Towers of smoke were visible across the prairie from the controlled burns. The smoky heated gases escaping straight up for hundreds of feet, undisturbed by the calm air, then billowing out like a big shade tree as they cool to the elevation. The temperature is perfect. Everything is green, growing, getting what needs to be done before the blistering summer heat. A great day to take a scenic drive to Mandy's Café. It has been a couple of years. A big double burger like the last time, but with fries today. The burger is a meal itself; stay focused on it. There will be fries left behind. The best burger for 50 miles in any direction.

Our party of 4 were seated immediately and the wait staff took drink order. Menu has a large variety of items ranging from burgers, steaks, seafood, chicken etc. I ordered 16 oz. Ribeye medium with baked potato, others ordered 24 oz. Sirloin, Salmon and hamburger steak. All steaks were cooked as ordered without any complaints. Ribeye and Sirloin steaks all tender, juicy and perfect seasoning. Everyone was pleased with their sides, salad bar is perfect with their variety of options and all ingredients were fresh and plentiful. All staff were friendly and courteous. My only small recommendation (not a complaint) is they need a smaller steak option 8 oz. or 10 oz. for those of us with smaller appetites. My steak (the 16 oz ribeye) was the smallest listed on dinner menu. Prices are reasonable for the quality of food you are receiving and most dinners include a trip to the salad bar.

Arrived 10 minutes early took 20 to be seated by the Bartender no Hostess. Thank god you are forced to have reservations for Dinner. 45 minutes later after we got seated we flagged down the Bartender Hostess to take our order. Our waitress Stacy never came to our table she has 4 in a row and would skip us Everytime! Seems you need to be a Local to eat here or even get service. FOOD: Appetizer 4 star Hand Breaded Mushrooms Very well seasoned fried well slightly soggy 4 stars Wife and I had ordered identical meals 16 oz Ribeye Med-Rare House salad and Loaded baked Potatoes. SALAD Lettuce is old rotten. RIBEYE STEAKS: Wife's is the picture. Medium Burnt to Hell on the outside. She is ok with it. I hate burnt food. It should have never left the kitchen but it was more tender than my medium rare. The statement on the menu is Center cut Steaks. My wife's was a center cut mine an end chunk. Low Quality Beef. Wife's 2 star mine a 1 star Torched as Hell steak. Would have complained but with no management or waitress who do you even talk to. My Honest opinion if you give this above 3 Stars you are Just used to Crap Food and Service and You don't know any better. $200 of pure Sh@$!!! Overall 1 star. Worst of 27 Anniversary Meals.

We didn't have much hope of finding a restaurant still open after 8:30 in a small, rural town and worried we'd have to drive far out of our way to find something to eat, but we spied this charming bar glowing across the street. What an oasis! We walked in to find a cool watering hole with a safari theme, complete with real taxidermied African animals on the wall and creative lighting that was fun, inviting and surprisingly chic. Our waitress was helpful and nice and had great drink and food suggestions. The fare was quite good and again, more than we expected. We were impressed they graciously marked vegetarian items as such in their menu which was much appreciated by the vegetarian in our troupe. We also LOVED their version of a Long Island Iced Tea, which we highly recommend if you're ever there. It was a great place to unwind and debrief from our event and being late on a weeknight, we pretty much had the place to ourselves, so it was the perfect ending to our time in Sedan. A nice meal here was just what we needed to fuel our long, late night journey back to the city.

A 2+ hour drive from OKC for lunch might sound like a commitment--but when a place has been on your…read moreradar for years, sometimes you just make the trip. That's exactly what we did to visit The Pioneer Woman Mercantile, and overall, it delivered a really enjoyable experience. The Experience We planned ahead and made online reservations (highly recommended), especially when you're traveling that far. We arrived about 30 minutes early, checked in, and spent some time browsing the retail shop. It's well-stocked with plenty of Pioneer Woman flair--fun to look around, even if nothing made it into our cart this time. We were seated right on schedule, and our server, Tatyana, set the tone immediately--friendly, attentive, and professional throughout the meal. The Food Let's start with the surprise... Biscuits with butter & peach jam -- I'll be honest, I'm not usually a biscuit guy, but these were soft, warm, and downright addictive. Chicken Fried Steak -- This is what you come for. Crispy coating, tender inside, and covered in a rich, peppery gravy that hits all the right notes. Classic comfort food done right. Ribeye Steak -- Well-seasoned and cooked properly. My wife originally wanted a loaded baked potato (they were out), so she pivoted to loaded mashed potatoes--which turned out to be a solid backup plan. Side Salads -- Fresh, simple, and a good balance to the heavier entrees. Don't Skip the Bakery (Upstairs!) We passed on dessert at the table and headed upstairs--and this might have been the best decision of the day. * Pecan Pie Cookie -- Absolute standout. Rich, sweet, and unique. Don't leave without one. * Snickerdoodle & Iced Lemon Cookie -- Both excellent and gone quickly. Atmosphere The space feels exactly how you'd expect--warm, inviting, and comfortable with a touch of that signature Ree Drummond style. The lighting, decor, and layout all make it a place you don't feel rushed to leave. The Verdict Was it worth the drive? Yes. Would I do it again? Also yes--especially as a planned day trip. It doesn't quite hit that 5 level for me, but it's a very strong 4 experience with great service, solid food, and a memorable setting. @cheft_2469 Scorecard * Food: * Service: * Atmosphere: * Value: Pro Tips (Read Before You Go) * Make a reservation - This is a destination spot and fills up fast, especially on weekends. * Arrive early - Gives you time to browse the retail shop before your table is ready. * Skip dessert at the table - Head upstairs to the bakery instead... trust me on this one. * Get the Pecan Pie Cookie - Non-negotiable. It's the standout item. * Chicken Fried Steak is the play - If you're on the fence, this is the safe bet. * Have a backup side in mind - Items like baked potatoes can sell out. * Plan it as a day trip - Pawhuska isn't just lunch, it's the whole experience. * Go before peak tourist season - You'll enjoy it more without the heavy crowds. "Sometimes the best meals aren't just about the food--they're about the road trip, the experience, and who you share it with. This one checked all those boxes."

The whole town is booming with shops and other opportunities for you to experience but when you go into her personal store, thousands of items on display for you to choose from whether it's for home decor or four just getting some unique pottery Bourne items for your kitchen. It's a great stop. We have been there multiple times throughout the years. To suggestions of course as you must go there to have their breakfast you will tremendously enjoy it their biscuits homemade fresh. You will truly love their biscuits. You most definitely have to try out their bakery. It's up the stairs, but I tell you one thing you are going to love it and regret it at the same time so many great options to choose from made fresh right there and you can even watch them make it and it's actually pocketbook friendly on their bakery items which I wasn't expecting. I was thinking it would be a little bit more pricey but I think about five or six items and spent less than 40 bucks in each item is a good portion size. Last thing I would suggest is make sure to see if they have any samples cause it doesn't hurt to ask and usually they do have samples coming out every hour or so so you could enjoy and even try it before you buy it So if you're here in that area, I suggest you stop in. You won't regret it. It'll be fun and a great place just to grab a goodbye to eat

My mom tried the meatloaf with mashed potatoes and gravy and coleslaw. She said the coleslaw was great. The meatloaf was a massive serving, about two inches thick!
