    toasted lasagna
    Shelly T.

    We've been here multiple times (for lunch and dinner) and it's always been an amazing experience! We've tried almost a third of the menu and everything is always delicious. Our favorites would be the classic country fried steak and the chicken pot pie! I would recommend going earlier if you want to try any of the desserts (so worth it!!); whenever we go for dinner there's limited options since most are sold out by then. There's also an ATM machine if needed!

    Been a few years since vs e we were here and was disappointed because they didn't really have to many bbq options available. Had the Pulled Pork Sandwich and purchased an extra side. The pork was smoked well but the sauce on top was more vinegar than sweet as I ordered. The beans were very good but the potato salad had a very unusual taste that was very unpleasant.

    A historical stop along Old Route 66, BCR has been serving transcontinental travelers decent meals since 1929 (it's noted to have attracted legends such as Babe Ruth and Al Capone?). Just off the beaten path, you'll find casual dining ambience with smiling, friendly and attentive service and comforting home-cooked dishes. Overall, a solid 3.5+ for my experience; expect to pay around $12-25 for meals depending your hunger and craving. A full bar area plus Patio and main dining room seating. Tried the Fried Green Beans as a starter; served hot from kitchen with wasabi ranch (or regular ranch) dipping sauce. App was complementary with having a cold beverage and watching football! Tasty, shareable app (good varieties to choose) for 2. For dinner, ordered their house Chili (good flavors, heavy beans) "loaded up" and then shared a house-made Albacore Tuna Melt on Sourdough with Cheddar, Tomato and Bacon. Nice combo sandwich served with choice of side (picked house-made chips - crispy and fresh). It was solid for a local eatery, but I would've enjoyed my sandwich more if "grilled" crispier (seemed more toasty) like making one at home. But lots of good menu options to try ... crafted Burgers, local Pizza, full Dinner entrees, Salads and more - next time i'll try a Burger, Chicken Pot Pie or the Country Fried Steak. Check out BCR if exploring old Route 66 in Pond, MO. Enjoy!

    This restaurant is big with both indoor and outdoor seating. The menu is also big offering stuff mushrooms, nachos, poutine, potato skins, wings, toasted raviolis, soup, salad, burgers, sandwiches, pizzas, flatbreads, pot pies, salmon, etc. Blueberry pom martini $7.50 - Didn't taste much blueberry, but it was refreshing. Fried green beans $12 - Crispy and delicious! They are addictive and you may want your own basket. Reuben $13 - Served on marble rye with a good amount of smoked pastrami. Came with pickles and fries. Turkey Club $14 - Good sandwich. Carrot Cake $10 - Good, not great. .|\---/| | @_@ | ..\_^_/..2024

    We knew there was a speakeasy but unfortunately it was closed on the weekend when we went. It didn't state on their website nor social media. We ordered the ribs and a hamburger. We thought the ribs were tasty, however the burger was okay. Our waitress pretty much ignored us where we had to let her know we are ready to order and get the check. I would not recommend going back here for the food, but would be a good experience for the atmosphere.

    This is one of those classic Route 66 restaurants, and among the most popular in the state of Missouri. I went there twice (to give a fair review) and both times I had a real good experience. The first time I wasn't that hungry as I stopped in for lunch. I got the tunafish on toast and fries. The second time I decided to "go all out" and get one of their horseshoes. That's where I had to deduct one star: because it wasn't really a horseshoe, in my terms. The sandwich was good, but their horseshoes do not come with bread or cheese. I don't understand that; but whatever. But they gave me a decent serving of pulled pork and fries, and it also came with baked beans and coleslaw on the side. Service was great both times, and I would love to try other things on their menu. But be warned about the horseshoes!

    The restaurant is run down. Food is mediocre at best. Not the restaurant it was 10 years ago. Do yourself a favor and bypass the Chief.

    Corn chowder soup was warmed up corn starch, awful. I was hoping this place would be good.

    Does Big Chief offer delivery? I know Yelp states several restaurants "do" offer delivery that really don't. Has anyone ordered delivery from them? Thank you.

    This is such a wonderful place! If you need a sandwich..get it there if you need amazing ham salad…read more(and other deli items )...get it there. If you want the steak soup they serve in Annie Gunns....and I highly recommend it...get it there. And FRESH FISH. Amazing fresh fish. Also highly recommend the smoked shrimp, trout and the crab cakes. I could go on and on...so much goodness in there. The ambiance is a bit snug in there and it might be a bit overwhelming with all the amazing products, but so worth it. Take your time and stroll through. Service can be a bit tricky. Sometimes you need to wait in line at the beginning of the deli area but if want meat of fish you need to wait in that area.. But they are always running at full speed

    The Smokehouse Market is the place to find the best selection of all things delicious meats,…read morecheeses, and so many other yummy items to send your taste buds places they have never been before. You feel like you're walking into the most cozy little grocery store where everyone working is ready and willing to help you in any way they can. While you wait for your made-to-order sandwich, shop around for cheeses, sauces, breads, meats, honey, sweet treats, pickles, and so much more. My BBQ pulled pork sandwich was delicious and so was the turkey reuben sandwich too. They had too many yummy sides to pick from, but the pasta salad and broccoli salad I tried first were so good. I cannot wait to go back so I can keep trying all of the delicious options they serve up.
