The best food I have had in a long time. The mom pa restaurant really know how to take care of the customers, this restaurant is no different, we were waited on promptly, the food was cooked to order and served rapidly, the host/waitress was friendly and outgoing. I can't say enough good about this place. I will eat here and support this business anytime I'm in the area.

Diner employees did not wash their hands or wear gloves. They fixed our meals with bare hands.

My parents and I thoroughly enjoyed this quaint little diner. The food is AMAZING, and the workers were friendly and talkative to us out-of-towners. If you are ever in the vicinity, I highly recommend trying this fine eatery.

A nice little diner. Doesn't seat too many people total, but the food and staff is great. Hot and fresh ?✨ Definitely go during less busy hours. Cash only.

Great small place to grab a bite. Cook the food right in front of you. Has lots of things happening on the stove/griddle at the same time. Enjoyed our food

Parking: You have to park across the street from the diner. History lesson: it is the oldest continuously run diner in Iowa.
