“I ate there with a group of friends about 12 of us and we were accommodated quickly without us giving advanced notice. Good food, friendly server. There was a checkout line that wasn't moving fast but it allowed us to visit and enjoy looking. We weren't in a hurry.“
“This is a DINER, not a franchised Cracker Barrel or a I-Hop. If that is what you expect, then you are misled. If you have never been to a true diner, like they have out East, then you are missing out. The only difference here is that the diners in New York serve alcohol. I love eating here. It is just down home cooking by a staff that is attentive and work very hard to provide you a good meal and a nice experience. They actually care and they work harder than any other restaurant staff I have experienced here. It is an older building with an original indoor setting filled with happy patrons. We are lucky to have this here, especially since it is open daily from 6am to 10pm. You can always go there and get a nice warm reasonable meal. When we have had company we have taken them to multiple different "nice" restaurants in town. This is the only one where all our company actually liked their meal. We didn't chose it. They did after looking at the menu online. Everywhere else we have taken company, there were problems with the meals and the prices were ridiculous for the food we got, because it did not meet our expectations. I especially like that they have daily specials and it is just a comfortable place to be together visiting. No pretentious arrogant staff or patrons. Just down to earth people trying to make a living or have a meal. My favorite thing to eat there is the Cheeseburger soup. Sometimes I just stop by and get some to go. If you need a pristine setting with white linen tablecloths and wine with your meal, then you need to go somewhere else. Just appreciate the experience, be kind to the staff, order different things until you find what you like, and tip the staff well. They work hard for it and they deserve it.“
“I guess it's true when they say there is more than one kind of BBQ. As a north Iowa native, our typical BBQ is cooked in sauce and falling off the bone. Although it was tasty, it just wasn't what I thought it would be. What I got I believe was what is called dry rubbed? No sauce, just dry spices and it seemed more smoked than grilled but there was sauce on the table. Not complaining, just making sure that people should ask questions if they're not familiar with local BBQ.“
