April 12, 2024 An odd spring day in the Osage. It was calm…read more Very little wind. The blades on the windmills were still as if frozen. Mother nature didn't want to spin them today. Towers of smoke were visible across the prairie from the controlled burns. The smoky heated gases escaping straight up for hundreds of feet, undisturbed by the calm air, then billowing out like a big shade tree as they cool to the elevation. The temperature is perfect. Everything is green, growing, getting what needs to be done before the blistering summer heat. A great day to take a scenic drive to Mandy's Café. It has been a couple of years. A big double burger like the last time, but with fries today. The burger is a meal itself; stay focused on it. There will be fries left behind. The best burger for 50 miles in any direction.

Imagine owning a business where you allegedly pay all of your staff under the table so you can…read moreallegedly avoid paying federal taxes, but on top of that, you allegedly don't allow them to clock in/out and you don't allow them access to see or count or question the tips collected daily because you allegedly pool their tips and then YOU tell THEM what they made at the end of each shift. Imagine these servers being college students and single mothers. Also imagine that each one of these servers is on to your alleged theft and deception and they collectively decide they've had enough of you stealing the money THEY earned while you're allegedly putting in a beautiful, brand new pool at your home. Then imagine they allegedly start keeping their own numbers and accounting for their earnings which allegedly do not match up with your VENMO payout each day. Imagine one of them is my 21 year old daughter, who is a college senior and allegedly rallies the entire staff to stand up for themselves and finally question you. Then imagine in the meeting that allegedly every single word was recorded, YOU FIRE HER, after allegedly cussing her out, and refuse to show her, or any of them, your accounting. That's such a wild concept to me! You fired a 21 year old who questioned her earnings because you knew you were caught, Brittany Rupp. As for dining at The Vintage Steakhouse in Morrison, OK, (where the FB reviews are turned off ) I would strongly discourage you from spending your money there.

We didn't have much hope of finding a restaurant still open after 8:30 in a small, rural town and worried we'd have to drive far out of our way to find something to eat, but we spied this charming bar glowing across the street. What an oasis! We walked in to find a cool watering hole with a safari theme, complete with real taxidermied African animals on the wall and creative lighting that was fun, inviting and surprisingly chic. Our waitress was helpful and nice and had great drink and food suggestions. The fare was quite good and again, more than we expected. We were impressed they graciously marked vegetarian items as such in their menu which was much appreciated by the vegetarian in our troupe. We also LOVED their version of a Long Island Iced Tea, which we highly recommend if you're ever there. It was a great place to unwind and debrief from our event and being late on a weeknight, we pretty much had the place to ourselves, so it was the perfect ending to our time in Sedan. A nice meal here was just what we needed to fuel our long, late night journey back to the city.

We were seated in Justin's section and if you go there please ask for him! He is so friendly, helpful and loves working there! I had the breakfast cowboy burrito, it was good but I was also very happy with the salsa it came with. The salsa wasn't watery, and had a little bite to It. My sister got the veggie scramble she said it was great. We also wanted to try the cheesy grits, I'm a huge grit fan but honestly, these fell short. They had an enamel after taste from the crock they came in and seriously needed salt. But other than that everything was really good! Definitely make a reservation ahead of time as they do get busy!

I really can't believe I'm here. This was on my bucket list so now I can check it off. The only…read morething better would be if the pioneer woman herself appeared. I did some heavy duty shopping at the Merc.!!!! and also left behind probably a dozen more things I would've loved to have picked up and brought home. Yes, I would say it's a little more expensive than your average kitchen supply store but if you're going to somewhere upscale, I would say the prices are in line with that type of property. Lucky me -I made reservations for lunch for myself (since the boys decided they did not want anything to do with my shopping extravaganza!) I can't get over the quality and the quantity of the food. It's absolutely fabulous. They gave me complementary biscuits and homemade strawberry rhubarb jam. I would rate it five star -the biscuits just which you would like- light and fluffy and the jam freshly made and delicious. I also ordered what was called olive bread just because I love olives so much. I thought it would be a piece or two of bread with olives but instead it's like four or five pieces of bread, so I'll definitely be taking some home and it will become my dinner along with whatever else I have left because their portions are very generous. For my main course, I ordered the cornbread fish over rice and creamed spinach. It's not only beautiful and don't you know we eat with our eyes first!! Well, just take a look for yourself. Oh, me oh my happy day.!!!! Justin is my server. Everyone in both the restaurant and retail area have been absolutely wonderful and have helped me a couple times as I had questions and then I brought a baking pan down to pay for it with all my other Mercantile items not knowing that if the merch is up in the bakery, you gotta pay for it in the bakery....I did get a lot of stuff up there- some cookies, brownie and scones and some "vintage" candy for my husband. I don't know why I didn't put that small Bundt pan on the counter!! They actually have a beautiful staircase, but they also have an elevator so with my bum leg that was my choice. I took the mini Bundt pan back up, paid for it and then proceeded to take my three XL or maybe even 2XL Mercantile Brown Handled Bags out to my trunk. (I hope that my husband doesn't put me on top of the car for the ride home!!!) ----at the very least, I'm probably going to be squished in the backseat with those bags and my 72# dog; however, this was TOTALLY worth it. I can't stop smiling. I love it here. All that shopping made me hungry and timing was perfect so once my bags were safely in the trunk -I walked right up to the hostess stand -she confirmed my table was ready and I was seated on a very comfy cushioned area that was behind my 2-top but I believe it extended to either side of me where the tables were both 4-tops. Justin was my server and he was fantastic. He took excellent care of me and I observed him giving the same high quality customer service to customers at his other tables. He had that charming OK accent and indeed told me he had lived at the next little town all his life. We had actually passed through Bartlesville on the way to "The Bunkhouse" (our ABNB for the 2-nights which was very near Pawhuska. (I'll be posting other reviews regarding the "Merc" mercantile and general store and the merchandise available and what I purchased.) This is one of my best days ever. The only thing that could've added to my joy was if Ree Drummond herself made an appearance. I was shocked when I went out to leave for home and found the Drummond Ranch truck parked next to my car. I never found out if it was just parked there as an advertisement, (although I don't think they need any advertising), or if there was a Drummond on the premises. I didn't mention I took 2 Turkey Bacon Club Sandwiches along with the home made potato chips (they came with each sandwich) and a side of MacNCheese which is what the boys chose from the menu. Happy to report that everything was made to order as requested and my family enjoyed their meal just as much as I did-however they missed the incredible ambience!!!
