    Hot Chocolate (we requested the whipped cream)
    D R.

    We're so glad we stopped into RJ's. Everything was perfect from the coffee to the hash browns. Having worked in restaurants myself for years I noticed the little things like the half and half with real cream, higher quality syrup, pancakes from scratch, not cheap coffee, and the thick cut smoked bacon. My husband had the all you can eat breakfast buffet and had 3 "happy" plates. Everything he tried was good. My favorite thing was the pancakes. However, I've never had better bacon at a restaurant so maybe my favorite was the bacon. But then again the hash browns were perfectly on point so maybe it was a he hash browns. Initially our table was overlooked. I think there was confusion or maybe they were just busy. I started to wonder if we should just leave. Once our waitress noticed she more than made up for it. I felt like we received really good service and it truly added to the experience. We thank you for a memorable breakfast on our way out of town RJ's!!

    The burrito had some kind of funky taste, my daughter was crying about it, then I tasted and was like ewww, do not eat...

    The nastiest food ever!!! The kids would not eat it because it tasted so bad...they would not do anything about it at all...the owner was an a*****e and said you do not get a refund if you buy a car, it's not my fault the food was nasty and your kids did not eat it...horrible food and experience!!! I did taste it and confirm it was nasty also before I said anything... the waitress never came over to check on how the food was, so could not let her know either...

    Breakfast Burritos

    Had an amazing breakfast here on our family weekend trip. They have pretty much any breakfast food you can imagine. The service was friendly and quick while the food was delicious!

    Crunchy French Toast with a side of eggs and bacon

    Delicious food topped with good service. Voted #1 for a reason...definitely recommend if your staying by the lake or surrounding area.

    Good but cool.

    Good traditional American comfort food. Nothing fancy, just a reliable place to have breakfast or lunch.

    5 star eating establishment. A local casual, out of the way place to get delicious food. It is…read morenothing fancy, but then I don't go to a restaurant for fancy, I go for great food and Willowes does not disappoint. The waitress Desirae was promptly taking my drink order and recommending the onion straws for an appetizer. She delivered it with both a homemade ranch as well as a homemade Cajun ranch for dipping. Make sure to try the Cajun ranch sauce. I the ordered the Cajun Pasta and did it deliver. Shrimp, sausage, peppers, onions and mushrooms in Cajun white sauce served over penned pasta. It came with 2 pieces of Texas toast. I required 2 more pieces to soak up all that lovely sauce. The meal was very reasonably priced. They serve Pepsi products. Looking forward to returning with friends in a couple weeks.

    I recommend this place next time you're in the area. I was staying at the Lake of the Ozarks State…read morePark and wanted to eat. There wasn't a lot to choose from but I found this place and am so glad I did. Being a big-city gal and a female traveling alone I can feel a little apprehensive when stopping in small towns. It was obvious all the customers were regulars and they all knew each other, but the staff made me feel welcome. I had the meatloaf and mashed potatoes. I had never had meatloaf smothered with brown gravy before but it was great! They have a full bar and a great selection of beer. I loved the ambiance of the place, it felt like a throw-back in time. The menu was a combination of good old-fashioned comfort foods and some exotic items on the menu. They have something for everybody.
