Nicole Silvey - Applebee's Sedalia

Scott Michael - Fitters Warrensburg

Stephanie Robinson - Player's

"Stephanie is always attentive of all customers, regardless if the crowd is large or small. My wife an I have judged all bartenders we've encountered across the country and have yet to find one that we say comes close. Don't take my word for it, try a few places and time how long your drink stays empty or how long your Keno ticket sits on the bar. I don't think you'll find one that beats Stephanie aka (Litttle) at Players."

Sydney Whittall - Dickie Doo Bar-B-Que

"She is friendly and knows how to make you feel at home."
