Walters Family Dining, Belle, MO

On the way back from Branson, we took a detour via Jerry' Nephew's restaurant. This is in a town called Belle, which is really out in the country (approximately 2 hours from St Louis). The scenery surrounding Belle reminded us of that typical to the south of England, namely green fields divided by hedgerows, rolling hills, & lots of trees. The restaurant wasn't the typical sort of place that we get to eat at since we mostly have 'chain' restaurants close to us, so it was a real pleasure to have the opportunity to try a real 'mom & pop' type eatery. The food was excellent (I had steak with gravy) & great value for money (although Jerry kindly paid for us). Jerry's Nephew (the owner) is obviously a great cook but he likes to try different things, so for desert we tried his latest - chocolate truffles & ice cream. This may sound pretty normal, but he deep fries them so the outside of the truffle becomes crispy & the inside melts - yummy!
