5 Best American Restaurants in Dexter

“We stopped in for a lunch break from working at the fish farm. It was so good. I wish I could remember what I ate. I just remember it was some kind of chicken wrap and it was amazing. We will go there again!“

“A little out of the way but, obviously a local favorite and worth the jog off the highway if you're adventurous.
Great food, reasonable prices, and an on-site t-shirt maker with some great transfers. Had a great breakfast and bought three t-shirts and it didn't break the bank!“

“Our first time and it was good. We liked the atmosphere that they’ve created, very unique set up. The food was good and I’d like to go back and try some more of the good variety options that they have. 💯 recommend.“

“I had breakfast at the Huddle House in Dexter, mo this morning. We were greeted immediately upon entering, found a table and our drink order was taken promptly. After a very only a few minutes our drinks arrived and our food order was taken. Again, in a very short time, our food arrived, just as we ordered it, hot and delicious. Our coffee cups never got below half full and every staff member that passed our table made eye contact. We never wanted for anything. The only place any staff member stopped moving was at the point where food came up and while waiting for food there every staff member was scanning the dining room. It was clear who was the manager, because he was truly managing this well oiled machine. Having worked in management/supervision for decades this was a very refreshing experience. Today its difficult to recognize most managers in restaurants because they're working so hard on the floor taking care of customers because the quality of the employees that they manage is very low. It was clear that the management at this HH had put the effort into their staff up front and now only needed to oversee them, not carry their load. If you are, or plan to be in restaurant management, I would recommend eating at the Huddle House in Dexter, mo. Pay attention to what they pay attention to and imitate them. We have the better part of our last two generations entering the work force with very little going for them as far as work skills and ethics, and they're not learning much at most all entry level jobs. Shame on parents and employers! The young people I watched work at HH this morning are head and shoulders above most and have much brighter futures than most their age. Thank you for a wonderful breakfast and for giving me hope for our younger generations.“

“As a patron, we loved the rustic vibe throughout the whole interior with the decor reminding people that this place has been open since 1949. We sat and ordered some of their signature dishes like the Lotta Pig Basket and Cheeseburger Basket along with their infamous Spicy Mustard Sauce and Red Sauce. The Lotta Pig has a nice light smoke flavor with a beautiful soft tear in the meat and the slaw added that wonderous crunch to help with the textures. When you combine the light smoke flavor, the smoothness of the slaw, and that nice spicy bite from the mustard, it make absolute sense on why this sandwich has lasted all these years and is still the locals favorite. The cheeseburger was a smash burger that was well seasoned and added a touch of crisp along the edges. We ordered a couple Cyclones (their personal crafted ice crram) with one being an Oreo and the other Banana Peanut Butter. That was the perfect ending for a meal that was outstanding, especially on a day that was slightly over 100 degrees. As a Content Creator, I had the privilege of sitting with the owner and discussing the history of the location as well as her personal history with the establishment.
