Osage Spring — Restaurant in Neosho

Went there on St. Patrick's Day. I seen they were opened till 2am and had stopped in to grab a bite to eat and a drink. Arrived around 10:30pm and the downstairs area was a ghost town. No one there and no signs. This was my first time going there. Heard people up stairs so went up there. There were 11 people, sat down at bar and waited approximately 15 minutes for bartender to arrive. She took about 3 minutes to greet me and finally got me a drink at 10:51. I paid her and was supposed to receive 75 cents in change. Never received the change back from her. Then after setting it down did last calls. I thought this was strange. Asked if kitchen was open She said it closed at 10pm. She finished serving this one group of people their "last calls" drinks and asked if I could get one more before she closed out. She said she had already cashed her drawer out. She was nice but it was apparent that she wanted to go home. I dont blame her the atmosphere was depressing. I have had better vibes from a cheap hotel bar in the middle of no where. There was a worker, it was obvious he worked in kitchen, came up and sat down at bar. I asked him what time they close on Saturdays and he said "I'm not sure what time they close up here but she (bartender) already did last calls."....I appreciated the kind information from Captain obvious. Was finishing my drink when another patron was standing near the bar and the gentleman began sobbing. Remember the depressing atmosphere, I mentioned a brief moment ago? Me and another gentleman at the bar looked at each other as it was very awkward. I finished my drink and got the heck...

We started visiting Osage originally because it was right by our house and it has quickly turned into our favorite place to visit to enjoy a meal, a drink, or just see the employees! Ron, Mike & Brad are who usually help us out and go out of their way to talk about our day and what we have been up to! Anyone you encounter in Osage has the heart to be there and you can really tell! The food is absolutely mouth watering and if you follow their Facebook page you will see their daily deals on food and drinks - their management does a fantastic job creating a community environment that all can enjoy! There is an upstairs and downstairs- both with restrooms and bars, you can even order food upstairs and have it brought to you there! Upstairs IS a smoker friendly atmosphere with pool tables, and a stage for the live music they host and of course the lovely Ms. Cherri hosts karaoke there Thursday nights at 7pm!! She is an absolute hoot who knows how to keep the party alive and full of energy! The employees aren't the only great ones around these parts, their regular customers that visit are some really good people who you will genuinely enjoy hanging out with!!

All in all, we really thought Osage was just going to be an every once in a while visit. But now even out 8 year old will ask to go see his friends Mike and Ron who make him feel so special and at home! Thank you to all of you guys and gals at Osage who truly bring a fantastic place together and make it everything we love! You guys are the best and we will continue to support ❤️

all the love, from the...

I had to think long and hard on this review. I don't lightly give 3 stars as I know this is someone's livelihood, but I also know we work hard for our money and want to be honest. When we first walked in I smelled cigarette smoke, and wondered if they allowed that indoors or if it's a lingering odor? The smell got better as we were in there. We were told to sit where we wanted but the five available tables were all dirty. The waitress told us to sit at one and she'd clean. She proceeded to clean other tables no one was waiting on while we sat and waited for ours to be clean. I noticed the menu from 3 months ago online is already been priced out and entrees are a few more dollars, which is understandable. The menu seemed large enough to have a good variety of food, some things not served til after 5pm. The waitress was nice and took our order of two sandwiches and one appetizer. It literally took 40 minutes to get our food, and they weren't dead but weren't crazy busy. I enjoyed the BLT with lots of thick bacon and good sourdough. My mom's Ruben was puny with very little meat and she said it was dry. The French fries listed on the menu are actually steak fries. Not a huge deal, but I don't care for steak fries and wished they had specified that on the menu. The appetizer cheese sticks were large and gooey in a good way! The waitress never checked on us and we finally had to ask for our check. We waited wanting to pay with our card but she never returned so we left cash. Overall, it wasn't bad but probably enough for us not to return....
