Restaurants in West Plains

“We stopped in Friday evening late (like 45 minutes before closing) hoping we might still get dinner. We had never dined at the Fish Shack but we had some serious cravings for catfish and shrimp. There was a fair crowd already enjoying their meals. The Hostess assured us that we were by no means too late. "Come on in and relax and let us know when you are ready to order". She was so sweet and efficient. I am so glad we decided to risk it.I ordered the large catfish dinner, after being warned I may not be able to eat it all. It was the best catfish I have had outside my home state of Louisiana! Cooked and seasoned to perfection. My wife and her sister had the popcorn and butterflied shrimp, again very large portions. They asked for to go boxes right away. Silly girls – no boxes needed. They finished off those shrimp in style. Ok, I helped a bit. The sides; coleslaw, sweet potato fries, baked potato and side salad were great too. Our Hostess was not only sweet she was FAST – out of 5-6 refills on my soft drink I don’t think an empty glass ever hit the table before the next one was there beside it. Before we left, I had the chance to meet the owner Stacy, he was sitting at one of the tables talking to guests. I let him know that his restaurant was like walking into mom’s kitchen, so friendly, inviting and the best food around.So good that we went back for lunch Saturday – my turn on those butterfly shrimp. My wife ordered a cheeseburger and was amazed that they were able to keep the patty juicy without any pink showing (a deal breaker for her).Without hesitation we know where to go for seafood and burgers!!!”

“Best Pizza I’ve had in years and I have lived and worked in Italy for almost a decade. I rate this a 7.9 on the Portnoy pizza reviews scale. That’s a travel score in my book. Outstanding customer service and a wonderful atmosphere. Well done folks.”

“This place is always busy. Which at time can cause the service to lack. Not a deal breaker though. I would go here all the time. Good food, good drinks, and friendly service.”

“Best presentation of a biscuit and gravy with sausage, egg and cheeze I've ever witnessed. Amazing food from these lovely ladies. Building could use a redo but who cares when your belly is full.”

“Best brickoven pizza around. Great new owners and very friendly staff. Oh yeah, the beers are awesome. Many varieties all with expert brew meister perfection. They even brew their own root beer and lemonade. I ordered an everything on it pizza and it was absolutely perfect. Served with fresh popped popcorn and a 5 sample tray of beers.Vegetarian options: Don't like meat, plenty of veggie are available to please any pizza lover.”

“It was amazing I felt like family, service was on point , food was served in a timely manner from when ordered and threw out the meal any time my drink was low without having to stop my story and ask it was already being refilled. I would recommend this place to everyone get there and you won't be disappointed.”

“We went on a late date and showed up at 9pm, 30m before closing, which I normally dont do. So I asked staff it would be okay to order this late. They were very cool about it and said come on in and served us. I really wish this place had beer because the food was great and it would have been nice to have a bottle of suds with it. Other than that...The food was prepared quickly and tasted amazing. When we got the bill I was surprised at how cheap it was, $31... Which was perfect because it doesn't seem like you get to have a sit down meal for two, nowadays, for less than $50. I think it's safe to say I found my new "go to" spot. Definitely check this place out!”

“Fantastic service with great atmosphere! Typical bar food with anything but typical beverages! If you are looking for great place to visit with friends or gather in large groups this is the place. There is an awesome outdoor seating area and great ambiance inside.”

“Is the pizza good, you ask? Let the pictures of this BBQ Smokehouse Special do all the talking!Locally owned, small town hospitality, made by an owner who cares about his community.Forget the nationally owned chain pizza places!”

“While in West Plains this weekend we stopped in here, it was hard to find bcuz there was no sign but we found it and the food was great! Im not sure why it's called a piano bar as I didn't see a piano but we were seated in the bar area. We had the new York strip it was perfect, but the drinks were were it's at. I had the blackberry bourbon smoked old fashion?? I think, and it was excellent! My husband had the Irish smoked old fashion, ( I don't know why all the signature drinks are named the same or why they are all smoked but i liked it! ) I don't know the waiter who served us, he didn't introduce himself but I wish he had because the drinks he made us were even better than the first ones. If you get a chance to stop in here do it! You won't be dissapointed. The only thing that wasn't perfect was the app. But to be fair the manager warned me before I ordered it, and it was good just could have been better if it was made to order instead of made ahead of time. Everything else made up for it. It's a little higher in price for this tiny town but well worth the money. The service was good and they were fairly quick and the food was good but again their signature drinks were the best part of it all.Parking: Parking was a bit limited because it's on court square but if you don't mind walking a short ways there's parking down the side of the street as well and parking is free.”

“Food and services really good if I have a question or if I want a substitution they always work with me the atmosphere is just beautiful. We enjoy going there because of that and the people working there are very nice. You'll enjoy your stay,Kid-friendliness: YesWheelchair accessibility: Yes”

“Love the choice of food. Everything is made with fresh ingredients, amd the meals are great substitutes to some of my comfort food cravings. Great staff and overall great experience.”

“Well, it was not a bad place, but if you are on a lunch break, probably go to another place because it took a while for one sub, but good place. Workers are very friendly and very patient, but they could be a little faster on the food. ??”

“Stopped in 3/16/24 for lunch... Had the B&G breakfast combo comes with 2 biscuits 2 bacon 2 sausage hashbrowns for 11 dollars so decent price and very nice portions...”

“Love Colton’s West Plains! The food is always terrific, the service often exceeds expectations, and it’s always nice and clean (including the ladies’ room). And if you ever get a chance to meet Cari, she is a total doll!”
