“My wife and I had heard about this place for awhile on a local foodie FB page and since we were in the area we decided to stop and try it out. I'm so glad we did. The food is fantastic and the woman who served us (I believe may be one of the owners) was super nice and took time to speak with us about our visit. We started with some pickle fries and corn nuggets. The pickle fries were by far the best I have ever had. They were sliced long and thin exactly like you would get from a french fry. I had never seen them done this way before but I love it. They were crunchy, flavorful and had a tiny bit of heat on the back end of the seasonings. We will definitely order these again. The corn nuggets were fantastic as well but one of the few items not made in house. Still worth ordering. My wife ordered a mushroom swiss burger. Overall it was good but she would have preferred a little more mushrooms than were on the burger and it was a tad dry but it was still definitely a great burger. The fries were just as good as the pickle fries. Had a nice crunchy coating on them and were outstanding. I had the breaded pork tenderloin and fried potato salad. The tenderloin was easily one of the top 2 tenderloins I have ever had. It was the perfect thickness, had a great crunch, and most importantly was seasoned well which is something some places don't do as well as they should. I regretted ordering the fried potato salad until I tasted it. It seemed weird but it was SOOO good. They are fried potatoes coated in an Alabama White BBQ sauce of sorts. It had a nice tanginess and slightly mustardy flavor. I definitely was sad when I ran out. After discussing their BBQ, we were presented with a small sample of their brisket cubes and pulled pork! OMG! They could easily go head to head with some of the best BBQ's in KC with that pulled pork. It was so moist, juicy, and had the perfect level of smoke to it. I am not normally a pulled pork fan because it can be dry sometimes but not this one! So good! The cubed brisket was superb as well. Big, meaty chunks of brisket that resemble burnt ends without the char. They melt in your mouth as well and didn't even need sauce to make them palatable. I already have about 5 people from my pork tenderloin fan group planning trips soon to partake in this fantastic specimen. Overall the experience was fantastic and I feel this is quite the hidden gem in Kearney Missouri!!“
“We ate here tonight on it was great. We are staying at the Elms. The Elms is great; but, food is high priced and mediocre. The Ventana had a great menu and loved the atmosphere. I had a Spinach salad which is best salad I've had in long time. Service was great. Would go tomorrow again to try something else; but headed home.“
