Apple Maps told us we had arrived just shy of the restaurant, which is up the hill a bit further. Just keep going. Many of us have heard of Hootentown through the years, and a few lucky ones have actually been to a music festival or put in for a float trip there. This relatively new diner is a real gem! It is run by a mother/daughter duo with the mama manning the kitchen with her extraordinary homemade, from-scratch comfort food! However, I was on a health kick today so I ordered the Taco Salad. Yeah, I know, so I didn't eat the lightly deep fried, crispy shell to my chagrin! Seasoning on everything is superb. She's not afraid to wake up your tastebuds & not just with the one-note spicy heat that masks as complex flavor. My mother thoroughly enjoyed her Philly cheesesteak chicken sandwich on a hoagie roll. She also went for the potato Fripps which (we had never heard of them) are spiral cut whole potatoes that are lightly deep fried into beautiful flowering shapes. We DO eat with our eyes after-all. Well done. So cool. Now, you must order one of theIr desserts at minimum and make sure it comes with their homemade whipped cream! Even if you're stuffed you'll have to take a couple bites. It's whipped & stabilized so well that it looks like homemade ice cream but, WOWZA, it ain't! When you devour it, you will want to kiss your grandmother, your great-grandmother, and the many mothers before that! Isn't it wonderful, every once in a while, to wax & wane nostalgic?!?! They even make their own rock candy from scratch which they thoughtfully provide with your bill. What is more country crafty than that? Bags of it are for sale @ each table. Make sure to look around at the collections on the walls. The daughter is fun to answer any questions you might have about the food, the dwelling, the kitsch, the river, and the politics in general. We even bought a dozen farm fresh eggs from her as we were walking out the door for, wait for it, one buck. Take a trip through the Ozark Hills, into the woods, and down to the James River. This place is an undiscovered gem! And, a HOOT(entown)!!!

When you're thinking about burgers, Black Sheep needs to be at the top of your list…read more Casually sitting in what looks like a shipping container off of Glenstone, Black Sheep ASAP is the perfect pit stop for a quick burger and shake while you're out. Despite the ruggedness of the shipping container exterior, the inside has a comfy vibe with indoor and outdoor seating with cartoons playing on tv downstairs and hockey upstairs. The service was fast and very friendly with very little wait time. I opted for the Light My Fire burger because I appreciate The Doors reference. Don't let the name or jalapeños fool you, it wasn't spicy but it was absolutely packed with flavor. Between the wagyu, peppers, cheese, and candied bacon this burger was spectacular! The fries are, well, fries. You have a choice of various aiolis to pick from. I chose the malt vinegar and my wife went for the garlic. In my opinion, they're better with hot spice or just ketchup but I didn't come here for the fries. We also got the Strawberry Fields and Oreo shakes. If you've ever had the cake shake from Chicago's Portillo's, you might like the Strawberry Fields shake that includes strawberry cake swimming in the strawberry shake. Definitely worth it! Overall, one of the better burgers I've had around the Springfield area, so if you're out for a quick burger that's a step up from the rest, head over to Black Sheep!

Let me just start with saying this was the most delicious piece of cornbread I've ever experienced…read morein my life. And that's saying something as I would never purposefully choose an edge piece. On top of that I was surprised to find that spaghetti comes as a side! It reminded me of cafeteria spaghetti, but not the bad kind you groan about when you see it on the menu, the kind that has you running to the cafeteria to beat everyone else. The spicy cabbage is just that, SPICY. I was only able to eat a few bites, but even under all that spice the flavor was excellent. The catfish strips were hot and tender. They even threw in an extra or two. Now the server, he was amazing. He greeted us promptly and went above and beyond. I have not had such a positive experience with a server at any restaurant I've been to in a long time. I didn't catch his name, but he was brilliant. The restaurant was clean, food was fresh, and plenty of seating. I'm very excited to visit here again!

I bit disappointed. We are always trying to catch this…read moretruck open because the hours seem random. Finally we drive by and the doors are open! We were going to go classic, but the guy said they were really known for "gourmet grilled cheese" so we asked his recommendation. He recommended the BBQ Mac and cheese, so we agreed. We were given a pager, and waited in the car. Pretty fast; we also got a water so the total was $9 and change. Well I expect a lot from an $8 grilled cheese!!! The sandwich was small, regular sized bread "not even Texas Toast." The ingredients weren't piled high, and the worst part is they weren't premium "at all!" The cheese had no bite, or mouthfeel. Sure it looked cheesy, but the entire sandwich had zero flavor. The only thing I could taste was the BBQ sauce that was extremely heavily catsup based, and out of a container. Also the Mac and cheese tasted like it was off brand, as well as the cheese they used for the base. All I tasted was 1. Butter. 2. Bread and 3. BBQ sauce. I truly expected a combination and flavor explosion, and all I got was a bland basic sandwich for $9. Put your foot in it, pour some love and money into your product, don't cut corners to save money, and if you do then just don't make anything. Some Kraft cheese and some velveeta cheese would go a long way with this company. Yes the cheese they are using now is worse than the cheese I suggested they use!
