Toot-Toot Family Restaurant

I've seen Toot-Toot on lists of Missouri's iconic restaurants, yet have never stopped in the multiple times I've driven past Bethany on my way between KC and Des Moines. Last Sunday morning at 9am, we stopped in for the breakfast buffet. It's very easy to give a mediocre review for most buffets, but this one stands out as the best breakfast buffet I've ever sampled. Tons of meats: large sausage links, thick slices of country ham, mountains of bacon, chicken fried steak and chicken filets.... Then add about 15 more side items that included eggs, gravy burritos, crepes, oatmeal, pancakes, fruit, sauces...For $12 it was not only priced right, but stocked well, fresh and hot and a friendly and professional waitress kept the coffee cup filled.I can't think of a single thing that would warrant anything less than 5 stars and a repeat visit when in the area next time.

Service was great! Place was clean from what I seen of it and decorated nicely. Very well built table and chairs. Very good for large groups. Disappointed in the food from the buffet. We were there on a Friday evening, but early as in around 6:00 to eat. Place had a steady flow of people, but wasn't packed. I seen some people ordering off the menu, which I wish we would have done. All 3 of us got the buffet. It had a vast variety of food to choose from on there. The problem with the food is it wasn't all hot, just barely warm or cold. The shrimp was all cold, which it was supposed to be hot. The ham was lukewarm and the fried chicken was as well. Overall I was just very disappointed!

We were on a road trip back from MO & saw this sign for a restaurant named TOOT TOOT.. We laughed, didn't think twice & said we must stop! Having no idea what we were in for but very pleasantly surprised!The buffet seemed to be popular & looked delicious, although we were not that hungry, decided on hamburgers instead.The staff was very busy & it did take some time for drinks & placing an order, but it was a fun atmosphere!When the burgers arrived we were blown away with the size & portions. Curly fries were an absolute bonus!!Everything was amazing & now we must go back for that buffet!

If you're looking for a good American buffet right off the interstate for less than $20, look no further!Every time I go there, I'm greeted by friendly staff and seated right away and I'm gone in a half hour of arriving! I recommend the macaroni salad, ham, fried chicken, Brussels, mashed potatoes and gravy, fried fish, cornbread, rolls, and of coarse all the al a mode!

I ate here with a buddy on the way back to Des Moines, IA from Kansas City, MO. What a great time! The food was hot & always coming out fresh. The selection was perfect. The prime rib was really good, the fried fish fillets were delicious, the ham was juicy, the cheesy jalapeños were tasty, the fried and baked chicken were both excellent, and the ice cream from the soft serve machine was a nice way to end the feast. The price was very fair, and I highly recommend giving this classic spot a try. I will definitely be returning next time I'm passing through.

I sampled most everything in the buffet and it was most excellent service was good. Well worth the money will definitely come there again.

Great service and food!! Highly recommend it! We purchased the taco salad and grilled chicken fiesta salad. All ingredients were fresh and tasted great.

Great place to eat! We didn't try the buffet, though it looked (and smelled) fantastic, but got the pork tenderloin and a chef salad instead. Generous portions, for sure! My husband stops here often on his way to Des Moines for business. Servers were friendly, food came out super fast, and the restaurant itself was very clean. I'm not sure I've ever seen such a shiny front door before!One thing of note: their menu has been updated and is now a single-page menu rather than the multi-page one shown in previous reviews. I'd been hoping for an omelette, but it is no longer on the menu. We weren't disappointed, though!

Excellent Buffett and tenderloins are huge and good off menu. But it has bread pudding like grandma used to make on buffet

Stopped on vacation. Plenty of space inside. They offered a buffet but I ordered triple decker club. It was huge!! Fresh thinly sliced ham turkey with lettuce and tomato. Order a side salad that had tomatoes onions and cheese also very fresh. Husband ordered the tenderloin, 8oz but they also offer a 4oz. thick and flavorful. Iced tea was freshly brewed. Service was great. Will stop again.
