Was off the beaten path in Savannah, Mo. in search of BBQ but the restaurant I was headed to is not open on Sunday. Saw a few cars in front of Hometown Bistro so pinch-hit there. Fried chicken was delicious. Sides were just OK but the chicken was the star of the show. Waitress very friendly and efficient. Food came out hot in no time flat. She told me if I wanted to upgrade to "all-you-can-eat" from the 3 pc dinner I ordered she would just add $1 to my ticket. I didn't have room. No extra charge for all-white, a nice touch. It's 120 miles away from home and I can't see making a special trip, but if headed from Omaha - KC or back and in the mood for fried chicken on the way, Hometown Bistro is in the rotation. read more

Only been there a couple of times - both times for the Tenderloin. Same for friends - we all have only had the Tenderloin; it's that good. They have several "varieties" of Tenderloin. All versions are "Top Tier" (using the "Top Tier vs The Rest" scale). The two varieties that I've eaten were really, really good; my dining partners said the same for their choices, as well. Also, my friends had pie (I'm not much for sweets) - they all rave about it. If you're in St. Joe, or you're passing near-by, it's definitely worth the detour / drive. Enjoy! read more

Don't be fooled by the euro term bistro; this is an American Roadhouse. Their motto, "It's that good" is appropriately nonspecific -- it is as good as it is, which is not very. This is deep fat fried southern style food, and I've had better. The pork loin sandwich was a greasy breaded slab, and the green beans were limp and cold. It was in a wood-floored barn appropriate for line-dancing, with lots of high school memorabilia (the "savages" with a snarling injun mascot -- not PC). I felt uncomfortable and queasy when I left. read more

We are here for the first time this past Thursday. The restaurant was not busy, appeared to have good staffing, yet it took 30 minutes to get an appetizer of chicken livers and another 30 to get our food. The food was your typical frozen to fried type that is high in calories and low in taste. The prices are decent, but I'd rather eat at home if I'm just going to have such simple food. read more

This is a Good Small Town Restaurant, I did not find anything insulting about the decor. The place was void of East Coast snobbery, my favorite feature. read more
