    Patty Melt with house-made chips.
    Michael S.

    "Scotty, ya want a Dr Pepper or the sweet tea?" a server yells across the restaurant to an entering regular. It's that kind of small town, everybody knows your name place. The very reasonably priced meals are good values, considering the portion sizes. My lunch Patty Melt was satisfactory: generous sprinkles of salt and pepper improved what seemed like unseasoned beef. The house-made chips were mostly crispy without being burnt. A cheeseburger was also generous: 1/3 lb. The large, open interior and corrugated metal walls give Rocking Chair a comfortable barn vibe.

    Cute decor

    Service, great prices, and deliciousness!!! All are 5 star here! I highly recommend if you are on the I44 in Mo. and are hungry. Delicious comfort food! Party of 2 had the fried chicken special, and our bill was under 25$. Can't beat this place!

    The wait staff are super friendly and prompt. I absolutely love fried pickles and sweet tea and they didn't disappoint. 24-hour breakfast

    Breakfast!!!

    Post COVID-19 review: Ample spacing between tables. All employees wore masks. Very clean restrooms. Felt comfortable eating here. NOW, on to the FOOD! I ordered breakfast (of course!) and it was excellent. I like my bacon very crispy and always order it that way, but some cooks either ignore the request, or think they know better than me what I really want. This cook gave me EXACTLY what I wanted and I truly appreciate that! Eggs were cooked to perfection, the amount of hash browns was NOT overwhelming, and the BISCUIT... Out. of. this. WORLD! Unlike any other biscuit I've ever had. The waitress checked back with us about coffee refills, but was not overly bothersome. All in all, SO glad we stopped here!

    This little gem sits off the interstate & is well worth the stop! Home cooked, fresh, friendly & clean... those aren't words you often use when describing a place right off the highway that isn't a chain, but they all fit for this one! We were driving home from a very long trip & thanks to Yelp we came across this place. I'm so glad we did. If I ever make it back their way, I would DEFINITELY stop here again! The staff are friendly & funny. We had a server who went out of her way to make us feel welcomed & comfortable...even bringing me a small pillow to sit on because of an injury. It may not rank 5 stars on every scale, but it sure does for us. Keep up the great work!

    Someone call Larry the health inspector. Within 10 minutes of eating mice was walking down in the back room, and then not even 5 minutes later a worker had came running out puking into a takeout box.

    Mediocre. It use to be better. It has declined over the years. 1/2 the time it's okay 1/2 the time it's not.
