It's hard to beat that. Just to let you guys know, if you fly in to town Lamberts will pick you up from the airport and drive you to the restaurant where you get to cut in front of everyone in line.

Louis and every time i go visit my grandparents in Arkansas I make a stop at Lambert's. Sure it's out of the way and the novelty wears off but it is a fantastic local place to eat. And as Chris said all the stuff hanging from the ceilings makes the throwing somewhat impressive. also it's one of the only place i know that brings you mollasses from a bucket to your table I live just outside ST.

There is not much clearance to work with. Clearly they grab the local baseball players to chuck those things across the room. And let me tell you, they are hot hot hot!

Part of the Lambert's experience is that they walk around with these HUGE bowls of extras and are more than pleased to pile them on your plate. I am talking about fried okra, fried potatoes, etc. And the rolls ain't bad either! I can't wait to go back. Just a hint tho, if it is tourist season, be prepared for a wait just to get in.

It's little things like that that make a small family owned business superior to large corporate chains. The food is the kind of food you would expect, but the atmosphere is what drives the customers in, and from quite a distance.

The food is very good, not great. I couldn't recommend driving hours to go there just to experience, it, but if you were within an hours drive while traveling, I'd recommend it at least once. The Ozark, MO location is under 15 minutes from Springfield, MO and about 20 minutes north of Branson, MO.

And yes, I got pegged by a roll to the head- I use my hands too much when I talk- which was interpreted as a sign- then, whammo! Do yourself a serious favor and go there... but have a cholesterol screening afterward. I used to take tour groups down to the location in Sikeston about once a month… always a highlight of the trip!

Kind of inane, but for the fried okra it is totally worth it.
