginning of our week in the area (be SURE you go see Big Spring!) but it wasn't open yet. Then the "Opening Soon" sign was gone, so we stopped for breakfast as we readied to leave for home. There were no negatives at all; often a restaurant has a rough start getting everything going. I had the Western omelette; they made it without tomatoes for me. It was a comfortable environment and we got to meet the owners. We hope for lots of success; I'm thrilled to set up this Yelp entry for them to get them going! read more

Turned around after spotting the sign. Glad we did. The Smothered Chicken and Fried Fish made a great late lunch. So much that we had leftovers for dinner too since we were on the road a lot that day. read more

The food is really good. Diner fare, so catfish, beef & potatoes, chili, pie--well-prepared, friendly atmosphere, also outdoor dining.

Just a short stop for lunch. Got Chicken/Bacon Wrap. Plenty big, with potato chips. Wrap was very good. Small and clean restaurant (loved the "Heros Walls"). Our server was friendly and outgoing. All in all, a good stop. read more

D’s Country Kitchen - the american flag hanging on the wall - Waffles Near Me - Ellsinore, Missouri

There is a huge sign that says the restaurant is open everyday and we drove several miles to get there. When we arrived the sign says Closed on Mondays. This is very aggravating and frustrating for people driving from out of town assuming that places are open when they're not. This is like the fourth place that we drove up to that says they're open online and on the sign but closed when we arrive. read more

Great family place with excellent "taste the love" food. Drivers there is parking out back for probably 5-6 trucks. I had the country fried steak breakfast with over easy eggs and hash browns and it was excellent. Sorry that there is not much to describe in CFS, eggs and hash browns other than to say it was a delicious, reasonably priced breakfast and that you should stop in and try this place. read more

Cute clean place with great service and good breakfast. I am sure the rest of their meals are just as good. It's your typical down home southern diner fare but with out the smoke stained pleather and old decor. Looks to be newly renovated or recently built. Just take care on the gravel drive as you turn in. read more

We were traveling to this area and decided to check this place out based on the recommendations on Yelp. Definitely worth a visit! We both had the breakfast special which was absolutely delicious. The prices are good & the service excellent. One warning, it was raining the day we visited & the parking lot was muddy! read more

Stopped at D''s County Kitchen on the way to FLW for breakfast where it is conveniently located off Hwy 60; although you will have to travel on gravel road to get to the entrance. This place is for sure a local spot. The ambiance is country with a tin roof and antique wall decor. It is very apparent the owners are appreciative and supportive of veterans. There is a wall honoring those who served. The waitress was friendly. Our food was ample and typical of a breakfast menu. We did however ask for the hash browns to be cooked more but like always they came as they normally do...limp. The biscuits were flaky, fluffy and delicious. I'm sure we will be returning but may not be for breakfast. Enjoy! :) read more

My family and I were traveling from Nashville to Branson and wanted breakfast. D's was the only place that showed up on the map so we decided to give it a try. We were pleasantly surprised! The food was good, place was clean and new, and service was great! We also love the tribute to fallen soldiers. Totally recommend! read more

I did not expect much from this restaurant and even heard that it wasn't good from other people but I ate it and ended up liking it! I mean it's not a 5 star restaurant by any means but it's good and does the job. read more

Drove to Elsinore to meet some friends on Friday night. Took over an hour to get the food, for those of us who received the food, and the food was cold and unfit to eat. The owners were very angry when we asked them to reheat the food or to take the orders off that were never received. It was the rudest unprofessional experience at a restaurant. I would not recommend this restaurant. read more

What a great find!! Stopped in for a late lunch on our way back home from Home Depot in Poplar Bluff. Our hamburgers were very good along with the fries and onion rings. Cowboy cookies for dessert were awesome!! Pictures aren't the best due to picture taker!! Waitress was fantastic and food arrived quickly. Glad they had patio dining so our dog could join us outside . They're an hour from home but planning to return for breakfast and dinner in the near future. read more
