EVERYONE MUST STOP HERE when anywhere nearby. It began with the promise of homemade pie, and ended with the best banana crème pie I have ever tasted - homemade crust, perfect meringue, custardy filling goodness and just the right amount of bananas. Pies are made daily, and when they are gone, they are gone until lunch the next day (they are too warm to be served at breakfast because: fresh out of the oven) We had the meatloaf plate lunch and the hot roast beef sandwich- everything was delicious. Just as impressive was the staff- at least 2 if not 3 generations of people working, and working well, together. We were also entertained by the locals, coming in and out and very friendly to folks who were obviously from out of town. We were informed that it is like this every day - friendly and "anything could happen!" I am considering re routing all road trips, even ones in the opposite direction, so they include lunch here read more

Worth the short drive off the highway. Delicious homemade food and amazing pies with fantastic service!

I absolutely love finding these local hidden diners. Such friendly staff and place was hopping. Great ambiance with pure locals. Waitress took my order immediately and food arrived shortly thereafter. So quick in fact that I questioned whether my food would be hot! It was and boy was it good!! One of the best patty melts I have ever had! read more

Always great food and very reasonable prices!! Service is always great! Friendly atmosphere!

We stopped in for lunch on our way back to Nebraska from Branson on a whim. We were greeted with friendly service right away! I didn't catch our servers name, but she was fantastic. She helped my kids decide what to eat and made sure they were happy. My boyfriend had a double cheeseburger and said it was delicious, my blt and onion rings were spot on. Huge portions. More than reasonable prices. Excellent service. I'm so glad we stopped here. I love a small town diner that leaves us walking away with big smiles on our faces. Thank you! read more

So, I called in and placed an order for a cheeseburger & fries and was told to come pick it up in 30 minutes. Only to find out they don't make cheeseburgers on Sundays and I was lied to after traveling 15 miles to come pick it up. I decided to go ahead and get their pan fried chicken for $9, since I had to pick something else. The good is you get up to 3 sides included with your meal. The bad? I didn't think the chicken was all that great, it wasn't bad, but not to my liking. The mashed potatoes are the same, nothing special, but okay. I did like the green beans and jello, but they seem to buy them from the same place the school does because they taste exactly the same, lol. Overall, the food is average (2/3 stars) but the service today was very disappointing. read more

Really good chicken fried steak, homemade rolls, and blackberry cobbler. They serve pickled beets which are my favorite. They have pretty slow service on Sundays but that's because they are so packed! They have a limited menu on Sundays because they're cranking out food left and right. All and all it was great food and great people. I can't wait to go back on a Saturday read more

Sunday afternoon fried chicken almost as good as Grandma used to make and homemade pie slices as big as your face! The food is incredible and the portions are huge! Don't be dismayed by the old country kitsch décor and the fact that folks are still lighting up a smoke inside with the kids at the same table. The food and service are worth putting up with it, I promise. The service is outstanding, whether you're a local or not, you are treated like family from the moment you walk in the door. This is good family home cooking at very affordable prices, worth the stop! read more

Extremely nice people, it's not a fast food restaurant . If you love to find hidden treasures on your travel, this place is great. I truly loved all the historical memories on the walls. We met the owner Jim and he was truly a delight! read more

Nice little place. Great prices. Open faced hot roast beef was excellent and the staff was very pleasant. Was there for lunch so I didn't get to try the fried chicken , which is the only reason I didn't give it 5 stars read more

I had a double cheeseburger and was wonderful. Real meat and bread toasted on grill with butter. Smelled as good as it tasted. I had a side salad and lettuce wasn't good at all plus was swimming in dressing. Husband had the catfish special. Was really good as well. One of his sides was creamed peas and he said they were wonderful. Then we decided to split a piece of coconut crème pie. OMG was it great! Said we should have started with the pie. Was warm, fresh with a flaky crust. Wonderful. VERY reasonably priced. Fried chicken on Sundays is great also. The only reason for a 4 star rating is the poor salad. Think the lettuce was way past due date. I didn't say anything to our waitress but probably should have. We will definitely be back for more great food. read more

Smoking allowed (yuck!). Worst coffee ever, and only milk as creamer. Breakfast arrived 45 minutes after order was placed. Never again! read more

If you are looking for great food, excellent service, and a simple place to relax and enjoy a great meal, this is it! Even if the food wasn't as good (or better) than mom and grandma's home cooking, the service would make you feel at home! Stop by Sunday after noon for the best fried chicken you'll ever taste! Okay, so I love the place! read more

Great place for breakfast but not on Sunday morning. Waited 1/2 hour for them to open but they serve a limited white sheet menu dinners starting at 10:30. read more

This was a little out of our way but completely worth it! The fried chicken and meatloaf both were sensational!! The cherry cobbler took me back to my granny's "real crust"= butter and sugar!! Landmark was a hit for both my husband and and I! read more

Saw the reviews and decided to give it a try as we drove through the area. So glad we did! Had the pan fried fried chicken, mashed potatoes and gravy, green beans, pickled beets and a hot dinner roll. Hubby had the same. We shared a piece of peach cobbler with a scoop of ice cream. Iced teas and coffee and our total check was a little over $22!! But the best part was the food was awesome!!! They close at 2 on Sunday so make sure you get there in time to have a piece of pie before they run out. The after church crowd was there and everyone seemed to know everyone else. Service was great and so friendly. Will be back!!! read more

Do you miss Sunday chicken dinners at grandma's? Then this is the place took go. They have home-cooked food that will make you come back for more. They have awesome breakfasts (real biscuits and gravy - not something from a package) and great lunch specials that vary from day to day. You can always bed guaranteed there'll be fried chicken on Sunday and Wednesday. And don't forget about dessert... homemade cobbler or pie. Definitely worth the stop on your way to Springfield or Branson. It's about 7 miles north of Osceola Cheese (another fun stop). read more

I have been eating at this restaurant for over 20 years. The days are kind of hit and miss as far as product quality. I wind up today for chicken because I love their Fried Chicken. I was very disappointed because the serving portions have gotten smaller the pieces of chicken I received were more bones than meat I received half a back and a wing. And the prices have increased. So even though I'm usually a huge fan, today I was not. Also the rolls are not as good. Today mine had a really thick an edible outside crust on the edge so I had to just peel out the center. Of course we always go back because each day is different and I really hope they get their food quality and portion size back to the way it has been in the past . read more

Friendly people, great food!! Homemade pies that are wonderful!! Can't go wrong here! Plenty of selections on their menu. Best eating out place for homemade food!! read more

We hit the end of a very busy day for the restaurant. They were out of a lot of their signature dishes, but we still had good burgers and excellent chocolate pie. Typical small town diner, good food, very friendly staff. Worth the stop. read more

A hidden gem off the beaten path! If you go on a Sunday before 2 pm, you'll get delicious, juicy fried chicken. A 2 breast fried chicken dinner w/ 3 sides is $8.45. Save room for dessert! Berry cobbler and pies, all homemade with tender flaky crusts and meringue. Their dinner rolls are sooo good!! It's located in Lowry City, the downtown section, in an old brick storefront building. Did I mention they have homemade pies???!! Just go!! read more

This a great little place to eat. It's very deceiving from the outside, inside is very, simple but the hospitality was great and the food was even better. I had the smoked pork chop, and I tried the chicken fried steak and the pan fried chicken. Everything was awsome. It was tons of food for cheap. I will definately return, and I live an hour and a half away. read more

Absolutely a fantastic place to eat! If you want some of the best fried chicken go here. Well worth the drive, and won't break the bank. Not fancy, but neither are the prices. Just good stick to your ribs cooking. Try it! You won't be disappointed. read more

Got there just before the start of lunch. We went ahead and ordered burgers and fries. Figured they would be good and fresh. 45 minutes later we got the attention of a waitress to check on our meal. They said they would be getting right on it. It would be a few minutes. Needless to say we walked out. Ignored and forgotten seems to be the theme of this establishment. I would leave no stars if possible. read more
