I'm not from Jeff City, but was driving by and seen that the place was packed, so I stopped to eat. Super friendly staff, beyond reasonable prices. I don't normally like anybody's white gravy but my own, but my server recommended the Country Fried Steak. It came with 2 sides in addition to the mashed potatoes and gravy. The food came out fairly quickly even though they were busy. It was steaming hot and fresh. The steak was so tender and had great flavor. It was NOT dried out...read full review

Sometimes there is a short wait but it's worth it. Great service, they are a well oiled machine. Biscuits are great but everything is. We have never had bad food here.Parking: Plenty.

Outstanding diner breakfasts served fast and hot, even when busy. Place is expectedly noisy but clientele is a nice hodgepodge of chattiness and friendly. For a little over ten bucks you can fill yourself up in preparation for the busy day ahead and not break the budget. Service staff courtesy and synergy with kitchen is a huge plus. They're moving soon, to a larger nearby location. 9.4/10 ...might be the best breakfast in a town full of good breakfast spots.
