The food was fresh and hot, Gracie provided amazing customer service. She was alone and we had a whole bus but she did excellent with a smile read more

I don't understand how this place has so many good reviews. We went for the weekend buffet. Some of the food was so dried out that it was unrecognizable. What I did get, wasn't even hot. It's a miracle we didn't get food poisoning. There was a pot of something near the desserts that was brown and separated. I'm not sure if it was supposed to be chocolate sauce or a soup. The website said the food was made from scratch. That was not the case. Most if not all of it was heat and eat or canned. There were box cake mixes I could see from the open kitchen door. If I wanted something like that, I could just swing by Walmart. The cold salad section had different foods mixed in like customers had used the same spoon for different dishes. This was by far the worst buffet we have ever encountered. We won't be back. read more

On our way to the state park, husband and I stopped for breakfast. Our server was very pleasant. The food was just so-so. We ordered fried eggs, hashbrowns, very well-done bacon and toast/biscuit. The eggs were cooked to our orders. Bacon was still limp and fatty. The hashbrowns should have been cooked longer to provide a nice crunch. Toast was fine but the biscuit was just ok. We probably wouldn't try breakfast there again. read more

Friendly staff. Food was ok. It was nothing to write home about. "Grilled" chicken breast was bland with no seasoning. The mushrooms were good. Cheeseburger was ok. The hamburger steak was not very big. I think the portion sizes over all were small. read more

Great Buffet and reasonably prices. Great quality and Service! Thank You. I am a Lebanon resident! A bit of a drive but well worth it!

We stopped here on our bikes over Memorial Day weekend and had a great breakfast!!! The food was AMAZING and our waitress was certainly a bright spot in our day !! She's been a waitress 15+ years and you could tell she's in her element :) she loves people . We loved the atmosphere there as they treated us special in every way! We actually even talked them out of a certain cup we liked lol Would definitively stop there again !! Thank you to the management : great good at a great price!! read more

Rolled up with a bus of 40+ (we were expected), and the delightful staff took everyone's lunch orders, got us drinks and then the orders without much of a wait. Large facility as our group only used 20% of the space. I would stop by again. read more

"Scotty, ya want a Dr Pepper or the sweet tea?" a server yells across the restaurant to an entering regular. It's that kind of small town, everybody knows your name place. The very reasonably priced meals are good values, considering the portion sizes. My lunch Patty Melt was satisfactory: generous sprinkles of salt and pepper improved what seemed like unseasoned beef. The house-made chips were mostly crispy without being burnt. A cheeseburger was also generous: 1/3 lb. The large, open interior and corrugated metal walls give Rocking Chair a comfortable barn vibe. read more

Food so cheap, it'll knock your socks off. Tip your waitresses well because yes. They rang it all up. Yes. It is THAT cheap! Weird! Because this is a restaurant adjacent to a truck stop. Instead of gouging their captive audience, they are sliding them some deals! I got a cheeseburger with no bun, a choice of 5 cheeses and how I want my burger dressed, and cheese fries and lentil soup for $8. Yeah $8. Did I stutter?? Lol, I sound so tough and mean! *the office* When the cashier told me the total, i burst out laughing and asked her, was she sure? Did she ring AAALL that up? She assured me she did-- then she hand delivered it to me on my lonely bench, where I perched and waited on my carry out order while I people watched. WI has some great, committed parents, with some freaking adorable kids. God I hope I get sent back here! Ok. The food was other worldly. The smoked cheese I got from the gas station this restaurant is attached to was also crazy cheap; and so freaking 'no you can't buy this at home. Come here and get it!' Ok. To sum up. I had the BEST experience here! Yum!! Why dies the food in WI taste so frigging good?! What the heck, WI?? Smooth roads, friendly people, goid food AND cheap cheese?? This is the kinda conspiracy I love the most!!! read more

Great service and fresh food, laid back but people stare as you come through the door

Food was great. Service wasn't bad easy place to stop for breakfast right off the highway.

Post COVID-19 review: Ample spacing between tables. All employees wore masks. Very clean restrooms. Felt comfortable eating here. NOW, on to the FOOD! I ordered breakfast (of course!) and it was excellent. I like my bacon very crispy and always order it that way, but some cooks either ignore the request, or think they know better than me what I really want. This cook gave me EXACTLY what I wanted and I truly appreciate that! Eggs were cooked to perfection, the amount of hash browns was NOT overwhelming, and the BISCUIT... Out. of. this. WORLD! Unlike any other biscuit I've ever had. The waitress checked back with us about coffee refills, but was not overly bothersome. All in all, SO glad we stopped here! read more

Good service and tasty food. I enjoyed the family atmosphere. This was my second visit, and it did not take to long to be served. The server was friendly and insured that we were taken care of. read more

Went at 5 pm on a Saturday. Packed so we thought maybe it would be slow. Wrong. Staff was friendly and prompt. Drinks arrived quickly, order taken and food arrived hot. ( which is important for country cooking food). Wife had breakfast. Looked good. Bacon done perfectly. Crispy and good portion. I had chicken fried steak, mashed potatoes and salad. Nice combo salad. White gravy in meant and potatoes. Good portions and good taste. Prices were about as expected for home cooking meal. About 4 states, other than Missouri, in the parking lot so nice mix of people. read more

This little gem sits off the interstate & is well worth the stop! Home cooked, fresh, friendly & clean... those aren't words you often use when describing a place right off the highway that isn't a chain, but they all fit for this one! We were driving home from a very long trip & thanks to Yelp we came across this place. I'm so glad we did. If I ever make it back their way, I would DEFINITELY stop here again! The staff are friendly & funny. We had a server who went out of her way to make us feel welcomed & comfortable...even bringing me a small pillow to sit on because of an injury. It may not rank 5 stars on every scale, but it sure does for us. Keep up the great work! read more

We rode here on the motorcycle today with 4 other people on the recommendation from another biker. Oh course we took the back roads and not the interstate. We were pleasantly surprised especially when they told us about the buffet. We all ordered it and it was so good! Juicy fried chicken, smoked bbq ribs, twice baked mashed potatoes, salad bar, veggies, great homemade cinnamon rolls and desserts! Needless to say, we were completely full and satisfied. Oh and I forgot to mention they still had the breakfast buffet going at the beginning, so the boys are both. The waitress was a hoot, she was so friendly and funny. We will definitely be back! read more

I the food at his restaurant is incredible for a small town business. They always have a wide amount of options for kids and adults. The servers at this returaunt are always kind and love to joke with us even when you are new at eating here you feel amazingly welcomed and happy. The ambiance of this restaurant is old timey and classic wich I'm my opinion is amazing and sometimes hard to find. I will decently be back! read more

Home cooking at its finest! Super friendly staff & AMAZING food! Our family ordered breakfast food, grilled cheese, meatloaf, and hamburger steak! We loved it all! read more

Really enjoyed our breakfast here. The server (Glenna) made us feel welcome immediately. The breakfast buffet was not fancy, but it was full of some delicious cut potatoes and some amazing bacon. And the prices were unbelievably reasonable! Bathrooms were also very clean and well stocked. read more

My husband and I always go to the Rocking Chair when we go on fishing trips. It's a big place but has the feel of a small town diner. There's always a friendly greeting when you walk in the door. They have a good buffet on weekends but this last time was during the week so we ordered off the menu. My husband had a pork chop, mashed potatoes and gravy, slaw, and cornbread. I opted for breakfast and got French toast, bacon, and hashed Browns. Everything was good as always. We've never had a bad meal there. Our waitress did a great job. Highly recommend! read more

So good. Catfish was delicious. Reasonably priced and my kids ate so that's what matters! Staff is so so nice.

cute restaurant right off the highway. great service and phenomenal food! highly recommend

This at one time was an outstanding diner with great food. How have they changed. Canned vegetables and a so so cinnamon roll will get you one star. I gave it two stars due to the waitress who has been there for years. She was a gem. The Sunday buffet was $10.49 and it was a sad assortment of canned foods and delicious fried chicken. The mashed potatoes were real and fantastic. I often wonder what happened to this place. I've stopped here periodically over the years and I'm sorry to say this was more than likely my last go round. They have solid pies. read more

Possibly one of the best restaurants in the area! Amazing service, delicious buffet and great menu. Can't wait to go back!

Mediocre. It use to be better. It has declined over the years. 1/2 the time it's okay 1/2 the time it's not.

Great spot! It doesn't look like much from the outside but inside it's big and open and nicely decorated. Even the restrooms were spotlessly clean. We had burgers and fries and they were really good. I'm going to have to come back and try breakfast. They have homemade pie and cobblers I will try next time also. read more

Local people introduced us this restaurant. It is a old fashion style restaurant. Lots of old people and family here. We like our meals. Daily special was roasted beef about $6.99. It was light seasoned. Very health and good for old people. I like it. Reuben sandwich is about $5.59. It was really good. I added fried mushrooms for $1 more, worth it. read more

This place was amazing! We stopped for dinner after reading some reviews and we were so glad we did. I had the open-faced roast beef dinner and it was excellent. Best homemade roll I've ever had. Tried the fried mushrooms app and it was very good. My husband had the half-order of ribs and the portion was huge and he said the meat was tender and tasty. We ordered an apple cobbler to go and a cinnamon roll for the morning. It was mammoth! Vickie was our waitress and she was so friendly and helpful with choosing what to get. Also love the decor in this place. We'll definitely come back when traveling from Michigan to Oklahoma. I love finding places like this. read more

Rocking Chair Restaurant - Good olde fashion food. It hit the spot. - American Near Me - Conway, Missouri

We were told to check out this place by a local. Inside, it's a very homey feeling. Everyone seems to know each other, and the waitresses are wonderful. I ordered an omelette with grits, and my husband got pancakes and bacon. The food was so freaking good. The restaurant itself is enormous. We were in the first room, once you walk in, but the bathrooms are located past the registers in a completely different room twice the size. The food was cheap. Would definitely go here again if passing through! read more

A plain building on the side of the interstate hides the quality of the food and friendliness of the staff. Fresh made burgers and fries, but the blackberry cobbler a la mode. Wow. Have traveled this road for years but recently found this hidden gem. Only stop on way home!! read more
