Pioneer Restaurant Reviews
I was excited to eat here, a local popular cafe. So disappointed. The waitress wouldn't give me a menu, and the portions were ridiculously small. I ordered chicken fried steak and it was so small. The server seemed inconvenienced by my presence, and the food itself was terrible. Please do better as an introduction to the Ozarks.
After reading the reviews, we were very excited to go try this place out. It looks like nothing fancy but that was fine with us. We went specifically for the Buffett but in any of the reviews or anywhere online did it mention they ONLY have the buffet on certain days, basically weekends and only certain times.

Their buffet is so so good. You can tell it is homemade. Fried chicken, mashed potatoes and gravy, cheesy potatoes, homemade rolls and corn bread, smothered meat balls, ham, green beans and carrots and a full salad bar along with homemade desserts. Soooo worth the trip. Everyone was super nice and working hard.

The Pioneer Restaurant offers a delightful dining experience with its Fried Chicken buffet, well-seasoned sides, and a salad bar featuring fresh deli salads and traditional green fixings. The skillet baked cornbread, ham and beans soup, and the indulgent carrot cake are standout menu items. The food is delicious and well-seasoned, with many customers praising the Fried Chicken for its crispy outside and juicy inside. The restaurant also features great green beans, which are noted as some of the best. While the service is generally friendly and observant, some experiences have highlighted instances of rudeness from staff members. The reasonable price of $12.99 makes it a great value. The restaurant is family-friendly, with ample parking and a welcoming atmosphere for both adults and children. Overall, it is an excellent place with great food and service in a clean environment.
