The service was friendly but it took an hour for us to receive our food which wasn't too bad since my boyfriend and I killed time watching videos and talking but if you're in a rush say on a lunch break or something definitely don't come here. They are still extremely new and I think someone said that they had only been opened for a week or two but still that wait... We both ordered the same thing. Two double old fashioned meals which we did really enjoy. The beef they use was really fresh and delicious and we really liked the fries as well. Everything was hot and fresh! Would visit again but definitely on a slower night and maybe once they've been opened for a little longer. Overall not bad.

This is not the restaurant it was or in the same place. My friends and I had eaten here a couple…read moreyears ago riding to Tennessee. It was a great restaurant and we decided to meet here once again. From the highway, the restaurant looked closed, with no cars in the parking lot. We soon discovered that it had moved to an old storefront location down town. The building was old, but clean. The one restroom was also a bathroom with tub and shower. We were immediately seated, served coffee, and drinks and placed our order. Several of us had omelettes with biscuits and gravy. We were served coffee and our cups were diligently kept full as we waited for our food and waited and waited and waited and waited. Finally food begin to appear one order at a time for my friends to complete their food before the next order would appear. The orders we're also served lukewarm. One friend had the Philly cheesesteak omelette. It's cheese, two slices of processed white cheese lazily placed on the top. The omelette was not hot enough to even melt the cheese. But at least one friend had ordered the vegetable and cheese omelette, which was served without cheese likewise had ordered the vegetable cheese omelette, requesting egg whites. The waitress kind of looked at me funny when I ordered egg whites. I asked if they had egg whites. She assured me that they did. But I got was a pile of egg whites, not resembling an omelette with a scoop of oily sautéed vegetables placed on top and no cheese. In fairness, the waitress did offered to bring me a slice of cheese however, I knew as cold as the omelette was there was no way it would melt and who wants cold cheese and cold eggs? In all it took over an hour for six of us to be served lukewarm food, and messed up orders. We were all very disappointed and will not be stopping here again. What was really a great restaurant when it was in its old facility clearly demonstrated its quality of food. It is no longer there keep going. You're not that far from Springfield if you're headed west and there's gotta be better , if you're headed east

There was something off-putting about the CFS. I didn't care for the coating or the gravy. I'd give it a 2/5. My stepmom gave it a 4/5. Her tastebuds are broken. My dad enjoyed his omelette and said the veggies were lightly sautéed and not greasy. The service was good. The wait was not worth the taste of the CFS, but honestly, 0 minutes of waiting is not worth the CFS. I typically love CFS, but in this case, I wish I had tried the French toast instead. Me: 2/5 (based solely on taste, 5/5 for portion size) Stepmom: 4/5 Dad: 5/5 then amended to 8/10, which is 4/5

My wife, son visiting from CO and I went in for lunch to explore the store and the restaurant. The lower level was not open for us to check out be we noticed they do have tours which we'll have to check out on a future visit. We waited a little to be seated but were greeted by a very friendly hostess, who seated us where we had a great view of the Finley River. The decor was authentically rustic no doubt chocked full of history that we would have enjoyed learning. Our server Joy brought menus including a seasonal lunch and "Express" menus. LOTS of intriguing starters, entrees and desserts. We started with salmon dip, which was very tasty. We then ordered our entrees which consisted of the fried catfish, Smash burger and fried chicken sandwich (with the hot rub.) All were outstanding! I love lots of spice and have to say I don't think my request for "extra hot " got to the chef. Anyway the spicy chicken sandwich was flavorful. Overall we had a great first experience. Joy was a friendly and helpful server but she may have been spread a little thin. The Ozark Mill is definitely a repeater for us!

We decided to try the tenderloin sandwich (a first for both of us). They were happy to cut it in half and prepare two sets of lettuce and toppings and give us a second plate. It was really good! There's no doubt this would have been too much food for just one of us. We split a side of fries. There's a reason this place hasn't changed much since the 1950s. It's great as it is.
