Reviews
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Jackie Dotson
Visited this restaurant after hearing about it from a few other people and it did not disappoint. They apparently have different, featured meals during the week and on Fridays it is steak, which is the day we visited the place. Parking was readily available and the space in side was plentiful and there were plenty of places to sit. The service we received was also excellent and all staff members we encountered were very nice.
We ordered a 16 oz ribeye steak (they only had one left) and a hamburger. The steak was cooked perfectly, which is a rarity at other restaurants, especially steakhouses in the area. Unfortunately, they ran out of steaks the night we visited and only had the one left that we ordered, which speaks highly of those in my opinion so if you want one on steak night you might want to arrive early. The hamburger seemed like a pre-patted patty but it was still good, prepared correctly, and served with all the trimmings.
Overall it was a great trip and I will definitely visit again.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Brett Nolen
If you haven’t given this place a try, do me a favor… go to The Bistro House and get a steak! Instead of spending your money at a chain steak house, take a chance! Fresh cut, marinaded overnight and cooked to order (not frozen)! The steak was unbelievable!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Rehn Keeton
I had the club sandwich, and it was amazing. There were 2 sandwiches, but I ate the first one before taking the picture. Mac and cheese was good, too.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — O’Connell Family
Every time I go, they knock it out of the park. We love eating here. It’s local and it has a great variety of food. Definitely one of our go to spots!

Fantastic Experience – A New Tradition!
We were recommended this place by a local, and it did not disappoint! The food was absolutely delicious, the service was quick and friendly, and the whole experience was just what we were hoping for. I would’ve added a photo of the beautiful food—but we ate it too fast to take one! It’s rare to find a spot that gets everything right, but this one definitely did. We’ll be making it a yearly tradition from now on!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Carli Dee
Stopped in for a quick bite on my way back to Georgia coming from Pulaski County MO.
Very clean, very nice and good good food. I had tomato basil, broccoli and cheese soup with and american spud. Absolutely tasty. The soup was even good cold. I ate it about an hour later.
The hubs had the steak melt on wheat. He was definitely impressed.
We will be back in May. Next time we head home to MO. Thank you❤️
