We were in town this past weekend and decided to give this place a try. Great food, atmosphere and fantastic service with super nice employes. If you are ever in Stanton, this is great place to eat. Down to earth 10/10 definitely recommend! We had the Chicken Philly w/ Pepper & Onions was amazing along with a side of potato salad. We enjoyed the Pecan Pie for dessert.

My family and I had dinner here this evening and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Clean plates all around except for me but I took my leftovers to go and look very forward to enjoying them later. Fantastic service. No frills, hole in the wall kinda place but delicious country style food. Breakfast served all day and delicious homemade pies on the menu. I so wish I had some pics to share but I just dove right in to my chicken with mashed potatoes and white gravy with greens beans and a refreshing side salad. My entire meal was $11. Left full and happy.

Country Breakfast!!

We stopped in to Bruen's Restaurant today before going hiking.We ordered biscuits,gravy,sausage and grits.The food was delicious and our waitress was very nice and accommodating.The restaurant has an old country vibe and is very clean.We highly recommended having Breakfast,lunch or dinner there.

Manhattan sandwich, fried okra, and fried banana peppers!
Starla S.

This place gets my vote for the most authentic, friendly, country restaurant! I had a Manhattan sandwich, which I'd never heard of before...to this Nebraskan, it looked like a hot beef sandwich...and it was one of the best I've ever had. The fried okra and fried banana peppers were good. They have a dessert called the pretzel salad, the recipe of which apparently is a well kept secret. All I know is it had pretzels, cream cheese, whipped cream, and strawberries in a glaze. Don't miss it if they have it when you are here. Lastly, the price was perhaps the lowest we've paid for lunch on our entire trip!

Manhattan is the best! If I didn't know better I would think my granny is in the back cooking. Definitely stop here and grab a bite.

Biscuit & gravy (homemade...yum!) with bacon, scrambled eggs with cheese, and home fries (deep fried)...all delicious!

See all

Had great pinto beans and cheeseburgers for lunch! Topped off with the tasty "pig licking good" cake. I would go again.

The service is always good and the food is always hot and delicious. My only problem is having to…read moredecide between all the great choices. Breakfast is served all day and there's always great food on the buffet or you can order from the menu. If you like comfort food, this is the place to go!

I've heard it said before that if you want home cookin', then eat at home. I normally subscribe to…read morethis belief. It's one reason I don't go out for breakfast ~ I can make a pretty good breakfast at home. No use paying someone to do something I can do. So, going into Jackson's restaurant, a mom and pop restaurant specializing in home cooked style food, I had my doubts. Walking up to what resembled a school cafeteria lunch line only furthered my doubts. And, seeing the sheer number of different options sitting out behind the glass window only furthered my suspicions. Look, I was wrong. The food here is really good. The service is super friendly and helpful. I was so overwhelmed by all the choices I just told the lady behind the glass counter to pick me something. She obliged with a kindness that made me think she knew me somehow. She chose the chicken and dumplings, beef stew, apples, and two different types of corn bread. Now, I thought initially, and she even admitted, that the chicken and dumplings/beef stew mix was a little unorthodox, but that they were both so good I had to try them. Both were fantastic. The apples were awesome. I liked both types of corn bread. When I got up to leave, she called me over to the counter and said that since it was my first time there, I'd get a free dessert. You all, I was too full to even try. The food here is both tasty and filling. I was in Richmond for a conference at Eastern Kentucky University. So it was really convenient to stop by. But I'd say that even if you're remotely close, it's worth a visit. Don't, as I did, judge a book by its cover.
