"The Biased Local's"
Dining and Entertainment Guide to
McDonald County, Missouri

Where to find the good eats n' drinks hidden in the hills...

Unlike "professional food critics" I won't pretend that I'm totally unbiased in my reviews. But I try to be fair!

To make this easier for visitors to our lovely county, establishments are grouped by AREA of the county, so you can find what's available near your campground or hotel.

CENTRAL McDONALD COUNTY AREA: (Includes Anderson and Pineville)
EASTERN McDONALD COUNTY AREA: (Includes Longview, Powell, and Rocky Comfort)
NOEL AREA: (Includes Noel, Lanagan, and Ginger Blue)
NORTHERN McDONALD COUNTY AREA: (Includes Goodman)
SOUTHERN McDONALD COUNTY AREA: (Includes Jane, Caverna/"State Line" area)
WESTERN McDONALD COUNTY AREA: (Includes Southwest City and Tiff City)
NEARBY McDONALD COUNTY AREA: (Places a bit outside the county line, but still worth mentioning.)

The hours listed for each location change most every season, and with the whims of the owners, so I highly recommend that you call ahead and check to make sure before you go out of your way to a particular place. Also, businesses naturally come and go, so there is always a chance that this list is out of date, even if it was updated recently...

LAST UPDATE:

Review: A beautiful view of the old Havenhurst dam on Little Sugar Creek at this "Casual fine dining" establishment. A rather limited menu compared to most places. Not much of a choice of veggies, and the salad is filled with fancy types of leafy greens that not everyone enjoys... (I wish they offered plain ol' iceberg as an option!) I will caution readers that some of the seafood sauces are definately for "experienced and rarefied palates." However, the steaks are just excellent. Prices are comparably upscale, but then again so is the food, so it isn't out of line ($10-$20 range for dinner, lunch sandwiches about half that.) Delicious Crème brûlée.
The closest thing our county has to fine dining anymore... Good place to impress a date.
They now have a separate bar area next door, if you're more interested in just having a drink or three instead of a meal.

Tourist Friendliness:	Good
Smoking:	Non-Smoking - No seating available - Take Out Only.
Review: Hunt Brothers's Pizza is found in many convenience stores all over the place. The pizza is good and fairly priced. You can order a full pizza, or there is usually pizza by-the-slice available. If you want pizza in Pineville, this is it! (Note that the Country Market is a small grocery store, so there are just about all kinds of snacks and drinks available. This is a good place to stock up for your campout...)

Area:	CENTRAL - Anderson
Business name:	Los Mariachis

Review: "Fairly authentic" & Tex-Mexican food, adjusted somewhat for American tastes. A huge menu to select from, and the food is pretty good. Most all dishes are not spicy-hot at all, if that's what you like. Delicious salsa & chips are complimentary. Now serving beer (including Mexican import favorites such as Dos Equis). Fridays and Saturdays $1 beer with your meal (limit 3/person).

Area:	CENTRAL - Anderson
Business name:	MaryDean's Family Restaurant

Telephone:	417-845-7475
Tourist Friendliness:	Very Good
Smoking:	Smokers welcome. Non-smoking section in back.
Review: Mary Dean's is a classic country "greasy spoon" - you'll find some very tasty food, just don't expect fine dining & linens... But the service is friendly. (I recommend the breakfast omelettes, though I'm still not fond of the gravy and so I choose toast here instead.) CASH ONLY - They do not accept Credit or Debit cards.

Area:	CENTRAL - Anderson area

Hours Open [read this!]	Lunch & Dinner

Smoking:	Smoking permitted at outside patio area. Non-Smoking Inside.
Review: Pizza, Pasta, Appetizers, Limited Lunch buffet (no salad bar, few choices). There's also the outdoor patio with plenty of seating and a nice view of the Indian Creek valley. (Not well managed I'm sad to say. Check to make sure they got your order right before you leave with it, the young kids working there don't seem to care much and they don't seem to be well supervised either. Unfortunately - and I am sad to say this - when I want GREAT Mazzio's Pizza, I drive all the way to the one in Neosho.)

Review: I can't say enough good things about this wonderful brewery. (Mostly because I sometimes work for them, so I'm obviously biased!) But still, check their Facebook reviews if you don't trust mine... They really are the friendliest brewery you're ever likely to find... There's 16 TAPS of their own various brews - a huge selection for a brewery of this size... And the beer is really outstandingly good. The brewmisstress is a two-time winner of the U.S. Beer Open Championship, and she specializes in making even gluten free beers taste amazing! All the "Dark Hills Brewery" labeled taps are gluten free, so if you're gluten intolerant you'll know exactly which ones are safe to sample. Typical bar food available on weekends, free popcorn and bar snacks available all the time. A personal favorite!

Review: Haven't visited since the latest ownership and name change in spring of 2019, will post a review after I visit. Note: Was previously The Lodge Cafe, Cafe 59, The Cedar Crest Cafe, and other names. I don't know why they've changed hands so many times, the food is usually very good with each change of management. It was the old "Dari Lane" carryout for several decades pre-2000.

Area:	NOEL - North Noel

Type:	Restaurant
Location:	Jct. Missouri Hwy. 90 west and Hwy. "TT", across from the Golf Course.
Hours Open [read this!]	Lunch & Dinner
Telephone:	417-475-3742
Tourist Friendliness:	Very Good
Smoking:	Smokers welcome. Non-Smoking room is also available.
Review: For years Cotton-Eyed Joe's has been considered Noel's finest restaurant, and perhaps the best in the entire county. The BBQ is excellent, and all the home-style sides are prepared right. There is occasionally a buffet available with a great selection of meats, sides, and desserts; and if this is your first visit I'd recommend it so you can sample all they have to offer. The place is nicely decorated, with a comfy country atmosphere. Very family-friendly, and tourists are welcome too. Also a favorite for entertaining business clients with our "country charm" and for business lunch meetings (a large room is available). A personal favorite.

Review: Authentic Mexican food and the prices are very reasonable. The authentic tacos are excellent! Best El Pastor Tacos in the area. Topped with onions and cilantro - and a lime wedge to squeeze over it all to bring out the flavor... Mmmmmmmmmmmm Good! If you've never had these, give them a try... Even though they're very different from what we've become used to as Americanized "tacos." (Like your food spicy? Try the red or green sauce they supply with most orders!) Now serving complementary chips and delicious salsa. Most days only the owner is running the front of the resturant, so if you need something during your meal don't be shy about going up to the counter and ringing the bell for service. CASH ONLY. A personal favorite.

Review: (Guest review by Kristina Hartley from Jay, OK - June 2008) "If you like a cold beer, and a great burger or the best steak in the three State area, prepared by Charlie, then the Red Barn is the place for you. This establishment is Very Biker Friendly, a great place to relax, and get a good laugh. The local patrons are friendly, funny, decent folk, always ready to give a hand. You will not find a better place to take a break on your bike, or car, get a bite, laugh, and make friends for life than the Red Barn, in Noel Mo."

Area:	NOEL - Main Street Noel
Business name:	Shadow Lake
Type:	Club - Beer & Liquor Served
Location:	The west end of Main Street, at the Butler Creek bridge & the bluffs.
Hours Open [read this!]	Open Friday and Saturday nights during the season (Roughly from Memorial Day weekend to Labor Day weekend.) Special "Teen Night" on Thursdays (See below*)
Telephone:
Tourist Friendliness:	Good - (18+ to Enter - 21+ to drink beer/alcohol) except Thursdays*
Smoking:	Yes - (it is an open-air pavilion so the smoke doesn't build up.)*
Review: Shadow Lake is a Noel tradition going back about 75 years. It has changed many times over, from an old-fashioned resort to the night-club hot-spot is is today. Shadow Lake is one of the biggest party spots in the 4-State area, and is something of a "meat market" for youngish, drunken campers to mingle and dance with youngish, drunken visitors from all over the area. If you are looking for "the wild party place" you've heard of in Noel, this is it. *Note about "Teen Night" - on Thursdays during the season, Shadow Lake is open as a dance club to TEENS ONLY. No alcoholic beverages are served that night (obviously), there's no smoking, and adults are not admitted.

Review: Never mind all the "You might be a Redneck if..." jokes scratched on the wall in Sharpie marker, 'cause you'll find the Redneck Restaurant is one of the best places to eat in the county. It is not a fancy place by any means... Sometimes they have a buffet with lots of good southern-style choices, such as: Fried Chicken, Pork Chops in gravy, Fried Catfish, and more, with all the salad and sides you'll need. The quality of the food is exceptional, and the desserts are truly wonderful. (Best Banana Puddin' in the county!) There is usually a selection of Sugar-Free desserts too, for those that need 'em. And even though most of the patrons are local, you'll find the service friendly no matter who you are. Even Yankees are tolerated if they keep their traps shut and don't try to tell anyone "how they do it up nawth!" *Not open every day, and not open for dinner some days. Call ahead! Recommended. Bring your sense of humour!

Review: Best spare ribs I've had in years. It was my mother's favorite BBQ, bar none. (That's a big compliment!) Deliciously smoked and literally falling-off-the-bone moist. Brisket, pork, and chicken plates and sandwiches; smoked links and turkey legs, and baby back ribs. They also offer catering and custom smoke orders. A personal favorite

Tourist Friendliness:	Very Good - Adults ONLY.
Smoking:	Smokers welcome.
Review: During the day, a mild-mannered sports bar. But in the evening around 7pm, they jump into the telephone booth and transform into... An exotic dance club with very scantily-clad ladies performing for tips. If this is the kind of fun you're looking for, it's the only club of its kind in the county. Full service bar. They also serve bar food (limited menu). Pool tables and a tabletop shuffleboard available. Ladies always welcome anytime... Not "just a gentlemans club." There is a dress code that is enforced: No tank tops, cut-off jeans, do-rags or club patches.

Review: Visitors from Arkansas will recognize this name at first glance... Jim's Razorback Pizza is an Arkansas tradition & favorite for over 30 years. Now they've crossed the border (just barely) into Missouri, bringing the same great pizza, pasta & sandwiches that we've all come to know and crave. There's a big flat screen TV to watch the game on, while you enjoy your pizza. (Or salad & tea, if you prefer - they have a variety of salads including regular, chef, shrimp, and chicken breast salads.) Free Wi-Fi. Limited delivery area (Bella Vista, Arkansas and Jane area south of Hwy,. 90).

Review: Do you long for the nostalgia of the old-fashioned malt shop, but are putt off by the shiny chrome retro-reproductions of malt shops that are commonly found in most tourist-trap areas? Well, stop by the Family Malt Shop & Cafe in SWC for a genuine old malt shop that hasn't changed too much with the times. Disclaimer: It has been a few years since I made it all the way over to the Malt Shop. I'll revisit it and update this review sometime soon.

Last few times I passed by there they were closed for remodeling. Review: Authentic and Tex-Mex style food. I've only ate a couple of times but the food was good.
