After navigating through a wormhole and two construction zones on Highway 9, I touched down at Bucks One Stop Café—a glowing beacon of comfort food and caffeine, nestled somewhere between Earth and delicious oblivion.
The place looked like it hadn’t changed since the Carter administration… which only made it feel more like home. Neon lights flickered in a way that whispered “good decisions aren’t made here, but they sure taste great.”
The moment I entered, I was greeted by a waitress named Shirl—a woman who serves hashbrowns with the same energy as a fighter pilot in a dogfight. She handed me a menu and said, “You look like you’ve been through a black hole. Sit down and eat something.”
I obeyed.
I ordered the Lunar Lumberjack, which, if you don’t know, is a full-scale assault on hunger. Eggs over-easy like a Martian sunrise, bacon that could power a small moon, and flapjacks the size of Saturn’s rings. They weren’t just pancakes—they were planet cakes.
The coffee? Bold. Dark. Mysterious. Like it had secrets from the Andromeda Galaxy. I drank four cups. Time slowed down. I briefly saw my future. It looked satisfied.
Every bite was a journey—no rehydrated space paste, no flavorless protein cubes. Real food. Real greasy. Real good.
Around me, locals chatted about fishing, alien conspiracies, and whether the jukebox was haunted. Probably. But in the best way.
Before I left, Shirl handed me a to-go cup and said, “Next time, bring me back a moon rock.” I told her I’d do better—I’d bring an appetite.
Bucks One Stop Café: 5 out of 5 space stars. Cozy, quirky, and tastier than a Martian victory feast. If you’re ever lightyears from home and need a place to recharge, this café is your gravity.
I’ll be back… probably in time for lunch.

We have enjoyed many breakfasts here! Pancakes, bacon, eggs .. always great service. We have recently discovered the double meat double cheeseburger.. delicious. We have called in the order and by the time we get there it’s ready to go. Friendly, good food, good service.
Great food and service! Love their Friday night fish buffet!
The food was great, and the service was top-notch. The waitress was super helpful.
Captain’s log: Belly rumblin’. Morale low. Cravings critical.

Very solid spot right off the highway for some good food at pretty great prices.
I'd recommend the onion rings and the chicken fried steak sandwich - maybe not the chili cheeseburger.
