Stookey's has excellent customer service. I was surprised by the size of this restaurant as it was larger than I expected for a small town. The staff was wonderful and did all they could to accommodate us. We happened to be there at the same time as a very large group and because of that our service was delayed. We... More

Stookey's is known for their catfish and onion rings. They also have a great vinegar based slaw that is outstanding. The catfish was not greasy and the onion rings were great!!!

The locals here rave about this restaurant the the fried catfish, so we tried it. Overall we were not impressed. The portions were generous and the fries were good. But the catfish was very ordinary. For a small town restaurant the prices are higher than most places. There are better choices if you want to drive.

Famous for the catfish & onion rings. I'm not a huge fan of catfish so it is difficult to say but can attest to the burgers that fly under the radar. The meat is fresh & flavorful unlike most chain restaurants. If you appreciate a good burger you can't go wrong. The onion rings are excellent with a perfect texture... More

Stookey's is one of my huband and I's favorite places to go. Their onion rings are out of this world! We usually sit in the bar where the bartenders are super friendly and have been around long enough to know how to make a great drink. We have tried most of their appetizers, burgers, chicken, ham, steaks, catfish, fried chicken... More

Great service. Onion rings, catfish and steaks are all great choices. Don't bother with loaded baked potato - cheese whiz disaster.

Great place to eat and drink! Prices are very reasonable, atmosphere not anything to write home about, but they do have restrooms on both sides (bar and dining room). The food and service sure do make up for that though! Onion rings, best ever! Jon makes every guest feel important! Young and old alike will enjoy the food.....................;D

You will want to go early in the evening, and occasionally still have a line. Staff very friendly, super great food, portions are quite ample ( I generally order a ham steak, and bring half home for another meal). . They run specials on many weekends, posted on a black board in the entryway. A recently opened banquet room adds... More
