Pam Bone is ready for summer. "We pick up considerably in the summer," she said of the family-owned restaurant, Haven 55. "We get a lot of vacationers in our area." Haven 55, open in Pineville, Mo. for almost six years, is a Bone family operation. Pam's son, Alan, is a trained chef and handles the kitchen. Pam takes care of the front of the house. Her husband takes care of maintenance and other duties as needed, and Alan's Brother, Brian, who is a partner in Haven 55, mans The Tavern on weekends. Pam was quick to answer when asked her favorite lunch menu item. "My go-to lunch is the Croque Monsieur," she said. "That's my favorite. I call it a glorified grilled ham and cheese sandwich. It has a little bit of mayonnaise and mustard and two different cheeses, Swiss and provolone, and ham. It's grilled to perfection. It's my favorite. I love it." Haven 55 burgers are a hot item, too. "We sell that a lot of burgers," Pam said. "We use certified angus beef, which helps tremendously. It's got great flavor." Each week Haven 55 rolls out several different lunch specials. But one, Pam said, is always popular with their regular guests. "The most popular lunch special a lot of people come for is a prime rib sandwich," she said. "After prime rib night on Wednesday, if there is some left over, that's the lunch sandwich special. Some days there is some left and some days there is not. The prime rib is sliced really thin and served with a little horsey sauce on it, some cheese and grilled onions. It's very popular. We get a lot of phone calls after prime rib night to see if we are going to have the prime rib sandwich special for lunch." Pam cautioned, get your reservations for Wednesday prime rib night in by noon on Tuesday. "That way we know how many to put in the oven," she said. "Those people with reservations will always get their prime rib. Those people who just walk in with no reservation… we can't guarantee it. They might or might not get prime rib." featured dining guide story Advertorial Feature by dave woods | nwa democrat-Gazette chef alan bone Family owned restaurant on Sugar Creek set for summer Prime rib or Fresh Catch? 42 What's up!
