The prices are very reasonable. I had the pork tenderloin sandwich with fried mushrooms, and both were very good. The tenderloin was on Texas toast-unusual, but a great idea!

We have found everything we've ordered to have great taste and never leave hungry, most of the time take home left over because it's that good. It's a small little resturant very Quant and friendly. It's one of our favorite go to for breakfast, but has great choices for lunches as well. This is one of three where the have two sisters branch resturant, on the original downtown Farmington, Mo. And I assume #3 is downtown Park Hill, Mo. And we can tell you all three are about the same, we don't think you will dislike the food and any three of them, we have ate at all three and recommend all three in all areas. Thank management and owners for excellent shops and staff. We continue eating at all three in the future.

I asked what they do best and the waitress confidently recommended catfish and proceeded to talk about the breading and all. A woman at a nearby table said "it's so good" and held up a piece to take a bite. I was sold and the crunch of the breading was awesome and the fish was amazing! The hand cut fries were great too. And because I needed more fried food, I ordered a side of fried pickles. Yum with ranch! My sister had the ribeye sandwich and wouldn't stop talking about how awesome it was. She loved everything about it. Made each of us try it. Talked about the marinade, the fresh mushrooms that were sauted and all the things. And the onion rings were so good she gushed. My brother-in-law had a brisket pastrami that he loved. We had a great server who was friendly, quick and knew the place inside and out! They have been traveling for three weeks and said this was the best meal of the trip! That definitely rates stars and a Yelp review!

When I brought this to the waitress's attention, I was told there were no refunds, and she brought me a new plate--even though I clearly explained that I did not want another plate.

It took raising our voices before they finally agreed to remove the charge. The long wait, poor food quality, and especially the way the situation was handled made for a very frustrating experience. Unfortunately, based on this visit, I cannot recommend this restaurant.

I ordered the chicken strips, and they were incredibly dry, almost as if they had been sitting out for too long. The fries were equally disappointing completely basic and served without any salt.

Honestly, I've had better quality and much better-tasting food at standard fast-food chains for a fraction of the cost. I won't be returning.
