15 Best American Restaurants in Rolla

“Restaurant/bar with Great food. Had the chicken basket - 4 Huge & fresh chicken strips to put any fast food or other 5 star restaurant to shame. Very juicy and very nicely seasoned. Will be going back. It is a restaurant and bar type, when we went there was a live band - which was a Great band, was just a little loud for evening dinner but we were there late. Will go back for both dinner and entertainment but may go earlier if taking the family to dinner first“

“Food is good. We had a corporate event today ATC fed everyone. Im still full. The teriyaki chicken burrito is slamming delicious 😋 along with the " chicken and ranch taco.“

“Oh my gosh when I tell you I have had the best times here I mean it!! I always get the loaded potato waves and an oreo shake. The waves are crispy, cheesy, and make me feel a different type way. Applebee's of Rolla MO has the best server I have ever had!! Emily was so easy to get along with and prioritized not just getting food to the table, but connecting with the table. She was happy to chat with us, happy to do it all. I loved her and will be back! 🔥🔥🔥“

“Another great experience awesome food but the service is what knocks it out of the park. Hands down best place to eat in rolla.“

“Definitely a solid place for food, especially given the area. Is it anything exceptional? If it wasn’t in Rolla would it still be 5 stars? No, I don’t think so. The smashburger was quite good (the potato bun, the texture, the sauce) but I wouldn’t compare it to NYC 7th Street Burger. The actual hamburger itself wasn’t anything out-of-this-world. My dinner mates really enjoyed their meals. A few personal preferences: the bread was a little thick on the Pig, Fig, & Apple and the Turkey Pesto could’ve used more sauce. The menu is a tad small but also well curated.“

“Food was great staff was friendly!“

“We come here often. With all the different food allergies, everybody finds something to eat.“

“Love the friendly staff and a little bit of banter I had with them. always love the food definitely didn't regret going in here tonight“

“Food was delicious & environment was clean. Staff was alert & greeted us as we walked in. 10/10 recommend Dickeys in Rolla!“

“It's Denny's if you are trying to go eat here. The Burger Den is their online ordering system. So if you're looking for a great Burger, it's still here at Denny's. I guess it's a way to pull travelers off the road to try Denny's again. It worked for us. The food here at Denny's was delicious.“

“Very good service the are very nice people and kindly“

“Four of my friends and I stopped at “A Slice of Pie” for lunch on our way to Kimmswick for the Christmas Cookie Walk. I had eaten there with my daughter, about ten years ago, which is WAY too long. I used to buy their ‘Take and Bake’ Pies at Harter House, but my local store no longer carries them. They’ve always been good. Why did it take me so long to come back? I’m usually traveling with my husband and he prefers BBQ or a burger when we’re traveling. I’m glad I mentioned it Saturday, when we were looking for a place to eat lunch! We all loved it so much that we ate there again the next day, on our way home. Between us, we tried both kinds of Chicken Pot Pie (Traditional and Mushroom), the Chicken Salad on Croissant, the Tomato Soup, and the Bacon Quiche. Each entree was served with two hot rolls. I didn’t have room for the rolls, but those who did said they were good. Dessert? You may have to take it with you, but they’re packaged well. The quiche reheats well in the microwave. Those who tried it said it was the best quiche ever, and ordered it again the second day, so I took a piece home to try. I haven’t tried my Cherry Raspberry yet, but the others said the Coconut Cream (whipped cream) and Custard were wonderful. I did try one of his cinnamon/sugar pie crust cookies. They tasted just like my mama used to make. He said he’s planning to sell those at the Harter House Stores in the Springfield area, so I’ll be looking for them. He’s also bringing a truck to Harter House in Springfield on Eastgate, occasionally, so I’ll be watching their Facebook Page so I can buy a piece of pie without going to Rolla. Good pie crust makes a pie, and luckily, you can find them in the freezer case at Harter House and Price Cutter Stores. Look for “Mickey’s Pie Crust”, ready to put in the oven and bake.“

“Im from Springfield missouri and its been years since we had a Maid-Rite. So anytime I am driving through or near Rolla I always make a point to stop by or even drive there specifically just to eat here becayse why not!?
. Still the same taste as I remembered when I was a kid. Please never shut down 😢😢
Also the fries are better than McDonald's hands down.
Sincerely an out of town loyal customer.“

“Went with my wife for dinner last night. It was hands down the worst dining experience we've had in decades. We got seated fast and our server was quick to take our drink orders and get them to us and then she took our food orders. We met our daughter and son in law and sat with them. It took a very long time for our food to arrive. Our server disappeared and did not refill drinks or rolls. There weren't many people dining. We could not understand why it was taking so long. When our food arrived it was all kinds of wrong. I ordered the smoked sirloin and baked potato. It was cold. I ordered medium rare and it was definitely more medium well. The steak was dry. 3 of us ordered salads as a side and they were delivered with our meal. We had to ask at least 3 times for A1 only to be told by another server that they were out. I ordered unsweetened tea and was twice given sweet tea. My daughter ordered a medium rare smoked sirloin and it was definitely rare. The women's restroom was closed with water all over the floor. We didn't get more rolls until we were almost finished eating. It was a terrible experience. I eat there at lunchtime with business often and usually get excellent service and food. We are local and have noted that the dinnertime quality has declined over time and last night confirmed it. We were very disappointed. We had a gift card and that's the only positive about the experience is that we did not pay for the terrible food and service.“
