How in the world have I driven past Carthage, MO so many times and never been directed to this restaurant. This is a 10 star restaurant! Their hours may make it tough to eat if hopping off the road fo a bite but if you are able to time things right you won't be disappointed. Very unique setup and immaculately clean. Very cool art and frame shop in the front of the downtown store front with restaurant in the back. They even have a great Whiskey selection in their small liquor store. This is a top notch establishment and a gem that I won't ever pass up again. The food and service were wonderful. Don't hesitate to come here. You will not be disappointed. read more

I might be a KC girl but this was one of the BEST burgers I've ever shoveled into my mouth! I was headed back from a work trip and me and my boss, neither one were feeling well and neither one of us were overly hungry, so I know this is not a "she must have been really hungry" kind of review. The burger was tender and flavorful, the pulled pork was juicy and absolutely mouth watering (I can attest to this because I'm writing this a week later and am drooling on my thumbs!) The fries were perfectly crisp and seasoned to perfection and I've never had a better sweet potato fry (I got the mixed fries, which was an excellent decision on my part!) But wait, because this place was also adorable!! In the middle of Cherry's Gallery, we were surrounded by kitschy cuteness but it wasn't over the top. I just wish this place was closer so I could eat this burger whenever I w read more

So, I was reeeeally close to giving this place a 5 star rating, but there was a couple of things that kept me at a 4. The EU Burger was OUTSTANDING! Such an unusual combination of flavors that I absolutely loved. The Strawberry and Pecan Salad was also great, but was extremely difficult to eat because of the size of the lettuce. Not sure why restaurants don't either tear or cut the lettuce into smaller pieces? And the Bloody Mary was very uninspiring. Not bad per se, but definitely didn't measure up to the food served . Service was VERY good and the ambiance (OLD historical building) was to die for. Would definitely would come back, but would hope they'd step up their game behind the bar... read more

This is my favorite "go to" local restaurant for a casual Friday night (thank goodness their hours have extended again!). It's located in the back of an art gallery on the square in Carthage so you know to know what you're looking for. It has a great bar and a basic menu with just a little variety but not extensive. Probably one of the best steaks around, Cherry doesn't mess around with her quality of meat! I also love the chicken sandwich, it's ENORMOUS! The burger is also very popular and my husband loves the Reuben. It's worth calling ahead because they regularly have private events so you might wind up showing up and they are closed. read more

Place started by framing pictures. Then started selling art and opened up the restaurant when they moved to this location. People working there were very attentive and had some good conversations. Wish all restaurants had folks like that. French fries were a good pre-seasoned variety. Good cornbread. Tartar sauce was a good crunchy scallion variety. Fish batter was more of a panko style vs cornbread. Went well with the sauce. Chicken sandwich was good. A bit over cooked. Beautiful old building. Estimate 150 years old. Nicely restored floors and walls. Americana on the square. Come here to shop the square and eat here. Restaurant is in the back of the art work store. They also have a lot of great bourbons and cigars. They will pour samples of some of the more interesting flavored whiskies. The food is good but I pushed it to a 5 because of the people and the interesting ambience read more

Got a parking spot right in front of this local institution. Table for three for lunch (weekday) no waiting. Two chardonnays, one draft Dunkel, all icy cold. We ordered two entree Santa Fe salads and a chicken fried chicken sandwich. The salads included lots of detailed touches (grilled corn, fried avocado slices, homemade croutons), and the fried chicken was spectacular - no exaggeration. The server said it's a *fresh* chicken breast, buttermilk soak, dredged in flour, cooked at high heat until just done. Simplicity itself. After lunch, we browsed the (affiliated) general store, ended up purchasing a bottle of Wyoming Whiskey, and a Rombauer Chardonnay. Both prices were a few bucks higher than regular retail, but it was nice to have such a quality array from which to choose. read more

I had heard good things regarding this place from multiple people. I may have put higher expectations than needed, but overall I was not too impressed with the overall experience. Sure, the food is pretty good, however, I did not think it was worth the price. Most of the burgers run between $10-$12, which is pretty steep for the ingredients provided. The fries were okay, but mostly just filler. In regards to service, it was neither good nor bad. I did however enjoy the ambiance of the place as it is located behind an art gallery/store and had a good home feel! It may be tough to find though if you are not familiar with the area. Overall, decent food but probably wouldn't go back unless prices were better. read more

My wife and I stopped here as we were passing through on our way south. Read the reviews and it looked quaint and nice. We both ordered burgers and my wife ordered hers "no pink". Came out rare/medium rare at best, and mine was no better, but I ate it anyway. We are not complainers, but she couldn't eat hers, so we had to send it back. Instead of remaking it, it appeared that they laid it back on the grill on the "cut in half" edge of the burger patty to get the pink out of the middle edge and sent it back to us. Was still bloody red in the middle. Unacceptable. read more

I was in Carthage this weekend for an event hosted by The Woodshed. What an awesome venue and restaurant! I went in on Saturday for breakfast, the morning after the event, and had the "June Bug" pancakes. A delightful combination of fresh made pancake batter with blueberries and wait for it, .....CHEERIOS!! It was nothing short of fabulous. The only down side was listening to some hillbilly at the next table complaining about how his bacon was cooked and making it clear that he was simply disgruntled with life in general. I don't think they could have served this clown and his party anything he would have liked. But he mentioned he lived in Raymore, so I guess he needs a pass in general for his lot in life. Some people wouldn't be happy if you hung them with a new rope! The breakfast was so good I came back for lunch with local friends. I had the burger topped with cheese and pulled pork! I'm not sure who came up with that combo because it's as hard to imagine as Cheerios in your pancakes... but it was ANOTHER winner. We ended up spending a good deal of the afternoon just hanging out and enjoying a couple of adult beverages. The owner, Cherry, camesat with us and visited for far more time than I'm sure she had, along with chef and author of these concoctions, her son, Issac. The hospitality and service were first class, the food over the top great....and the price, more than reasonable. Where else can you eat, but on the way in, you're treated by walking through her other business, an art gallery? If you're doing the Route 66 tour or just passing through anywhere within driving distance, do yourself a favor; take the Carthage exit and visit The Woodshed. You absolutely will NOT regret it. WWPD? (What Would Paul Do?) He'll be back again. You should too! (This got deleted so I reposted it) read more

First of all, what a neat little place. It's all the way in the back of an art gallery, so the walk back to the restaurant is very pretty! Anyway, I went to the Woodshed one day on my lunch and ordered a turkey melt. Service was fast and friendly (I must have beat the lunch rush, because I had my sandwich in less than 5 minutes) and the sandwich was simple, but very good. Served with steak cut fries. I wouldn't hesitate to come back for lunch or dinner! I do think they had different ours during the week, so that would be worth checking out before going. read more

Great burgers!! Excellent service!! I came here with 5 adults, 2 kids at 11:30 on a weekday. The atmosphere was amusing with the art and random pieces on the walls. Our waitress was helpful, efficient, and very friendly. Everyone at my table ordered a burger with fries, I liked that you could get the fries half and half (half regular, half sweet potato) since I'd hadn't been there before and wanted to try both. The burgers are generous sized and flavorful. My toddler ordered a grilled cheese and ate it all, so I assume it must have been delicious as well. read more

Okay, maybe you can't make this sandwich at home! Some of the meats and cheeses aren't available at any local grocery stores or sandwich shops. Also the soups are home made and equally good. Not NY Jewish Delicatessen good, but this not what they are trying to be. But I try to judge things within their environment and as to what they are presenting themselves as. We have bought spices, dip blends, jams, and meat here, all very good quality and clearly made by experts. It seems they have spices, herbs, flours and other mixes that seem from a bulk supplier while others are clearly prepared locally or right there in the back. Cleanliness. You could eat off the floors! Its really clean, I mean spotless. And you how you can sometimes get a peak back into the warehouse and prep areas and they are dim, ugly, and foul smelling? Not here, even the back prep areas and storerooms are super clean, bright and probably really nice to work in. I hate to guess but it appears to me that Circle E is run by Mennonites. I apologize if I guessed wrong. The women and girls are in pastel dresses and pioneer style head coverings. Many of the men I've seen wear suspenders, beards without mustaches that are well trimmed, and hats like many associate with farmers. Again, I apologize for not actually knowing. My point is there is a work ethic that makes me feel a bit guilty every time I go in. They are all working so hard and fast! Don't let the conservative clothing make you skittish, theses are friendly, professional and knowledgable people. I'm generally good at small talk with strangers but these folks are all business and to the point, still friendly and patient. On this last trip I came home with pecan whipped honey, locally made summer sausage and teriyaki-pinapple beef sticks. I had a great sandwich on homemade multi grade soft wheat with horse radish cheese (a favorite I cannot find anywhere around here) and everything else I wanted on it, for a couple bucks. A soda with an old world label from some brand I've never heard of but all the regular brands and a soda fountain is available too. Sitting outside you can enjoy the fresh area, watch the farms and talk to the friendly farmers and ladies who lunch coming and going. Sit on the very well crafted resin furniture on display (expensive but the kind of stuff that is going to look great 100 years from now). And simply unwind a bit. I've been out here 4 times now and each time the service is fast, friendly and helpful. Everything I bought from peanut-butter dip (amazing with sliced apples) to dry beans, to meats and interesting pasta mixes has been superior to grocery store products. 15 minutes East outside of Carthage and its another would, country life, with a glimpse of what an old western market might have been like, if it was ultra clean and no gun fights on Main St. at high noon.

They make resin outdoor furniture too, really well made too.

Sign on road, don't miss it!

This is a mall fast food chain sandwich shop. Its not a traditional Philly cheesesteak sub shop and…read morewe don't expect it to be the same quality. So setting that aside, its a pretty good sandwich, they also make good fries and if you ask they will make it the way you want and you can get your sandwich a little closer to a more authentic Philly sandwich. They also have some unusal subs like chicken and teriyaki and they put mayo, lettuce, pickles and other veggies on their subs so I don't really consider them cheesesteak sandwiches. The ladies running this shop are all hustling and work hard to get your food out fast. They can be fun to watch as they work together.

Charlie's subs is awesome. The service is great and the frequent sub purchase cards worth it. This…read moreplace is life changing!
