    This is another good option for dinner in Grove on Monday nights! I've had the Jay location for lunch before, so I wanted to try dinner in Grove. It did not disappoint. My chicken fried steak was hand breaded & huge! They were out of lots of appetizers and sides like mozzarella sticks & French fries. But I tried fried mushrooms, and they were good. Nice house made ranch. My waitress was the sweetest lady ever. And it's a very cute diner inside. Like others have said, it's bigger than it looks from outside! I'll definitely be back.

    Grilled chicken mashed potatoes fried okra fried green tomatoes and a roll

    Everytime I've come here the service has always been quick and friendly. They seem to have allot of daily customers and know everyone! It's just a lil hole in the wall shop but that's just how you know the food is fresh and good! They make hand made milkshakes that are also to die for!

    Returning to Pistol Pats's diner to try the dinner menu. On a recent call in order, we went with the 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

    My wife & I ate here after church. I had the pork tenderloin sandwich & she had the salisbury steak which was on special. The staff was very friendly and the food came rather quickly. We had a few different waitresses throughout the meal ask if we needed anything. They were on top of things for sure! The diner itself seemed smaller until we got inside and saw that looks can be very deceiving. Not that the place was huge but rather it was a bit bigger than expected with plenty of room. The place was clean and atmosphere was very relaxed thanks to the staffs very welcoming and warm attitude. All in all we enjoyed this place and will definitely return.

    Lunch was great! Everything was hot & tasted fresh! I loved the fried green tomatoes! The burgers were nicely put together, also! Our waitress was so friendly & kind! It's a little place, but it has plenty of seating, appeared clean & there is ample parking, too!

    Sometimes you've just gotta get breakfast at a hole in the wall joint. This was that time. This was that breakfast. And this was definitely that hole in the wall joint. Came in on a busy Saturday morning and was seated promptly in a chair that came straight out of the 80's. Didn't matter, it was comfortable like the one at grandma's house. I had coffee and water in under a minute. And despite inhaling coffee like a hungover zombie, my mug never got close to empty. The meal consisted of thinly pressed crunchy hash browns, scrambled eggs, sourdough toast, bacon, and a biscuit with gravy. To say it hit the spot would be an understatement. It wasn't fancy, but it wasn't supposed to be. Total tab? $10. Would I come back and eat exactly the same meal here again? Absolutely. P.S. - I'll leave commentary about the decor to those that care about such things. But the Bob Ross-esque painting by my table was pretty amazing.

    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.

    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!

The food was average. The owner should of told us it was gonna be a long wait. The waitress did a great job had a great attitude and apologised ,while the owner did absolutely nothing to make the Customer happy. I wasn't asking for a free meal however she could of comped a percentage off the bill instead of arguing with the customer. I run my own business and I will do whatever the Customer wants to make them happy
