There were several good vegetarian options available to us. We ended up ordering: - Avocado toast: this is an interesting take on avocado toast, it includes pico de gallo, but was really, really tasty. It came with two eggs too. - Power Greens Breakfast Bowl: very good option! The flavor was great, the toppings were fresh, and the eggs were a nice protein addition. - Garden salad: a HUGE salad with plenty of chunky veggies. The portions are quite large. We ended up with leftovers, which worked out well for us. If we have to be back in Bolivar again, we'll definitely be repeat customers.

They play the part of a small diner, it doesn't feel authentic, but they did a good job of looking like one. The food is on par. Nothing special, nothing to write home about. The burger is what you'd expect, the fries are diner fries, the club is something you'd expect from a place that serves burgers,fries, onion rings, chicken strip. I can't really comment on specifics, I've only been twice, but have no bad things to say about it. If it helps, I'll be going back when I'm driving down 44 again.

Although the burger came out hot, fresh and was very good....It had a few tiny slivers of onions, a tiny drop or two of ketchup & mayonnaise. Is it customary to request extra toppings to encourage Caspers to place what is standard at other burger shops? It wasn't my last meal, but for an $8.00 burger it was disappointing to get back to work and feel like I just ate 2 smashed burger patties and bread with no sauce or toppings...

Great Breakfast Spot!…read more I'll start by admitting--I'm not usually a breakfast person. I like it fine, but I'd often rather wait until lunch to start eating for the day. We stopped here on our way back to Tulsa from Branson, and I'm so glad we did! My son had the pancake platter, which he absolutely loved. But the real star? The breakfast sliders. Oh my goodness--these are the BEST breakfast sandwiches I've ever had. The bread is perfect--fluffy on the inside, slightly crispy on the outside. I chose the sausage (bacon and ham are also options), and it was delicious. The eggs were perfectly cooked, and the cheese paired beautifully. You get two sliders per plate and can choose your side bread item--I went with the house potatoes, which were seasoned perfectly and had the same delightful fluffy-yet-crispy texture as the bread. I could only eat one slider myself and brought the other home for my husband--he texted me the next morning saying it was just as amazing. Our waitress (I'm sorry I forgot her name!) was so kind and welcoming. The place is small and charmingly decorated, adding to the cozy vibe. All in all, we had the best breakfast. This is definitely a must-stop and a place I'll recommend to anyone traveling this way. Highly recommend!
