My entire family stopped in for lunch had a round of burgers, French fries and jalapeño poppers. The restaurant also has a bunch of fishing gear and bait you can buy at the counter.

While staying at the Honey Creek Resort hotel, we had free breakfast vouchers that we used here…read moredaily. The first day was a breakfast buffet while the other two mornings were made to order breakfasts. The buffet would have been $14/adult and $5/kid. It was not worth that! The only things I considered good were the French toast sticks, hashbrowns, and fruit. The eggs had no taste, and the sausage and bacon had an odd taste. Even our kids didn't eat anything except the fruit. The made to order breakfasts were better but still not great. I had a breakfast burrito the first day and an omelet the second. Our daughter had s'mores pancakes both days. My husband had the Country Bowl and Chicken Fried Steak. Our son would only eat fruit from the fruit plates. The food is expensive for the quality received. The service we had was good although it seemed to only be one person working each day for breakfast. We also ate the Thanksgiving buffet. They said they had 430ish reservations for it. When I heard that, I thought this must be good! Well, we weren't impressed. The turkey had a flavor we couldn't place. I found that I really only enjoyed the food they probably didn't make there like the salads, cheese, fruit, and desserts (pies and cakes). $25/adult was just too much for that meal! My advice is take your own food if you're staying there.

I dropped a star because the menu has about stayed the same and they were out of one of the chicken dishes and it was only 6 PM.

Hubby had a pork chop - - and it was delicious just like he remembered. The bread bowl is good and they graciously brought you more.

This is obviously a place that locals hang out - a couple of group tables were there at which it appeared friends meet, come and go. Men and women - most appearing my age group (retired). Menu was great and reasonably priced. All I ordered omwaa one pancake (it was very large!) along with OJ coffee. Server staff called me and others "Hon," which I found rather endearing. My pancake was delicious, the service was quick and friendly, and the place was bright and spacious. A perfect small town cafe. I should have taken more photos to post here!

Presuming our son ends up going to Truman, we will be back. To start, the rolls are fresh baked every day and served with local honey butter. They are amazing! Easily the best bread I have ever had. They are a cross between a yeast roll and a biscuit with a hint of sweetness...incredible! My son had the chicken piccata which, though the portion was a bit small, was extremely flavorful. He ate every bit. I had the prime rib sandwich. The portion was large with plenty of provel cheese, onions and mushrooms. It was also delicious. My wife got a giant pile of roast pork served with warm apples and a sweet glaze. The pork was fall apart tender and the glaze added a punch of flavor. All 3 of us had the home fries as the side. These were the crispiest potatoes I have ever had in my life. 10/10. Out waitress/hostess had plenty to do (I think she may have bend doing kitchen prep as well) but she was friendly, welcoming and accommodating. A few tips: the restaurant is very small with few staff (like one person who is the hostess and waitress for the entire place). Reservations strongly recommend. And maybe don't come here if you're in a hurry. Service was not fast but it's clearly because they are taking great care with the food and preparing everything fresh to order. The menu changes frequently so check their Facebook for the latest. All of the food is made fresh and they do run out. Book early in the evening if there is something you have your heart set on.

We walked in on the night of my cousin's graduation to celebrate a huge milestone. We walked in and the hostess stated she didn't have our reservation, another lady who was either the owner or manager came up hot and bothered and was EXTREMELY rude. On a hospitality level I give her a -50. She very rudely stated she didn't have our reservation and continued to be awful as we tried to clarify that we had made a reservation. Even if she could have been nice and apologetic about the reservation misunderstanding, I wouldn't have stayed to eat here and support this business. People need to learn how to treat other humans nicely. This lady was NOT nice, one of the rudest restaurant encounters I've ever had.

They ALWAYS have at least 4 varieties of pie choices: fruit, cream, or meringue. There's always a comfort food special for lunch, that is not only delicious; it's very affordable. Today was the first time I've come in for breakfast. Had the Eggs Benedict with an extra side of bacon. Oh my holy TOOTS and A HALF! The hollandaise is definitely from scratch and the pouched eggs are absolutely PERFECT! I like to sit at the counter. No matter where you find your seat, your bound to see someone you know or be welcomed with a more than friendly smile...... This is a place that you GOTTA try!

The food, the food was not fantastic, not good, not okay even. If you have ever wondered what prison food is like? Do you ask why your grandfather has stopping eating his nursing home meals? Really this was a very disappointing reunion with food that is subpar in every way. Too bad, Warren county deserves better.
