    Chicken fried steak
    Nancy H.

    What a great diner located in Golden, MO! SUPER-CLEAN, really friendly staff and the atmosphere is so quaint. I got the patty melt with fries and my husband ordered the chicken-fried steak. We were very pleased! For dessert, the chocolate meringue pie. I saw the staff dishing up homemade chicken noodle soup that looked amazing. I will definitely try this next time.

    Great little diner next to an old hanger. I had their country fried steak and it was excellent. Great option if you're in the TRL area.

    Sometimes the Memory Is Better Left Alone: A Disappointing Return to Sparky's Roadhouse…read more I remembered Sparky's Roadhouse as a place of great burgers, familiar surroundings, and happy family memories. When I finally returned to the Eureka Springs restaurant after many years away, I expected to rediscover that same experience. Instead, the visit quickly showed me how far the Sparky's of today seemed to have fallen from the one I had cherished. After many years away, my wife and I recently had the opportunity to return to Sparky's. I was genuinely excited about it. I remembered the restaurant as a fun, casual Eureka Springs favorite with great burgers, a unique atmosphere, and the kind of personality that made you look forward to coming back. Unfortunately, the Sparky's I visited this time bore very little resemblance to the restaurant I remembered. The disappointment started with the menu. The selection seemed diminished from what I remembered, and what was once an easy decision because so many things sounded good became a struggle to find something that interested me. I ultimately went with a burger, thinking that at least I could revisit one of the things I remembered and loved most about Sparky's. That nostalgia disappeared when the burger arrived. The burger seemed surprisingly small compared with what I remembered from years ago. More importantly, it simply wasn't very good. I would describe it as mediocre at best. It wasn't necessarily the worst burger I've ever had, but that almost made the experience more disappointing. This was Sparky's, a place where I remembered the burgers being something worth talking about. What I received this time was forgettable and nothing like the burgers that had helped make the restaurant a favorite of mine and my family years ago. The service unfortunately did nothing to improve the experience. On this visit, I found it inattentive and frustrating to the point that I would describe it as dismissive at best. A restaurant can sometimes overcome an average meal through friendly, attentive service and genuine hospitality. That wasn't my experience here. Even more concerning to me was the condition of the restaurant itself. During our visit, the seating and countertops appeared dirty, and there were numerous flies throughout the interior dining area. The overall environment simply did not give me the impression of the cleanliness and attention to detail I expect from a restaurant. One of the food items also did not taste right to me, which, combined with what I was observing around the dining area, made it difficult to enjoy the meal. I recognize that restaurants change. Menus evolve, ownership and employees may change, costs increase, and the restaurant industry has faced challenges that didn't exist years ago. I also understand that a single visit represents a snapshot in time and may not reflect every customer's experience or every day of operation. But that doesn't change the disappointment of this particular visit. I returned to Sparky's hoping to reconnect with a place tied to some of my family's happiest memories. Instead, the meal, service, and condition of the restaurant made it clear that the Sparky's I remembered exists only in the past. Nostalgia had preserved it perfectly, but returning replaced that warm memory with disappointment. For that reason, I won't be returning... not because the past meant nothing, but because it meant too much to risk revisiting it again. Sometimes the best way to preserve a cherished memory is to leave it where it belongs: in the past.

    Not the best but definitely worth a try if you are there for the campground or marina…read more My husband & I took our two kids to stay the weekend at the big M campground. It was a nice surprise to see that they had a restaurant on the lake. On Friday night my husband & I went to have a few drinks and try their food. All drinks including water came in cans or bottles but that doesn't surprise me since they actually sit on the lake. They had a nice selection of beers & hard seltzer. That night we tried their fish taco, shrimp taco & Street taco basket. We enjoyed the fish & shrimp taco but it seems like the street taco was just a hamburger patty and nothing special. The next morning we all went to have breakfast which is only available on Saturday and Sunday. I had the skillet omelets. It was very good but lacked a little flavor but after adding salt, pepper, the salsa that came with it and a little Ketchup it was delicious. The family favorite. My husband enjoyed his big M breakfast but he felt the same that it lacked flavor. My son had the biscuits and Gravy but he really didn't like it at all. It might have been an off morning for them.
