“The Gem of Appalachian Hwy - OH32/Rt50E”

Wife and I was just getting back from a 800 mile LaborDay Weekend Roadtrip, we came thru CincinnatiOH and onto Appalachian Hwy which was a perfect traveling scenic highway to travel toward AthensOH.
Wright before AlbanyOH we started getting a little hungry and it was about Lunch Time, so my Wife started researching Google Maps for place to stop at to have a bite to eat Google Maps pin pointed in on Mammie’s Country Kitchen which she stated im not positive but i believe this may be a Ole Elem. Schl Cafeteria, we was both little excited to head back to school after 40yrs (lol).
Once arrived to location sure enough it was a Ole Schl Cafteria, just awesome!!, we entered thru doors and it was just as nothing had been changed (Step back n Time) seen the walls of lockers and walls.
We entered thru the doorway of Cafeteria / Mammie’s Country Kitchen and was met by the Hostess/Waitress she was so very nice with a great appearance and attitude.
She took our orders which was (2- Hamburgers with each Crinkle Fries & our desserts was a Pie each) the food was cooked to perfection and brought out to our table within 10–15minutes it all tasted Delicious and it the Spot just what we needed to finish out our travel.
While setting there waiting for our orders to be brought out to our tables gave us time to look around at the Cafeteria which had the looking of a Ole Schl Cafeteria that had the Chalkboard, Old Seats and etc, defiantly do not change a thing here its perfect for us all ole timers.
This is a Restaurant you do not want to pass up defiantly make a stop here, we defiantly plan stopping here when we are headed back west / east from now on.

Parking: Pull wright up to Front of School Doors and Mammie’s Country Kitchen, there is also medium size Parking Lot and Sidewalks n Steps are in good shape as well.“
