We were just driving by and thought we better grab some food. It's a Saturday night and it's…read moreValentine's Day. We didn't have reservations but we still stopped. Won't know until you ask. We waited for approximately an hour before a table was ready for us. We talked to the locals who said the food was well worth it. So glad we stayed. The locals were right. It was worth the wait. The food very tasty and we got a lot of food. I took home half of my very tender ribeye (perfectly cooked.). Hubby took home some of his tenderloin platter. Save room for dessert (we didn't) because they have a large variety. We Will definitely return to eat here if we find ourselves in the area! The ranch dressing and croutons were homemade (said the locals). They have been there for 30 years. They also own a restaurant in Hannibal.

The decor and vibe are great for the area....it has that ranch, Missouri vibe. The only reason I am only giving 3 stars is that our burger buns were soggy and way too thin for the amazing quality beef patty and the fries were cold and "eh" -- maybe the sweet potato fries would be better? The beef patty was cooked perfectly and so juicy and thick. I'm positive our amazing server would have fixed these issues had we asked but we were tired and just wanted to get back on the road. Good value for the meal and we enjoyed it here.

Been going to the hoof for several years because they have great food but today in particular the…read morecook forgot our ticket. We sat and sat and there were only 2 other tables in the whole place. Sat and listened to the waitress tell another table loudly about her new vehicle purchase when I felt after a half an hour maybe she should have checking where our medium rare steaks were. She came by and asked if we were doing okay and my husband and I both asked why it was taking so long and her response was "I guess he didn't see your ticket" she guesses? Finally get our food and they both came with undercooked sweet potatoes and I specifically asked when I was ordering if they have sweet potatoes today. Her reply was yes. So when I got her attention and told her it was hard and undercooked I said if they have regular baked I'd take that instead. Then we were told the morning cook forgot to put them in this am. My reply was "I guess people are forgetting a lot around here today." Got the baked potato w only butter because I asked for my sweet potato w only butter no brown sugar so then her next time by I asked for it. She was then slamming things behind the counter where we were sitting and sighing heavily and at one point caught her apron on something and yelled out. Just not a pleasant experience and I just got in from Iowa today and was super excited to go to the hoof. Not so much anymore.

I got the filet prepared blue bell style which had a blue cheese sauce, portobello mushroom, and shallot marmalade. It was cooked to perfection and super flavorful. I upgraded to garlic mashed potatoes, which were excellent. Unfortunately, our server was inattentive after placing our order. Our drinks had been empty for awhile and when we got our entrees and our server said she'd be back with refills. A food runner came by with drinks after about 10 minutes but they were for a different table, so he left. No one ever came back with refills. Eventually after we were done with our entrees for quite some time, our server finally came back to give us the check. For a nicer establishment in Quincy, I would hope to get good service.

The service was amazing--the entire service team was…read morecompletely in sync, anticipating every need and working together at a level that honestly rivals some of the Michelin-starred restaurants I've reviewed. It was seamless, attentive, and genuinely impressive without ever feeling overbearing. And the food was just as impressive. We had the Wagyu ribeye, burger, salad service, and toasted ravioli, and everything was perfect. Every dish was prepared beautifully and delivered with the kind of attention to detail you hope for when dining somewhere special. One of the highlights of the evening was having the opportunity to speak with the owner. His passion for the restaurant was obvious, but more importantly, his commitment to quality, consistency, and exceptional service really stood out. You can tell that these aren't just words on a mission statement--he is personally invested in making sure every guest has an outstanding experience. That commitment clearly carries through to the staff, the food, and the overall atmosphere. And if you go, you absolutely have to get the wedding cake. It was incredible and easily one of the highlights of the meal. I absolutely assure this is worth the drive and I really want to have a Yelp elite event here. They have a section of their wine list dedicated to my favorite wine maker. When you go grab a bottle of Orin Swift. Great food, exceptional service, and an owner who genuinely cares about getting every detail right. A true 5-star experience and one I would highly recommend.
