Food is always good when we eat there so I can't complain about that service is always good the only thing I can complain about is that they seem to be randomly closed on certain days of the week.

Staff, atmosphere and prices are great! We found the food wasn't hot, and just in my opinion not that great. However, others might enjoy it!

We love eating here for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. I never pass up an opportunity to eat at this place or take home food. The service is great and the food is amazing. Love the down home cooking and hospitality.

Super delicious everything except perhaps the green beans which were over-salted. The pancakes were the best! We enjoyed the salmon cakes, brunch foods, and the country fried steak. This is a must stop for those who are looking for a good dining spot after church especially. It's quaint and the service is good.

Food is always good, service is great, and the owner and employees are always very kind. Love getting breakfast here with my friends. They always are so good with my friend’s children. So glad to have them downtown!

Great dining experience. Visiting town, so glad we ran across this gem of an eating establishment.
Great food, huge portions and super friendly waitress who busted her tail to give super service to all of the tables. We'll be back.

I have been here several times and this is the first I am writing a review. This is on Main Street with parking in front of the Restaurant. It used to be the Ben Franklin store back in the 60-70s. Has Gorgeous wood floors!
We went with a large family group for breakfast. The staff and food were amazing. Waitresses were friendly, food was great, and food was cooked exactly as ordered!! That created a wonderful experience for our family.
With a group this large, I am thankful the waitress bought our food to us as the cook finished preparing the food - this worked great for our group! We were able to say our meal prayer and everyone’s food was hot and each order was correct !!
I highly recommend this restaurant.
To give an example of their commitment to a wonderful dining out experience, I will note that The Downtown Pioneer Restaurant was closing early that day due to a family funeral. Yet, we never felt rushed. The waitress refilled our coffee, our drinks and took care of us without us asking for anything. She was professional and friendly. I am not sure everyone could do that in their time of grief! Kudos to your staff and my condolences on your loss.
I appreciate The Downtown Pioneer Restaurant being open on Monday and for the great food and hospitality. I definitely rate it as 5 stars and would rate The Downtown Pioneer Restaurant higher if I could. Kudos. Thank You

Parking: Free Parking on Main Street and free parking in back of restaurant.

Kid-friendliness: The waitress gave the kids blocks to play with as well as coloring books and crayons.

Came in for Sunday brunch, were not disappointed. My dining companion had the country fried steak which he allowed as compared favorably with the best he'd ever had. I had an omelette, which was similarly satisfying. The decor is a little sparse and the atmosphere a bit minimalistic, but they had friendly service, and good food for a good price. Would absolutely recommend for locals and tourists alike!
