We stopped here because it had good reviews and it did not disappoint. It is a bit hard to find as it is located inside the convenience store at the back with limited signage outside. It is a truck stop restaurant. Also note that this is a dry county so there is no beer or bar. The food was great and the staff were very friendly and accommodating.

Valentine's Day dinner, saw them, and figured we would give them a try. Being in an 18-wheeler, it was nice to find somewhere different that we could get out, stretch, and have a nice fresh home cooked style meal. Doesn't look like much but wow was it well worth every bit. Excellent food, great atmosphere, friendly and helpful waitresses. Located inside the Phillips 66. Would definitely stop by again. Very reasonable prices, and large portions.

OMG is my favorite stop between Joplin and Little Rock. It's a Workman's gas station up front and OMG is in the back. They have a deli case up front and you can get most of the menu right there. I go for one thing and that is their Cajun catfish. A 3 peice with slaw and the biggest potato wedges in the world for less than a McDonald's Big Mac meal. Right off the Rudy exit before hitting I-40 heading south. Big Rigs welcome and parking to accommodate. Stop on in at the Ozark Mountain Grill!

We split a great meal here. Pork chops, baked potato, and green beans. There were a few other options that were gluten free enough for me. The friendly waitress seemed a little overwhelmed by the onslaught of customers. Nice people!
