Molly' Mill for breakfast in the morning.
Sullivans Mill for Sugar Cookies and Cin Bread
The Candy Shop for anything freshly made
The BBQ Ribs, BBQ Sandwiches, Roasted Corn on the cob and a couple of skillet dinner then we watch the lost river.
Dinner back at the Condo 1 1/2 inch cut ribeyes grilled medium covered in bleu cheese crumbles and saute mushrooms, twice baked potatoes, fried corn and salad with hot bacon dressing. Sitting on the deck overlooking tablerock with a cold one. What a perfect end to a great day.
Last time I visited Six Flags St. Louis, late '90's, I guess...they had a McDonald's on park that did a thriving business. In fact, we ate there to save some money. So here is my question, should SDC put in some fast food places...NOT ON PARK...but say, in the Ozark Marketplace??? What do you think?
Nope.
The McDonald's is no longer in place at SF StL. It is now a burger place that serves burgers, chicken, and fries.
There IS however a Johnny Rockets, AND a Panda Express in the park though-along with a Cold Stone Creamery (these are all of the name brand places). There is a plethora of other food sources from roasted ears of corn, to turkey legs, and other stuff....
By the way I say no to your question above also
The piece of this question that is most troublesome to many (besides the commercialism) is that most people only would eat there to save a buck. That seems fine at big less-caring types of places, but would feel like I was not spending my money on the good folks of SDC.
Ummmmmm... NO!
#1 Mine..
#2 Mill
#3 Big Jacks
#4 Feud Skillet.
I used to get pizza on the way out at the Hospitality house.
Maybe that's as close as they wanna get with warm food.
They could offer something different in the bakery on the way out.
Think of the sandwiches they could make ( fresh please, no clear plastic boxes in a cold case)
Why would anyone want a McD's at SDC. I thought that is what most liked about the park getting away from the world and going back in time.
Well, McDonald's might not be a terrible thing to put into the exit of SDC, that is if they served food................
Last time I went thru I threw a " burger" out the window in there parking lot.
I am not a food snob but I am also not a fool. That isnt food.
I just don't see the need for SDC to partner with McDonalds. I do think an SDC eatery of some kind that serves supper only would be a nice addition to the OMP. But a chain?...nooooo
Besides, McDonalds wouldn't go for "second billing" at the exit of a park anyway, they would want to be front and center.
Some of the slow OMP shops would be a nice location for an SDC hot food location of some kind. I can't remember the last time I saw anyone in the John Deere or Irish shop (or whatever their official names are).
No way do I want to see any food franchises at the City. Would destroy the theme!

BTW, love me a fried pork fritter sandwich!
Also, love the Mill but has gotten kind of $$$.

There is a lot of waisted space in that ozark marketplace.
But I dont thinkthere is room for a restaurant of any kind.
Unless its like the pizza counter at the Hospitality House
Molly's Mill-Breakfast Buffet
Buckshot Annie's-Family Feud
Hatfield's Tater Patch-Calico Potatoes
Sullivan's Mill-Cinnamon Loaves
My 4 freebies....
I love a good pork rind once and a while (but only 1 before I feel glutonous)
A sample of taffy is great any day of the year
A taste of fresh sorghum during the Crafts/Fall Festival
100+ BBQ sauces during the bluegrass/BBQ festival
My kid's really like the Springhouse. They want to eat there each time we are at the City. I always enjoy the Lumbercamp. It's too bad they don't have a place that combines a meal with some type of show. That could be a lot of fun. I know in the fall you can eat in the Red Gold Hall and watch some entertainment but I was thinking of something a little more cozy.
No chain restaurants !!!!!
I like the Mine's atmosphere, but the food hasn't been that great lately.
The Mill does a good breakfast, though.
Be tough to narrow my favorites down to four. We usually "eat our way through the park" when we go! There's usually something good to find at each place!
