In addition to the high-flying rolls, Lambert's is also well-known for its "pass-arounds" -- fried okra, fried potatoes and other Southern delicacies that staff bring to diners for free. The cafes are also noted for generous portions and down-home hospitality. Servers always wear bow ties and suspenders -- a nod to Norman Lambert's personal style.
The cafe's "home cookin'" or comfort food is uniquely southern Missourian. The most popular items on the menu are the chicken fried roundsteak, fried chicken and chicken and dumplings. It's probably not the most healthful food, but it's warm and hearty, and diners can always get back on their diets tomorrow.
The Lambert family's Aunt Ruby was to have said if you leave Lambert's hungry, "it's your own (darn) fault."
My wife ordered roast beef ... getting nearly a pound (lb.) of it along with 2 veggie sides and I had the 1 lb. steak burger with mushrooms & fried onions with brown gravy along with coleslaw & turnip greens ... plus lots of fried okra and fried potatoes. We were overloaded and had to take half of it home in a box.
We are still suffering from the after-effects of too much good food.
So we don't recommend that you go there.
They have locations in Sikeston, MO ... Ozark, MO ... and Foley, AL
(down by Gulf Shores -- in Baldwin County).
So you aren't likely to run into one of these too often.
