While passing through Ozark, Missouri today, I stopped at Lollis, right off the square across from Ozark City Hall. They’re known for their in-house meatball sub and a lineup of from-scratch desserts, so I had to give it a try. I ordered the meatball sub with a side of their baked beans. I met Kelly, the owner’s husband, who was very friendly, welcoming, and quick to offer recommendations. Ordering took about a minute, and my food was out in less than five — impressive turnaround. The presentation was nice, and overall the meatball sub was good. The meatballs themselves are smoked by Kelly, which gives them a great flavor. My only suggestion would be the bread — it was a little light for a sandwich with that much sauce. I think a more rustic, sturdier hoagie-style roll would really elevate it and hold everything together better. Now let’s talk about those beans. The barbecue baked beans were absolutely top notch — and I don’t say that lightly. Kelly uses a seven-bean mix, and they were outstanding. Easily the star of the meal for me. I liked them so much I brought a quart home. The desserts looked fantastic as well. I didn’t order one this time, but the strawberry cheesecake and New York cheesecake both looked amazing. If you’re ever in Ozark or just passing through, Lollis a solid stop right on the square. Grub Score 8.0/10.0

We had a great experience at Lolli’s (Off the Square). The food was delicious, portions were generous, and everything tasted homemade and fresh. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made the visit even better. One thing that really stood out was their giving wall. They offer the option to pre-pay for a meal that can be used by someone in need, which is a great way to support the community. They also have excellent kids menu options, making it a great spot for families. Amazing food, kind people, and a business that genuinely cares. We will definitely be back!

Super friendly owners, great food and a clean and well decorated interior. Would highly recommend their smoked meatball sub and their beans!
