    Pork Tenderloin Dinner w/Fresh cut fries and cottage cheese. Really good!! Could cut it with a fork.
    John P.

    First time here but not the last. So hard to find really good home style cooked meals but this place is one. Service was excellent also.

    a basket of french fries

    Came in around Midnight on a Saturday....Servers seemed overwhelmed/short staffed....Table was a little sticky, and menus could use some updating...Dirty stained menus are a turn off for me....Silverware was clean...Burger was cooked well done, and was ok...The fries seemed to be hand cut and were above average.

    Pork tenderloin sandwich $6.49

    Very good place to stop right off the highway. Ordered the pork tenderloin sandwich and it was delicious. Good flavor and just the right amount of breading. Husband got the chicken fried steak special with three sides for $7.69. I am generally Leary of truck stops but it was separate from the gas station and clean. The menus are a bit old and dirty. The bathroom was clean and updated. Friendly staff. We will be back!

    Pork chop, hash browns, eggs and biscuits.

    Good home cooking at a very reasonable price. Don't let the truck stop fool you. There was only a couple truckers in here.

    Burger and fries.

    It's under new ownership but as delicious as it's always been. Also it's been remodeled and the smoke smell is out, which is a huge plus to me. My regular order has been the same since high school: cheeseburger and fries with a bottomless cup of coffee. But the small hamburger steak with gravy and grilled onions is a winner and so is the fried chicken.

    8 oz. medium-well steak with potato salad, green beans, and a drink. As well as the other food we ordered in the background. :)

    Visited here during my daughter's college orientation visit. I love the name of the "Pitt's…read moreburger". I wasn't hungry enough to try it. I had the ono Hawaiian burger that had two good size juicy delish hamburger patties, a pineapple ring and secret kahuna sauce that tasted sort of like a sweet bbq to me. Very good and very filling! Choices for sides we all chose the onion rings. Thin cut light tempura type breading, VERY GOOD! also very filling as you get a pile of them! I want to try other things so will definitely be back! They have Coke products which is a big plus for me and our family! My wife wasn't as hungry so she got three sliders HOWEVER, the sliders had double patties too so each slider was big! And also very tasty! I haven't tried the chicken sandwiches or the wings so I don't know how they are and I may not get to them either because the burger was SO good! I may keep trying the burgers when I return.

    Was looking for a place that had food our 4 and 6 year old grandsons could eat, so after much…read moresearching online, we decided to give this place a try. First of all, the bar height only tables are not conducive to bringing small kids to a restaurant. The adults were nervous trying to make sure they didn't fall off the bar height chairs. I had the burger with the egg on it. Loved everything about this burger. Both burger and egg cooked perfectly. Wife had the Hawaiian burger, which she thought was delicious. Brother-in-law had the burger with the mac and cheese with the mac and cheese on the side; he absolutely raved about the mac and cheese. For appetizers, we bought the pepperjack bites and the spicy green beans. The green beans were fabulous, although I would have enjoyed dipping them in a spicier ranch than regular ranch, although it was very good ranch. We all ordered the french fries and onion rings with our dishes. All of us agreed both the rings and the fries were on the greasy side. I think the greasiness of the fries is what gave my stomach some issues later. The bartender who took care of me paying the bill was very nice. Big, welcoming, friendly smile; pleasant attitude and communication. The service industry needs more people like this guy. Would definitely try this place again to try something else on their vast menu. Might have to not eat for about two days so I can try the double patty hamburger with the fried chicken in the middle of the sandwich. Or their fried peanut butter and jelly. Or wings with their multitude of flavors of sauces and spices.

    Stopped by for dinner on our way through Joplin. Glad we did!…read more I ordered the new Chicken Potpie. I was warned that it would be bubbling hot because they cook it in the pizza oven, it wasn't a lie! I love my food hot! I even had to blow on it to cool it down. It wasn't perfection...only thing that would have been better is to have some potatoes in it, but it still was delicious. There was a good amount of chicken too, I'm stuffed and couldn't eat it all...I tried! Hubby had the Soy Glazed Salmon. It came with rice and broccoli. He really enjoyed it. It came highly recommended by Boston, our server. Great recommendation! Boston kept our drinks full and was very attentive. We will ask for his section when we are back in town. Bathrooms were clean and the restaurant was pretty full on a Sunday night. Definitely will go back when we are in the area! I saw a cheeseburger that look good too...next time!

I also ordered cheese curds and the were nice and hot. Everyone enjoyed their food. There were 5 of us. The waitress did notice they brought me the wrong salad and she offered to fix it but I said I was fine. I also had the Sunset Beach cocktail and you could definitely taste the blackberry. It was pretty good. We agreed we would eat here again.
