People were friendly but food was not that great. Ice tea and orange juice were colored water. Biscuits and gravy was ice cold. The pancakes wouldn't even melt butter and were very dry and crumbley. They really didn't seem to care either way or the other.

We were driving through Eldon on our way from the Ozarks to Kansas City. We decided to eat somewhere and saw The Mustang Grill pop up on the map. The place did not look the greatest from the outside, but we are soooo glad we decided to go in! The food was delicious and the prices could not be beat! We will absolutely be stopping in again when we go through Eldon!

The Mustang Grill was jammed on my last visit with only one waitress working her a-- off. Another waitress joined her later, but seemed to be doing very little. Most places have an owner or manager to help during the busiest times: ring people up, clean off tables when none are available, etc. The Eldon school mascot is the Mustangs, so Mustang grill is an obvious choice, but they have used a Mustang car theme instead. The old school diner decor is cute, welcoming, and not too overdone. The place is also clean and new-looking, except for a couple of tables which had not been turned over yet when we arrived. Who knew Thursday lunch was so crazy in Eldon? I ordered the meatloaf special. Meatloaf was ok, but nowhere near as good as my mom makes. Mashed potatoes had the peels still on and were just less than ok, but the brown gravy was either powdered or out of a can, giving the mp-gravy combo that "cafeteria" taste. The nice waitress let me substitute deviled eggs for the green beans that normally come with the special, which I was happy about. You rarely see those on a menu, and they were good! Son got a burger and mashed potatoes. Loved the burger and griped about the mashed potatoes through the whole meal. He also kept going to the counter to get soda refills for himself and hub, since the lone waitress was running her legs off and the taller waitress was busy chatting and hanging out there. Hub got the tenderloin and plain chips, which they do in house. The tenderloin was the whole reason we came--he loves them there! He also got a basket of green bean fries for the table but ate all but about 10 of them. They come with a side of ranch dressing that is pretty good (for bottled.) From where I was sitting, I could see the waitress preparing root beer floats for another table. They looked delicious. She also inflated a balloon to give to a little kid. I'm sure that little kid was tickled pink to get that balloon at the end of her meal. Our food came out nice and quick for as busy as they were, and I had plenty to eat with just my slab of meatloaf and eggs. By the time we left, every table in the main room was full or full of dirty dishes and unrelated parties were sitting at opposite ends of large tables. Per the owner, they do not accept restaurant.com gift certificates, although they have been for sale on that website for months and the owner is aware of that. There is no sign on the door or near the register alerting customers to that fact, either. There aren't that many places to eat in Eldon. The ones that have closed in the last few years have closed for a reason. It's a nice little place for Eldon to have for the locals to eat.

We came for lunch & it was fantastic. We each had a bacon cheeseburger one with fries, one with fried green beans, & one with deviled eggs. All the sides we had were great. They also have pies for dessert, but we were too full. Save that for next time.
