    This is a very cute place, repurposed from an old movie theater. They have friendly servers, quick assistance, drinks with general use of alcohol, and the food is so good too!! This is a great place for a date and my boyfriend and I had a good time here! The picture is seafood ravioli that I ordered, and it’s cheesy and creamy.

    Crooner's Lounge - This is a MAGNIFICENT restaurant in charming and historic downtown Fort Scott!!! My INCREDIBLY beautiful wife and I eat here regularly. Every dinner has been EXCELLENT. From steaks, seafood, pasta and more - it's always DELICIOUS. The desserts (cakes) by Rob are almost SINFULLY good. The staff is always COURTIOUS and ATTENTIVE. It's a go-to Fort Scott FAVORITE! Try it for yourself (call for reservations, they do book fast). You can thank me later.

    Fort Scott is half-way for us and our Kansas City besties. This gem far exceeded our expectations. The food, staff, and atmosphere truly made the night one to remember. Fort Scott is no longer the half-way point, Crooners is now the destination. PS - Get the chocolate cake. Your welcome.
