Quiet. On the main drag. Sarah and owner were very friendly and accommodating. Menu selections were substantial. Good was delicious. They offer alcohol, too. Reasonably priced. With going to.

Great place to have a nice meal. The steaks are great especially the beef medallions with the champagne sauce. The ribeye is also very good as she sources her meat locally. Lunch here is good as well and served fast if you're in a hurry. Could hardly do better than this in Vandalia.

Food was fantastic but the service was even better! The waitress & manager/owner treated us so well, had a nice homey feel. We absolutely loved the tuna & salmon, and the Alfredo was some of the best we ever had. Perfect place to stop on our long road trip!

On a business trip headed home to Rogersville MO from Indianapolis. Got off the interstate for a “break”. Decided we were hungry so found this place on Google. I had the Long Boat Shrimp with the medium spicy Sriracha sauce. It was spicy but fantastic. I will be back next time I come that way.

Two weary homeward bound Manhattanites ( the pickiest!) chose this as the only non fast food option. Our expectations were low but the food was good and the helpings large. Flowerpot bread was cute but somewhat sweet. Didn’t have room for dessert.

Had the chicken wrap and a cup of the potato soup, both were delicious! Only downside was that I wasn't expecting the wrap to be spicy, so it took me by surprise and took my breath away for a moment (it doesn't take much spice to do that to me). But I finished every bite! I'll be back again for it!

I was very impressed with the food and service here.

The locals were raving about this place, had to give it a try. Found one of the best BBQ pulled pork sandwiches I've ever had!
