Walking in, although this is a casual dining area, they have silverware, dish ware, and linen…read morenapkins. The ambiance gives off an upscale feel. The lacquered soup bowl and spoon are par for the course but the cast iron teapot and teacup give that authentic quality. So the miso soup is not as salty as I am accustomed to, but I believe that is a me thing, not a quality issue. The composition of seaweed and tofu is good. The salad has a ginger dressing which I appreciate, but my daughter didn't. Again, it's a her issue. The salad components were fresh. The sushi flavors were pretty good. So the fish is not as fresh as it would be in a coastal state or on an island. Hey man, this is the midwest! That being said, this is NOT grocery store sushi though, it is much better and much tastier than that. The flavors of the sauces are mild to allow the natural flavors of the ingredients to shine through, something that many places err in. Typical rolls have such overpowering sauces that the actual ingredients are unidentifiable. This place does not make that mistake. The spicy tuna roll is probably the best tasting spicy tuna roll that I have had in a very long time. Most places use sriracha as the main pepper ingredient, despite it not being of Japan origins. This spicy tuna roll has more of a togarashii based pepper base. As a result it has more of an authentic Japanese flavor. Yum! The staff are very nice, greeting you with a smile. They even ask if you would like a plate cleared away before taking the dish away...my husband has had instances where he wasn't quite done and the servers whisked the dish away neglecting to ask. They checked on us frequently as well. I also am pleasantly surprised that their last call for dine in is 15 minutes before they close. My daughter wasn't available to go out for dinner until 8:45 pm. This is 20 minutes away, so it was still open when we arrived and we didn't feel rushed to place our order.

I say that so people don't get upset when I say, Players Restaurant is located in the middle of nowhere, but it's in a safe nowhere! Pulling up was an exciting moment as my oldest daughter was graduating first in her class, a year early from high school and I hadn't seen her in a year. That said, I walked in about 4pm and almost no one was there. I asked the bartender if I could sit in the main room instead of the bar and she was cool with it. Players looks like a sort of Applebees with "crap" all on the walls but upon closer inspection, the photos are of local people. This tells me it's an authentic experience which I gained a much fuller appreciation. My daughters both said they liked the food there, and I was about to meet "the boyfriend" so I was anticipating the encounter. He walked in and I immediately made fun of him to put him at ease (my daughter warned him that I used to do standup) so the vibe was very nice. Next the waitress came over and was so vibrant and courteous that I was impressed. Now, I really liked a lot of menu items I saw but I wasn't that hungry. Again, I'll bring this back later, but could this "redneck restaurant" really make good Saganaki (Greek cheese) and Calamari? Needless to say, I was extremely skeptical however my sweet tea arrived and was spot on. I even asked for NO lemon and she didn't put it in my glass. Forgive my doubts as I used to be a chef so I can generally spot a disingenuous effort before trying it. First up was the Saganaki which came over a burner. Wow, they got part of it right! As an aside, the cheese can be one of many types with Halloumi or a type of sheeps milk feta that's shallow fried. That said, and I hope they read this to add authentic zest to the experience, it needs to be flambeed and hit with a shot of lemon to offset the richness which very loudly proclaiming OPA! Aside from the theatrics it was extremely good and the warm pita was on the money! Next up I had already determined I was making a mistake ordering the calamari. Well, I was wrong again. The squid were perfectly fried and crispy lacking grease that most restaurants think is ok. Players hit it out of the park with my only addition being I would have liked an aioli with it otherwise the dish surprised me. My kids both got fettuccini alfredo with chicken. I tried two bites and found it was average. The sauce was somewhat bland with slightly overcooked pasta. I think most kids would love it but after people build up a good amount of knowledge with quality dishes, this one fell flat. I'm not saying it's bad, but I wouldn't order it. The pork tenderloin sandwich looked good but I didn't taste it. I was dumbfounded by the huge tenderized pork outsizing the bun 3 to 1 giving it the illusion of getting a lot for the money. My daughters boyfriend assured me it was good and wrapped up half to take home. To summarize my review shows that one should never go in with preconceived notions about a restaurant before trying it. Players proved me wrong more often that I'm willing to admit. The staff are very nice, the restaurant has soul, and the food overachieves. If you're in the area I will highly advise dropping by for what could be the best food in town.

But as soon as we sat down, the place quickly filled up. We were hoping this was a good sign. Sadly, that was not the case. I really wanted to like this place. But the food was a letdown. We ordered springrolls, eggrolls, pho, and honey milk tea with boba. Springrolls were messy looking. Noodles outside of springrolls, and it was falling apart. The dipping sauce was good, but nothing to really remember . The 2 bowls of pho we ordered were not worth the price we paid. I got P3, which comes with meatball and beef. For $13, you get 4 paper thin slices of meat and a meatball cut into 4. My boyfriend ordered P4, which is the pho combo with rare beef, brisket, and meatballs. We wouldn't tell the difference between his or mine bowl, except his is $1 more. There were no brisket in his. Literally, he was fishing for brisket. Maybe they added the brisket but we couldn't tell because of how little meat each bowl came with. The noodle, broth, and meat were not the same ratio. Very disappointed.

My husband who is sick just ordered a pancake and toast off the child's menu. He didn't think to just order a pancake and toast. He just saw it on the menu and said he'd take that. He doesn't eat much at all. I'm happy to get him to eat anything. We were informed that they had to charge 2.00 more because he was an adult. 2.00 not a huge deal but I'm trying to understand why. The pancake was small. It's not like the portion size changed because he was an adult. It was just weird that's all! He looked for a senior citizen menu but didn't see one. I was busy and didn't check for him so that's on me. Can someone maybe explain this?

The Truck Stop Survives!…read more It has been a tough couple of years for truck stops across the nation. The double whammy of COVID 19 lockdowns and the past years price spikes (inflation) for fuel have taken their toll. We stopped in for a late lunch / early dinner at the Concordia, MO Truckstops of America, and noticed that they had added a Subway to their Country Pride diner for quick road food. Truck stops survive by producing edible carbs quickly and truck parking. But most survivors also amp up their friendly service with better than average home style meals - Country Pride has done this. While not crowded during the late afternoon, the service was its historic quick and friendly bench mark, the menu has been pared down a bit to match a decrease in demand. We went for a stir fry and a traditional American Breakfast of omelette and hash browns. The omelette was exactly what should be expected with no skimping of ingredients. The stir fry was very good, especially for truck stop fare. Adding a slice of "Reeces Peanut Butter" cake for desert topped off an enjoyable meal. During these inflationary times, I have been seeking out businesses that have earned their right to survive by providing consistent services and products at reasonable prices. This Country Pride had done exactly that. Yes, I will continue to make that Concordia stop as I cross I-70 they have earned it.
