old lady with fake hair pony tail I dont know if owner? was so rushy and rude and inattentive to what we were saying. would not stop with the aggressiveness and talk talk talk and rude to the waiters. pushy, un professional, no tact....very forgetful and we listened how she gave instruction to others and we both said we wouldnt work with her for one day. best part of the food was the home made bread. everyone else there seemed so nice, she was just too much. felt like anxiety having her for our waitress, was not at all a calm, easy dining experience, we felt rushed and she ignores half the table, just rude and big mouth about everything right in front of people. the prices over the top wayyyyy too expensive for what it is! cant read the menu its so tiny..and hot cooa wasnt mixed at all big chunks floating in it...it was running over when set on table and just a mess! it was all too rush rush rush and her mouth did not stop! the pies, are you kidding me? we tried 4 kinds, brought home, to be fair, we tried a gamut of them. a pile of sugar and dough and half baked and barely flavor, barely filling, every single one we tossed. what a waste! never will we recommend and we will encourage our many car show huge groups to spend their money elsewhere and bring their own grills and picnics. this place not only gave you anxiety due to the fake pony tail hair lady, but had sub par food at ridiculous high prices! very disappointed. thumbs down.

Excellent food. Excellent value. Been driving from appleton area for 15+ years because their breakfasts in particular are the best. Homemade soup, bread, desserts. Especially, the pies are great. See my photo of chicken jalapeño soup for how thick it is, just as it's served. All their soups are great, especially the chicken dumpling. There's a rotating menu, so check their FB page for daily specials. ETA: Chili October 2025.

Lived in iola most my life, and crystals has ALWAYs been my go to place. The food has never dipped in quality, and anytime I have issues, the servers and cooks were always nice and fixed it for me. The only issue I've had are the prices, but again, everywhere has increased their prices. Whatever small town politics yall are hung up on doesn't change how great it is ❤️
Classic diner style food, large breakfast portions. Clean and staff is very polite!

They served me the best food I've had in a very long time. The drinks were good, the food was fantastic, and the atmosphere was perfect! I had a hazelnut iced coffee and a frisco burger with a side of loaded fries. The server was so nice and welcoming. I’d definitely recommend coming here if you are in the area.

If you Love pie, THIS IS a MUST STOP! SO many choices, and the pieces are huge! Everyone working there had big smiles for their customers, and really hustled to take good care of everyone. We'll be back!!
