Lisa's Grill

Traveling from CA to MO. Needed to feed the fam and looked up reviews. Not bad! So we stopped. Super sweet staff! Food was homestyle kitchen! "Hot Mama" burger is hot! Good stuff! Chunky Chicken is a great little Sammie! Big Boy Burger is ginormous. Pickle fries! Yes please! This is a gem! Everything was great. Except for the restrooms that I am sure belong to the gas station. They literally smell like sewage.

This was the best TexMex food we've ever had. Everything had so much authentic homemade flavor. I really loved the refried beans, I could have gotten a to go container just of that. The shredded chicken enchiladas were savory and I liked the flavor of the corn tortillas. The chicken taco was crispy and fresh. The chili relleno was perfectly cooked to perfection with a nice relleno sauce on top with peppers and spices in it. The salsa was perfect and completely homemade, it actually had good spice to it which is so hard to find. Even the chips were seasoned, I've never seen this and I loved it. Every time we drive through we're going to make a point to stop here. The restaurant dining area is very nice with indoor and outdoor seating. Plenty of semi truck parking and even 2 showers that are available.

When I pulled into the parking lot, I was worried. This is a little diner inside a truck stop and we weren't sure where to park. However, when we got inside it had a nice, country vibe. The cafe side is very clean, but be warned that the bathrooms are quite dirty with one of the sinks showing a lot of water damage. Still, the cafe side looked good so we went ahead and ate there. Wow, that burger!! It was SO GOOD!! It was juicy and well seasoned with very good onion rings! The service was fast and efficient. We will definitely be back!!

Went in this evening, the sign on the front door said they close at 10. Went inside and was told they closed at 9pm. Asked for a manager, no manager on duty. In my opinion they just don't want to work. I used to enjoy coming here,food was good. After tonight's experience, doubt I will be back. I had walked in the door at 9:25 pm

Always love coming here. I prefer the green sauce over the red just for the flavor. But their homemade salsa is the best of all of them.
