The waitress was rude as could be to me an my partner but friendly to the other people that came in. The food tasted and seemed like it was from yesterday and reheated in a microwave which you could hear beeping from the kitchen. Over easy eggs were actually over medium. The bacon was so hard I was afraid I was going to break my teeth trying to eat it. The gravy tasted like straight water. The toast wasn't even toasted it was just bread that was barely warmed up. The waitress also disappeared with a restaurant full of people for 15 min. I had to stand at the check out to get my check an pay. Never even got offered a refill for my drink. Worst experience and will never go back!

Comfort food and great dessert. This is a regular for us, a perfect microcosm of small town America.

Ribeyes are fantastic. Chili, even better. We are passing through for a few days and went back a second time today. Hamburger steak was really good and the homemade fries are delicious. All food came out piping hot and the wait staff was phenomenal. I love that they employ an older crowd. They were a joy! Both visits were awesome. Highly highly recommend!

They were very busy as it was a holiday. Service took a little while but not bad, and it was worth it. The food was very good.
