Though the setting is cafeteria style and nothing fancy or unique, it was very clean, very pleasant. The service was too notch! Fast. Friendly, very responsive. Wonderful people working there. The FOOD! Epic!!! I would eat here every morning!!! Some of the best biscuits and gravy Ive gad anywhere and the ham steak was wonderful. For a unique experience, get their legendary cinnamon roll! Seriously it's the size of a soccer ball! My picture does not do it justice! If I could give this place 6 stars I would!

Went to Stewart's with another couple for breakfast. I and my friend got the steak and eggs. our…read moresteaks were tender and cooked perfectly to order. I got crispy hashbrowns with mine and they were grilled to perfection. The table also got a cinnamon roll to share which was huge and one of the best cinnamon rolls you can get. Well worth the stop. Our waitress Presley was great. Our coffees were never emptied, and our meals were served promptly and she was quite friendly. This is a place you must stop when in Bagnell Dam.

My husband ordered the Spicy Rooster omelet not realizing the quantity of green bell peppers that would be included. He anticipated poblanos or jalapenos so that was the only disappointment but perhaps we didn't read the menu close enough? Service was great. Looking forward to the day when they are able to expand to a larger space to accommodate all their fans and minimize the wait for weekend brunch. OH! and if you do go there on a day with people waiting outside, please be considerate and enjoy your meal and haul ***

We went to Jolly Rodgers by boat on a fairly hot day. They don't have any fans or anything going so…read moreit was pretty stagnant and humid. I don't necessarily blame them for that because that's just outside, but I felt like they could try to keep the flies away in someway because they were thick. I ended up ordering tacos and the meat came cold. They ended up remaking them and they were fine, but nothing to write home about some of the other things that people that I was with looked a little bit better, but it would definitely not be a recommendation from me. The theming was fun, but it was average at best.

Firstly, I must express my disappointment in the restaurant's current state. Upon searching for…read moretheir establishment, the first result displayed is located by the lake, but it is currently undergoing renovations without prior notification or updated maps regarding it beinf closed. We chose to dine at this restaurant due to its favorable Yelp ratings and its reputation for serving large cinnamon rolls. However, it is important to note that the restaurant operates until 2:00 PM. We arrived at approximately 11:30 AM, but unfortunately, they did not have any cinnamon rolls available. My boyfriend and I reside in Kansas City and had spent the weekend exploring the Ozarks. To our dismay, the cinnamon rolls were the whole reason we came. This was particularly disappointing, as we had also ordered a side of cheese curds, which were still frozen despite having been deep-fried. The majority of the food items appeared to have been prepared from canned or boxed ingredients.

It was a little slow because they were so busy but they had a dude playing guitar and singing songs. Absolutely worth the wait and essential to end your day on the lake.

The family decided this was the place to go for early dinner the Saturday of Labor Day weekend…read more Fortunately it wasn't super busy and we got a parking spot right outside the door. That's pretty fortuitous since it was 100°+F outside. Overall it looked like parking was a smidge limited, so I'd imagine if this place is busy, you might have a bit of trouble finding a spot. We hit the shift change, but our waitress was prompt and had drinks (hello Guinness) for us pretty quickly. Sidenote though, sitting close to the door when it's really hot out can prove a bit uncomfortable with people entering/exiting and being blasted with heat. We started with an order of fried pickle spears, which were tasty, but fell apart after a bit or two and were fairly messy. Mom and I opted for an order of the chicken and waffles each. It looked significant in the pictures, but having not really eaten all day, I was feeling ambitious. Mom failed to eat half of hers. At the expense of my waistline, I was able to devour the entirety of the 4x millionaire's-esque bacon strips, 3x waffles, 2x fried chicken breasts, and the orange maple syrup (which was unique and fantastic). Overall, while it was pretty good, it was more of an exercise in quantity over quality. I can't even fathom a dessert after this size of meal. This was closer to a 4.5 star experience, but next time I'd probably want to do something with a smaller portion to save room for cheesecake and an Irish coffee.
