Nixa Livestock Cafe

This restaurant was a bit tricky to locate, but it was definitely worth the search! To get there, turn onto W. Tracker Rd. and enter the parking lot of Elite Storage Centers. The cornbread was delightfully soft and moist, the roast beef was cooked to perfection with great flavor, the coleslaw struck the ideal balance between sweet and tangy, and the fries were just right. My partner ordered the chicken fried steak meal with mashed potatoes and brown beans. He chose white gravy for his chicken fried steak, but it contained sausage, which he didn't particularly enjoy (he likes both, just not together), and the mashed potatoes were slightly dry. However, he still preferred this meal over Lambert's, which speaks volumes! For dessert, I had the blackberry cobbler with vanilla ice cream, and it was absolutely delicious—great flavor and perfect texture. Our waitress was fantastic: super friendly, attentive, and really knowledgeable about the menu. The only reasons I considered not giving it 5 stars were the gravy and mashed potatoes. Overall, it was an amazing experience and the place was bustling with happy customers. Highly recommended!

The food was good, but the gravy could use a bit more sausage and spices. I was a bit confused about my bill; my order before tax was $15, but it ended up being $19.08 for a large order of biscuits and gravy, two sides of hash browns, a side of bacon, and a side of sausage.

This is a fantastic restaurant! It's a warm and inviting spot with a friendly atmosphere. You can sit wherever there are open chairs, which adds to the charm. The food is excellent, and the service is outstanding. I'm really pleased I chose to go there with my friends.

The prices are low, but you get what you pay for. The place was packed and we had to share a table. Awkward! The service took forever and when we got out food, it was cold and my pancake was very burnt, yet that's how they served it! The waitress never stopped to consider they were serving a burnt pancake as if it was normal. It was just as terrible as it looked. A few bites in and I had enough. The food is cheap, but low quality and nothing special. We'd never go back.

Service was great! Friendly atmosphere and the food was exactly as I hoped. Great place to grab some real food home cooked and great conversation.
