It seems like a great spot for groups of friends and families, with a welcoming vibe. Our server, KK, was very friendly and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed. The food was good, with generous portions that definitely gave us the energy we needed for the rest of our drive. The pork steak was a standout for me--well cooked and full of flavor. I also really enjoyed the fried green tomatoes, which were crispy and satisfying. All in all, The Fishin' Pig is a good place for a laid back, hearty meal.

1 Star -- Spoiled Burger and Very Concerning Response…read more My friend and I stopped at Fishin' Pig in Poplar Bluff for supper tonight around 5 PM. What started as an ordinary dinner turned into a very concerning food-safety experience. I ordered the Holy Cow Burger, and my friend ordered the brisket po boy with an extra order of fries. His sandwich did not seem to be brisket at all--it appeared to be pot roast and contained a huge piece of fat. He also never received the extra fries he ordered; the portion he received was no larger than mine. We had the missing fries removed from the bill. The much bigger problem was my burger. I immediately smelled that the meat was spoiled when it arrived. My friend smelled it as well. I took only a couple of very small bites and stopped eating it. I sent it back and, understandably, had completely lost my appetite and didn't order anything else. We told our waitress what was wrong. Unfortunately, she did not seem particularly concerned and mostly shrugged it off. It also appeared that the kitchen staff had not been made aware of the problem. Things became even more concerning afterward. My friend posted about our experience on Facebook, and the manager responded almost immediately. The manager then checked the burger meat in the kitchen and apparently discovered that the meat was indeed spoiled and disposed of all of it. That is a serious food-safety failure. I'm an older man, and spoiled food can potentially cause significant illness, especially for older customers and those with health conditions. The fact that management ultimately found the meat bad enough to discard it makes the situation even more troubling. An elderly couple was actually ordering burgers as we were leaving. I sincerely hope they noticed the odor and did not eat the same meat. Thankfully, I only consumed a couple of tiny bites. Hopefully that will spare me from any health consequences, but I shouldn't have to wonder whether a meal I ordered at a restaurant is going to make me sick. The food quality was poor, the extra fries were never delivered, and most importantly, spoiled meat was served to a customer. Even more troubling was the apparent lack of urgency when the problem was initially reported. Fishin' Pig needs to take this very seriously. Food safety isn't something a restaurant can afford to shrug off. I will not be returning, and I strongly recommend that management review its food-handling, inspection, and employee-reporting procedures.

So pleasantly surprised!…read more It's easy to overlook and underestimate this place, since it's attached to a Holiday Inn. I'm here to say that it's worth giving Castello's a shot! I'm talking to you snobby foodies too... I had the Seafood Ravioli with the side salad and House Vinaigrette. The house vinaigrette was really nice, tasted like it was strawberry infused which was quite nice. The garlic croutons soaked in the vinaigrette with a grape tomato, red onion and some lettuce = perfect bite! Only criticism is the large amount of shredded mozzarella that really downgrades this simple salad...but it probably appeals to the local clientele so, understandable...

The decor was all wood like a forest puked all over the place with stuffed creatures on the walls. It had a bar next to the front dining room and a dining room in back. For some reason this restaurant was was a smoking restaurant with a woman smoking at the next table while she ate her food, yuck. The menu isn't huge but it had a pork cutlet sandwich and I reminisced on the great IA ones so I ordered that. The pork cutlet looked unimpressive because it was on toasted white bread with lettuce, tomato and onion. It was a frozen thing that was just ok and I wished I ordered a cheeseburger instead. The young woman, grand daughter of the owner was not on the ball because the service was lacking. After we were done with our food she completely forgot about us and played on her phone behind the bar so after 10 minutes of waiting/watching I went to the bar and asked for the check.
