Finish Line Cafe — Restaurant in Missouri

How many positive adjectives can be included in one post? My family and I have been going to this place since it was called Linda's and tonight was reminiscent of the deliciousness from 25 years ago. Is it a new crew? An awesome cook hustling in the back or the familiar face who is the granddaughter of the original owner from years ago, but it was fantastic! Hubs ordered a plate of comfort food: Chicken Fried Steak and mashed potatoes smothered with creamy white gravy. He also ordered an app of Hot Wings. I had a signature BLT and an order of fried mushrooms. Folks if you are reading this to see if you should try out this roadside Cafe, the answer is YES. Breakfast served all dadgum day!! Homemade 🥧 pies. Not just one to choose from but if you're there early enough (before they sell out) there are easily 10 choices of baked delights to choose from. The food is hot, fresh and a lot of it. Come here hungry. As the weather breaks sit outside on their huge patio and...

I have given this restaurant a million chances to redeem themselves from the poor service they continue to present. The waitresses are phenomenal, but the business is run poorly. There is absolutely no quality control when it comes to the kitchen. I know the waitresses try their best to check the food as it goes out, especially on call in orders.

Today I got lunch, the fries had other fried foods mixed in, cant tell what it was. But it appears they have not cleaned the fryer in some time. The burger was gross, especially with the onion. I ordered grilled onions on it and they came raw.

Not only were the onions raw, I got 2 ends. Not...

Our family came here for dinner and I thought it would be warm enough for us to sit outside to eat. Well my husband George he has Dementia and it was nice out. We ordered and George was getting cold unfortunately we didn't bring him a jacket. Our waitress came out and I asked if she had anything to cover him with and the cook gave him his coat. Our food came out and everything was delicious. George not ate all his dinner. The waitress and cook were awesome. Finish line is a small country diner and we go there a lot. Clean, friendly and a great staff. They went over and above what they did for my husband. Country Life. The food was really good. When you are in the Lonedell are stop in and check it out. We all carry a jacket in our vehicles now. Thank you...
