Returning to Pistol Pats's diner to try the dinner menu. On a recent call in order, we went with…read morethe chk frd stk. dinner, I suggest everyone try the whatever else till they decide to buy a better cut of meat , it was like chewing small, long, stringy, round, rubber bands and in between the rubber bands was a severely leather cooked, fried to perfection, can't cut through with a knife steak. Everything else was pretty good, mashed potatoes w/ wht grvy, corn, mozzarella sticks but there's something seriously wrong with the steak when you start looking forward to eating the fried concoction surrounding the steak during the meal.... you know what I'm sayin, I'd still be chewing that steak this very day ‍‍. Then... (clearing throat) let's talk about the catfish dinner w/ fries and slaw, I'm trying to be generous by saying it was a complete disappointment. The fries were wet, cold and undercooked and the coleslaw was warm and limp, completely disgusting even our cat debated eating the fish that wasn't eaten. It will be a minute before we order dinner again from Pistols I'm giving 2 stars, one star for each dinner, it was just sad. For the positive, the dinner roll was soft and warm, the mozzarella sticks were knocked outta the park, never tasted better If you are reading this review... we suggest to sticking to just breakfast at night hire a better cook, change the meat you are currently serving because there's no value in chasing away customers over bad cooks, lazy food checkers and crappy choices in food sourcing. The chicken fried steak was a nightmare past the awesome fried covering you dip it in, just down right inedible. The fish is awful and overcooked and your fries are undercooked, seriously what's going on there at night ??? cause it isn't cooking food correctly or even being checked before leaving, does anyone there try tasting what you're serving before you serve it??? EPIC IDEA

We booked a reservation for a bachelorette party and received a confirmation text the morning of…read morethat our reservation was still upheld. We show up and there is a sign on the door that says "temporarily closed." Tell me why we got a confirmation text confirming our reservation when they are obviously not open. We called them multiple times throughout the day and got voicemail. The voicemail never said they were temporarily closed. I am disappointed by the way that this was handled by them!

Food: should've known that expectations for food were down in the dumps when we asked what wine…read morethey had and instead of saying regions or vintages, our waitress listed types of wine. The Cabernet was cloyingly sweet and set the tone for a pretty meh meal. The pork chops I ordered can only be described as tasting like shoe leather. They were some of toughest I ever had and I highly regret ordering it. Salad was also WAY too salty. My wife ordered a salad where half of the ingredients were missing because they were out of it. Key elements like candied pecans and the dressing were missing. I know it's off season but the lack of ingredients and the lack of cooking finesse are inexcusable for a restaurant. Service: server was nice. However, she neglected to tell us various things were out of stock including half of the ingredients on the salad. It's almost laughable, one of the main menu items was a ribeye, and they were out of that. We had a reservation at 5pm so it's crazy that they were out of stock of so many things at that time of day. Ambiance: very crazy and unique atmosphere as far as the decorations and the menu descriptions. However it felt too much at times, and the lack of music in the restaurant kind of killed the mood.

Daughter ordered the cheeseburger and coffee. The club was delicious, but they made it on white instead of wheat, but it's fine. The fact it had real ham and not some processed deli meat more than made up for it. The fries are worthy of an entire paragraph themselves. They are so crispy. I don't know what batter they use, but it is perfect. One plate is definitely enough for two people, maybe even three. The daughter raved about the coffee. She said it tasted like, "it was made with love," whatever that means. Lol The waitresses were all nice and seem to all take care of all the customers. I liked that they all helped everyone instead of being "assigned" to a particular table. Overall, the place is clean, prices are more than reasonable, and food is good.

Negative: Extremely loud in the restaurant, can tell they are trying to handle it by placing some type of product on the walls. They oddly sprinkle ground beef on top of various dishes. If you are into that. 3 stars is a great score in my opinion for this place. With all of the options in Grove, I don't think I need to go back more than the few times I've been. I am not sure why they are always so busy, could be the extremely quick meal to table?

My favorite home-cooking place is now a 1-2 star facility. It makes me sad to write this review,…read morebut others need to know, and most importantly, their management needs to know for serious improvement! The food is AMAZING, but the service is horrible. For being such a huge foodie, I never thought bad service would allow me to write a bad review. After all, I eat out for the FOOD, and I put up with almost anything for great food! However, 9 times out of 10 you just cannot deal with the service here anymore. Ms. Donna is a great lady, and her food is some of the best breakfast and lunch around Grand Lake. However, her staff (and the lack thereof) has ruined the place, and it's usually the same two waitresses. One of them is very nice, but not attentive, and the other one is not friendly with a very unprofessional demeanor (yes, even for a casual diner). I cannot wait 15 minutes for a waitress to come by just to hand me a menu, 10 minutes just to order a drink, another 20 minutes to receive my drink, an hour to receive my food then sitting with an empty drink the whole time because the waitress never comes by while eating for refills. Forget ever asking for anything, you only see them to get one initial drink order and your food served. Their wait staff is truly terrible. I've been going to Ms. Donna's for two years because I love it so much, but today's service was so bad, it ended my relationship with the place. The waitress saw us walk in, sit down, and never came over. There were two of us who waited for 15 minutes, and there were only about 4-5 other tables with people eating. This place is small to begin with, and so it's not that difficult to bring menus and drinks in a timely manner. Again, it makes me sad to write this, but enough is enough. If Ms. Donna had a new waitstaff and improved customer service, this place would be 5 stars in my book. If you still want to try it out, I recommend ordering take-out, then pick it up and eat it at home to avoid the annoyance and stress of dining in. The food is worth it!
