Great food. Great service. This will be a new go-to on our frequent road trips down I-44. At the…read moreHen House you are warmly greeted. The food comes very quick considering it's fried chicken. Prices are so low! I had chicken and waffles with a side of Cole slaw. That was only 8.99. I normally pay $15 or more for less food. The chicken was delicious and you get two nice, hot waffles. You have a choice between tenders or bone in chicken with the waffles. My husband had both fried chicken and a bowl. He is super picky about fried chicken and gave it full approval. I will have a bowl next time because it was fantastic. And the biscuit is crazy good. They play music videos - great eclectic mix. Kind of a dive bar feel, but in the best way. If you are on I-44 by St Robert/Ft Leonard Wood it's worth the five minutes off the interstate it takes to get here.

Breakfast menu covered every option you might want. Portions were ample. Green peppers, onions, and ham in omelets were pre-sautéed, bringing special flavors to entrees. Everyone gave their meals very high marks for taste. The atmosphere was "local town genuine" and decidedly un-chain-like. We ordered a giant cinnamon roll for the table. It was a cube 6 inches on every side. Our first impression was "how can this brick be good all the way through?" BUT IT WAS! The core was the size of a softball and we fought over pieces like Black Friday Walmart shoppers.

They claim the gravy was best at the LOZ and it lived up to the billing. The eggs were fluffy and flavorful. The sausage patties were delicious. One person in our group got the cinnamon roll and all 6 of us enjoyed a huge slice of it. It was as big as a cake. Jessica our server took awesome care of us. The owner came to us and what a great person he turned out to be. He had such knowledge of the old strip of Bagnal dam area. The restaurant was clean and spiffy and had lots of charm. If in the area you must try this restaurant. Thanks for a wonderful meal.

This one is neither of those. It's winter time and we drove over an hour to come just to eat here. Prime rib is either GREAT or kind of underwhelming. Good outweighs the bad though. Our only complaint is this place you cannot get to by boat. But if you could, it would be double the price.

I had a wedge salad, coated with Gorgonzola and bacon, paired with a delicious salad dressing. The homemade croutons were a nice touch as well. For my entree, I had the open faced roast beef sandwich. It wasn't exactly what I was expecting but the gravy, mashed potatoes, and green beans tasted really delicious and warm in a cold evening. Service was fast and attentive. Enjoyed our dinner.
