Holzhauser's Bar & Grill, Portland MO

It's like stepping back in time! The waitress was also doing the cooking, she was really nice.
Chips and qeaso was good.

My wife just had to use the bathroom. I hate to stop in a place to use their facilities and at least not buy something.

I explained the situation to the lady and she said it was not a problem. I asked if there was any coffee and she made a fresh pot. We also ordered a pretzle with cheese and it was very good.

If we lived closer this would be a great hang out for us.

Again great people!

Only missed the last star because they don't have fountain drinks. Great food and even better atmosphere. Sits right on the river and Katy trail.

Super friendly people and our waitress was so nice. Decided to sit in the air-conditioning for a bite to eat while biking the Katy Trail.

They had a full bar and beer. The sodas were cold, and so were the caffeine drinks, and they had what looked like a decent menu. We had nachos that were stale chips with chili and cheese, which was the same as what they put on the chili dog. Not very tasty, not sure what we were expecting.

The person doing the cooking was smoking at the bar along with another person, which was an issue for us. Needless to say, we didn't spend much time there.
They were nice to let us fill up our water bottles, so we were appreciative.

The waitress/cook/cashier was the only employee. She took care of a packed restaurant. The food abs service deserve 10 stars.

They allow smoking inside, so don't plan on eating inside unless you can handle that. It was modestly busy when we were there, and were initially told it would be 30 minutes to get our food. OK, we got some drinks and waited outside away from the smoke. After about 30 minutes my wife went to check on the food, it hadn't even been started, possibly they forgot about us? Anyhow, after just under an hour or so, we got our food. And.it was absolutely delicious.

PS: Cash or debit card only as well, and the debit card reader wasn't working when we were there.

If you are on the Katy trail, this is your stop, outstanding burgers, cool beer and lots of ice water to go. Service is friendly and welcoming

Took the boat from hermann to Portland hunting and stopped in at this little bar resturaunt damn good food at a very reasonable price we left with our stomachs full.

As a native Missourian visiting his home state after a long absence, I couldn't be happier about this place. We were biking the Katy trail and stopped here for a break, and it was just about perfect. Tasty comfort food and good service from a lady who was the bartender, cook, manager, bouncer, and hostess. Locals at the bar, checkers on the shelf, pool table, jukebox, a shady spot on the banks of the Missouri River-if I were in a Twilight Zone episode and woke up here I'd know I was in heaven. Very, very nice.

One of the few spots between Jeff City and Hermann. Good burgers and beer (no tap). Bathroom is a little odd.
