Lambert’s Café: the Only Home of Throwed Rolls If you want dinner and a show, Lambert’s Café, located in Foley, AL, Ozark, MO, and Sikeston, MO, is the one and only place to go. The Lambert family started it back in 1942, at Sikeston, MO. Then, in the 90’s, the café branched out to Ozark and Foley. The café looks like an old fashion restaurant from the outside, with rocking chairs, checkers, and an overall family friendly look. The interior is a room filled with comfortable wooden benches and tables. The walls and ceiling are covered with intriguing knick-knacks.

The restaurant has a comical affect on the customers. Besides the fact that they throw rolls to whoever raises their hand, they also play hilarious pranks on their guests such as shooting a colored string at them as if it were ketchup or mustard. They also trick them into thinking that one of their roaming bowls, with a possum inside, is actually fried okra. The sections of their menu also show the café’s comical manner, along with reasonable pricing.
