Customer Reviews

"Great surprise along the road. Great decor and service. Food was very good. Pretty standard American cafe food on the menu. Our waitress had a great demeanor. Friendly and attentive. The manager (or owner) stopped by to check on everyone. Well worth the stop on the way to or from Branson."

- Jacob A.

"New and bigger location. Same great food and welcoming people who are here for you to enjoy your visit. Adorable gift shop with reasonably priced gifts. Ladies, use the bathroom and try the salt or sugar scrub. You will be happy to bring some home."

- Christina

"The food was delicious. My wife couldn't stop raving about the BLT, and enjoyed the onion rings as well. My son enjoyed his grilled cheese and fries so much that he ate everything. The pancakes were light and fluffy with a little crisp on the edges. Also, the scent and flavor of vanilla is what really made these pancakes delicious."

- Leonard C.
