Steve's Family Style Restaurant

great fried chicken dinner!!!!!!  my son in law from San Francisco said he wanted to go back next time he visits.. chicken perfect, mashed potatoes real and creamy with just a very few lumps for credibilityk, excellent cream gravy.....standard green beans with onions........the slaw is really pretty bad tho...

The chicken is good, not like the overpressured fast food variety found at KFC.  However, as one reviewer put it, the sides were less than spectacular.

If you love chicken then this is the place to go this is not fast food style fried chicken but this is pan fried chicken done perfectly moist and great flavor.  My nephew had the catfish today all white meat catfish this was not the belly's of the catfish but the good white meat breaded and pan fried.  He said it was really good he had the combo chicken and fish. The sides are great real potatoes mashed with cream gravy so unless you are from the city that has issues with cream gravy you will love this gravy and green beans for the side homemade coleslaw vinegar based just how I like it and applesauce and you start the meal with homemade bread and butter.  This place is worth the trip (west of Jeff City on Rt C) the hours are strange and what it says on the door isn't always true its hard sometimes to catch this place open you might want to call ahead before you make the drive.  By the way they serve family style if you have a large group and you can add country ham along with the chicken to your family style meal.  Two things that get my goat about this place the deserts are not homemade and NO sweet tea.  Can you believe it fried chicken and all the fix'ns but NO sweet tea.  I guess you can't have it all.  So if you want a good sit down home cooked meal make this trip but call ahead first.
