Bears Den Gameroom & Grill

  What a pleasant surprise.   We missed the detour in Fredricktown, so we figured we'd push on to Greenville for dinner.  This is what my college art teacher used to call a happy accident.  
  
  Greenville has under 500 people, and it seems like mostly an old roadside stop.  Two gas stations, the Bears Den, auto repair shop..not much else comes to mind.  Our hopes were not high as we walked in, but it's a nice little diner.  Clean, some video games, a pool table, air hockey.  It's a gameroom and grill, like the name implies.  There were a handful of locals having dinner on this Thursday night.  It's a homey small town diner - the kind people like me like to find.
  
  We asked the waitress what was good and she said everything.  Now, this is a teen girl who we figure is the daughter of the cook.  From what we had, she was right, though.  I had chicken livers with a baked potato and green beans.  You've got to love a place where chicken livers are as prominent as anything on the menu.  They were pretty good.   The green beans were even better, really.  Not sure how they were seasoned, but wow, they were good.  The wife had a burger, daughter a big hot dog.  Major props for offering tater tots as an option to fries.  Total bill, about $18 and we all had drinks.  If I have a complaint, it's the food did take a while to come out.  But maybe, just maybe, life is a little less fast-paced in Greenville.
  
  The chef came out to greet us before we pushed on.  Nice folks.  Be sure and stop in if you're heading down highway 67 or in the Wappapello area.
