The Mustang Grill was jammed on my last visit with only one waitress working her a-- off. Another…read morewaitress joined her later, but seemed to be doing very little. Most places have an owner or manager to help during the busiest times: ring people up, clean off tables when none are available, etc. The Eldon school mascot is the Mustangs, so Mustang grill is an obvious choice, but they have used a Mustang car theme instead. The old school diner decor is cute, welcoming, and not too overdone. The place is also clean and new-looking, except for a couple of tables which had not been turned over yet when we arrived. Who knew Thursday lunch was so crazy in Eldon? I ordered the meatloaf special. Meatloaf was ok, but nowhere near as good as my mom makes. Mashed potatoes had the peels still on and were just less than ok, but the brown gravy was either powdered or out of a can, giving the mp-gravy combo that "cafeteria" taste. The nice waitress let me substitute deviled eggs for the green beans that normally come with the special, which I was happy about. You rarely see those on a menu, and they were good! Son got a burger and mashed potatoes. Loved the burger and griped about the mashed potatoes through the whole meal. He also kept going to the counter to get soda refills for himself and hub, since the lone waitress was running her legs off and the taller waitress was busy chatting and hanging out there. Hub got the tenderloin and plain chips, which they do in house. The tenderloin was the whole reason we came--he loves them there! He also got a basket of green bean fries for the table but ate all but about 10 of them. They come with a side of ranch dressing that is pretty good (for bottled.) From where I was sitting, I could see the waitress preparing root beer floats for another table. They looked delicious. She also inflated a balloon to give to a little kid. I'm sure that little kid was tickled pink to get that balloon at the end of her meal. Our food came out nice and quick for as busy as they were, and I had plenty to eat with just my slab of meatloaf and eggs. By the time we left, every table in the main room was full or full of dirty dishes and unrelated parties were sitting at opposite ends of large tables. Per the owner, they do not accept restaurant.com gift certificates, although they have been for sale on that website for months and the owner is aware of that. There is no sign on the door or near the register alerting customers to that fact, either. There aren't that many places to eat in Eldon. The ones that have closed in the last few years have closed for a reason. It's a nice little place for Eldon to have for the locals to eat.

The new Fall menu is out!! Wow! So many delicious choices…read more Pretzel appetizer. Bean dip- unexpectedly delish Whipped cheese spread. Dreaming about it. Meatballs. Enough to feed all 4 people! Beef stroganoff. 10/10 creamy. Tender beef. Enough for later. Filet Mignon and whipped deliciousness. Perfection. The miso sea bass is my favorite yet!! Filling. Fish cooked perfectly and the right mix of Asian flavors. The menu items for this Fall is TOP TIER!

This place is super solid - surprisingly so, we had a wonderful dinner here and excellent service…read more it started a bit rocky bc there was some misunderstanding and no one came to greet us or speak to us for about 15-20 minutes. My husband went to the host stand to say something and a server overheard and immediately came and paid wonderful attention to us after that and they gave us a free appetizer to make up for it which the manager delivered himself with another apology. All good. Handled expertly and the meal was 5 stars afterwards. We started with the Whipped Feta And Balsamic Roasted Strawberries which was different and really good and light. My husband ordered for his entree the Charred Double Cut Pork Loin for about $32 served with elote corn with bacon roasted potatoes. It was SO delicious - for real, probably the best pork loin I've ever had and the corn was fabulous. I had the Chilean Sea bass Chilean Sea Bass for $50 with tomatoes and orzo in saffron tomato broth. It was a huge portion of sea bass Coffee was good and we ordered a chocolate dessert mousse pie to go which was AMAZING. The food was all wonderful, service was superb and the view and location was gorgeous. We saw that they have rentals above in lofts which are beautiful and will absolutely consider staying here (and dining again for sure) if and when we visit in the future. Highly recommend. My husband is from St. Louis and has been to the Lake of the Ozarks probably 25x and said this was by far the best meal he's ever had here. He raved about it for a few days afterwards.
