Sully’s Old Fashioned Family Restaurant Rating, Forsyth Missouri

My recent decision to eat at this new restaurant in Forsyth Missouri was not without some trepidation on my part. Shortly after it opened in May 2010, I’d heard a few rumors to the effect that the service was a little on the slow side and that some orders were not properly cooked. (This may have been simply due to the fact that the waiters and cooking staff were new. Or, it might have also been an attempt by others to simply discredit a new restaurant in a town where there are quite a few eateries already). So, I decided to check the venue out myself.

On this day, I invited along my sister to go have lunch and to sample their midday fare. This was on a Friday at about 12:30 PM. We arrived and noted a few cars parked in the lot. One of them, I noted, was a Department of Health vehicle. Turns out the inspector was eating there. I took that as a good sign.

Upon entering, my impression of the place was optimistic. The tables were clean and well maintained. We found a booth in the back area of the smoke free establishment and did not wait very long for service (maybe a minute or so). Our waitress was a lady we had met before named Peggy who had served us while working at another restaurant. Peggy, in my opinion, is a top notch server and a pleasure to talk to.

For lunch, we both elected to order the quarter pound Angus beef hamburger. I also ordered the half pound of French Fries which came to $4.99 for the meal and $1.50 for a large coke. I did not have to wait but a few minutes for the food to arrive and found the meat to be medium well done but still juicy while the fries were crisp and delicious. My sister’s only complaint was that the buns were not toasted.

This establishment can seat at least 75 to 100 (not sure what the fire code allows for) and the back area looks perfect for groups as the central tables can easily be moved together.

I ranked this visit as follows:

Quality of Service (1= I’ve been mugged & assaulted to a 10 = I want to put this waitress in my will!)

On this visit, I gave them a 9 rating overall. The waitress was a real pleasure!

Quality of Cuisine (1= I’m poisoned, call 911 to a 10 = I’m in heaven, so leave me alone!)

Great hamburger and fries. I gave this meal a 9 as did my sister.

Overall Experience (1= A toxic cesspool, to a 10 = I’m setting up my bed in the back!)

The restaurant was quiet, clean and I felt very comfortable being there. For this visit, I gave them a 9 rating.

In conclusion, while I cannot speak for the truth or possible falsity of rumors, I can state that my visit there was nice enough that I intend to eat there on as regular a basis as my diet will allow.

Sully's Restaurant Closed

What used to be called The Long Horn Restaurant located across from Fat Daddy’s its now Sully’s Old Fashioned Family Restaurant and is under new management. Scheduled to open on or around the 12th of May. The new owner is a gentleman by the name of  Kenny and the establishment's hours will be from 6AM to 7PM seven days a week with an earlier closing at 3PM on Sundays.

Expect great fair with an emphasis on Country Fried Steak and Chicken. This is a family owned establishment with over twelve years of experience behind them and I plan to eat there shortly after they open. Too bad this eatery did not make it and closed in early 2011.
