    Chicken fried chicken
    Renee B.

    On way home and decided to stop in. This is an establishment that's been in business for a while. Walking in you feel as though you are stepping into a family home. Quaintly decorated. The menu is more home style comfort type foods. I had the chicken fried chicken, and was so pleasantly happy on how good it was. Not greasy at all. Perfectly cooked. Had it with mashed potatoes and corn, two awesome sides to pair with it. Parents had the catfish dinner, which again fried to perfection and not greasy at all. Good corn meal type of breading. A great stop and easy to get to off the highway.

    Well ! We went back ! Not that great ! Going back to CB (Cracker Barrel) this place just has a lot to correct ! The place is way to large for the staff they have. Our waitress was very nice but there was no way she could keep up with the tables they gave her especially when she got a 9 top . It took forever for service and food. We had to ask for dessert, she never offered.. something all waitress's should do ! We did get the dessert which should have been served warmed up was not that great bread pudding. We waited for coffee for 15 mins. Never never got it ! We were done at this point ... ! The place just can not handle what they have built... we see several people leave . No one I mean no one greets u at the entrance. Very sad ! We will now take a 6 month break from this place .. Also steaks are sold at Market Value $30 for 8oz strip .. That's just crazy !!!

    Receipt adds up wrong. Someone please explain this math to me?

    Food was meh. Overpriced for what it was. Waitress was great. Trying to figure out my receipt and I can't make the math work. Anyone?

    Nice new building with gorgeous fireplace. But service leaves too much to be desired. Staff walked back & forth and no one borhered to greet us until a young man finally asked to seat us. Drinks ordered but had to ask for straws and coffee creamer. I believe a good server would ask if we need these things before bringing drinks or at least when they deliver sodas. And did you know you get dinner rolls? Had to ask since three tables got some that were sat after we were. She didn't even ask if we wanted them. I was ready for the check before the food ever arrived. Foof was good but when you have to ask for condiments, food temp suffers. Def not 5 star service to go with 5 star prices.

    Great food and service. Very clean.  Philly cheese. Oops, i forgot to take a picture before.

    The food was delicious. The service was on the mark. Fast, fresh & hot. The restaurant is very clean and welcoming. We will be back.

    Two piece chicken dinner with salad, mashed potatoes with gravy, green beans, and rolls.

    I was driving on I-44 around dinner time a saw a outdoor billboard sign for the Du Kum Inn Testaurant. The sign said they offered the best fried chicken in the State of Missouri. I thought what the heck! I will give that a try. I pulled over to the Sullivan Exit and entered the restaurant. This isn't anything fancy... they serve home-style food. What they do, they do very well. They were offering a two piece fried chicken dinner that day, so I selected that. The chicken was juicy and tender. It came with a side salad, green beans, mashed potatoes with gravy and warm rolls. This was a great dinner. I finished it off with a slice of home made cherry pie with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Try this place out.

    Good breakfast, good service My husband and I had a good breakfast at this restaurant. I had coffee, eggs over easy, sausage, pancakes and a piece of rye toast. I recall liking the pancakes a lot. We ordered off the menu. The service is good. We arrived a bit late for the breakfast buffet. The server told us that the buffet would not be replenished; whatever was there was all that was available. We didn't want the buffet anyhow. A young boy arriving after us looked longingly at the almost empty tub of bacon on the buffet table. The server brought out more bacon, and the boy was very happy. I was pleased that the server allowed this family to better enjoy the buffet. If we pass through Sullivan again, we would enjoy returning to this restaurant.

    I have to say I was pretty impressed with this place, it's nothing to look at pretty dated inside. However it is clean and the food is good and after a day of travel that is what my family and I needed. The staff is very friendly! They are also pretty speedy, I had the Strawberry Vinaigrette Salad, it came with rolls it was very good, super filling and tasty. My Mom had patty melt and she loved every bite of it. My Step Dad has the Saturday Special it was a Rib Eye steak metal he really enjoyed. We would definitely kum back in :D

    This restaurant has changed to DKI steakhouse. Has great parking for a big truck or pickup and trailer. The food was fresh and tasted great. Will be back again.

    Feel like home vibe and truly best fried chicken!

    A true hidden gem, this place knows how to make you feel like home! It lives up to its name, "Best fried chicken in Missouri " The chicken fried chicken with mashed tators and steamed broccoli is out of this world!! Husband had the three pig sandwich (pork chop fritter, thin sliced ham and abundant bacon). Their Hand made onion rings are rare to find! When you bite into it, crust doesn't slip off!!!!! We didn't even have room for one of the home made pies! definitely next time we come back! Sherri was so attentive, sweet and pretty! Please tip your waitresses! Very comfortable atmosphere!

    This place is fine to go to during the week day with family…read more The outside and inside of the establishment is a bit outdated. When you walk in, there is a waiting area in conjunction with having a drive-thru. The typical wait time is supposed to be 30 minutes, but I only had to wait for 4 minutes which was nice. The hostess took me to my table. As im approaching my table the floor felt greasy and there was crumbs and napkins I saw on the ground at various spots. I was greeted by a server and she introduced herself. Her name was Jaycee. I really appreciate her hospitality. She gave us some pickles which was so sweet and delicious. When ordering food, my spouse ordered the Catfish meal w/cucumber salad and okra. I ordered the Crabcakes with Coleslaw and Mac n cheese. My spouse loved the Catfish and the sides. I did try a piece of the Catfish and it was good for me too. When it came to my food, I thought it can be room for improvement. The Crabcakes were fried. They were a bit overcooked but, I still ate it with cocktail sauce. The coleslaw was advertised as "creamy", but instead it was watery. I did not finish this side item. The Mac n cheese noodles were a bit overcooked but the taste was there. I could not finish eating this side item either. I did purchase the Carrot Cake and I ATE EVERY LAST CRUMB.

    I love good catfish. Problem is, it's hard to find. It's usually cold, rubbery, and/or poor in…read moreflavor. Well none of that applies to this place. This place was everything I was hoping. The locals said it was great and they weren't lying. The waitress was great and very attentive. The place was clean, which is hard to do with fried foods. I'll definitely be eating here again when I'm in town. Loved it.

When we walked in I was impressed with two things. The smell of seafood heavy in the air and the decor. Definitely takes you back to the ocean and seafood ! The service was pretty good and our server (Alyssa) was spot on. Friendly and always checking on us. She was helpful too giving us suggestions on what to order. So we picked the Special B. Came in about 15 minutes and was huge. Tons of shrimp, crab legs, corn, sausage, potatoes the most amazing juice it sat in. Here's a tip. Bring your own rubber disposable gloves. You're gonna get messy and their gloves fit loose. Awesome place, really good seafood, great service and a pretty good price.

I ordered the kirkwood combo with mild spice and old bay and garlic seasoning. There was crab, shrimp, sausage, potatoes and corn. The spice was a bit spicy for mild but it didn't bother me, I only bring this up for the spice sensitive. It was just enough for one person to eat if they were Hungry, but feasibly could be enough for two with small appetites. There were a good number of shrimp and crab legs and they were fresh and tasty. I don't like sausage so I didn't eat that but I did eat the potatoes and corn and they were delicious soaked in the liquid from my boil. I have been looking for a decent boil because my daughter also loves boils and down south where we lived for quite some time there are plenty. Storming crab will be our go to place for boils. It was really very good. Also let me add before I end, one thing that drew me here was prices. I don't mind paying for a good boil but I do mind if it is too much for me to eat and half gets thrown out. It was nice to find a place that had a good boil for one person that was priced well for the food received. I am very happy with my decision to go here and will definitely be back.
