Vibes of Dairy Queen but higher quality in a small town. You know what place is worthy to go to if there's a line for food every moment it's open. We came for a family float/ canoe trip and decided Dairy Shack was somewhere we had to stop. Partly due to the fact we brought our dog but we didn't need to worry since Dairy Schack has only outdoor seating aka dog friendly. All of us ordered and didn't leave a crumb of the burgers and fries. I specifically ordered the mushroom Swiss burger and the better half got the Quarter Pound burger.

I don't even know where to begin. If you're a kid of the 80s or 90s, this will send you down memory lane. 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.

Walk up window to order. There was always a line when we drove by but it moved fast enough when we ate there. Find a seat on the side and they call your name when your order is ready. They called us for our drinks first then the food a couple minutes later. Everything was fresh and hot. I had the pork tenderloin sandwich with tater tots and no complaints. They did get the toppings on my wife's burger wrong and we didn't try to correct it. We topped it off with an avalanche (DQ Blizzard equivalent) which did not disappoint. Parking is a little challenging because of the crowd, but not impossible.

Snappin' turtle Sundae

Excellent ice cream! Snappin' turtle Sundae is great! Blackberry cobbler also very delicious.

The best place for ice cream, fried snacks, and to pet the local off-leash dogs.

man this place has really gone downhill last time we were here. i had the classic burger and fries…read morethis time the burger was mediocre and the fries were so goddamn oily i couldnt even eat it all. everything else was fine but they also used ai which bumps it down another star for me... do better scruff's

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.
