Red Barn and Grill in Mt. Vernon, Lawrence County, Missouri

The area of Missouri where I live is full of smaller towns with limited restaurant choices. There are some real gems hiding in these little towns, but the opening of a new restaurant always makes me very happy! Mt. Vernon is not so small, with about 5,000 people, and it certainly isn't without restaurants. But many of them, particularly along the easy-access business loop just off Interstate 44, are the standard fast food outlets. So I was quite excited when a previously empty restaurant building re-opened as the locally owned Red Barn & Grill. It's home cooking, but not bland cooking. Nice atmosphere, lots of cheerful sunflowers in the decor. Extremely high quality roast beef on the French dip sandwich. Blackened chicken on a salad, big thumbs up. Good burgers, hand shaped pattie...
