The Owl Shoppe

Old town/small town feel to the place. It was a open style room that was long and narrow. The restaurant has art displayed throughout. I ordered the stuffed sweet potato as an appetizer, raspberry lemonade to drink (you get 1 free refill so said the menu but even though I was empty it wasn't offered so it might be a must request item) and the half order of the southwestern vegan quesadilla. The place wasn't busy when I walked in but started to get a little busier as time went by. My waitress seemed to get distracted easily and ignored me for a while and after I started not removing my eye contact from her she finally realized that I had been ready to order for a while. After that her and the other waitress started taking turns to make sure everyone was being taken care of and no more stare

I went in looking for a Vegan meal and I am glad I did. The wellness bowls can be made vegan . I misunderstood the menu and thought the burrito bowl was a burrito. They were so nice and actually accommodated my request to make it a wrap because I was sort of attached to the idea. The wrap was served cold with some lovely hand cut tortilla chips. The salsa was very flavorful. There was corn, black beans, white beans, spinach, olives and chimichurri. I was comfortably full, and very satisfied. I'm attaching the menu here.

We stopped by passing through town and this place was recommended and now I know why! Noon on a Saturday they had live music! Their food was phenomenal! We had the ave ado bruschetta starter, steak sandwich, robin egg sandwich, club, a side salad and spicy cheddar soup! Unfortunately the portions were so large we couldn't try dessert. But I'm sure it would have been just as delicious. Our service was spot on.

I’m giving 5 stars only because I’m not allowed to give The Owl Shoppe SIX stars! Traveling through, we’re glad we found this place, and am sorry we don’t live here so we can try more of the menu. Don’t be fooled by the simple storefront on the outside. Inside, you will find cleanliness, hospitably wonderful service, and AMAZING food! The quality of food and portions make the price extremely reasonable. The Italian roast sandwich special was one of the best I’ve had in years, the Jalapeño chowder was straight out of a Michelin five star! The Southwest vegan quesadilla, combined with FRESH, homemade salsa, and salad were incomparable. Don’t miss this spot!

To summarize: it's lacking a little. I ordered the Grilled Cheese Supreme, and I must say it's probably the best grilled cheese I've had in my entire life. My problem is not with this incredible sandwich, of course, but with the other aspects of the place. The sandwiches are made with Walmart Great Value bread (or Ozark Heath). The chips served with it (if you choose this as your side) are Walmart Great Value potato chips - there are no flavors to choose from, either. I ordered a Dr. Pepper and was given an empty glass of ice and a bottled Dr. Pepper, presumably also bought from Walmart. If it had just been poured in before delivering the glass to me, I probably would never have known - but it feels like a slap in the face to order a drink at 2.99 and have it brought to your table in a pl
