We stopped at Carla's for lunch, and were so glad we took a chance!…read more It's a nice, unassuming Cafe in downtown, right by the railroad tracks and station. We had the all you can eat catfish lunch and fries. Everything was freshly fried, very hot and very good. I don't normally like hush puppies, but these were excellent! They're more like little corn muffins, not too greasy or oniony. Service was very quick. The server was very friendly. The only thing I'd warn folks about is they allow smoking. Thankfully, the ventilation was working well. We'll return!

Wow. Glad we did a search and found the Riverside Grill -- we all loved our lunch. It was clearly a…read morelocals place (off major highways and all) and the food is freshly made in-house which is so uncommon now. I asked what they do best and the waitress confidently recommended catfish and proceeded to talk about the breading and all. A woman at a nearby table said "it's so good" and held up a piece to take a bite. I was sold and the crunch of the breading was awesome and the fish was amazing! The hand cut fries were great too. And because I needed more fried food, I ordered a side of fried pickles. Yum with ranch! My sister had the ribeye sandwich and wouldn't stop talking about how awesome it was. She loved everything about it. Made each of us try it. Talked about the marinade, the fresh mushrooms that were sauted and all the things. And the onion rings were so good she gushed. My brother-in-law had a brisket pastrami that he loved. We had a great server who was friendly, quick and knew the place inside and out! They have been traveling for three weeks and said this was the best meal of the trip! That definitely rates stars and a Yelp review!

Food was pretty decent , table was clean and it had a diner vibe…read more Service was not very good tbh , place wasn't crowded when I came in only a few customers, took a bit before the waitress brought me a menu took awhile more before she came and took my order. She didn't bother checking on me for coffee refill ect I got tired of waiting to pay and walked up to counter to see if I could pay and leave. Had to wait for her and the cook till they finished arguing with another patron about a sandwich wrap. Took a few more minutes to get her to ring me up. The cook seemed irritated and told the lady "I'll remake it" If it was me seeing how annoyed he was I wouldn't eat that wrap. I won't be going back , my omelet was decent and would rate a 4 star but the service was horrible. Waitress seemed more inclined to gab with other staff or checking her phone than tending to customers.

Love the people in this place. Always so friendly. Food feels like you're eating at home. Why…read morenot eat at home? Well that's a good thing. It's real food, cooked the way it's supposed to be and you get the atmosphere of a diner. It's obvious they have regulars and they tend to know everyone's name. It's a beautiful thing if you're used to living in a small town. Can't recommend this place enough.

We love the breakfast sandwich on milk bread with egg, cheddar and ham (or sausage). It's such a generous portion for $5! The milk bread is homemade also. Love the cinnamon rolls and definitely don't shy away from the daily soups or sandwiches- we had the Greek soup this week and I'd eat that again in a heartbeat- so healthy and satisfying. I had their chicken salad on croissant with the soup and it's an old fashioned recipe- completely creamy and no chunks of anything or nuts in it. Unfortunately- I don't have photos - I'll update with pics next time!

The prices are very reasonable. I had the pork tenderloin sandwich with fried mushrooms, and both were very good. The tenderloin was on Texas toast-unusual, but a great idea! My lunch buddy had a burger and fries, and he enjoyed both. Nothing fancy about the decor, but who needs that when the food is so good? We split a cherry fried pie, and that was the perfect ending to a great lunch! Check them out if you're in the Ironton/Arcadia St Francis (Francois?) Mt area!

Travel Tip, If you find your self traveling from Farmington…read morenorth on Hwy 67 and like a great rest stop and a great, fabulous semi small but very nice and clean and friendlies servers ever, you need to dial in THE COUNTRY CAFE at 2561 US Hwy 67, Fetus, Mo. (I believe) they have a huge choices of all food taste and the home baked pies are to stay at the pie stand an drull and they taste even better. The one thing we get everytime we com through North and or South is the fried chicken dinners or stop and or call it in and pick it up. But you need to call soon as you know you time table because they sometime sell out, along with mashed potatoes veggie, ie corn, beans ect. I've been allover this country and bar ery few it's the best chicken or any I have ever had (sorry Mom, Grandma). But is that good, check out the parking lot as you go by and you'll it's well know to traverlers on S. And N.bound Hwy 55 traffic. Stop by there GREAT in every way.
