    Shakers

    (9 reviews)

    Oh wow...come on people. Shakers deserves some recognition! It's a small town classic mom and pop…read moregrill. I just can't believe there's only 3 reviews about this place. I'm ready to call Guy Fieri on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives! I figured Shakers would be the most popular attraction in Mound City, Missouri!! Anyhow...let me give a little info and background on Shakers. I was driving along my cross country road trip through Missouri and was yearning for a homely/informal restaurant that would be popular and authentic to the area. So I Googled "places to eat" in Mound City and Shakers appeared. Then I ventured on over here. Shakers is a little family burger and ice cream joint. They have a menu posted on a board next to the takeout window. Walking up to order...I could just sense whatever I chose was going to be hot and fresh made to order. Shakers is situated just off the main road. I parked in the lot and then strolled over to the front section where they featured picnic tables to sit down and eat at. When I was ready, I just went up to the window to ordered. The menu board was very simple, with cheap prices ranging anywhere from $5 - $10 or so. I'll list the whole menu board right here... - Ice Cream Treats - cups/cones, floats, malts, ice cream shakers, sundaes, flavor bursts, and ice cream specials! - Finger Foods - chicken tenders, popcorn chicken, beer battered shrimp, Buffalo chicken, cheese fries, nachos, mozzarella sticks, French fries, onion rings. - Sandwiches - pork tenderloin, chicken filet, deli turkey, tuna salad, grilled cheese, hot dog, chili dog, hamburger, cheeseburger. - Baskets (served with French fries and Texas toast) - chicken tenders, jumbo popcorn chicken, boneless Buffalo chicken, beer battered shrimp, catfish tenders. Basically, anything and everything you could ask for from a good old fashioned hamburger and hot dog establishment....Shakers featured. Seriously, they cater to the entire family and children. The menu board may appear small in stature, but it's packed with All-American favorites! I ordered an old cheeseburger with onion rings, soda and a large cookie dough shaker. The meal came to around $15 and then I threw a few dollars in the tip jar. I then waited at the picnic table for my order to be called. I was very surprised for the summertime just how quiet it was here, but because of this 2020 pandemic, I guess a lot of people were staying at home. Still, I was just grateful they even let me sit down at the tables because....I was getting quite tired of eating in the front seat of my car for almost every meal along my cross country drive. Another really cool aspect about Shakers is they had a drive-thru. So for those who'd like to take their food "to-go" with them...this was convenient. I maybe waited 10 minutes for my meal. My burger and onion rings came inside of a vintage old fashioned basket. My cheeseburger fresh was right off the grill. It came with lettuce and tomato on a soft bun. The onion rings were out of this world!! They were so hot and crispy straight from the fryer. The onion rings were the star of the meal! And my cookie dough shaker was filled with plenty of cookie dough pieces. For every bit I took...I had a piece of cookie dough in my mouth, lol. The shaker was like a meal in and of itself. Finally, Shakers was such a pleasant surprise on my trek through Missouri. It was a great way to have a no frills type of meal sitting down outside at the picnic tables while enjoying the warm summer weather. This charming family quick-stop grill was the ideal place for that meal I was craving. I highly recommend Shakers to everyone in Mound City. I hope this place is doing okay through the horrible pandemic. I hope Mound City supports them well. I assume the word is out on this place. Just...3 Yelp reviews is shockingly disappointing.

    Was such a nice treat. We went twice. The first time I had a marshmallow sundae and the second time…read moreI had a small ice cream. Burger and fries are very good too. Service was very nice.

    I absolutely LOVE Green Dirt Farm! It for sure should be on your must visit list when coming to…read moreWeston. It has a very different vibe and menu than the other places in town which is a nice switch up but it is outside of the main area of town a bit (still only like a 3-5 minute drive from downtown so not bad at all). They have amazing sandwichs, soups, and charcuterie boards. Honestly, I don't think you could go wrong with anything on the menu. The outdoor seating area is quite vast with plenty of room to spread out and get some fresh air when it's nice out! All the employees were super nice and willing to give honest suggestions on what to get. I would love to do a wine tasting and try other menu items next time I visit! Add this place to your list for your next trip!

    Oof. Big changes at GDFC in the last few months. Came in for my normal start of spring trip after…read morejust being here in late fall, and the whole inside is different (less retail, more space) and several new kitchen remodel upgrades. It looks clean but isn't the same home-y spot we all loved. The kicker, though, is they changed the menu boards which now don't tell you what things are and they've like everyone else increased prices of normal items, including items that used to be included. Sandwiches used to come with chips, and now sandwiches are more and the small single size of chips are $4! Apparently they didn't read PepsiCo just missed a billion dollars in sales because they keep raising prices on Doritos. I can see add-ons for high quality products like soup, specialty fries, etc. I also know GDFC has expanded into KC, and I've been and spent healthy money at that luxury spot several times. But c'mon, this is just ludicrous charges at this point. When I realized the chip change, I asked for a refund of those alone, and the new sales terminal system took forever for multiple people to figure out. The manager on duty had to ultimately refund the whole thing, and reorder my entire order, meaning it's now cost all of us money in time. The staff is completely different - there's a chef in the back wearing a white coat like it's fine dining... the rest of the staff is friendly enough, but also not the same level of home we all got used to for many years. My sandwich finally came out, and it looks nothing like what we used to get - the Cuban is on a hoagie style roll. Not even that good anymore. No more winery inside, and limited drink options overall. And no more fresh ice cream, just overpriced "soft serve." I know we're in times that are a'changin... but some of it has gone too far. Hopefully they keep the same level of loyal business I imagine they had before. My loyalty has definitely shifted instantly to once in a while, if that.
