Great little cafe. In Springfield for a wedding and was looking for a local place for dinner. The reviews were great so my wife and I gave it a try. Excellent service. Arrived about 6pm and a couple tables left. It was busy which was a great sign. My wife had the patty melt and she was very happy with her choice. Sorry, couldn't get a pic of of the full melt as she couldn't wait. I had the four piece fried chicken dinner. All came out fresh and piping hot. Delicious. Great menu as well as a ton of homemade pie options. Will definitely go here again when back in town. The prices are very very affordable and the service is excellent. Highly recommend!!

Eating lunch at Rosie Jo's in Ozark was an absolutely wonderful experience. I had heard great things about their fried chicken and drove from Springfield just to try it. Our waitress was very friendly and remarked that the owner, Rosie Jo was the former restaurant manager at Riverside Inn where I worked one summer many years ago. Our waitress asked Rosie Jo to come out to meet me and my family and we chatted for 10 minutes. She said that her version of fried chicken surpasses the legendary chicken at Riverside Inn because of small changes in seasoning but most importantly Rosie Jo cooks her fried chicken to order so it comes out piping hot. When food is cooked to order it takes longer but our weight was well worth it. The four piece fried chicken lunch was delicious and incredibly hot! The meal came with two side dishes, toast and a side of ice cream. I recommended that Rosie Jo raise her prices because of inflation but she said that she was very reluctant to raise prices because so many people count on her restaurant for affordable meals and several diners come there for both lunch and dinner! Once again this was a fantastic stop and I highly recommend Rosie Jo's!

Best local restaurant for home cooked meals. My parents always request a meal here whenever they visit from out of town. Dad ordered the all you can eat catfish. I got the chicken livers and hubby ordered a cheeseburger. Everything came out hot and cooked fresh. And don’t leave without getting dessert! Lots of great options!! Our waitress was the best! Came away from supper with a new friend 😊

Rosie Jo’s Got me right in the childhood today. It’s been a while since I’ve been here. They used to be located next to the old Ozark Mill in a small shopping center. I forgot how personal the service is. The home made favorites (Onion Rings!) and how I feel like I’m at a Family friends for Sunday lunch. Best Service I’ve had, EVER!! Sarah, our Waitress just had a warmness about her. She took our order and the order behind us, didn’t write a thing down and got it all correct. To top it off… you get a little Ice Cream treat after your entree. All of the Staff greet you with that same friendly smile. Just a great place to be in the Ozarks.

Delicious Meals and friendly service. The lemon merange pie is amazing! Had the Chicken Strips and they were huge and delicious. Homemade fries and ranch dressings. Will go again and again.

Be prepared to wait if they are busy! Onion rings are totally worth the wait!!! We enjoy eating here when we are in the area! The fried pickles are delicious too. Grilled chicken sandwich was DRY…

Food was delicious, well presented. We modified the dish a little to accommodate our Gluten free needs. The server and kitchen did not flinch, our order arrived exactly as requested.

Went there for breakfast very good atmosphere friendly staff. My only real complaint was is that there wasn’t much seasoning on the food had to salt and pepper pretty much everything. But the biscuits tasted homemade and the gravy and the pancake was amazing and huge for four bucks. We’ll definitely be back.

Our server's name is Rita. The music plays gently in the background and is not over powering. There's no TV in here which is something that seems harder to find nowadays. Our food took about 20-30 minutes and arrived HOT! Except my triple stacks sandwich. The chicken tenders were HUGE!!! The salad seemed like a side salad. The chili cheese fries were soft and the chili had beans in it. But it all tasted pretty good. While the food was great, nobody really seemed happy. But they're honest and down to earth it seems. They also say it'll take over 40 minutes if you order the fried chicken. Can't tell if that includes the chicken tenders which also appear fried. Idk what that's about. The portions all seem well worth the value. Except maybe the shrimp, because Rita also doesn't think it's worth the money.

We have visited many times. Came on a busy Sunday at 1230 pm . Place was packed . We got a seat fast. Drinks and friendly service fast. Food did take around 45 mins. But was understandable. We also had apps of onion rings and fried mushrooms and pickles . Onions are hot, crispy crunchy flavorful. Love the fried pickles. Mushrooms were just Meh no flavor. But that’s just my opinion. The CHICKEN FRIED STEAK AND FISH, chicken tenders all good hot and cooked to perfection. Meatloaf and Burger was a lil dry . And as always the fresh fries are on point I highly recommend this place.

Food good. Needs cleaning. Bathrooms dirty. Friendly people. Bathrooms sneaks. Tables and chairs old.​

Cafe has gone down hill in the last year. tables are dirty, staff is unfriendly and wait is long. Food is usually as good as usually.

Delicious food with casual diner atmosphere. Only reduced the star rating due to it being very slow to get food but I will say if you’re not in a hurry it is definitely worth the wait.

Food was hot. We didn't have to wait long. Portions were generous. Sadly even though our waitress said she would get my husband more coffee she never did. She got coffee for customers sitting behind us & in front of us, so we don't understand why when passing by our table at least 4 times she never gave him a refill. I usually try to be understanding when staff are busy but they weren't very busy since it was after 9 on a weekday. The waitress did ask if I needed a to go box but didn't bring it; so I had to get it my self.

Daniel Dowdall

Nice little diner, the kind we like to seek out. Something different. Food was good, onion rings were great. Only drawback was wait staff did not check on table throughout, no eye contact when walking by. Us snd 2 other tables had to wave down someone to refill drinks, bring extra napkins and had to ask for check and where we should pay at. Friendly enough, just need to check in once food is put on table please.

This is the 4th time I have been here. And after our visit today, sadly we will not be back. If it was one or two issues, we could overlook them, but it was so that and a health and safety concern. I do understand it is the holidays and they are busy. So service suffered. Not very friendly staff from any of the staff we encountered. We had to wait a while to get service at our table. We went to get our own menus due to no service. We will survive. Service unimpressive. Eggs came out hard for basted medium. Never asked how food was. We will survive. My husband watched a man sitting at a table at the end of the restaurant for probably half an hour during our time there. A staff member came to that table to wrap silverware. They were touching the eating end of the silverware. Hopefully they washed their hands. Then the man who had been sitting at the table for a while and had not been up to wash his hands started helping with the silverware. Very unsanitary practices and just gross. Hopefully they will get better health and safety practices lines up. Touching silverware and napkins with unwashed hands is not acceptable. This person was in my husband’s view from the table for our duration of the visit.

Sunday lunch; about an hour to get our order. Meatloaf, mashed potatoes w/ brown gravy and green beans. Big portions, beans sorta bland...I salted them. Should have some Italian dressing, would have been better. Great food...slow service; under staffed. We were traveling.

Sadly, I think we may have been forgotten. We had our order taken about 10 mins after being seated. We ordered a club sandwich with french fries and a taco salad. It took approximately 45mins to get a server to see check on our order after flagging her down and asking her about it. She was not our original server, but was passing by and was very helpful after we spoke to her. She went into the kitchen and came out with our food within 1 minute. As she set our taco salad and club sandwich on our table, she stated that they were still waiting on our fries. Within another 5 minutes, the same server, that was helpful, came back out with my fries. Unfortunately they hadn't been cooked long enough and were "floppy", we didn't eat them. We were never offered drink refills, either. The salad and sandwich were delicious, aside from the service. This place seemed like a local favorite, not sure we will be back.

This cafe, located in a strip mall, is an odd one. Upon entry, we noticed several dirty tables and had trouble finding a clean place to sit. The waitress approached us several minutes later, and was short, wanting us to immediately order. Because we’d never been there and hadn’t had time to look over the menu, we obviously felt rushed. I guess that it was good that she showed up then, because she never really returned. At one point, I saw an older man enter the kitchen area, and I heard a waitress ask him where he was sitting. She told him to go sit down and she would bring him some pie. Later, we observed the same man busing a table for two older ladies. From what we could see, he was a customer and not even an employee there. I saw him return the rag that he used to the waitress station. That, obviously, struck us as odd. The food was okay, boxed potatoes and canned gravy was what it was. I had to wait over 15 minutes with a full plate of food sitting in the middle of the table before the waitress approached us again to ask if I wanted a to go box. She begrudgingly asked us if we wanted the ice cream, which is included with entrées. She never told us that we needed to pay in the front, and never brought us a ticket. After waiting so long for service, I just walked up to the register and told them the table number, and was promptly rang up. If this is the norm there, I feel like the waitress could have said something. I used the women’s restroom, which has a distressed floor. However, on top of that floor, there was a Band-Aid stuck to it. I have no idea if it appeared there that day or had been there for months. It just seemed filthy. All in all, the place does not inspire confidence, regarding its lack of cleanliness. I would not return here again.

I just called to confirm my pie order for pick up and they lost my order. She said it happened to about 4 other customers today and they must have lost the order sheet. Merry Christmas. Won't be or…
