“Tried the chicken fried chicken with mashed potatoes and Dressed roasted Brussels sprouts a couple months ago and, while the chicken and potatoes were delicious, the Brussels sprouts were barely cooked and my roll wasn’t even warm. Went back today, Feb 21, 2024 during the lunch hour and ordered same thing but I requested they cook the Brussels to tender. It was DELICIOUS!! Josh, the bartender, was our waiter and was fantastic. This location has never disappointed me. Great staff and great food!“

I arrived and everything was ready, everyone was kind and didn’t make me feel like I was an inconvenience at all. A young man even helped me carry it to my car 😊“

Jennifer provided us with high quality service and was quite patient with our crew! All of our food was top notch and exactly how we ordered it! Food arrived quickly and was nice and hot! Overall we were very pleased with our experience! We will definitely be back! As a bonus, they do offer a discount for Veterans!“

“Absolutely delicious. So friendly and prompt service.“

“It is getting harder and harder to find a restaurant that serves beef burgers and Fords has a good one. I don’t know of any other restaurants serving beef burgers on every day of the week! I like beef burgers on a hot dog style bun with either fries or onion rings. Ford’ has it. Great food reasonable priced. Highly recommended!“

“Haven't tried everything on their menu but everything I've tried has been good. Staff are friendly and courteous. Place is clean, well maintained and is more spacious than I expected. Other than specials, drink prices aren't cheap but they aren't unreasonable, either. The beers I've tried so far have all been fresh and flavorful. Best Reuben sandwich I've had anywhere with thick, generous serving of corned beef and served on really good, marbled bread.“

“Adams made our previous experience go away. They were quick to call and let me know they looked into our complaint and it was valid. They took great care of us last night. The prime rib was perfection! Service was fantastic! Thank you!“

“Food was great, and in front of of me before I was done fixin my coffee“

“So, stopped by this little joint on a recommendation from a friend. And was not disappointed. An order of 24 wings for $28. Some might say that's too expensive. Ogre says "SHUT YOUR MOUTH, YA GET WHAT YA PAY FOR" and man did I. So they start with a dry rub, then smoked, then brushed on sauce of choice. I chose zombie and garlic pom. Came with a side of homemade chips (which didn't make it 4 blocks). Oh, and might I add, ya get more meat on these "wings" than ya get on some of the fast food legs. DEFINITELY OGRE APPROVED! And theu had some whiskey selection, but couldn't sample since I was still in the work buggy.“

“We came in town for the weekend from Iowa. This was one of our first stops. The staff and owners were extremely nice and welcoming. They have a fun indoor/outdoor atmosphere. We loved the outdoor deck which has great views of the downtown strip. Definitely will be back here on our next trip to town.“

“Great place for breakfast. Coffee always on table. Servers have great personalities they make you feel welcome“

“We had a great time tonight at the Fireside bar and grill inside the Saint Joseph Frontier Casino. I believe I counted 34 flat screen TVs showing every sport possible. MK the bartender was super polite and friendly. The Saturday tenderloin special for $4.99 was really good! Will definitely be back!“

“I have been to Chili's Grill & Bar (St. Joseph, MO) several times. The food was excellent and the server was awesome. My server and former student, Ember Simerly is kind, helpful and my favorite server. She treats you well.“

“Garlic butter sauce all over my car seat because the shrimp container was NOT properly closed, not enough starter sauce for an entire pan of fish and my baked potatoes were all burnt. Everything else was wonderful. NEVER DO TO GO ORDERS! IT'S TOO LATE TO ASK FOR YOUR MONEY BACK!“
