Whatever they do to their fried chicken is amazing!!! So tender, so juicy, so delicious! Hand cut fries are the best! Don’t really like the dollar bills stapled to the wall but otherwise it’s quaint chicken themed decor

Stopped in on a Sunday morning on our way back from Branson and it was a full house. Waited over an hour for our food and server let our coffee go cold. Food was fresh and hot and had great flavor but the wait made it a bad experience.

This review is based on years of reading here, old location and the current. Your food depends greatly on who’s cooking that day. Breakfast is more of a risk. They have zero idea how to cook hashed browns, don’t even try. Biscuits and gravy are wonderful, obviously because there is a decades old system in place that has never changed—and no line-cook involved (this is key). Eggs? Get scrambled or fried hard or you’re screwed. Trust me. And, if your order is was wrong, NEVER expect a friendly interaction. You might get nice words, but the tone will cut you like a knife. So, you better eat what’s in front of you like a good boy (that’s the tone). You’ll also get “we don’t get complaints” nonsense, which is useless to argue with. Fried chicken, amazing. Catfish, amazing. Meatloaf is acceptable, but nothing special. Chicken fried steak breading is probably not what you’re expecting (think fried mushroom style breading). Fried pickles are amazing. Notice most of the good stuff is fried, again, the cooks have ZERO SKILL WITH A GRIDDLE OR GRILL! You might get the one cook that can, but good luck. They’ll treat you like you’re crazy if you complain… “because they don’t get complaints” — they think customers are spoiled kids. In fact, they’ll often give you the entire meal for free, but not out of the goodness of their heart… it’s because when they “fix” your order, they don’t want to bother with you anymore when it’s wrong… again. So, be warned. This is NOT a one-time visit review. This is from YEARS of experience playing good-food-roulette here. Oh yah… and they’re SLOW AS MOLASSES! So you’d better not be in a hurry, especially on the weekend.

Taste like homemade! Even if something is wrong they fix it. Thet just need to hook up with a delivery system.
Probably the best chicken livers I've had! And I've tried plenty! We will be returning. Yum!

You are going to wait a little while for your food. But it is well worth the wait everything is great!

Rosie Jo’s in Ozark is the kind of place you go when your stomach wants supper and your heart wants company. It sits there by the highway like a dependable aunt—no fuss, a good hug, and something hot on a heavy plate.
Inside, the décor leans country-comfort: a rooster here, a quilt square there, the kind of wood paneling that’s seen its share of coffee refills and birthday pies. The menu reads like a church potluck ballot—chicken-fried steak, fried catfish, meatloaf, biscuits that surrender at the touch, green beans that have clearly known bacon, and mashed potatoes whipped the old Lutheran way (with conviction and butter). Gravy arrives in the generous style of the Ozarks, not as a drizzle but as policy. If you’re of a tender spirit, the fried pickles will buck you up. If you’re feeling bold, order the chicken-fried chicken and let the crisp do the talking.
Service is quick with a “hon” and a grin, the sort of attentive that sets down an extra napkin before you realize you’ll need it. Don’t come hunting for candlelight and hushed tones—Rosie Jo’s hums like a Wednesday night fellowship hall: clatter from the kitchen, a chuckle from the corner table, a toddler negotiating for one more French fry. It’s lively, a little worn at the edges, and entirely unpretentious.
A small story: I knew a woman who judged restaurants by their gravy. “If it keeps the potatoes from feeling lonely,” she said, “it’s a good place.” By that standard, Rosie Jo’s is a solid marriage.
Dessert? Think pies of the practical sort—apple, pecan, maybe a seasonal flirtation—and a scoop of vanilla that does exactly what ice cream is meant to do: make you glad you stayed.
Neighborly advice: arrive hungry, order what your grandma would have approved of, and take your time. Rosie Jo’s isn’t a performance; it’s a porch light. You’ll leave a little fuller, a little friendlier, and liable to say, “That’ll do,” which is high praise around here.
I had a great experince.... Was craving a chicken fried steak, and man did I find it.....mmm, mmm, delicious!!! Meal came with ice cream, excellent! The service was good, friendly and priced about right... Definitely recommend👍👍
