Our first experience tonight and will not be our last. Seriously impressed with the food and the service. They were packed with big tables and our table was treated as a priority. Our table ordered 4 different entrees, 3 were specials and literally every entree was amazing. Would highly recommend and will make this our go to place for dinners out. Blackened Barrimundi, Mahi and Shrimp. 10/10 would recommend and eat again!

We had lunch. There were 5 specials. We had a nice fish plate with shrimp, mixed vegetables, potato cake, and bread. I am telling everyone how good everything was and plan to go back

My friend and I went to the Li`l Black River Cafe in Grandin, Missouri, last night for the prime rib, sorry to report the prime rib and gravy was cold and tastless, the other entrees were of small portions and also cold. I ask to have my food warmed up in a microwave and was informed that the cook didnot believe in using microwave`s, OK, I see "so why send out cold food"! Our waitress was busy with another table in another room and we hardly saw her, the rest of the wait staff was helpfull though, when asked. We had a considerable wait time from when the salad was served and main meal arrived, so was dissapointed that the food was cold. This was our second visit in the last two months, the first time we had the steak, both time`s the food was subpar. Having worked in the food and beverage industry I know the importance of timing the food as to be served hot. If the server was busy as ours was, may I suggest having a dictated expeditor to take the food out immediately so as to not allow the meal to set in the kitchen and get cold. I would also suggest that if there is a problem like the food being sent back during the meal that a manager address these issue`s with the table and not leave these problems to their over worked server`s, who may have no control over these issue`s! Thank you all for your time! I am sorry for the poor review, it seems from previous reviews that in the years past this had been a excellent restaurant. It`s still not too late to make changes and regain your past glory!

Five star cuisine and service. The friendliest staff which are a direct reflection on the owners. Make the drive; you won’t regret it.

Great Hamburger! I didn't care for their fries, a little soggy, not crisp.

By far the best restaurant meal I have had in years. And way out in rural Missouri. I've driven past them over the years without stopping......that will never happen again for sure. Best food and service (and price) you can imagine. To top it off, if you pay cash, you don't have to pay the 3% fee. Get the blackened shrimp and scallops with grits. It's incredible.

What a great little place. Right on the banks of the Little Black River. The Black River is known to have the cleanest water of all the rivers in Missouri. The service made you feel right at home. The food was delicious. Their fries are better than McDonald's. No kidding. And don't overlook the homemade deserts at the counter.
