Grilled tenderloin with mushroom, onion and Swiss. Yum
Dee W.

Second time we have been here and both times have loved it. Had a grilled tenderloin and it was seasoned perfectly and had a a little char on it. I added grilled onion, mushroom and Swiss. Also had their onion rings. Husband had grilled ham and cheese and fries. Everything is great.

Breaded pork tenderloin

The food is always fantastic. We are lucky enough live in town with the Hoof nearby.The onion tings are always a local favorite and plenty of food at a good price.

Pit stop in Madison, MO. Pulled in as soon as I saw this joint...

Stopped here simply because it looked great as I drove by... Server was very friendly and working hard. The grilled tenderloin is probably the best I've ever had, and that's coming from someone from Iowa... Worth a visit if you're near Madison, MO.

The Hoof Family Steakhouse in Madison MO

A great stop on the main highway through Madison. Excellent wait staff. We both had a great lunch. The Yelp map is incorrect. This is on the main route just east of town center.

Filet & shrimp special with garlic creamed potatoes

While traveling through Missouri we stopped in to get a steak after reading the reviews. Great location right off hwy 24. The Hoof did not disappoint. We got the filet & shrimp special & prime rib. Filet was seasoned well and cooked just right. The 14 oz prime rib was a thick cut & had excellent flavor. The garlic creamed potatoes were by far the best au gratin potatoes I've ever had at a restaurant! Great dessert and service. Would frequent this place weekly, if not more, if we lived nearby!

Bacon back ribs, breaded tenderloin, chicken sandwich and a mushroom Swiss burger.

Steak was good but not exceptional as expected. Great service. We drove from Moberly and we're not disappointed.

Great find in the middle of nowhere. Fun decor, good service, and great steaks. The onion straws are a great appetizer option.

It was seamless, attentive, and genuinely impressive without ever feeling overbearing. And the food was just as impressive. We had the Wagyu ribeye, burger, salad service, and toasted ravioli, and everything was perfect. Every dish was prepared beautifully and delivered with the kind of attention to detail you hope for when dining somewhere special. One of the highlights of the evening was having the opportunity to speak with the owner. His passion for the restaurant was obvious, but more importantly, his commitment to quality, consistency, and exceptional service really stood out. You can tell that these aren't just words on a mission statement--he is personally invested in making sure every guest has an outstanding experience. That commitment clearly carries through to the staff, the food, and the overall atmosphere. And if you go, you absolutely have to get the wedding cake. It was incredible and easily one of the highlights of the meal. I absolutely assure this is worth the drive and I really want to have a Yelp elite event here. They have a section of their wine list dedicated to my favorite wine maker. When you go grab a bottle of Orin Swift. Great food, exceptional service, and an owner who genuinely cares about getting every detail right. A true 5-star experience and one I would highly recommend.

Greeted warmly, then served attentively (TY Amber) even though we were not going to be a big-ticket table (traveling lunch). Everything that arrived at the table was over the top delicious: maybe the best onion rings in America (smoky aoli sauce ...yum), huge side salads (try the Madam French dressing), fish fillets described as beer-battered but lightest, crispest coating ever. Even the baby carrots were special. Worth a detour for another meal here.

My buddy and I were looking for a lunch spot in Jefferson City. We came across what looked like a…read morehole in the wall that was a food truck and they are now a brick and mortar place. We looked over the menu and saw they had sweet tea. More on that in a moment. That's important for Bama Boys. The menu is pretty simple with pulled pork, wings, and burgers. I went with a full order of wings. 10 wings were $20. I thought that was pretty high though they were terrific! I chose them to be naked and had DAT Honey, Spicy BBQ, and Sweet and Spicy on the side. DAT Honey was a superb sauce especially mixed with the homemade ranch. The other 2 sauces were good too. Now back to the sweet tea. As I came in thinking I was going to get a fresh-brewed homemade sweet tea turned out to be purchasing a bottle of that abomination of sweet tea known as Gold Peak. It was comical how fast I told the guy at the register I would rather take a water. Then I receive a bottled water from Sam's. The owner did throw in a cookie for me to offset the price. But I wasn't impressed with the drink options. The service was good though! I really debated between a 3 and a 4 rating but the most important thing to me about a restaurant is making sure my food tastes amazing. JQ's delivered on that and plus the service was friendly and fantastic. I didn't like the price of 10 wings or the drink options but if you don't mind that, JQ's is a solid lunch spot.
