    Indoor seating available.

    There's not much to choose from in this area. We stopped and picked up a pizza to take back to our rental property in Garfield, AR. We had someone back at base camp preheat the oven to 400F so we could warm up the pizza when we got back. I'm happy the oven was ready to go when we returned with the pizza as the crust was soft and doughy and nowhere as done as I think a pizza should be. I remember how quickly the pizza was handed to me and I thought it was strange out fast it cooked. The flavor of the pizza was good but it definitely needed more time in the oven. I got peach soft serve ice cream to go and people I gave them to, could not decide what flavor it was. None of them guessed peach. I ordered an espresso milk shake. It was lacking enough espresso in it. It was more creamy, sugary vanilla ice cream than a coffee tasting shake. In hindsight, I wish I had ordered chocolate and vanilla twist cones for all of us instead of trying to go outside the box. Sometimes you should mess with classics. Staff was friendly and the interior of the restaurant was clean and well-lit. Plenty of parking outside.

    Outdoor seating area.

    Amazing burger and onion rings! We told them we were sharing it and they put it in 2 separate trays for us which was appreciated. The burger was juicy and flavorful. The onion rings were crispy and the onions melted in your mouth! We will be returning again soon, best burger we've had in the area! The outdoor dining area was super cute with corn-holed boards for customers to play.

    Smashed Pork Sandwich!

    Just love the small home grown establishments. Came to visit the area and a family member took me here. Had the pork tenderloin sandwich with taster tots. Not over breaded so you get to taste the pork. Simple food and great flavor. I'll be back! The menus listed here has been adjusted for Covid less items on the menu and restricted days and hours. Enjoy you meal.

    Loved the pork loin sandwich.  Beer batter onion rings were good.  Great service too.

    Pork cutlet sandwich is great. Not too much breading. The beer batter onion rings were good.

    The Hop burger & the sampler!

    Great experience! Wonderful food, wonderful owners! Got lucky coming here cause was headed somewhere else and just happened to stop here.

    Great food! They don't have frozen lemonade because they don't have the password for yelp anymore. So they haven't been able to update yelp for a few years. Would definitely recommend.

    Chloe loved her puppy patty!

    Very good! Busy joint at 5pm and our food came out fresh and hot and very good! Came here after enjoying Dogwood Canyon. Highly recommend. The young staff here was very polite. Kudos to them! Loved the doggie patty too!

    Philly Cheese Steak with Fries

    I have nothing but good things to say about this place! My boyfriend and I went here for the first time on a date and it was so cute! It's a little diner setting where you go up the counter, order first, and then pick out your table, and the servers will bring your food out to you. I got a philly cheese steak with fries, which I thought the fries were soooo freaking good! My boyfriend got the Oasis burger with fries which he liked, and we got BBQ wings to share! After that we ordered ice cream, they only had chocolate and blue cookies and cream ice cream so I got chocolate and my boyfriend got the blue ice cream and personally, I thought it was the BEST ice cream I've had in a while!! So we 100% recommend this place!

    Best Burgers around.

    Found this place by accident. Best burgers we have found in Southern Missouri. We will try something else off the menu next time in the area.

    We have never been here before so I asked the cashier what everyone else orders and she said the pork tenderloin. We should have ordered one since they are so big! It was really crispy and good. Everyone was very nice. The restaurant was very clean and the atmosphere was pleasant with all the windows all around.

    Chocolate and strawberry shake out of machine...pretty good

Our group was large and they accommodated us without hesitation. The staff was amazing, very polite and hospitable. As for the food, it was really good. We knew it would either be a hit or flop. Thankfully it was a hit. Kids had shakes, which were amazing. The onion rings were nice and crispy by and large. The crab Rangoons were a hit as well - seemed home made with right amount of consistency and good dipping sauce. The crispy chicken wrap was good - fried chicken pieces, cheese, lettuce, tomato, red onion and choice of condiments (Mayo, ranch, or honey mustard) on the side. Wrap would have been better if it had more chicken. It was loaded with other toppings though. The Smurd Burger was delicious - two smash Pattie's, cheese curds with lettuce, tomato, red onion. Patties were on the small side but it all came together quite nicely with the cheese curds adding a great garlicky element. He bun was nicely toasted and buttery. The regular cheeseburger was good and thick. Fries were seasoned well, hot and fresh and crispy. Egg roll was great! Pizza was hit with the kids. Would recommend. Wish we took pictures but we were so hungry we forgot. Side note: you go to counter, order food and they bring it out to you when ready.

We were immediately greeted with a welcome. We had seen the interesting menu already, but were excited to see what we might order. The crab rangoons were so good, as were both our burgers and fries. It's definitely more of a home-cooked meal diner vibe, with friendly people and a relaxed atmosphere. We will be back.
