Jacomos Hunger Shack in Missouri

"He gave his Chicken Fried Steak Dinner a 4 rating. I gave my Spillway Burger and Onion Rings a 5. Very cute place, friendly people."

"Just off the beaten path near Lake Jacomo, you'll find this hidden gem—Jacomo's Hunger Shack. It's the perfect spot whether the fish are biting or not! They serve up classics like an open-face tenderloin smothered in mashed potatoes and gravy, or crispy fried haddock with fries when you're in the mood for fish. Today I went for the hot chicken sandwich with fries, and wow—the large fried chicken breast dipped in their honey sriracha sauce was absolutely delicious. Sweet, spicy, crispy perfection on a soft bun. The crinkle-cut fries were hot and crunchy too. If you're still hungry (or just can't resist), they've got a bakery case full of fresh pies, those massive Chocolate Monster cookies loaded with goodies, and other homemade treats. The whole place has a cool, laid-back lake vibe with gift shop goodies, t-shirts, and more. Great food, friendly spot, and worth the detour. Highly recommend!"

"Great place, definately not fast food, the service is fast and the food is fresh. I've had the Tenderloin and Colbern burger. My son has had the Cheese Steak and a Double cheese burger. The fries and onion rings are great!"

"Great smash burgers! Little hidey-hole making fantastic food in a nice laid back atmosphere We came after 1:30 on a weekday and it was still about 1/3 full, a testament to it's quality. It's also good good gluten free buns!"

"So glad we found this place. The food was amazing and the staff was so friendly. Not very large but well worth the trip. The background music was very enjoyable as well. Dad said the tenderloin was the best he ever had and I got the Peanut Butter burger and it was so delicious."

"I could write a long lengthy review; however, Ill save you the time...GO EAT HERE. Wow wonderful atmosphere, fantastic service, and delicious food. Highly recommend this place for anything on the menu and the pie is to die for. 6 out of 5 stars."

"Absolutely loved the vibe here. The decor is on point—plants everywhere, candles and little ticket-style details for sale—it feels creative, cozy, and intentionally different in the best way. The menu is fun and inventive, and even though the place was pretty full, there was no wait to get in or sit down. We waited about 10 minutes for food, which is totally reasonable considering several people were ahead of us. The space appeared clean and well-kept, even during the rush. Definitely feels like a locals’ spot—welcoming, laid-back, and authentic. Solid experience all around, and I’d 100% go back."

"I love this place. This is my 2 nd time here. My husband's 1st. We had the tenderloin dinner and it was soo good. Love the atmosphere and it feels like a Jimmy Buffet type place. Great food, great service. Love the music. My husband said he will definitely be back again."
