Tenderloin with fries and slaw.

1st visit for me and my wife. I had the tenderloin sandwich basket & she had chicken finger basket with o-rings. We also got a piece of strawberry pie to split. Total cost $20. I've had giant tenderloin sandwiches from a lot of difference restaurants but can honestly say this is the best one for me. The meat was cooked to perfection and it was freshly made - not frozen. 5 stars. Fries and slaw were good but nothing special 3stars. Chicken fingers were freshly made not frozen so above average 4 stars. All pies are made fresh by the owner - 5 stars. If you find your way by Tightwad, Mo. (Truman Lake) it is in my opinion the best that area has to offer. FYI I visited with the owner about how good it was and I would post on Yelp. She never heard of Yelp so I showed her on my smart phone. She was pleasantly surprised. Update: I understand Donna is ill. Closed all 2017. Pray she's doing better and will be back open in 2018.

Great little drive-in. Quality food and always friendly service. The fish basket is my favorite.

Food was great! Carry out only with COVID but food only took about 20 min and we sat at the picnic tables and ate. Worth the wait.

We were hungry for a good piece of pie and we found it at Donna's. Hamburger and tenderloin was good too.
