Eating here was a last-minute decision, but it was a good one. Didn't hurt that they seemed to be…read morethe only place open on that Sunday! There's a bit of a long hallway as you enter, and the decor made me think that the inside was going to be more biker bar than family friendly, but it was a mistaken impression! The dining area is pretty large and, though fairly plain, it's clean and welcoming. I had a breakfast sandwich with bacon and egg, and ordered something called the Ellie-Belly, which I was told was essentially fried balls of mashed potatoes in breading. That sounded right up my alley, so I got those, too. The sandwich came out first and was tasty. Eventually the side order was brought out separately by a kitchen staff member and looked good (see picture). Unfortunately, they were still completely frozen in the middle and were inedible. I signalled our main server and explained the problem. She whisked them away and asked what I'd like instead. I decided on an order of French fries (see picture) and, oh my, were those delicious!! They were right out of the fryer and perfectly cooked! I would go back just for the fries if I didn't live 1,400 miles away! My one companion had the pancakes and sausage and eggs plate, and they said it was great. The pancakes were large but super fluffy and he ate them all! I honestly can't remember what my other companion ordered, but it was pretty standard and she enjoyed it, too. There was a buffet available but when I looked it seemed just like a lot of things drowned in gravy. Not bad, but not for me. A very solid 3.5 stars from me that would have been 4 stars but for the one inedible dish.

No vegetarian entree on the lunch menu, so I asked for grilled cheese and they accommodated this. I ordered side of mashed potatoes. They arrived with the skins in (yum!) and homemade country gravy. Everything was delicious! They also have pizzas available, made to order.

The ambiance of the restaurant is super unique! They have a bunch of artwork made by local artists, decorations everywhere, a library, hanging lights, and original ceilings. The food was super delicious! Their prime rib was perfectly tender, the cheese curds had an amazing cheese pull, the Au Jus had the perfect amount of flavor for the sandwich. The buns were toasted, and had a thin layer of butter. Overall, we were very impressed today, and will definitely be returning! I highly recommend you try Shirley's!
