Bluff Dwellers Cave
Tourist attraction
👍👍 Well worth it! We had the legendary Boone as our tour guide and we could tell he loves this cave! We learned a lot and he answered all of the questions our 5 year old had. We’ve been to many caves around the US, but only one has Boone! Take the trip, spend the time, enjoy this cave!! 1,000% recommen...

Tall Pines Moonshine Distillery - Missouri
Distillery
👍👍 The owners, Joe and Tara, are some of the best people you will ever meet. They run a top notch distillery and they give you tips on good cocktail recipes. Never would have thought to put their banana foster in a shake! Mind blown! You have to stop in for a taste test!

Bubbas Bbq
Barbecue restaurant
👍👍 Always good and Price point is better then most BBQ places. The bombs are a very original item and definitely worth a try. The staff is always pretty helpful and nice. You can sometimes expect a wait depending on the day.

Two Sons Floats & Camping
Campground
👍👍 Only place we will ever go. So clean and the staff really make things easy. We tried Elk floats but the camp ground was disgusting & bathrooms repulsive. We quickly called Two sons and moved to their camp ground. They were so kind and helpful. Showers & bathrooms were perfect.

Shady Beach Campground
Campground
😠 We stayed at Shady Beach for Labor Day weekend. Although I hate to leave negative reviews, I must say we will not return. On Sunday, we spent time at the beach hoping to relax. It was anything but relaxing. We couldn’t visit with one another for the Latin music blaring from the taco stand. On top of...

Tammy's Cafe

👍 Would I return? Yes
Have I been here before? Yes
The café/diner is quite unassuming, but each time I have visited for lunch or *breakfast, our group is warmly greeted!

Sidewinders
American restaurant
👍👍 Clean. Friendly staff. The waitress, Stephanie?... I think that was her name was great. She never let us run out of anything and was always checking on us. The food was great home cooking type food. Apparently this place had changed owners over the last 6 months. I can't tell you how it was before a...

Rosita's Mexican Restaurant
Mexican restaurant
😠 If I could give this place a zero I would!!! $30 for 2 chicken burritos and fajita nachos and this is the garbage I receive. The chicken burrito was the thinnest, driest, most disgusting excuse for edible food I’ve ever seen besides theses “fajita” nachos. Literally 10 chips with microwaved cheese o...

👍👍 What.. An... Experience! First time visitor and I could not have more pleased. We brought our 4Runner and Tacoma down (mostly stock, few mods) and had a blast rocking the trails and creek beds. Loved 'Area 51' gravel dunes and water pits. Beautiful topography, lots of water features and challen...

Big Sugar Creek State Park
State park
👍👍 I thoroughly enjoyed the hiking available at Big Sugar Creek! Took the eastern half of the loop and the shortcut back along the ridge-top on a clear day in March, and the scenery was lovely. Woods with thin undergrowth that has been managed by fire, rolling hills, interesting rock outcroppings, wild...
