    Bruh. The turkey bowl- There aren't even words for that. That was wild in all the best ways. The service was awesome. We came twice while visiting and both times it was fast and friendly. The inside has a fun vibe, but the food really was super impressive. Definitely recommend.

    Two piece chicken and waffles with a side of fried okra. Added piece of catfish

    Amazing!! We walked in and was greeted immediately! The vibe was top notch! The staff was very welcoming and made sure that we were good! The food though!! My taste buds are so happy! The catfish was so flavorful and the tartar sauce really took it up a notch! I don't know whose grandma is in the kitchen but I thank them! All of the food was delicious and flavorful! The music also set a very comfortable vibe where you just want to sit and enjoy the ambiance! We live in Florida but when we come back this will be our first stop!

    The St. Robert/Fort Leonardwood area has some pretty awesome restaurants. I wish I had a little more time to explore. This place came highly recommended by the locals. The day I visited, the proprietor was in. I was greeted warmly and since it was my first time in, I was given an explanation of the concept and their menu. This same service was provided by the counter worker and the food runners. You place your order at the front counter. The space has a divey feel and a little dark inside. They offer high and low top seating. I took a seat and waited for my meal. Now I realize that this place specializes in fried chicken. It's in the name and everything. But I was in the mood for fried catfish so that's what I got. If they have a handle on the chicken half as good as they do on the fish just be ready for a good meal. The fish is crispy and flaky. I got a bowl of greens and mashed potatoes for my sides. The greens were excellent. Good flavor and I just drizzled a little hot sauce on top. The mashed potatoes are equally delicious but the gravy is fire. Another patron sat down next to me and was kind enough to allow me to photograph his meal. The Nashville hot chicken bowl is his go to meal. Juicy chicken on a bed of macaroni and cheese. He adds double protein.

    This place is OUTSTANDING! My little guy said 100/10! The prices are reasonable, the portions are huge and the taste is unbelievable! We are in town for our son in laws graduation from Ft. Leonard wood saw this place driving back to the BNB and we decided to try it out and we are so glad that we did. We ordered chicken and waffles, okra, Mac and cheese, green beans, red and rice, jambalaya, and can we please discuss the Biscuits!! We did not try the dessert but we did get two to go drinks! If we are ever here again and will be back for sure!! If you're here in town You Must!!! It is worth it! Phenomenal!

    I got a farmhouse sandwich with red beans and rice for lunch. I like that I can choose the tender fried or grilled for the sandwich. Special sauce is a thousand island style, but not as sweet, plenty of sauce, this is not an eat in the car sandwich. I got grilled chicken, on my farmhouse, it was cook perfectly. The fried chicken looked amazing, I was trying to be a little healthier today. I liked the red beans and rice, nothing outrageous, but still good. I did take out, service is very friendly, and speed was acceptable.

    Great service and great food. The portions were big and came out fast. And the biscuits are fire, melt in your mouth!

    The server was friendly and the service was quick. I didn't really like the taste of the chicken but the biscuit was really good. I liked the vibe of the restaurant and the rubber duckies. The booths were pretty uncomfortable though and there weren't any tables for a big party.

    Fried thigh piece. Wonderful crunchy taste no grease dripping out.

    OMG! Why did I wait so long to try this place out?? I finally stopped by for lunch to take home. I wasn't sure how to order so I just told the young lady what I wanted and she hooked me up. The fried chicken was on point, not greasy, very tasty and still plenty warm by the time I got home. What made this meal even better where the mashed potatoes and biscuits. The mash had a special distinct flavor. Wife thinks they use yogurt in the blend. The biscuits were huge, beautiful crusty top with honey taste. Definitely going back! Place doesn't look like much from the outside but it's nice inside. Has quirky farmhouse feel that makes it a nice place to eat in.

    The poutine bowl w/grilled chicken is the absolute best grab-and-go in town! The bottled root beer is an added treat.

    Too salty. Not great but there aren't many other options in that town. It's a town with an army base and it only exists because of it

    The food is great improvement from when I was last there 8-10 years ago. Service was good and food…read morewas hot and well prepared.

    First lets start with service, not great, I went to order food and when I said i wanted cottage…read morefries she said no no no that's nasty get steak fries instead, I said eh I I don't think and then she cut me off and said trust me those are nasty get steak fries so I just said whatever and got them and coleslaw with my burger, which I wasn't asked how I wanted cooked, fiancé got a burger, wasn't asked either, and kids got chicken strips. The steak fries were nasty, just plain fries, no salt or anything, both burgers were dry and no seasoning, and chicken strips, you guessed it, bland and dry, zero seasoning, close slaw was hot and watery, nasty flavor, mother in laws cottage cheese was warm and tasted off, like come on now, it's sad that frozen fries and chicken from Sam's Club is miles better than this garbage, I'm honestly upset that we payed almost $50 for that crap. I would have said something about how bad the food was but not one time were we asked how the food tasted or if we liked anything, even when I didn't touch the Coleslaw and gave the fries away she never said anything about it, also the place is small and cluttered, very outdated design and furniture, will never be going back and do not recommend at all!

    If you're anything like me, you research the restaurants at your travel destination before much…read moreelse. This place came so highly recommended, I had no choice but to pay them a visit. Pro tip: please check their facebook page for updated hours, contact information, and menu of the day. I stopped by to place a carry out order. The team was so welcoming and friendly. That perfect sincere hospitality you don't see too much anymore. The space is absolutely adorable and comfortable. When my order was ready, I was handed a bag that easily weighed five pounds! I went with the blackberry fried chicken. This is like nothing I've ever had. The chicken was super crispy like Korean fried chicken and just covered in a sweet sticky blackberry sauce. The chicken was well seasoned and juicy. Every single bite was perfect. I went with the macaroni and cheese and greens for my sides. Both came served in generous portions of deliciousness. The greens might be a little spicy if you don't like heat. My order came with two cornbread muffins. The meal was a very generous and a filling one. I also picked a slice of peach cobbler cheesecake from the dessert case. While tasty, I would have preferred one or the other. Both cheesecake and cobbler in one dessert was just a little too much for me. But delicious nonetheless. I can see why this spot comes with such great accolades for food service and hospitality.

    This truly is a hidden gem in Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri!! We went to visit my daughter for family…read moreday and graduation from basic training and all of the drill sergeants raved about how this was the best soul food restaurant in town. They didn't lie. Not only was the food amazing, but the service was also impeccable. The waitress was so nice, and she gave us history on the restaurant and her family. There were pictures of her family on the walls, and they even had a tree branch with wooden portraits of family members (family tree). It was so cool!! The food was so good!! We had the chicken wings, greens, mac and cheese, yams, and catfish. The portion sizes were huge, so we had food to go. A person in our party had the red beans and rice and fried corn and she said the red beans and rice was some of the best she has ever had, and the sauce on the fried corn was good. The cook's husband came out and talked to us at the end of our meal and gave us some background on how he was also in the military, retired and is now working at the restaurant with his wife along with his government job. Everybody was just so nice and welcoming, and it definitely was a great experience. The prices for the food was very affordable considering the portion sizes. We have to go back in January for her next graduation. We will definitely be going back to eat there. I can taste it already!!
