A must stop and see, especially if you are traveling through. Clean, amazing food and the coolest museum collection! All home cooked and absolutely delicious and it was awesome to stroll around the museum and stretch your legs.

Hoping for a surprise for breakfast. Lady said she was only serving biscuits. I had no problem with that until I see her fixing full breakfast for the locals.

Hadn't been there in years. It hasn't changed, still has just about everything. We ate at Marlene's, was good and reasonably priced.

Two of us arrived at your restaurant at 3: 08 pm today. The sign on the door said open until 4 pm grill closes at 3: 30. We walked in the door not a very friendly welcoming and never felt welcomed the whole time we were there. More like we were an inconvenience or a bother. A lady asked us if we had called in a to go order & we said no. She then asked if we wanted something to eat we said yes but she proceeded to tell us the grill was closed. There were customers still eating. I mentioned the sign on the door saying the grill closes at 3: 30. All she said was our building closes at 3: 30. We asked if we could at least use the restroom & she said yes. I’ve been in the family owned restaurant business my whole life & felt the owner should be aware of how we felt we were treated in your restaurant today. Very disappointed in the rudeness shown to us.

I had a half pound burger I think they called a Williamsburger, or something similar. It was really good! The service was very good and friendly. The store is interesting and the museum was especially nice. Great place to stop to get away from I-70 for a bit.

A great place to step off the beaten path for great home cooked food and quaint museum. Had the Williamsburger and it was almost more than I could finish but it was so good I didn’t leave a bite.

Great place if you like nostalgia. It is amazing how many neat items they have in the museum. My burger was good. Might be the best thing on the menu. Be sure to make a stop at the General Store on the corner that has been in business over one hundred years.

After a morning of fishing at Whetstone Creek CA, the Famous Williamsburger at Marlene's for lunch was exactly what we needed.

Very cute little place. Nice detour if your traveling. You can order your sandwich and check out the museum while it cooks.

It was a spontaneous side trip. If you're interested or just want to know some Calhoun County history, this stop is a must.

What a great little gem off the highway 70! A darling Mom and Pop place next to each other. A convenience store closer to the stop sign with gas and a museum restaurant next door. Both places have a unique style that you can get lost in for days.

Food was awesome. Restroom in restaurant was clean and fresh. Service was amazing and lovely atmosphere. They take cash or card, call ahead or order out or dine in.

No fryer so no French Fries, but the burger made up for it all on it's own. I will make sure to stop by again on my travels on highway 70.

Stopped on for breakfast prior to hiking, and was happy for the experience. Food and service was good and the museum just addes to the experience

Definitely worth checking this place out. Cranes is really cool, it's an old fashioned convenience store, but you can also get some high quality work wear and apparel. The staff is amazing. Next door is Marlene's. Hands down the best cobbler anywhere in central missouri. They have really great burgers and the chicken salad sandwich is top notch. I eat here fairly frequently. Such a great place. Definitely worth going just to explore.

Almost everything you want is here. Best assortment of Filson, Carhartt and Dickies I have seen. Like it says Boots Britches Bullets Bologna! Staff was friendly and extremely helpful. New work boots for me. Food smelled wonderful though we did not eat. Stopping again soon to spend more time in museum.

Friendly staff, clean facilities, reasonable prices, good food, easy access to the highway, it's a quaint little out of the way place to eat.
