I am a truck driver and I just finished eating hereI’m not exactly sure what I just walked into or walked out ofIt looks like at one point it was a great truckstop family restaurant caféBut man is it in bad shapeA very dimly lit restaurant with nobody in it when I walked inTwo people working in it both Hispanic males. The guy who was the host or was my waiter actually looked like a cook.The place looks like the remnants of a good restaurant and a dollar store, or even like a flea market type deal with a lot of odd products being sold in a restaurant, like canned tuna, aspirin, coffee mugs, various antiques and canned sardines, all piled up on tables and shelves that look like they have absolutely no place in a restaurantIt felt like a time capsule, and not a very pleasant oneI tried to stop at various small-town, truckstops and restaurants to gauge the atmosphere and yes, get a bite to eat, but this was really really oddI got the nachos and the crispy chicken wrap and the RubenAll were very subpar at bestAbsolutely nothing special nothing really homemade and they look like they’re trying to keep it together on a very, very, very low budgetI’ll be honest this place makes iron skillet look like the four seasonsLots of parking though and $15 for a shower which I think I’m going to pass onIf I am ever running 39 again, unless I desperately desperately need to park I do believe that I will keep on driving

We stopped for a quick bite and gas. Staff was very friendly and service was fast. We had two cheeseburgers and fries.

Came through expecting better than truck stop quality food. Food is not good at all. Frozen aisle of Walmart quality. Give you like 15 french fries. But service was ok. Never again. I dont normally write reviews but how expensive the food is. This needs to be said. Avoid.

Not great, but not bad. Good service and nice atmosphere, but my coffee tasted like dish water. I got an omelette with hash browns and biscuits and gravy. Which are all hard to mess up in my opinion and were all good but the hashbrowns also had a weird dish water taste....

I am a trucker andy boy and I stopped for breakfast, it was amazing, server was friendly, over all 5 stars, really nice hometown feel.

Parking: It's a huge truck stop, always somewhere to park there.

Kid-friendliness: My boy is high functioning autistic/adhd and they didn't even seem to notice or care that he was a bit different!

Well this was a great stop on our way to Madison! Everyone was so friendly and the food was delicious. The menu was HUGE and I had a hard time deciding, but went with the crispy chicken wrap. I could only eat half as it was huge! My husband got chicken fried steak and it looked so good!We will remember Woody's next time we head north! Thanks for the great and friendly service !

Place doesnt look like much but the food was excellent and the service was fast and courteous. Its our traditional stopping point every year. Both had 2 eggs, bacon, toast and home fries (sliced real potatoes but fried golden crispy) and coffee. $26.00 and left full and happy!

Not the worst food we've ever had, but not great either. Of course with us being from the south, we're picky about "southern" foods. The waiter had a strong Mexican accent but did get our order right and spoke enough English to communicate okay. Probably won't be back, but overall not the worst experience.

Not a very good place to eat in my opinion. Ordered nachos with chicken and if I wanted low quality food I would have went to a loves truck stop and bought chips and threw that queso sauce on them. I wanted real nachos and got cheap quality food with an outrageous price. Won't be going back there again.

Not bad for a quick bite, service was fine just a different pace than I am used to. Food was average. Not a place to go out of your way to

Italian beef and gyros N O T authentic! My Italian beef was disgusting. The server would not give us free ice water. He tried to have us buy Walmart bottled water. My husband had the gyro and it was processed frozen packaged meat along with the fixings. Service was not the best.

A roadside cafe that looks like it should have closed about 20 years ago, but never got the memo. Old, beat up, and dirty. Our booth had a "reclining" seat back. The bathroom is disgusting. Holes in the wall to get to the pipes. Ceiling tiles that are dirty, broken, and falling out. The food was ok. Greasy spoon type stuff. Poorly assembled and really greasy. Not worth the price we paid for it.
