    Menu on outdoor patio

    Perfect stop after exploring Johnson's Shut-ins State Park. The weather was beautiful so say out on their deck ... looks like the have added new deck space so that will be nice. Great menu selection sandwiches, pizza , wings, etc. Full bar so we tried out the wine & beer! Started with quest & chips then tried the Tuesday lunch special quesadilla w/ chicken and I had the grilled chicken sakes. Warning ... I only had the 1/2 salad and it was huge!!!!! We hung out on the patio. Enjoying drinks, the weather and awesome music .

    Hard to decide with this menu...there was a little bit of everything. Great appetizer selection. We opted for the Mac & cheese bites & pretzel sticks. They were both amazing! For entrees, my kids chose the pretzels, and we had the thin crust pizzas. Hubby also added a side of wings which were just ok. Both thin crust pizzas were very good & plenty to take home for a late night snack. The draft beer sell was lacking, but the restaurant made up for it in their selection of bottles & cans. Lots of local beers to the area. I will definitely be back when in the area.

    The wait is a bit long but well worth the wait the artichoke dip was ok not the best but it was good and the rest was delicious there was not that many people but the music was good too

    I had never been here before but I really enjoyed it. Was not sure what to expect, but honestly it beat my expectations. I had the nachos and wings and both were great on flavor and amount of food for the money. I will caution those who don't tolerate spicy food well to stay clear of their BYFO (burn your face off) sauce. I have had hot wings all over the country and these were some of the hottest I have had in a very long time. I enjoy very spicy food, so I loved them. My server was super friendly and very quick. I recommend this place with groups, family or even flying solo. It was a must stop if you are in the area.

    View from our seat on the patio.

    What a great experience. I didn't expect much from such a small area, but do NOT hesitate to come here. Really decent liquor pours, decent selection of beer, but I'll be back for the gumbo! Like- New Orleans competition gumbo. I wasn't expecting that at all. The service was great. The view was beautiful from the deck. What an awesome end to such a quaint little area.

    Maybe it's good for rural food but it wasn't that great. It's "bar food" for sure. There just isn't a lot of options around here.

    Pizza is delicious and the homemade ranch dressing is so good! Service was fast and server was pleasant. Will definitely return.

    Frisco's Grill & Pub - Spinach salad in Cuba, MO

    Been many times. Excellent service and food every time. Ask for the daily special..the frisco melt…read moreis great and the chicken fried chicken on Sundays is amazing.

    Frisco Bar and Grill is one of those places that commits hard to a theme and then gently asks the…read morefood to catch up later. The concept is genuinely fun: you sit down and feel like you've boarded a vintage rail car, complete with that "on the way to somewhere better" energy. Unfortunately, the illusion peaks a bit earlier than the appetizers. After seeing glowing Yelp reviews, we arrived expecting small-town culinary magic. What we got felt more like Amtrak dining car, but the train is delayed and the kitchen is understaffed. Service was pleasant--no complaints there--just moving at the leisurely pace of a scenic rail tour through the Midwest. The food itself lands firmly in the "fine, technically edible" category, which is not what you hope for when the internet has promised greatness. The highly praised wings arrived absolutely committed to their sauce--gloppy enough that you start wondering if the chicken was merely an accessory. A light brushing and sauce served on the side would have kept things from turning into an edible slip-and-slide. The French onion soup also took a creative detour from tradition. Swiss cheese instead of gruyère sets the tone, and from there it becomes less "soup" and more "onion-forward gravy experiment." After a couple bites, the rest felt like a suggestion rather than an obligation. The roast beef sandwich leaned heavily into bread architecture while treating the roast beef like an optional insert. The meat itself had a distinctly packaged deli-cold-cut energy--efficient, but not exactly artisanal. Even the house salad managed to surprise, featuring tiny cheese pellets that suggest innovation in texture design, if not necessarily in enjoyment. And then there's the atmosphere note: smoky in a general sense, just not in the dining room--so you get ambiance without full immersion. The only real head-scratcher, though, is the level of restriction around what guests can bring in--at one point making you feel like your own onions might be considered contraband. It's a rare dining experience where you leave thinking, "I wasn't allowed to improve my meal, and somehow I still considered it." In the end, if this represents top-tier dining in Cuba, Missouri, then Michelin inspectors might want to keep the train rolling straight through without stopping. It's not a disaster--just a very enthusiastic theme restaurant where the theme outruns the kitchen by a few stations.
