This was the absolute worst. The waitress was fun but the food was cold, absolutely horrible and the whole place was filthy. I’m not sure how you mess up sour dough toast but somehow this place excelled at it.

Food needed a bit of seasoning but the portions were large. Building was a bit small. All in all I’m glad we stopped on our way through and tried it.

Ultimately the best view while sipping hot coffee in a cowboy mug, and tasting sheer delight with the best breakfast in town!

Im not sure if there was a sewage back up or what when I tried to go, but it smelled like an outhouse when we walked in and we ended up walking back out.

Stopping here on a drive through was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. Absolutely delicious homemade food, made from family recipes, by a cheerful owner. Possibly the best chicken fried steak I’ve ever had; the sourdough pancakes, breakfast burrito were absolutely excellent.

We decided to give this place a try based on the reviews and my husband’s love of homemade chicken fried steak. When we walked in, we almost left based on the “interesting” smell in the place, which might be from the sourdough starter they make and sell here. Based on other reviews, we decided to stay and glad we did. The chicken fried steak was huge. He said it was almost too thick. The gravy was good as well. The sour dough bread was tasty but a bit too hard. I wanted the Ruben but they were out of rye bread so opted for the mushroom, Swiss burger. It was very good. I also loved the hand cut fries which were super brown and crispy. Not how everyone would want them, but cooked my favorite way! The environment is different with the old train car they have cut in half and placed around a building to make the restaurant. Service was very friendly!

Smelled so bad. It smelled like there was a litter box in every corner of this place. It cannot be sanitary…

Food was really good and service was fast. Sourdough bread was awesome. I felt like I was eating in a traveling train car as all the cars and people on the street went by. Very relaxing. We will definitely be back on our next visit. There's always construction on Franklin.
