Cannot express what a great find this is! Food is amazing, priced right and the hometown atmosphere puts it 😋 over the top. Local golf ....we will be back.

We went there because another restaurant was closed. The place not far off the road just goggle map it. This definitely has that small town feel to it lots of local people. It was neat to see how they greet thire people. Service was nice again small town feel love it. She was great. Food was very good but be prepared to get full. If we return I'm definitely doing biscuits and Gravy.

So so so good. The atmosphere is cozy with a wooden-rustic feel, and you can hear the kitchen from your seats. Free wifi, and we were even allowed to plug in our devices (on vacation with little electricity ). Extremely friendly staff who checked in on us very often, and GOOD food. I had the biscuits and gravy with a la carte eggs and toast and they were all SO GOOD. Eggs were fresh, and even so fresh we saw a delivery of a new batch lol. The bathrooms are also very clean, and the women's restroom is very funny (it's like a maximalist woodworker-tilelayer's dream). We had a wonderful time. Thank you for having us!

This place was great! The food was a perfect amount and the eggs were very good. The staff working there was very nice, and set a good tone for the rest of our meal. The service was very good and our waiter kept checking on us! Overall it was a great experience.
Hidden gem well worth the side trip from I-80. Lots of breakfast choices!

What an amazing and friendly cafe in Anita, IA. It must be the epicenter for Anita. The customers were even friendly. I searched for breakfast places, as I was driving on I-80, and Google Maps led me here. The irony is that I was in Iowa storm chasing, and I ate at a place called The Weather Vane. Please stop here on your travels. There's some local Jesse James history near-by too.

Was in need of a place to eat as we were heading back to WI. Wanted a hole in the wall type place since what's always advertised on the highway is the same plain Jane places. Came here and was NOT disappointed. Husband had the country skillet and I had the veggie (both with rye toast). One of the best skillets I have ever had. Filling and so well seasoned. Coffee was typical diner coffee but better than most so you'll be kept happy in my opinion. 10/10 recommend.

I seriously can’t rate this place higher. Weather Vane has been a regular stop for our family for years. Low prices, with a truly old fashioned quality of food you will not find at any chain restaurant, anywhere. Definitely worth the trip off the interstate for breakfast if you’re passing through, it feels like you’re stepping back into grandma’s kitchen.

VERY VERY EXPENSIVE FOR WHAT IT IS. $3 for a can of pop w/o free refills??? Got the $15 steak sandwich. Extremely chewy. And another $6 for a side of tots. So a single meal not filling me for $24. Outrageous. I'm all for supporting small business but this is ridiculous. Tots were the only good thing but they gave me 10 tots.
