Food is good. I ordered the meatloaf, was good, but for me I would like it more cooked. But the smashed potatoes, the gravy and the onions rings were fantastic. Service is a plus. They are really attentive and kind. My server was Millie and she was great. If you want to feel the environment of a real classic American country restaurant, this is one of those places. Definitely I will back next time I pass by.
Wonderful place to eat. Happened to be traveling long distance and in need of a place to eat with a large group, we hit the jackpot with this one! Great food, service, and wasn't too busy or crowded. Perfect
Great diner experience!! Stuck here due to severe traffic congestion and icy road conditions. Customer service was excellent. Liver and onions were amazing. But I should have ordered a side of bacon to make it a home cooked memory!! Breakfast was equally delicious. Good coffee!! GREAT PIE!!!
Fast friendly service paired with good food. Try the biscuits and Gravy!
Service was absolutely phenomenal! My waitress Caitlyn was so amazing and did such a wonderful job! Food was quick to come out and delicious! 100/10 recommend this place to anyone passing through!
The most amazing dining experience ever wow serious such a hearty meal and I was trying to cut carbs, and Anthony was at the helm when I showed up very amazing things about this restaurant who have been in business for over 50 years. You can't help but notice the sayings on the beans when you show up they have a whole piece of paper that shows them all. I'll be Dog on. I accidentally left it when I paid for my meal. These people are so kind when you show up trust me do not miss out on the opportunity to stay and I was gonna leave because I was in a hurry. I'm glad I stayed. Thanks again. You guys hope to see you again until we meet again Paul Harvey would say the most amazing things about you guys . It sounds like a broken record with me but yes, I wish I could tell more of the story about you guys God bless.
Love this place. Very clean, friendly great food. You have to try The world’s worse apple pie. Really enjoy the vibe here.
We have traveled I-80 for years, and kept meaning to stop here! This year, we did… and it was awesome! Cheeseburger & fries for me, chicken wrap with tots for my husband and another wrap for our daughter. All the food was great! The pie though… awesome! Apple, chocolate cream and coconut cream! Our server was wonderful- I wish I remembered her name! The restaurant has a unique atmosphere that is a trip back in time, and the gift shop is huge and also very unique. Oh- and a great cup of coffee!! Don’t miss out on this little place.
