    Delicious food. Especially the ribeye steak and the potato soup that we ordered with it. The ranch is also good ranch. No complaints.

Their "Bubba" hash browns (extra crispy with onions, jalapeños, and gravy are great and very filling. Prices are very fair and you can't beat the daily specials. Closed on Sundays and Mondays. Fantastic pies, you should order your pie when you sit down to guarantee it being there in time for desert.

Honestly,…read moreit's not quite as good as when Betty, the original owner owned it but the current owner certainly tries to maintain a high standard. All of the food is made fresh. I've had to go in to work in the early mornings (4 or 5 am) and seen the cook through the window making the pies for the day. I have a place in my heart for the waitresses who served me for so many years, they ran their tails off taking care of their customers but for some reason they are no longer there. I hope they have been able to retire and enjoy life. Regardless, the current waitresses are great too and will take good care of you. It's a small basic building but the food makes it well worth the drive. We always get full on our meals but make sure to get a couple of their deserts to go. By the way, I have never once had anything I didn't like at Betty's. They even serve some of the old fashioned foods that older people enjoy such as brain sandwiches, liver and chicken gizzards.

    Parade of Hearts brought us into St Joe. We were hungry and saw the reviews. We love places like…read morethis...what could go wrong?!?!? Well let me start off with the fact they are over an hour away from our home. Considering they have ruined us on any and all other burger and fries, it might become a habit. Husband had the Blackberry Bacon and Blue Cheese Burger. I do not on the norm like blackberries, but on this!!!! The blackberries sweetness stands against the strong overpowering blue cheese and they meld well to make a wonderful tasting combo. I ordered There Goes My Gryo.....how did they get a freaking lamb burger, a very lean meat be that juicy!?!? I dont know but with the peppers, tomato and onion made a fresh hamburger, might be good with some kalamata olive....but I am not complaining. It was delicious. I am picky on my fries and usually dont eat the full amount restaurants serve. I had to stop myself. They are more like a shoestring but not hard or crunchy. Seasoned wonderfully! My suggestion you go in there with a big appetite, grab lots of napkins and be ready to devour the best burger you've ever had!

We also got soda floats which they serve ice cream and soda separately. We got to enjoy cold soda and kids enjoyed vanilla ice cream. Overall great service and ambiance. Just need to go early to get seating since pretty limited.

    During our stay in St. Joseph, we made reservations to check out one of the town's new Italian hot…read morespots. Being used to Kansas City staples like Garozzo's and Cascone's, we were excited to give it a try, but unfortunately, it didn't quite live up to the high rating hype. ​ ​The Atmosphere & Service: The space was clean and the waitstaff was incredibly warm, nice, and welcoming throughout our meal. ​Drinks & Extras: They have a great wine selection! However, keep in mind they don't have a full physical bar, so non-wine options such as beer and spirits come from a can. Bread is also a separate purchase and doesn't include an olive oil dipping sauce nor did they bring out or have any fresh ground pepper or parmesan cheese which is a bit of a sin with our meals. Note: I did get a pepper shaker, but it poured heavy like a cheap bottle of wine... Lucky for me. I'm a pepper fan. My Entree: I tried their signature Tagliatelle pasta with meat sauce. While the flavor was definitely there and the pasta was cooked just past al dente (which I didn't mind), the sauce was quite runny on the plate. ​The Price: Very reasonable--it definitely won't blow a hole in your wallet! ​The Verdict: ​While the hospitality and prices are great, the food just missed that "chef's kiss" quality I was hoping for. It's a nice spot, but overall it felt a bit overhyped compared to top-tier Italian dining.

Wish we had just one more piece of garlic bread to eat with it! It was exactly what I was expecting. The pasta carbonara had a nice meaty flavor throughout from the guanciale. My husband loves meat so he added an Italian sausage which it really did not need. But I'm glad he did because the piece I stole from his plate was amazing with the tastiest char. I want to go back just for a side of Italian sausage. As for the wood fired lasagna... it was good. I saw reviews where people said it was the best they've ever had. I can't say the same. When the description says sweet marinara or sweet red sauce, believe the sweet part. This sauce is SWEET. It's definitely oriented for those who eat and love a lot of sugar. I personally think if it had a splash of béchamel on top to counterbalance the sweetness, it would be better, but that would totally change the dish. I'd DEFINITELY try their white lasagna anytime if they ever have that on special. The pistachio butter Panuozzo Dolce is pretty much exactly how it looks. Think of the pistachio butter just like peanut butter in texture. It's just green instead of brown, and tastes of pistachios instead of peanuts. It's wood fired dough and the pistachio butter. I think it needs some whipped cream on top to jazz it up. I'll try the tiramisu next time! I appreciate the decent priced bottles of wine. One thought on the decor (which is pretty cool), is that it would be really nice for those patrons sitting facing the big black wall, hanging some big black framed mirrors would be fabulous so we have something to look at besides our table mates. We will be back.
