Typical diner / cafe. Friday fish / shrimp fry was terrific and is done all day Friday. I really liked how the shrimp were battered. Came with choice of potato and I did the baked potato with butter and sour creme. Comes with salad bar, which was smaller though sufficient.Note that they bring the fish and shrimp to you and if you want more just ask and they bring more out fresh, which was fine.

OK for a small town café. It is a great place to eat good pricing and for only one server for the entire place she is on the ball like crazy. Never had an issue with her. Never had to wait long and the cooks are on point love it.

This is a great truck-stop, 'mom n pop' place to eat.If you want good, wholesome food then this is your place to be.Menu is pretty wide and varied and should suit most tastes and appetites.Recently went there for the first time since COVID and it did not disappoint.My first time having country fried steak on the Trucker's Breakfast.So very good.Cheese curds were also excellent.The staff are super friendly.Note: bring cash. They don't accept cards but they DO have an ATM out front.Enjoy.

Great food, attentive servers, and overall really friendly staff! Our portions were enormous and the pricing is great, too! Not only did we have an awesome experience here, but I left my purse there and the new owner, Kari, tried to get ahold of me on FB and ended up driving an hour to me to return my purse safely the next day!!?♥️ Who even does that anymore in this day and age--she's an angel and has the staff to match at this establishment!!?? If you want a down home place where you're still treated like family and served absolutely delicious food in whopping proportions, then THIS is the place for you! ??

My wifes hamburger, she said was awesome. The fish was good, the salad bar needs some help, the salads weren't that good. I was kinda disappointed about coming here, especially when the rating here is 4.7 stars.

Wait was long but they were very busy and believe me when I tell you it was so worth it!! Highly recommend the Denver omelet, corned beef hash and pancakes. Couldn't have been nicer and friendlier!! Worth the drive people!!!

This little gem has the best food ever! I first ate here several years ago. I discovered it during the 100 mile garage sale. I always think about eating here again when I pass it on hwy 61. This time I made it a point on the way to Treasure Island for a concert. There is hwy 61 road construction, but the detours didn't take us too far out of the way. The waitstaff are the best and the food is awesome! They have a variety of menu items and specials, As well as a salad bar. I had a fish sandwich and chicken dumpling soup. Both were very tasty. I wish this place was closer to my home...I would visit once a week!:

Atmosphere and service were top notch. Waitress was very friendly even though she was super busy. Salad bar had a great variety of salads; pasta, lettuce, fruit types and even pickled herring. My liver and onions were perfect with a large portion. The hubby's cheese burger was delicious and he liked the spiced fries that came with. Sadly the peach pie had good flavor but the crust was not fully cooked; soggy? The lemon meringue had great flavor, but the crust wasn't quite right. I would have eaten all of it if I wasn't stuffed from the liver.
